Mistake #1: Thinking I could be ‘just friends’ with Dr. Heartbreak.
Mistake #2: Believing I could let him swipe my V-Card without catching feelings.
But giving him my heart would be my biggest mistake of all.

I have no business getting involved with Felix Brighton.
I’ve seen the way he moves through our small town.
With his playful smiles, his hypnotic eyes and his easygoing charm, women are all over him with every step he takes.

Meanwhile, I’m just sweet, quiet Daphne Beaumont…
Just his younger sister’s best friend…
Just the girl he’s barely ever noticed…

Until I somehow end up in more trouble than I can handle.
And Felix makes it his duty to swoop in and save the day.

He should be focused on taking over his father’s medical practice. But all he seems to do is focus on me.
I should be busy preparing for the grand opening of my vintage clothing shop. But all I seem to think about is when I’ll run into him again.

Because I’ve noticed the way he’s been looking at me lately.
Now, I’m curious for a little taste.

But that one itty, bitty kiss explodes into a five-alarm fire that lands us both in loads of smokin’ hot trouble.
That’s how we end up fake-engaged and scrambling to save his dad's medical center. That’s how we end up sleeping under the same roof.

Welp. We might as well make the most of a bad situation, right?
And what could be more fun than one toe-curling, cherry-popping, V-Card swiping night in Felix’s bed?

Of course we can handle it. We’re ‘just friends’, after all.
Plus, I have a list of strict rules to make sure I don’t fall in love.

Except, Felix starts falling for me. Hard and fast.
And with every hot touch and every sweet kiss, he’s dragging me right along with him.

I won’t give him my heart, though.
I mean—I call him ‘Dr. Heartbreak’ for a reason.
Too bad he’s already got my heart in his back pocket. And it’s already shattered in two.

Sweet Thing is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, best friend’s brother romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is part of The Brighton Family Series.

    Sweet thing is book two in the series i just posted about so let talk about it. Daphne was Felix best friend brother little sister like they grew up together so they know of each other so when they got older and she want him to take her V-card after everything that she had been though not going to give out any type of spoiler here so let move on so when she bought this up to him he honestly though it was it a joke there was not where she was a virgin like cause was smoked hot he thought boy he was wrong nobody want to be with her because she was out spoked and stood up for herself when people brought her down and it happen a lot when she was growing up but she knew that he was a player and she did not care one bit she still had that childhood crush on him but as I was reading this book he also had a crush on her but he did not want to mess up his friendship with her brother and I agree with that statement for this book. So fast forward their secret started hooking up and I was saying in my head about the time they did the deed because of course I was at work when I was reading this book and I was not going to yell out loud. But I’m glad they came clean and got together at the end of the book forever. If you have not read this series by Cassie i would highly recommend you reading this series.

    Dr Heartbreak meets his sweet match

    I’ve really enjoyed all of the books in this Brighton Family series by Cassie-Ann L Miller. For the most part they’re light and fun to read.

    I know from my own experience that being struck by love out of the blue can really happen. Poor Felix didn’t know what hit him when he saw Daphne at just the perfect moment in the perfect alignment of the stars .

    It’s such a sweet story and I love that that he fell first. And I love that Daphne finds her way, too.

    Highly recommend!

    Sweet and sexy!

    I just started reading romance novels. As someone who typically reads a lot of literary fiction, historical fiction, cozy mysteries, and sometimes fantasy, I came into the romance genre with a healthy amount of skepticism. I wanted something lighter and sexier than my more robust reads, but a lady still has standards that need to be met, you know?

    Sweet Thing impressed me. It met my need for passion, spice, and a happy ending.. while ALSO meeting my need for a great story with great imagery and fun characters. I can’t say that about the first several romance novels that I read. Most of them met my need for 🔥 spice 🔥 but left me feeling incomplete in regards to the story. So, I was very pleasantly surprised by Sweet Thing!

    The chemistry and tension between Daphne and Felix was EVERYTHING, yall. I had some pretty fun dreams while reading this. There was enough suspense to keep me turning the page without making me so anxious that I felt the need to skip ahead or put it down. It made me smile, sigh, and laugh out loud at various points. Honestly, it almost had me wanting to move to a small town and open my own boutique lol.

    I’m still figuring out where this whole romance thing fits into my bookshelves..but I think this book just sold me on the genre in general. It was perfectly balanced across the board and I can’t wait to read more!

    Sweet, sexy, and oh so funny!

    I am truly enjoying the Brighton family! This story has so much more than a “small town best friend’s brother romance”, though! The interior monologues of both Daphne and Felix feel so true. The interplay between the families and friends is so heartfelt, ridiculous, and, wonderful. The sexy scenes have steam rising off the pages (or screen)! And I laughed out loud so many times throughout this book! There’s also a real character growth, some for Daphne as she grows into her own, but even more for Felix, as he slowly recognizes, and eventually acknowledges the changes in himself and his life, since she literally bumped into him on the sidewalk. Many romances’ male POV feel like the author has written what they expect their female readers want the man to be like. Miller really lets Felix‘s voice shine throughout. I definitely recommend this book and the whole series!

  • Christina Rybka

    Felix is looking at his phone when Daphne slams into him and her coffee goes all over him. They are attracted to each other, but Daphne is best friends with his sister Karli. They become friends, and in a twist end up fake engaged. They both start to feel more and Daphne is fighting it because he’s Dr. Heartbreak. Can they be together? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing book. I love Felix and Daphne and the character development is amazing. Great supporting characters. This book has sarcasm, slight angst, and the spice is awesome. Go grab it now

  • Brenda Motza

    All the stars!!

    I just loved Felix and Daphne. And now, Cassie is going to have to buy me a new Kindle. There was so much sexual tension between these two that my Kindle was about to combust. Good Lord!

    Daphne's parents are something else. New money snooty and think that their female children need to marry rich and never work. Felix, the hot delicious town doctor and brother of Daphne's friend Karli gets fake engaged to Daphne to help Felix keep the family clinic when the Brighton patriarch decides to retire. What could go wrong? Or right?

    What a fantastic read!

  • Melinda

    Finally! I’ve been waiting for this story, and it did not disappoint! These characters are so compelling and authentic in the emotion, and the chemistry between Felix and Daphne sizzles right off the page!! Sweet Thing is sister best friend romance perfection! Beautifully told, all the feels, and completely and utterly consuming. THIS is what romance is all about and this is why Ms Miller is the pinnacle of dreamy, laughing out loud, and swoony romance. Definitely pick this one up. Happy reading

  • Amanda Hostetler

    Love love loved it!!! Daphne and Felix are so cute!!! Daphne was under her parent’s thumbs for too long. She finally fights her way to be independent and open her own boutique, she then finds out her parents have arranged for her to be engaged to a disgusting man. After she bumps into Doctor Felix 🤤, it’s brought to her attention that she doesn’t want to marry Edison. She ends up fake engaged to Dr. Handsome to help him save his medical practice from his father selling it. Gah this is such a sweet story, I love this series!

  • Suez

    Daphne and Felix's story is fun and heartfelt all at once. Running into Felix is a defining moment in their lives. With him in her corner, Daphne emerges as a brave, confident woman, but Felix can't be the wonderful, supportive, caring man she wants; no, they're just friends. Right? Enjoy their story, I did. This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

  • Heather Lingo

    I read both books in this series, and the stories were just okay in my opinion. I like steamy romances, but there was too much of it and over usage of the F bomb, so probably a 2.5 for me. Also the author needs to research her location better. I grew up in Iowa, and there are no mountains or ranches. Maybe the author was confusing Iowa with Idaho? Annoying...

  • Stephanie Dunne

    Another Sweet Thing

    Once again I have truly enjoyed reading Cassie Miller book. This is the second book in the series and I can’t wait to read another. There is just something about her characters that I like and the story flows so smoothly. Not to mention the spice throughout. Ready for another!

  • NanaX8

    OMG…what a LOL, steamy, emotional explosion in more ways than you can count. Filled with so many feels and watching Daphne run Felix thru those emotions is a delight. And watching her stand up and putting boundaries for her parents was a delight. Loved it!!!

  • Gladys

    I thought that this book was amazing! Daphne and Felix gave me all the feels, melted my heart, had me swooning and made me smile so much my face hurt. A totally terrific read you do not want to miss out on.

  • Kat

    I was nervous about the whole virgin thing, but I was pleasantly surprised. There didn’t seem to be that huge of a difference in maturity, which was a huge relief. I thought this was super cute and adorable. Felix is a top contender for book boyfriend of the year.

  • Becca Stanfield Vernon

    Such a fun read! These two are sweet, yet so much more than I expected. Daphne is strong, and is trying to become independent. When she lets Felix in he becomes her friend, but so much more. Entertaining throughout, but still seems like some areas drag.
    I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

  • Kim Gauger

    loved big time

    I have never met a lead female that was so much me in her feeling like her. One of the quotes she said to Felix when they talked is something I have always thought. This book resonated with me so hard which is why it get five stars. I loved it

  • T'Odes

    The annoying part is that it's a full length book - ain't nobody got time for this shit!

  • Alice

    Love the story

  • RoseyLovesBooks

    Daphne and Felix's story was so much fun to read. Sweet Thing is a rom com full of heat, heart and humor that you can happily get lost in.
