Review: Sweet Romance - Great Read
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is the third book in the Promise Harbor series and while it can be read alone, I think you will enjoy the town, the characters, and the mischief so much, that you'll wish you had read them in order. Jilted & Bolted are the first two books by fabulous authors as well. The fourth book is due out April 30th so there isn't a long wait to find out what actually happens in this small town!Busted revolves around Jackson, ex-NHL hockey player & groomsman, along with Hayley, small town cop with a crush on Jackson since their school days.  These two characters really cracked me up.  They get into some pretty unique situations that just had me laughing out loud.  I love that both characters have relatively normal situations to stress over, which just makes us love them more, but they still manage to crack jokes with one another and diffuse some of the tense moments they get into. Both Jackson and Hayley have big shoes to fill in a small town.  Everyone seems to expect them to act a certain way and when they don't things tend to take adventurous directions.Sydney Somers does a great job of getting the readers attention and keeping it throughout the story.  The small town antics that happen, as well as the supporting characters with their issues that you have to wonder about really make a reader keep turning the pages to find out what happens next. There is a nice recap in the beginning of Busted to let you know what is going on with the series in case you haven't read the first two books.  I really loved the premise of the series and while Sydney Somers is a new author to me, I am looking forward to picking up more of her books in the very near future. Her ability to write compelling characters with humor and angst really hooked me.
