Sweet it is!
This review was originally posted on Books of My HeartReview copy was received from Author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This author excels at infusing life into her characters which engages readers on a whole new level. Sweet is the fourth book set in a small town in California, in the 7th and Main series. It takes an interesting view about a decade before the first three in the series happen. I like getting a different perspective.Daisy is smart and talented and loves her family. I feel badly she isn't able to be more forthcoming about what she really wants. Eventually, she manages it. But it hurt that she couldn't make it clear earlier.Spider is a good guy with a bad past. He has done well and I was so worried his past would catch up to his many years of building a good life. He doesn't feel he is good enough for Daisy but he really likes and respects her.Thankfully, Daisy has a great family and lives in a town with wonderful, caring people. I love the safety net of "it takes a village." Daisy and Spider might seem too different but they both are artists and get along well. I appreciated the epilogue which brings things back to the present storyline of the other three books.

4.0 out of 5 stars The yearning for community
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021

I would never have pegged myself as a small-town romance fan, but there is just something so soothing and uplifting about a community where people still care about one another. Our world has become so fragmented and atomized that even - or rather especially - people living in big cities surrounded by millions of other people can experience strong feelings of loneliness, disconnectedness and alienation.

This novella is part of Elizabeth Hunter’s Love Story cycle 7th and Main, which is set in a fictional town in Central California. It takes place a few years before the other stories and is the tale of how Spider and Daisy met. After a misspent youth in LA with some gang involvement Spider has come to Metlin to get away from that life. As a talented tattoo artist he is slowly gaining recognition beyond Metlin, which is not entirely a good thing. Daisy is the pride of her Mexican family as she is a straight A student and the first who will go to college, only she hasn’t settled on a major yet. The reasons for that is that she doesn’t really want to study, but rather follow her passion and take over her family’s bakery/café. Spider and Daisy have been mooning over each other from afar, both wary to take the first step for different reasons. But when they finally start dating and fall in love, Spider’s past catches up with him and it seems that he will have to leave Metlin and Daisy. But Daisy’s family and the community rally behind them, so that they can realize their dreams without being forced to leave…

Beyond being a love story, the real appeal of this novella lies in the type of tight-knit and supportive community envisioned, that – though it might seem rather utopian – is something most of us yearn for.

“Sweet” is definitely sweet AND spicy, and the perfect novella to curl up with this holiday season!

I’ve loved Spider and Daisy from the beginning of the 7th and Main series, and I was so excited to get a glimpse into their story. Going back in time, we learn how they met - including a series of endearingly delightful meet-cute moments, made hilarious by Spider’s, ah, unique narration style and Daisy’s perfect combination of temper and crush-induced awkwardness. (I love Spider’s POVs. Absolutely amazing.) It is a wonderful story, and kudos must be given for one of the most incredible phone-number-exchange-scenes I’ve ever read.

But unfortunately, nothing is simple, and both Daisy and Spider have to come to terms with whether staying together in Metlin will endanger their futures and the people they care about.

Happy as always to have the chance to return to the 7th and Main series with an early copy of “Sweet” - and one I definitely recommend!

What can I say about 7th and Main series?

This particular series is very dear to my heart. 7th and Main are stories of the everyday that anyone can relate to, especially if you live in a small town. Add big family dynamics to the mix and a dash of slice of life and you have Metlin, a small town in Central California. But the magic of Metlin is not the mountains, nor the farms or the local brewery. The magic of this small town is the people that take care of one another.
Though the first three books (Ink, Hooked and my personal favorite, Grit), there is a constant that binds the community. The constant is in the form of a couple, tattoo artist legend Manuel "Spider" Villalobos and his wife, Daisy Villalobos, owner of Café Maya. Sweet, the fourth instalment of the series, happens to be their love story and how they came to be. We see a young Emmie (to know more about Emmie, please give Ink a chance. You won't regret it. Books and tattoos? I'm in!) and finally we get to see Betsy, Emmie's grandmother and the owner of Metlin Books.
Sweet is.. well, a sweet book. We see Daisy's struggle to either choose college or taking over the café, being careful to not disappoint her family. And on the other hand, Spider deals with a past he intends to leave buried, but it has the Lazarus ability to resurrect when he least expect it. Spider and Daisy have been crushing at each other for a while. When his past catches up with him and Daisy needs decide what she really wants, that is when the magic of a small community gets to work full throttle.

Overall, if I could give it more stars, I would.

If you come by this review, give yourself the magic of 7th and Main. You will not regret it.
Thank you again, Ms. Hunter, for this gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a strong addition to 7th & Main
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022

Being a staunch fan of the Irin Chronicles, the Elemental Mysteries, & 7th & Main series, I was really looking forward to reading ”Sweet” when I saw it was available…. largely based on Spider’s and Daisy’s influence and contributions to the plot development in “Ink”. Truthfully, I have been looking forward to their backstory and perhaps even having their story carry the 7th & Main series forward somehow… sadly though, at a mere 168 pages, all readers got was another glimpse at Spider and Daisy, unequal to the depth of story in this series’ other three books. Fingers crossed Ms. Hunter will consider doing a more expansive rewrite of ”Sweet” in the future doing these characters far better justice. Yes, I understand this was a novella and not a novel… I only believe it was unfortunate that a novella format was chosen in a series with such a rich characters. I would’ve been happy as a reader and fan to have waited a bit longer for a better story.

I love the 7th and main series, so when I found out we were getting Spider and Daisy’s story I was ecstatic. This book goes back to how their romance began. I really love this town that has been created. I’m so enamoured by the characters and the interactions. The way they care and look out for each other. Such a beautiful way to discover that family is not as black and white as it seems and they are not always blood either.
This is how Elizabeth Hunter always warms my heart knowing that there is something out there for everyone. If you haven’t read this series go do it. If you’ve read the first three books you will definitely not want to miss this one.

As always the characters are rich and individual and you're on their side from the get go. I love the 7th and Main series and am itching to hear more about all of their lives.
I really wish this book had been longer and not just a novella; it seemed like I hit the epilogue all of a sudden and I wasn't anywhere near ready to finish reading!
