Sweet Talk
Helena Rac
Genre: Second Chance Romance
Release Date: November 30, 2015

From debut author Helena Rac, a sassy, sexy comic tale of second-chance romance and the many uses of icing.

Tessa loves cupcakes. They’re tasty and comforting, and they’ve made her bakery a success. Men, on the other hand, are unreliable jerks who are bound to break her heart. Even if they’re hot enough to melt her frosting.

Tessa is smitten with Luke after a less than graceful encounter on the streets of Chicago, and fate keeps reuniting them. She’s certain he’d be delicious in bed, but there’s just one problem: Tessa’s sworn off long-distance romances, and Luke lives in London. Besides, he’s proven himself to be bad news. Although Tessa’s sexy stranger swears to set aside his player ways after she carries out sweet revenge, she’s far too smart to believe in happily-ever-afters. Luke will need to use every weapon in his arsenal – including a spatula or two – to convince Tessa they’re meant to be together.

Helena Rac has done it! With this book you can have your cake and eat it too! Sweet Bliss is a fun, flirty, sexy, and heartfelt contemporary romance that with hit all the sweet spots! If you don’t sigh with contentment and long for cupcakes and sweet treats as you read, you are doing it wrong. This story is one of those sweet stories of fate and the strength of two characters to take up where fate left off. It has moments of hilarity but also moments of grief and strife. This is a story of what could be and the beginning of something that could turn into a forever happily ever after.

Tessa and Luke. These two have what is takes to be a couple that makes it long term if they can just get past their hesitation and jump all in. Tessa has been burned before and those scars are still visible. Luke has never wanted to commit to more than a fling. When you get these two together, well it is bound to be messy. But the messy relationships are usually the ones most worthwhile. These two share a connection and it is fun to watch that connection grow from admiration to lust to something deeper. When these two decide to see where a step in the right direction would lead, there is much to anticipate. The lust is explosive. At times it was like BAM… sweet romance and then they just cannot keep their hands off each other. Normally this would annoy me a little bit but it works in this scenario. These two are connected and their lives weave in and out. They have both felt the pull towards one another and they decide not to hold back. That is terrifying to them both but it works really well. What starts as a physical connection delves into something more. They are unapologetic about their lust for one another, something that fits in this book.

Sweet Talk is the beginning of a relationship that could be the catch all and end all. So often we see the beginning, middle, and end in a love story. This story focuses on the beginning. We see Tessa and Luke meet for the first time, then their brief encounter again months later. We see them meet once more with a bit of history (a messy beginning to be sure) and the story progresses. There is no insta-love. There is definitely insta-lust and a bodice ripping romance, but the emotions stay at a realistic level. There is attraction, confusion, hurt, anger, like, and the progression to something more. That is something that makes this book great. It is a natural progression of an adult type relationship. Sure it is a bit more dramatic, but not everyone falls in love in chapter 3. The relationship evolves at a steady pace and leaves you with the contentment that a happily ever after is in the stars for these two if they can just open their eyes and grasp it.

Helena does a great job of bringing this story to life. The characters are well developed and intriguing. I loved watching how each person in the story interacts with one another. There is family, comradery, and friendship. Tessa and Luke are well developed main characters who have baggage that is believable and well presented in the story. Everything we learn about them is essential to what is happening and keeps the connection strong. The situations and thought processes are spot on in this story. I love that the relationship is complex in the beginning. Sure it is a physical relationship that cannot be denied and they enjoy each other’s company, but there is something more brewing and it makes things a bit more real. Helena Rac stole my heart with this story and I demand it back. Sweet Bliss is a fun and heartfelt story of love, lust, and cupcakes!
