In The Art of Loving Lacy...
Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.
As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.
More than a year—and hundreds of flirty texts, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.
The Art of Loving Lacy is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy Love in Bloom edition, Sea of Love, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.
Also Available in Sweet Heat Series
Treat Braden wasn’t looking for love when Max Armstrong walked into his Nassau resort, but he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield to the sweet, sensual woman beneath. One magnificent evening together sparked an intense connection, and for the first time in his life Treat wanted more than a casual affair. But something caused Max to turn away, and now, after weeks of unanswered phone calls and longing for the one woman he cannot have, Treat is going back to his family’s ranch to try to finally move on.
A chance encounter brings Treat and Max together again, and it turns into a night of intense passion and honesty. When Max reveals her secret, painful past, Treat vows to do everything within his power to win Max’s heart forever—including helping her finally face her demons head-on.

The Art of Loving Lacy is Fourth in the Weston Bradens Series by Addison Cole. It can be read as a stand-alone, and is considered to be a ‘Sweet with Heat’ romance.
The story is about Lacy Snow and Dane Braden. Dane is a shark tagger, and Lacy had a bad experience with a shark when she was a young girl. The two had met a year prior to the time that the story takes place. Although, it was a brief meeting, it had a definite impact on them both, and they kept in contact via Skype on a regular basis. It was at a wedding reception a year later, that they had an opportunity to see each other in person again.
I enjoyed how the author kept us guessing as to the outcome of these two that seemed quite inseparable. Is it possible to have developed such deep feelings for each other after only knowing for a short period of time? What about the aspect of Dane’s job and Lacy’s tremendous fear of sharks. Will they be able to build a life together, or will this just be a fleeting moment for them?
It should also be noted that ‘Sweet With Heat’ is not the same as Clean and Wholesome. There is plenty of sex in this story. The difference is how it is presented. It’s not graphic by any means, but as the ‘sweet with heat’ implies, there is definite heat between the characters. Just the right amount that lets the reader know what is going on, yet the reader is able to use their imagination for the details.
I received an Advance Readers Copy of this book, and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
