Bittersweet by Carrie Aarons is now live!
The last place Cassandra Mauer ever thought she’d step foot again was Hope Crest, Pennsylvania. But once the world-famous actress gets the call that her estranged father has passed, and his only living relative will need to settle his estate, she finds herself back in the small town that sent her running once upon a time.
Little do her dilapidated childhood home and her father’s affairs know, Cassandra was in need of a project exactly like this to distract from the glamorous life she no longer wants or recognizes. That is, until she bumps into the man whose family is considered Main Street royalty.
Patrick Ashton is the boy next door, a Hope Crest celebrity, and one of the heirs to the most famous restaurants on the East Coast. He has no problem reminding her just how much the town hated her old man … and in turn her for sharing his last name. But when he realizes she’s going to sell the land their two families have fought over for decades, Patrick might have to change his tune.
As he begins scheming to charm the woman the entire country wants to be or be with, she can’t deny the spark of chemistry between them still exists after all these years. The one that simmered in the shared woods behind their homes where no one else could see.
And when the danger that sent her fleeing as a teenager returns to seek revenge, she finds Patrick genuinely in her corner, despite his family’s objections. In the place she swore never to return, she might have just found the love and life she was searching for.
Except old wounds and unsettled scores might not let her keep it.

My Review...
What a fantastic start to a new series by Ms. Aaron.
Set in the quaint small town of Hope Crest, this is the introduction of the town’s “royal” family, the Ashtons.
This is the story of Patrick and Cassandra.
Cassandra is returning to the town that shunned her as a young teen, yet she yearns to leave the limelight and settle back into small-town life and living. Coming back brings back a lot of memories, both good and bad, and it also brings her back into Patrick Ashton’s world.
Patrick is one of the siblings; he is working for his family’s business and trying to find his ever after. He knows his past is tarnished by some of his actions (or non-actions), but he wants a bright future with a love of a lifetime.
You get all the feels with this story, angst, thrills, a bit of mystery, and all the swoons and smexy times you come to love in a Carrie Aarons’s story. I appreciated the hints and lead-ups to which Ashton sibling she will feature next!
