Neither wants to admit their feelings for the other as they are afraid of losing their friendship by taking things to the next level romantically. Teagan finally decides to take the trip of a lifetime to study abroad, and when she finds a pros and cons list in the trash, she enlists Silas to help her find out who it belongs to. This adventure leads them down a path to either finally act on their feelings for each other or lose the chance forever.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I am not usually a fan of friends to lovers romance because there isn\u2019t much conflict in it, but this novella changed my mind. Teagan and Silas had a magnetic pull to each other, and I could feel the longing through the pages of this book from them both. I kept wishing that one of them would be brave and say something. Anything. Life is too short to deprive yourself of happiness and love. Then Silas finally made his move, and it was just what I wanted. This was a super cute novella. Not much angst. Just love, friendship, and happiness. It was just what I was needing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I think if you\u2019re a fan of authors like <strong>Mia Sosa<\/strong> and <strong>Ali Hazelwood<\/strong> then this novella would be right up your alley.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cj0JLz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3PkmGZ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-sweetest-connection-denise-williams\/1140313846?ean=9780593441091\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-sweetest-connection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Denise_Williams_The_Sweetest_Connection?id=NKhGEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teagan\u2019s job in an airport candy store pays the bills but she dreams of traveling the world.

One problem he can\u2019t solve is how to reveal a big secret to his best friend that\u00a0would risk changing\u00a0their entire relationship.

She\u2019s my best friend. Seeing her is the best thing about working here. I could listen to her stories for hours. I\u2019m in love with her. I think I always have been. Cons. If I lost her, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do. I\u2019d have to see her in the terminal all the time if it didn\u2019t work out.

Neither wants to admit their feelings for the other as they are afraid of losing their friendship by taking things to the next level romantically. Teagan finally decides to take the trip of a lifetime to study abroad, and when she finds a pros and cons list in the trash, she enlists Silas to help her find out who it belongs to. This adventure leads them down a path to either finally act on their feelings for each other or lose the chance forever.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I am not usually a fan of friends to lovers romance because there isn\u2019t much conflict in it, but this novella changed my mind. Teagan and Silas had a magnetic pull to each other, and I could feel the longing through the pages of this book from them both. I kept wishing that one of them would be brave and say something. Anything. Life is too short to deprive yourself of happiness and love. Then Silas finally made his move, and it was just what I wanted. This was a super cute novella. Not much angst. Just love, friendship, and happiness. It was just what I was needing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I think if you\u2019re a fan of authors like <strong>Mia Sosa<\/strong> and <strong>Ali Hazelwood<\/strong> then this novella would be right up your alley.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cj0JLz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3PkmGZ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-sweetest-connection-denise-williams\/1140313846?ean=9780593441091\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-sweetest-connection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Denise_Williams_The_Sweetest_Connection?id=NKhGEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28305"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29213,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28305\/revisions\/29213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
