Description
Two childhood besties, one secret crush, one troubled popstar—it just might be time to ruin the friendship
DEVON
I’ve been sweet on Charlie Beck since I was a gawky, awkward adolescent...then he became a member of one of the most popular boybands in history. Now he’s lost his mum, his singing voice, and his career. He thinks we can help each other because I’ve suffered a few losses myself. So, when he suggests I follow him to Malibu as his personal assistant, it’s a no brainer.
But between shirtless mornings, late-night confessions, and the way he suddenly can’t stop looking at me like I’m more than just the girl next door… this "strictly friends" setup is one skinny-dip away from disaster.
And Charlie isn’t the only one with baggage. I’ve got a secret—one that could turn this friends to lovers dream into a reunion nightmare.
CHARLIE
Devon’s been my ride or die since forever. She’s smart, hilarious, and—yeah, okay—insanely hot. But she's my best friend. You don't perv on your best friend… right?
Now my bestie is at a crossroads, thanks to her failed bakery, freeloading mum, and wanker of an ex. We're living together, working together, and I’m beginning to catch feelings that have nothing to do with funny jokes and friendship bracelets. The chemistry and temptation are unbearable, but the risk is sky high. Because Devon’s not just my best friend—she’s the only person left who sees the real me.
And if I screw this up, I’ll lose more than just my shot at a comeback… I’ll lose her.

Sweet on Charlie Beck by Carol Ericson is a charming, feel-good romance that wraps you up like your favorite cozy blanket and refuses to let go. From the very first chapter, it delivers warmth, heart, and just the right amount of swoon to keep you smiling the whole way through.

The chemistry between the leads is effortless and natural, building in a way that feels both authentic and deeply satisfying. Their interactions are filled with warmth, playful moments, and emotional depth that make their connection truly shine.
What makes this story stand out is its balance of sweetness and substance. Beneath the light, cozy tone, there’s real emotional growth and vulnerability that gives the romance weight. It’s not just about falling in love—it’s about trust, healing, and finding where you truly belong.
The pacing is smooth and engaging, allowing the relationship to develop at a believable and rewarding pace. Every moment feels intentional, building toward an ending that feels both heartwarming and well-earned.
Overall, Sweet on Charlie Beck is a delightful, uplifting read that delivers everything you want in a feel-good romance. It’s sweet without being overly sugary, emotional without being heavy, and completely satisfying from start to finish.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC.
I had no idea going it to this book that its a 2nd in the Five2Go series but I did not feel like I missed anything. It felt like it was a standalone so that made me happy. I also went in to it blind so had no idea what the story was about but I will say that I am so happy I did. This book was so much fun. Some spice but not so much that it was all I read.... fun, humor, banter, drama, friendship, love, boyband, sweet. I loved it all. I enjoyed reading Charlie and Devon's story. Such a sweet and fun quick easy read.
