Sweet Tooth by Helen Juliet
4.0

The old favourite fairytale of Hansel and Gretel gets brilliantly reimagined in this contemporary romance.
The two wonderful main characters, Hans and Chester, were childhood best friends who reconnect after many years apart. They would “double dare - super promise” each other and enjoy many adventures together. Their greatest adventure together, the road to a HEA, is low angst, sweet with heat and involves the novel use of candy canes and sweet treats.
An interesting cast of side characters add to the plot and the villain does get their comeuppance in the end. All these great characters are pulled together by the writing ability of Helen Juliet who has produced another easy, enjoyable and engaging retelling of a classic fairytale.
