The boy next door is about to rock her world... again.
Robbie:
I fell in love with Cassie Belmont when we were five years old. She was my first and I always thought she'd be my last. Then fate stepped in and ripped her away. Now she's back and I'm not going to let her go until I figure out what drove her away in the first place.

Cassie:
The only way to claim my big city future is by cutting ties with my small-town past. At least that's what I've been telling myself until I get caught between a rock of regret and the hard planes of Robbie Jordan's chest. I only need to survive until he fixes up my grandparents' house and I can cash out. But he's got a truck full of tools and has always known exactly how to use them. Not to mention the things that man can do with a hammer...

If you love steamy banter, small-town charm, and laughing so hard you spit out your sweet tea, snag your copy of Sweet Tea & Second Chances today and relax into Swallow Springs, Missouri.

Review

"Get a crush on Crush! She writes clever humor, heart and heat." ~ NYT bestselling author, Lori Wilde

"It has been a long time since I had a book which made me laugh so hard, I literally cried. Sweet Tea and Second Chances is truly a sweet-sexy romance." ~ Goodreads Reviewer

"Great characters with loads of chemistry, snappy dialogue, intriguing storyline with a few surprise twists, and awesome cover / title! I found myself really rooting for Robbie and Cassie's second chance to work out for them, and reading about Cassie's grandma's classic recipes made me hungry!" ~ Goodreads Reviewer

"I loved this book! Cassie and Robbie's story was so sweet. I love second chance romances and I love stories told from a first person dual POV and this book had both. I loved Dylann's writing style and I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future." ~ Net Galley Reviewer

Oh My Goodness Gracious!!! I was intrigued after reading the first sentence. This was my fist Dylann Crush book and what a stunning, remarkable romance between Cassie & Robbie...the sizzling passion; the angst while overcoming being deliberately sabotaged; a lifetime of beautiful, growing-up memories told in amazing, emotional flashbacks - OMG the scene of them at the church🔥; the interaction of the small town characters, the meshing & intermingling of their past lives with their present lives; and, of course, Romeo. Crush’s unique writing style has crafted a storyline with humor, passion and a HEA. The Perfect Romance!!! I will be buying the “hard copy” for my library!! More than 5 stars. PS: If I had one criticism it would be in how slow Cassie was in realizing/accepting her true heart.

Very enjoyable second chance romance with heat, humor and feels. Cassie comes back in town to sell her grandparents home, to fix it up she has to rely on the guy who broke her heart. Robbie can't believe Cassie's back in town, he'll flirt, charm do anything for a second chance, even if it's just for the summer. With two lives hundreds of miles apart can it be for anything more than the summer? Does love really go away?

SWEET TEA AND SECOND CHANCES is a standalone read with a HEA. The story is set in a small, out of the way town where not a lot is going on. Just small town stuff, a baseball team at the high school, one diner in town, two run down bars, etc. The story is about two young kids that grew up with each other over the summers. His dad was a hard-nose, mean Sheriff. He was a difficult man to live with and as he got older he just got meaner until life caught up with him. The only saving grace for Robbie was each summer when Cassie would come to visit her grandparents. They experienced young love in high school and they were each other's first. The fates were against them as misunderstandings separated them as they left for college.

Cassie's mom died when she was young and her father was devastated. His job kept him transferring around the country but every summer he would take Cassie and drop her off at his in-law's farm. For Cassie it was the only time she really lived. Then as she left for college she and Robbie separated. Each thought the other called it off. But when her grandparents had to be moved to assisted living and then passed, the farm was left to Cassie. Her years at college and a few years working in the public turned her from the small town to a big city girl. her dream is to own her on restaurant in Dallas. She has a business partner, a real jerk, that is counting on her selling the farm to get the money to buy in to a restaurant deal. First she has to get it up to code to be able to put it on the market.

Things have changed since the last time she was at the farm. Robbie has grown into a gorgeous man. He is still in love with Cassie but she has out grown him, so she thinks. The story takes them from first seeing each over after a 9 year period to getting beyond their anger at each other. It is an interesting, small town romance. I though Cassie was a little full of herself and didn't have a clue but that is just me. Robbie seemed like a great hero and I really liked him. He gave up part of his life to take care of a father that was not deserving of his kindness. Plus, I loved the kitten touch. He won me over with that. I really think he deserved better than Cassie.

I will admit that perhaps I am a bit too old for this age group. They seemed a little immature and silly to me. I have a real hard time with a person drinking themselves silly and then being regretful until they do it again. No way to solve a problem. But no matter. It was an interesting story line.

I was not paid for this review. i am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 10/6/2019

This book was so good. I couldn't wait to come back to Swallow Springs. Robbie and Cassie were childhood sweethearts. Nine years apart and lots of unanswered questions bring a lot of hurt. Robbie still has the hots for Cassie. However she isn't having any of it. All she wants to do is get her grandparents house fixed to sell then back to Dallas. Things take a little turn and all Robbie needs is the summer to convince her to stay. Least he thought that. I laughed a lot and was also frustrated. Well worth the read. Can't wait to read more from this author.

A sweet and spicy second chance at love! 4 1/2 hearts!

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019

When I saw this book advertised I knew that I had to pick it up. I love small town romances and add in a second chance...sold! Rob and Cassie were summertime childhood friends that eventually became sweethearts. Then the summer after Rob graduated everything went wrong. Neither understood how this could happen but they were both young, hurt and immature so they went their own way. Now it's 9 years later and Cassie has returned to sell her grandmother's farm. Rob has moved back to town and the moment he sees her he knows that they never should have ended. Cassie feels no need to visit the past. She has a life that she wants and is working on her future as a restaurant co-owner and chef. Rob is as stubborn as Cassie and once he sets his mind on getting them back together he's not backing down. Sweet Tea & Second Chances has it all. A great cast of supporting characters, secrets, a bit of angst, laughs and love. It's told from dual POV and I look forward to more adventures surrounding the Lovebird Cafe!

Growing up next door to your best friend can turn into many firsts… you know how it goes! But when fate or a meddling father wants you to have nothing to do with the girl next door 9 years pass and you wish you’d done things differently. Enjoy the heat of this one.
