See all formats and editions

Discover the magic of the Bradens, and fall in love with Addison Cole's rich and romantic storytelling. Addison Cole is the sweet-romance pen name of Wall Street Journal bestseller Melissa Foster, and Sweet with Heat novels are the sweet editions of Melissa's steamy contemporary love stories. Sweet with Heat novels convey 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 spicier romance, pick up the steamy edition of this story, Sea of Love (by Melissa Foster).

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.

**
Sweet with Heat novels contain the same stories with modified heat levels as Melissa Foster's Love in Bloom big-family steamy contemporary romance collection, and feature fiercely loyal heroes and smart, empowered women on their search for true love. They're flawed, funny, and easy to relate to. Characters from each series appear in future stories. All Addison Cole books may be read as stand-alone novels or as part of the larger series.

I loved reading about Lacy and Dane's story. I 'm so glad their storygot told by Addison. They deserved a sweet flirty book. You meet them in the book Sisters in White of the Snow Sister Trilogy. I'm glad to see their story became a crossover story from Melissa's Love in Bloom series.

Love vs Fear, which one will win in the end?

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2019

Following your heart has never been so challenging or, as scary, for both Lacy Snow and Dane Braden. Neither are out for finding love, but love certainly found them, and is challenging them both to look at themselves a littler deeper for what they really want in life. The only problem is, in order to get their happy ever after, they both must let go of their past , drop their fears and take on the unknown. Love vs Fear, which one will win in the end?

Lacy Snow has a fear of sharks, rightly so as she had been injured by one as a child. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she would fall for a handsome man that has a career with her very worst fear, but life it seems has it's own ideas. Lacy can't ignore how she feels for Dane, even though most of their relationship was via phone and flirty texts and a brief face to face. There is no denying the way he makes her feel, but his very career is working with sharks. Lacy knows she needs to figure out how to over come her fear, or she risks losing Dane but there's more pressing matters that unfold after they meet up a year later. It's not just her fear that risks putting distance between her and Dane , but Dane himself. His life was filled with emptiness when it came to relationships. Empty, meaningless arms of strangers here and there, but none that made him feel alive like Lacy did . He wanted nothing to do with strings, nothing that tied him down, and worst yet her true fear was sharks itself. Dane could easily go back to his life and career with what he loves best but for the last year of keeping the connection with Lacy and meeting up with her again, he wasn't so sure he could go back to the way things were. He made her happy, and seeing her happy made it all worth while- but there's just one major problem, and that's Lacy is the woman who deserves the full life commitment- and that's the very thing he runs from.

Will Fear take over the Love that ignites between Lacy and Dane? Or can they both overcome their fears together and jump into the unknown for their happiness together?

Another great book, loved they way Lacy and Dane came together and had to face their past not just alone but together. It shows how strong love can be when you're willing to open up even at your most vulnerable.

I loved The Art of Loving Lacy from the very start. If you have read the Weston Bradens series then you know a little about Dane already. If not then you are in for a treat and will absolutely fall in love with Dane and even more in love once you get to know Lacy more too. With Dane and Lacy timing just never seemed to line up. The chemistry has been there for the start and you feel the depth of their love from the very beginning. Lacy is strong and amazing. You get her reservation when it comes to Dane as you get to know her more. I love how Lacy and Dane take their time to develop their relationship but in the same time you just want to strangle Dane too for it. You must read this to find out what I mean. This a book of overcoming fears, taking chances and full of love and family. There is so much more I want to say when it comes to The Art of Loving Lacy but I'm going to stop here. I say that because you need to experience this one yourself and fall in love with Lacy and Dane. Go one click this one and if you haven't read this series yet then you must binge read it now.

Sweet with heat!

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019

I was given a copy of ‘The Art Of Loving Lacy’ in exchange for an honest review, and I honestly can’t get enough of the Braden’s! Each one of the Braden men are all swoon-worthy and Dane is no exception.

This is the fourth book in the ‘Sweet With Heat: Weston Braden series’. and it is just as good as the rest. You can read as a stand-alone or continue to immerse yourself in this family and fictional world by learning more about the characters you have come to adore.

Lacy and Dane have been exchanging flirtatious messages for the longest time, but eventually they are forced to meet when attending the wedding of Dane’s older brother Treat and his partner Max. Lacy feels all kinds of emotions, uncertain as to whether their relationship can blossom in person as much as it has over technology. But the moment she is before Dane she can’t deny those fluttering butterflies.

The chemistry between these characters is crazy, and I adore how sweet and consumed Dane is with Lacy. He is all about her and is the type of man you wish would swoop in and save you.

Dane is daring, he works as part of the BRAVE foundation tagging sharks for a living, and leads a busy lifestyle of travelling and always being on the go. Lacy is sweet and can be quite reserved, but she is relatable in her fears and you learn that she was caught in a freak shark attack when she was young, which has later heavily impacted her when it comes to being near the ocean.

Like the good old hero he is, Dane is determined to try and help Lacy overcome her fear in the hope of them having a real future together, but will he succeed?

The book is full of lots of sweet and adorable moments and I really adored Lacy as a character. You learn that Dane may be outwardly brave, but Lacy is certainly not to be underestimated. I love how she is willing to try despite her debilitating fear, she is powerful and very inspirational.

I love Addison Cole’s true-to-life writing style, her characters feel like family and I adore each and every one of them. She has the knack of writing addictive stories that you become immersed in and I fall more in love with the Braden’s with each book.

This is the perfect sweet summer read, ideal for holiday reading and any romance lover. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful, sweet read

Addison has done it again, yet another beautiful, sweet read that I could not put down.

Dane and Lacy meet at Danica and Kaylie's double wedding and a year of texting, FaceTiming and calls follow until they meet again and when they do, the attraction is electric. The only thing holding them back, is Lacys fear of sharks and Danes past love life. Just as they start to move forward, things start to unravel and they are forced to face everything head on and try and make it through the other side as one.

Addison tells yet another beautiful tale and makes it very easy to get involved in the tale and fall in love with the characters. Bring on the next book :)
