Sweet Tea

4.5 stars
A Hallmark story, nothing else needs to be said. In a situation that started with a fight over Sweet Tea! But the undertones are the impressive part of this story. The knowledge of food and southern culture is spot on.
Jack and Allie are successful professional people, but at a point where success is no longer the goal of happiness. This story is about their journeys to settle their souls.
Allie has just made partner in her New York law firm, but a fight over a sweet tea recipe has her returning to her roots in the south.
Jack is also an attorney in his family's prestigious practice, but gives that up to find his true love of cooking.
Their paths cross with her grandmother, the one and only Ada Dailey. Who calls Allie by the name Al-Tee-A. Tea wants to know why Jack spends so much time with her Granda, and heads home to Milford, GA to find out.
I would have loved to see a little more chemistry between Jack and Allie, but all in all, a great story rich in history and the appreciation of food. Eat before you read and have snacks handy because all the food references make you crave some southern cooking.
Thank you to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing; this is my voluntary review.
