Book: Raising Georgia by Rebecca Barber
Reviewed by Caitlin Loggins
Rating: 5/5
Raising Georgia was the perfect conclusion to the Sweet Dreams B&B series. It is such a sweet story and Georgia & Ryder are so cute together! And all of the little ways that Ryder takes care of Georgia thoughout the story are so sweet! 🥰
I absolutely LOVED all three Sweet Dreams B&B books but I'd have to say that Raising Georgia is my favorite book of the series. 🙂🩷
One of my favorite parts was when they had their date in the bed of Ryder's truck and when they went hiking together. I also loved the spicy scene when they were making breakfast together.
Another thing that I loved were the Easter eggs for Rebecca's Magnolia Ranch series that were scattered throughout the book.
There's also a bonus epilogue that's linked in the back of the eBook that takes place a couple of years down the road that is the perfect grand finale for the story.
These are just a few of my favorite quotes/lines from "Raising Georgia"
"I rolled over and hugged the pillow to my chest. Ryder. He was still as sexy as he’d been all those months ago. With the swagger and the southern drawl and the dimples. Oh my god, those dimples. I swear they were ninety percent responsible for me throwing caution to the wind and climbing in the back of his truck." {Chapter 4, Page 26}
"When he reached my car, he bent down and leaned on the window. The second I caught a whiff of his cologne, sandalwood and something else, my already hypersensitive hormones went into overdrive. “Hey there, darlin’,” he greeted, the drawl making me want to grab him by that shiny belt buckle and drag him back inside." {Chapter 18, Page 121}
“You ready?” Ryder asked, tugging his shirt off over his head one-handed in that effortless way that guys did that made smart girls stupid. With his abs on display, I was momentarily stunned. “Georgia?” “What? Yeah? What did you ask?” I replied, sounding ridiculous. I was blaming the very dangerous combination of pregnancy hormones and the sight of his sun-kissed biceps." {Chapter 20, Page 133}
"Ryder was one of the good ones, and somehow, he was mine. Now all I had to do was not fk it up, and I may just end up with the one thing I never thought was on the cards for me. I might just end up with my very own, bull-riding, boot-wearing, prince charming." {Chapter 28, Page 195}
This was one of my favorite reads of 2026 so far and while I'm sad to see the Sweet Dreams B&B series come to an end, I can't wait to read whatever Rebecca decides to write next!
