My Review
I picked up How Sweet It Is with a touch of trepidation. You see, as I've read Robin Lee Hatcher's A Legacy Of Faith series I've come to love the Henning Family, especially Andrew, and I knew this was the final book. I knew I'd have to say goodbye to characters who have become friends. And I just didn't want to. But...I couldn't NOT read it either.
As with the previous books in the Legacy Of Faith series Robin Lee Hatcher presents a sweet romance combined with the reality of the messiness of family. The biggest mine fields often involve family. They can love us the best and hurt us the most. We also frequently have the biggest misconceptions about those closest to us.
As much as I enjoyed the romance between Holly and Jed, the slow journey to reconciliation between Jed and his brother, and the way Holly gives of herself to a group of young women, it was still the sections with Andrew that I most looked forward to. Across three books he's gone through tragedy and triumph from young manhood to retirement age. He has faced each struggle with love and a faith that is to be admired.
Needless to say, I did enjoy How Sweet It Is. It was just as wonderful, and bittersweet, as its predecessors. It is very much a book that you shouldn't miss...

When not writing, she enjoys being with her family, spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors, Bible art journaling, reading books that make her cry, watching romantic movies, and decorative planning. Robin makes her home on the outskirts of Boise, sharing it with a demanding Papillon dog and a persnickety tuxedo cat.
