Sweet Tea and Sympathy by Molly Harper


Book Description....

"Beloved author Molly Harper launches a brand-new contemporary romance series, Southern Eclectic, with this story of a big-city party planner who finds true love in a small Georgia town.

Nestled on the shore of Lake Sackett, Georgia is the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop. (What, you have a problem with one-stop shopping?) Two McCready brothers started two separate businesses in the same building back in 1928, and now it’s become one big family affair. And true to form in small Southern towns, family business becomes everybody’s business.

Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not. As an elite event planner, Margot’s rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society, and made elegance and glamour her business. She’s riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. Now she’s blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start—and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation.

As Margot finds her footing in a town where everybody knows not only your name, but what you had for dinner last Saturday night and what you’ll wear to church on Sunday morning, she grudgingly has to admit that there are some things Lake Sackett does better than Chicago—including the dating prospects. Elementary school principal Kyle Archer is a fellow fish-out-of-water who volunteers to show Margot the picture-postcard side of Southern living. The two of them hit it off, but not everybody is happy to see an outsider snapping up one of the town's most eligible gentleman. Will Margot reel in her handsome fish, or will she have to release her latest catch?"

"Sweet Tea and Sympathy" by Molly Harper

My Thoughts.....

This was quite a interesting read with some really humorous scenes that will have you laughing out loud.  The memorable characters were all for the most part well developed, portrayed and believable that will definitely keep your attention.  What will happen when Margot's long lost family reaches out to her?  The story is about Margot Cary who was a elite event planner from Chicago but after being humiliated she leaves town and excepts a offers to working in the family business [a Bait and Mortuary business] in Lake Sackett, Georgia. It was quite a interesting read as Margot gets to know of her recovering alcoholic father that she never knew.   How will Margot do in this small town community especially after she meets Kyle [the lumberjack] who seem to have problems of his own?  Get ready for a  'fun, sweet and sexy story, family lost and found, heartbreak, mystery and some heartwarming moments.'   The characters for the most part were a complex group of individuals that could have their own story  that will definitely keep your interest as you read through this story of southern traditions.  So, if you on in for a read that deals with a 'journey of self discovery, forgiveness finding love' embracing who you are, and accepting change' then you have come to the right place for one interesting  first series.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
