Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Sally Kilpatrick comes a country-fried take on Romeo and Juliet.

The second worst thing Romy Satterfield ever did was fall in love with Julian McElroy. The first was to marry him.

For decades, her family and his have been locked in a feud—their farms separated only by a narrow creek and thick band of bad blood with both sides committing their fair share of sins. Once upon a time, Romy and Julian thought they could change that—right up until the moment he stood her up on their wedding night.

When her father breaks his leg, Romy reluctantly returns to care for him and the family farm. Seems like the universe is saying it's time to get that divorce—especially since she's engaged to Nashville's most eligible bachelor. All she has to do is get Julian to sign the papers—too bad he's never been one to make things easy for her.

This was a fun read! The only thing I couldn’t figure out was the mentions of Genie’s hand-wringing and space between Genie and Ben toward the end. What was that about?......more

Goodreads review by Erin on October 22, 2015

For me there were few surprises in Bittersweet Creek. The tale that is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet moves languidly, with a predictable course. Having said that, this should not be a surprise considering potential readers were well informed of the plot and of the story of which is it modeled af......more
