Ain’t Sawyer Bennett precious? Well, her alter ego Juliette Poe surely is as she delivers one charming second chance love story in Ain’t He Precious? This novella was a sweet sticky molasses of love, family charm, second chances, and good old Southern hospitality.

It’s no secret that I am huge Sawyer Bennett fan and so when I found out that she was writing as Juliette Poe, I knew regardless of whatever genre it is that I had to read it. And let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, this book is a good one. If you like your romance sweet, sentimental, and emotional then this book is definitely for you. Who wouldn’t want to read a feel good second chance love story?

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Trixie Mancinkus gave up her chance to be a big time city lawyer and instead decided to move back home to Whynot, North Carolina to open up her small town practice. She loves her family and Southern roots so it was something she couldn’t bear to part with. While her career was something that she was deeply proud of, a part of her was missing.
Ryland Powers was the only man that Trixie loved. He was her everything but they had to go on their separate ways since they both wanted different things. He wanted to be a big city lawyer in Boston and Trixie wanted to be home with her family. So fast forward to eleven years later, Trixie needs Ryland to help her with a client and so she invites him to Whynot, North Carolina.
The feelings that Trixie and Ryland had for each other are still there. Eleven years couldn’t erase their feelings and love for each other but with Ryland living in Boston, will Trixie be able to leave her family, her hometown, and her practice behind in order to be Ryland? And will Ryland will be able to leave his city life for small town farm life?

Ain’t He Precious? was indeed precious. This book was a sugary goodness of sweet tea. Once you had a taste of this book, you can’t help but want more or in this case drink more of Juliette Poe’s swoonworthy Southern love story. Ryland and Trixie’s second chance at love made my heart burst with so much love. I absolutely adored this book because not only did Juliette Poe allowed readers to feel the growth of her characters but she allowed readers to fall in love with a precious love, bond, and connection. So if you are looking for a story where the love is sticky as molasses and the characters are charming as hell then I suggest you better be clicking Ain’t He Precious?
