When friends become lovers . . .

Firefighter and former Marine Jackson Wilder has tough guy down to an art, but he’s learned the hard way that promises were made to be broken. Abigail Morgan was once his best friend, his first kiss, his first love, his first everything. He’d just forgotten to mention all that to her and she blew out of his life. Five years later, she’s back and he’s battling a load of mistrust for her disappearing act. But for some reason he just can’t keep his lips—or his hands—to himself.

It can lead to disaster or . . .

When her stint as a trophy wife abruptly ends, Abby returns home to Sweet, Texas, and comes face-to-face with Jackson—her biggest and sexiest mistake. Time and distance did nothing to squash her love for the act-first-think-later stubborn hunk of a man, and when he suggests they renew their old just-friends vow, Abby realizes she wants more. She’d cut and run once. Could she do it again? Or could she tempt him enough to break his promise?

She's experienced life in such diverse ways as working in a Hollywood recording studio to chasing down wayward steers.

Chapter 1
In the split second before hell exploded, Jackson
Wilder picked up his weapon and pounded the
bastard back. His hands were steady. His mind fo-
cused. Sweat rolled down his back from the heat
and the adrenaline.
The memories.
He shoved away any weakness that taunted
him from the edge and dared him to fail.
He would not.
Could not.
Ever again.
In his book, fighting a fire that threatened to
destroy lives was no different than combating the
enemy on the parched soils of Afghanistan.
Same battle.
Different villain.
The only variation? This war he had a better
chance of winning.

2 Candis Terry
He ignored the ache in his bones from the busy
shift he'd just completed with the San Antonio
Fire Department and gathered all the oomph he
had left to fight this structure fire for the Sweet,
Texas, volunteer station.
He'd do anything to protect his hometown.
Hell, he'd even gone to war.
Still was if anyone paid attention.
Except he wasn't really the heart- on- your- sleeve
kind of guy, so most folks couldn't see what went
on inside his head or heart.
Those battles he fought alone.
On the battlefield, it didn't matter if the weapon
was a hose or a military assault rifle— it felt good
in his hands. Felt right. It gave him a reason. A
purpose. An opportunity to help others and sink
his thoughts into something other than his own
colossal fuck- ups.
And he'd made plenty.
As fire licked up the side of the house, he
moved forward— daring it to jump to the roof.
Like a living, breathing entity, it paused, seemed
to look at him, and accept the dare. When it made
its move, he shook his head.
He who blinks first gets their ass annihilated.
One slight shift of the hose shot bullets of water
that split the flame. Weakened its power. Forced it
into submission.
Today, he could claim victory.
Tomorrow? Who the hell knew.
Minutes later, he finished helping with over-
haul, then climbed back up into the engine. Head
dropped back and eyes closed, he endured some

Sweetest Mistake 3
good- natured ribbing on the way back to the sta-
tion from the group of volunteers made up of
ranchers, lawyers, and shop owners. The cama-
raderie he shared with them was different than
the one with the guys from the big- city station.
But no less important. He'd grown up with some.
Learned from others. Respected the hell out of all
of them.
Back at the station, he'd barely kicked off his
boots and shrugged out of his turnouts before fa-
tigue sank deep. Too tired to stop and shower, he
tossed a wave to the crew, and, behind him, the
steel door slammed shut.
Anxious for a quick combat nap before he
picked up his baby girl for their Wednesday- night
visit, he shoved his sunglasses on and headed
toward the big silver truck parked in the back lot.
Once inside the cab, he stretched, yawned, and
stuck the keys in the ignition. The engine turned
over with a low growl, and he eased out toward
the road.
In his thirty- one years, traffic in beautiful down-
town Sweet had never been more than a trickle or
two of farm vehicles or mom taxis on their way to
pick up the kids at school or shuffle those same
kids off to soccer practice or a 4- H meeting. But
lately, since a few businesses had been revamped
by the TV show My New Town, tourism had picked
up. The traffic flow as well. He didn't like it, but
there wasn't much he could do.
The county sheriff's SUV cruised by, with its
black deer guard gleaming in the late- afternoon
sun. Jackson lifted his hand with the locals' two-

fingered version of a wave. Instead of continuing
down Main Street, the patrol car swerved into the
fire station driveway and stopped. The window
rolled down with a squeal.
“Been looking for you, Wilder.”
“Aw, hell. What'd I do now?”
Deputy Brady Bennett— childhood friend and
local chick magnet— chuckled. “I'm sure there's
something. Lucky for you I don't need to haul out
the handcuffs this time.”
“Ever,” Jackson reminded him.
“Only because you never got caught.” Brady
grinned, knowing he'd been in on some of those
wild- ass and death- defying capers too. “And
might I add that you aren't dead yet.”
Jackson rolled his tense neck muscles. “Feel
like it.”
“Busy shift?”
“Four structures in the big city. Just mopped up
one here too.”
“Eckels's place.” Brady pushed back his Stetson.
“Heard that over the radio.”
“Yeah. The missus set a hot pot of fryer oil next
to the gas grill to let it cool off. The mister popped
on the grill to cook some Brats for lunch.”
“Poof.”
“Yep.” Jackson flexed his fingers on the steering
wheel. “Caught it before it hit the roof.”
“Lucky for them.”
Jackson nodded. “So what's up?”
Brady squinted against the sun. “She's back.”
“She who?” Jackson nearly shook his head at the
pointless inquiry. He knew who by the immediate

tingle up his spine. The instant rush through his
heart.
“Ms. Abigail Morgan.” Brady glanced down
at the computer between the seats, then back up
again. “Or I guess she's Mrs. Rich now.”
In more ways than one. “When?”
“Rolled in yesterday around noon. She's over at
her folks' place.”
“They come back too?”
Brady shook his head. “Saw one of those per-
sonal storage containers and a foreign car in the
driveway, so I stopped in to check on things. Rent-
ers moved out. Abby said she's there to fix up the
house and put it on the market.”
A tangle of emotion coiled in Jackson's soul. It
took everything he had to stay cool. Keep his tone
even. Neutral. “How'd she look?” Sheesh. That
hardly sounded superficial.
“Smokin'.”
Hell, he knew

In Review: Sweetest Mistake (Sweet, Texas #2) by Candis Terry

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2015

I decided to take a short break from my regularly scheduled reading to take a little trip back down to Sweet, Texas this week and I'm so glad I did. Jackson's story had me swooning all over the place. I totally understand why my friend enjoys this series as much as she does. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites of this genre.

Second chance stories are easily one of my favorite tropes in romance. I've always loved the idea of past loves reuniting. (I'm not going to even spend a second thinking about WHY I enjoy them so much. Ha! That's a bad mental road to travel. But I digress...) This time the romance was between Jackson and Abby. They were each other's first everything. Abby left Jackson years ago when he joined the military and headed to Afghanistan. It was a bad choice, but it was the best one she could make at the time. Life has changed drastically for each of them in the last seven years, but now they're both back in Sweet, Texas and it's time to come to terms with what happened in the past. Because, the spark is undeniably still there between them.

I really liked both these characters. Jackson – former soldier, current firefighter, father – was sweet and brave. You just couldn't NOT like him. He's close with his family, maintains a good relationship with his ex wife and is just flipping adorable when with his daughter, Izzy. Abby was a little tougher to get a handle on, but I liked her. She's not had the easiest time since leaving Sweet – entering a loveless marriage, being a trophy wife and then ultimately being unceremoniously dumped. I really did feel bad for her. I also enjoyed her attitude and spunk. And when with Jackson, chemistry sizzled all over the place. I enjoyed the push-pull of them fighting not to fall back into those old feelings, while at the same time wanting little more than to be together.

This was a great addition to the Sweet series. I loved visiting again with the characters from the first book. Charli and Reno still make me smile. Mom Jana's meddling self is one of my favorite things about this series, too. It's so perfectly southern and realistic, without being totally over the top. This series is a perfect one to turn to when I'm in the mood for something light, with great romance and some feels, that will leave me smiling at the end. I'm absolutely looking forward to fitting the third book into my reading schedule soon.

sweet small town romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2014

Firefighter and former marine Jackson Wilder doesn’t know how to deal with his former best friend Abigail Morgan. He shared an awful lot of firsts with her but then she abandoned him for the bright lights of the biggest city. Now she is back in town after her marriage failed and he can’t resist the urge to get in touch with her again.

Jackson is the epitome of a clueless male who doesn’t know what he had until he lost it. He had feelings for Abby but doesn’t want to pursue them in case he lost her but his seeming ambivalence made her leave the first time. He tried a relationship with another woman but still carried a torch for Abby. I enjoyed him most as a character when he was interacting with his daughter. He let her put makeup on him, knows a huge amount of Disney movie references and tries to put her needs first. There are hints at PTSD that probably weren’t needed as he was complex enough as a character – particularly when his ex and Abby started to become friends.

Abby returned to Sweet ostensibly to get her parents’ house ready for sale. She is at somewhat of a loose end after her sham of a marriage ended and Sweet acts like a soothing balm. She slots back into her old ways fairly quickly and with a little help from Jackson’s mother, reignites their friendship. So much of Abby’s back story relates to her ex husband and the insensitive way he treated her. I would have liked more on how she acted before he turned her into a perfect mannequin.

The romance itself is fairly predicable but the journey along the way is enjoyable. One issue I have is that I still can’t tell the Wilder brothers apart as there isn’t that much to distinguish their voices or appearances. I suspect they will be fleshed out properly when they get their own book but it is a mite confusing at times when there are three of them together. All in all, an enjoyable quick read.

I always enjoy the first love reunited theme. Jackson and Abby were always best friends growing up, but they kept their stronger feelings to themselves. I can imagine the fear they felt about possibly losing the friendship if they confessed to more, but it would be hard to dismiss it after being intimate with each other. The disappointment and hurt that Abby must have felt after Jackson brushed it off and acted like it hadn't happened, both times, would have had me running too. When Abby returns to town, I love how Jackson doesn't waste any time in heading right over to see her. And, I really enjoyed the easy nature of their friendship. They could be honest with each other, about everything except their true feelings. There were times he could be so childish and short-tempered, but others when he was the sweetest and sexiest of the Wilder boys. Izzy, his daugher, provides so many Ahh moments. His relationship with his ex-wife, Fiona, deserves a medal. They have tremendous love and affection for each other, but just not the kind of love for marriage. It was a lot of fun to see Jackson and Abby getting to know each other again and have trouble keeping their hands off one another. These two were setting off smoke detectors when they were together. Thank goodness Jackson is a sexy fireman to help with that. You can't go wrong with this book. I love all these characters and this sweet town.
