A GREAT start to the Eaton series...enjoyed the HEATED verbal sparring between Griffin and Belinda...they are two LIVE WIRES...and once they realize they are attracted to one another the SPARKS definitely start to fly...Sabrina and Layla are simply ADORABLE...and the secondary cast of characters aid in keeping the story flowing...I also learned some INTERESTING historical tidbits throughout...a SWEET read.

Belinda Eaton and Griffin Rice have not been able to tolerate each other since high school but end up being the godparents to twin sisters.

When a tragedy causes Belinda and Griffin to share the custody of his brother and her sister's daughters they both begin to see the sides of one another both had overlooked. Belinda finds that Griffin is more than just a high powered, woman chasing sports attorney and he in turn finds Belinda's "nasty" side.

Rochelle Alers has given the reader an enjoyable read with independent and feisty Belinda and another family, the Eatons to look forward to reading about.

Belinda Eaton has been thrusted into parenthood with a man she can't stand. When her sister and Griffin's brother are killed in a car accident, Belinda and Griffin are left to raise their twin daughters. Belinda is a sensible history teacher that likes organization and structure. Then there is Griffin, the fun loving sports attorney uncle who doesn't have a clue how to be a father but is willing to give it his all. Belinda is pleasantly surprised at what a good father Griffin is. She also notices that the dislike she has had for him was actually masquerading her true feelings. Can Belinda let go and explore those feelings?

Bittersweet Love is an excellent book by Rochelle Alers. It is an easy read that flows very well. The characters are very believable and relatable. This is the first book in a new series. Alers does a wonderful job introducing the Eaton family and piquing your interest for future Eaton novels.

I was looking forward to reading this book. But as I began to read I found the book very unrealistic. The two main characters are brought together by a death. As they share custody of their nieces,the girls seem to not have any sorrows related to the deaths of their parents and take to their new "mom" and "dad" and changes in their life with no problems. The characters, which could not be in the same room for years, fall in love with no prompting. Maybe there should have been more development of the relationship.

Author is an excellent writer. I have enjoyed reading her series on the Eaton & Wainwright family, and Hideaway Legacy.

I agree with the other reviewer. The passion in this book was non existent. The characters actions seemed forced and there was zero chemistry. I know Rochelle Alers is a great author but this was a total miss. It took way too long for the characters to even realize they cared about each other and the sex scenes seemed forced. This was a definite miss!

I love Rochelle Alers novels and I read this book in one day. I feel like she's a very good writer who holds you from beginning to end.

This book was just O.K. to me because I felt that the storyline was rushed and that Belinda and Griffin had no chemistry. Belinda seemed stuck up, Griffin was full of himself and what about the twins Sabrina and Layla, we hardly hear from them. Maybe Belinda's brother Myles' story with be better than this.

Sexy, sizzle with real life tragedies that bring families together. The characters are totally believable. Enjoy!

Love all of her books. Rochelle is a wonderful writer and make it hard for you t be her books down until you have read it all
