Busy Bean Book 1: Sweetheart by Sarah Mayberry

Busy Bean Book 1

The first Busy Bean novel is an achy breaky romance with gorgeous writing! - Sarina Bowen

I just wanted to get my hands on his beans

Four years ago, I had a ridiculous crush on my sister's boyfriend. But when they moved away together, I put Beck out of my mind and my heart. But now he's back, and roasting the best coffee in Vermont. I need to convince him to supply the Busy Bean. And I need more of those kisses we accidentally shared outside the coffee shop. He still makes my heart race faster than a triple shot of espresso.

She should be off limits, but instead she's pushing mine

Her sister burned my life to the ground, so Haley Elliot is the last woman I should bring into my bed. Although our business relationship is giving way to something more than a fine grind. Neither of us can help ourselves. And what’s worse, I think I’m falling for her.

But it’s a small town, and ours is a big secret. And when her sister blows back into town, suddenly the coffee isn’t the only thing brewing...

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Such a great book to kick start this series! The Busy Beans series is another branch from the World of True North. And this book, Sweetheart by Sarah Mayberry was a great one to start it off. For those who have read Sarina Bowen's True North series, then you recognize the Busy Bean as Zara and Audrey's cafe. Plus you will recognize Roddy after reading Bowen's The Roommate. Plus a bunch of other familiar faces from that world. Mayberry does an amazing job of adding another member to the Busy Bean family when Haley is hired. Haley has quite a lot of experience in the cafe world and it is the perfect set up as she works on her side job which is an Etsy store for her custom made leather boots, belts, and so much more. Her artistic talent is one that blows everyone away. And just as she starts her new job, she finds herself in the path of Daniel Beck. AKA her sister's ex from years ago and by the expression on his face, he isn't too pleased to see her. And she can't blame him. She knows her sister is destructive, she could only imagine how their break up really ended. But what's worse is that she always had a crush on Beck and for him to look at her like that...well, it isn't great. However, it isn't long until something changes and they realize the chemistry and attraction between one another is unlike anything either felt before. And Haley begins to wonder if it is not too crazy to have a relationship with him. Beck is definitely confused at first when it comes to Haley. The opposite of her sister in every way and though he promises himself to stay clear of that family, there is something about Haley that just draws him in. And he soon learns that Haley might be just the one he was looking for all along. Loved their story so much. Their relationship has so many complications but despite those challenges, the chemistry between Haley and Beck is undeniable. You were rooting for them to find their happily ever after, especially with everything the two of them have been through. Great start to this series and I cannot wait for more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
