“Hey, Mol”
“Hey, you.”
“You going to give up that lucky sweet kiss?”
“If that’s what you want.”
“It most definitely is.”

Molly Shakespeare has had quite the life at just twenty years old. It has been tragic for her, and now she wants to a new start. She leaves England to go to the University of Alabama. Adjusting to the american life is a bit of a struggle for her, but her new found friends are eager to take her under their wing and teach her how to experience life. Another thing that has Molly clueless is how much these people of Alabama love football. She just doesn't get it. When she meets the star quarterback, Rome Prince, she can't help but feel attracted to him. She just has no idea who exactly Rome Prince is or how he will impact her life.

“He’s not just a football player. He’s the bravest, most caring person I’ve ever met. He understands me like no one before. He’s my soul mate—he’s my everything.”

Molly Shakespeare was somewhat of an introvert. She enjoys reading and studying. She has been on her own for quite some time so she has become accustomed to her solitude. When she arrives in America she realizes that it will change for her. She makes friends very outgoing girls that thrust her into the sorority life. I liked that just because she seemed quiet on the outside she could defend herself when she needed to. She was intelligent, caring, and just overall very likable. The poor girl didn't stand a chance when it came to Rome Prince. Holy smokes was he hot! He was super alpha and it drove me nuts how much that melted me. I seriously loved the guy. He doesn't have the best of upbringings either, which is how Molly and him connected even deeper. They understood what it was like to feel alone. And because of their connection, they inevitably fall for each other.

"Home is with the other half of your soul, the person who shares your grief and helps you carry the burden of loss. Home is with the person who throughout it all never gives up on you and brings you eternal happiness. That, Molly dear, is your home sweet home."

This story was über sweet, just like it says in the name. I really enjoyed this one and loved the main characters. Despite it being really sweet it wasn't complete fluff, there were some sad parts that really pulled at my heart strings. There was also a bit of angst to keep things interesting. I could not believe how awful Rome was treated by his parents. I just loathed them. I was so glad he finally had someone that cared for him in Molly. Molly and Rome were so perfect for each other, they may have had their flaws, but that didn't affect how much I liked them. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because it was crazy cheesy and a tad bit predictable. However, I couldn't help but love either way. It was a great romantic read. Now, if only I can find a real life Rome Prince.
