Every time I get to read a new series, I'm excited to get to know new characters, a new setting and atmosphere. I'm a big fan of small town romances and Bittersweet will surely join the list of favourite towns. This is the first book in Aarons' new series, the Ashton Family, set in the fictional town of Hope Crest in Pennsylvania. Cassandra is a famous actress who returns home after her father's passing to sell the estate. She encounters Patrick, the city's poster boy and son to the beloved Ashton family. He, amongst the rest of the town, held a grudge against her late father and in turn against her for sharing a last name. When Patrick finds out that the property their families have been fighting over will be sold, he engages in a mission to charm Cassandra. Despite the longstanding family feud, there had always been a certain mutual attraction between the two protagonists. Cassandra finds herself back in Hope Crest, happy to escape her normal life but also contemplating her future. Patrick, on the other hand, is a serial monogamist who had been engaged twice, yet had never truly felt that spark with anyone. They easily fall into a steady relationship that will keep you reading, holds a suspense element to the story as well. This setting is so well thought-through that it puts the book among Aarons' best works. I love her general attention to the characters and how well-rounded they're written. I've never had a big issue sympathising with them, and that also goes for Cassandra and Patrick. Bittersweet was a pleasure to read, as I've read so many books in the past where the characters failed to simply communicate. This one was chef's kiss. 4,5/5 [I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
