The Sweetest Thing (Montana Riverbend series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lilian Darcy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 5,485 ratings
She left Marietta eighteen years ago—and left her heart behind.

Tully Morgan hasn’t been back to her Montana hometown for more than a few brief visits since the night of the 1996 senior prom eighteen years ago, when a long-held family secret sent her running to her uncle in California in shock. She stood up her date Ren Fletcher that night, and she hasn’t seen him since.

Now she’s here for an extended stay, to help take care of her seriously ill mother. It’s an edgy reconciliation, the first time that Tully, Patty and Sugar Morgan have been together since that long ago prom night. Tully has had so much anger toward Sugar… can she ever forgive her? And Sugar still has one more secret that needs to be dealt with, one that needs Ren Fletcher’s help. Has he forgiven Tully for leaving him in the lurch on prom night?

And is there any chance that he and Tully can rekindle what they might once have had, when he’s still tied to someone else?

Book 2 in the beloved A Montana Riverbend series, The Sweetest Thing delivers heart, healing, and homecoming in the best tradition of small-town romance.

    I really really enjoyed this book. The story so tragic and honest was such a refreshing read. Love Tully and Sugar and the respect the author has for those characters.

    I started this book at 11pm and finished at 4am. In the middle of one of the most hectic weeks of my life so far. But it's worth the missing sleep and the wet patches on my sleeves and pillow from tears. This story is sort of a wake up and stop to smell the roses and notice people & life, as precious as it is

    When I started this book, I didn't think I would enjoy it. It was different to the books I usually read. I like easy going romance. I couldn't get into it a first, but after just a few pages I was hooked, thankfully I stuck to it and had a very enjoyable experience. Look forward to reading the next in the series and will get book one as well.

    This story is about love; about the inconditional love of a mother and the passional love between a man and a woman. And it's also about forgiveness.

    The storyline really surprised me and couldn't put the book down. Totally worth to read!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Woman is back in town to help her mother fulfill one last wish, with the help of the one man she jilted at prom by fleeing...
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 May 2018

    The Sweetest Thing, in retrospect, feels more of a "pun" title, for the story revolves about Suzanne "Sugar" Morgan, Tully Morgan, and all the people around her. It was more of a family drama than a pure romance, but it sure jerked some tears out of me, but somehow, it didn't quite work all the way. But first, let me do a blurb...

    Tully Morgan left the town of Marietta Montana 18 years ago, at the night of the prom, after some serious revelations that send her world crashing down upon her, and sent her fleeing to California to go to school there, months early. She even stood up her date that night, Ren Fletcher, and she never explained why. Now, Tully is back, to face the revelations that shattered her that night, to take care of her... seriously ill mother, Suzanne "Sugar" Morgan. But Tully had been raised to think of Sugar as her sister, only figuring out that one night had her fleeing the state. But Sugar has cancer, and before she passes, she has one last regret she needed to resolve, and she needed both Tully and Ren's help to do it. But Ren's got his own problems. Ren's marriage is crumbling and the passion had died a long time ago. Ren often wondered what had happened that one night that lead him down to this loveless marriage, and what may have been. Now that Tully is back... and still single...

    Without completely spoiling the story, let's just say Tully and Ren will have to cooperate to help Sugar redeem herself... by carrying out one last request, and as a result, they will force ALL the Morgan family secrets into the open, and perhaps then can they acknowledge their love for each other and stop dwelling on the time lost. I did like the twists in the story, about how Sugar and the family then chose to deal with the problem and how that affected subsequent generations, but it also repelled me, as in "OMG how could they..." But somehow the revelations didn't tie back into the romance that much. Still, it's an interesting read.
