“I couldn’t think of a pain greater than wanting someone so completely, you felt it in every cell of your body, only to have that same desire go unfulfilled. Unrequited love really was a bitch. And she could go straight to hell for all I cared.”

Sweet Sunshine was an enjoyable read, from start to finish. Sweet Sunshine is told from dual points of view and follows the story of Chloe and Derrick. Chloe has worked hard to achieve her baking dreams and owns her own bakery, Sinful Sweets. When she’s not cooking up delicious sweets, she’s lusting over Derrick. However, her bad track record with men had kept her from acting on her thoughts….That is until one day. One day, Chloe finally gets up the nerve to act on her feelings for Derrick and ends up getting her heart broken in the process….Derrick is not the commitment time. Burned by his previous marriage, he’s sworn off any type of real relationships. He has his daughter and career to focus on, the last thing he needs to worry about is a woman wanting something more from him. All was going well, until Chloe. Chloe is different from what Derrick is used to and try as he might, Derrick can’t fight what’s growing between the two of them. Will Derrick take a chance on Chloe and see that some relationships are worth fighting for???

Sweet Sunshine is my first book by Jessica Prince and I have to tell you, it will not be my last. This book was well written and very entertaining. It pulls you in instantly and takes you on one heck of a roller-coaster ride. This book had just the right amount of drama, romance and angst. I fell in love with Derrick and Chloe almost instantly. I loved the push and pull that they had. I thought their chemistry was great and that they just fit. Yes, Derrick did frustrate me at times. There were quite a few times when I just wanted to shake him for some of the things that he said, but I get it. I totally get it. He was burned very badly in the past, and so his outlook on women and relationships was a bit skewed. But, I have to say, watching him fall, was one of the most enjoyable things ever because when Derrick falls for a woman, he falls hard!! And Chloe, I just adored her. She was amazing with Derricks daughter. She was so sweet and always treated her like she was something special, which was exactly what she needed in her life. And even though Derrick messed up with Chloe a few times, he was just what she was waiting for all of her life.

Sweet Sunshine is a sweet and enjoyable read. It will make you laugh. It will make you smile. It will frustrate you. It will make you swoon. Most of all, it will make you fall in love. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!
