About this listen

Being a single mom of four kids has never bothered me. However, after getting married to their dad at a young age, I quickly learned that I was better off taking care of things myself. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.

But when a new man showed up in town, I suddenly started second-guessing everything. Being around him created feelings that I hadn’t felt in— ever? The way he looked at me and talked to me was different than anyone I had met before, and I was quickly under his spell.

Aside from the fact that he didn’t live there, I quickly found that he had more baggage than I did, as well as some secrets he was determined to keep hidden. Maybe happily ever afters were better left for fairy tales.

Candy Coated Promises by Samantha Baca is the perfect novella for Valentines! This sweet, short, yet steamy novella is an amazing read!

Sheila Roberts is a divorced mother of 4 who has always made her kids the priority. Dealing with her obnoxious and outrageous ex-husband for the well-being of her kids has been her main concern, but after meeting Parker Hudson she is ready to put her needs first. Parker Hudson is a genuine, caring gentleman who finds himself attracted to Sheila all while dealing with the baggage of his own. This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching story of second chances and finding love.

I loved this novella. It was a hilarious romantic comedy that I did not want to put down. This book is emotional, yet light-hearted and is a great combination of steamy, yet sexy. Parker and Sheila’s journey to love was filled with twists and turns and it made me love this book all the more. We see realistic and flawed characters trying to figure life out while taking a chance on a relationship that could lead to love.

I loved how everything came together at the end and everyone got the happy ending they deserve. Marie Hawkins isn't a new to me narrator and I really enjoyed her narration in this book.

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect novella for Valentine's Day!
