Loving You
He never planned to stay in Sweetbriar Ridge.
Then the perfect woman fell into his arms.
A small town, single mom, friends to lovers romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase
Not everyone in Sweetbriar Ridge is as sweet as the town name would suggest. But single mom Jade Mackenzie is up to the challenge of winning over the town if that's what it takes to make her new shop a success. After all, this is just the latest in a long string of battles she's had to face. Since she's given up on men–all of them except for her son–she can throw all her energy into the new business. Or so she thought until the most charming and too-good-looking-for-his-own-good man walked into her shop. And she literally falls into his arms.
Levi Donovan knows how to charm his way through life; winning people over is just what he does. But no amount of charm can save him when he's at the center of a scandal that costs him his position at a prestigious ad agency. With no other choice, he's forced to return home to Sweetbriar Ridge, the small town he left behind the first chance he got. When he meets the owner of the new coffeehouse, he starts to think that small towns aren't so bad. And when he finds out Jade needs a little help promoting her new business, Levi makes it his mission to help her make the shop a success. That's just what a good friend does.
No matter how hard she tries to resist, Jade can't help but be swept away by Levi's good looks and the sweet way he interacts with her son. But Levi isn't staying, and getting attached would be a mistake. Levi always swore he would never settle in Sweetbriar Ridge, but could loving Jade be reason enough to stay?
*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*

Loving You is book 1 in the Donovan’s of Sweetbriar Ridge by Samantha Chase, a great start to a new series and seeing old friends too! 4.5 stars Jade and Levi meet when he comes to her newly opened bookstore after he has been fired from his advertising job. Tensions run high, family dynamics, meddling towns people, starting over, seeing friends from another series (Laurel Bay) and sets us up for the next books in this series! I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from Valentine PR. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So cute!! Jade is a sweet single mom who is facing some small town drama and in the process of opening a kickbutt bookstore and bakery (dream come true). Levi is a Donovan who we met in Patrick’s story and he is facing a crisis of employment, family history, and self image. Together they have immediate chemistry and work towards happiness and their goals. The story and town are well developed and the emotions and conversations are vivid and full bodied. I loved the dynamic between Levi and his sister and Jade and her parents and son. Getting the twist with Ryder and Patrick and Marissa at the end was icing on the cake! I am excited for more of this series and seeing how the family secret of why their dad left, how the town grows, and how the relationships develop all turn out!!

Loving You is the 1st book of The Donavans: Sweetbriar Ridge Series, and as always Samantha doesn’t disappoint. Of course, she brings back the Donavan in this series. The cousins are in full swing, and first up is Levi. This small town, friends to lovers, opposites attract, single mom packs a punch with the slightly angsty family drama. The banter, the sassiness, and chemistry is on point. Jade is hard working independent single mom who is running a bookstore/ coffee shop. Things unfortunately haven’t been going her way in her new business. Levi, gives us all the vibes. He’s sweet, handsome, and charismatic. But, he finds himself in the last place he wants to be in. His hometown after a major life change. Jade and Levi help each other in so many ways. We also see them struggle due to their past relationships, and life experiences. Hard realizations, for the both of them have them turning to each other. Of course, I loved getting the family banter, updates on the Donavan cousins from Laurel Bay. And, sweet little Silas was just the cutest little guy. Can’t wait for the rest of the books in the series. The book is 3 POV. Carly Robins was the narrator and did a good job in keeping me engaged with the story, but also with her change in characterizations.

I really enjoyed Jade and Levi’s story. This sweet tale was filled with humor and heart, and a cute and mischievous young Milo. Small town life is something Levi wanted to escape years ago, but he’s back, hopefully not for long, after a change in his job status. Jade is happy in her hometown…except for the “2%” of judgmental busybody population who makes it harder for her to launch her new business. While Levi helps Jade with marketing her business, their chemistry burns. But do they have a future together when one needs to stay and one wants to go? Loving You is another great Donovan family romance from the talented and wonderful Samantha Chase. From start to finish, this couple was a joy to get to know and watch fall in love.
