Description

For Drew Honey, senior year was supposed to be a straightforward final stretch—keep her head down, finish her degree, and launch into her future. That plan disintegrated the moment Adrian Jackson entered her life. What began as a comfortable collegiate living situation quickly spiraled into a magnetic, undeniable connection that neither could walk away from. But timing is a cruel mistress, and just as they found their footing, a crushing life circumstance forced them to move on, leaving their hearts tethered to the "what-ifs" of their youth. Five years later, fate orchestrates a serendipitous reunion in the humid heat of Baton Rouge. Adrian has returned to the city where she left a piece of her soul behind, never expecting to collide with Drew in the aisles of a store. That chance encounter ignites the embers of a love that never truly burned out. This isn’t just a simple homecoming; it is a raw, tender journey of rediscovery. As they navigate the lingering ghosts of past trauma and the anxieties of adulthood, Drew and Adrian must learn if their bond can survive a second chance. Sweet Like Honey is a poignant, soul-stirring exploration of healing, courage, and the kind of love that lingers long after it has been found.

Good, but missing something

The book was good, but I felt like it was missing something. It moved too fast in my opinion and I believe the book could've benefited from a build up especially to their first time being Intimate.

This Honey Is Spicyyyyy

4.5! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The title is Sweet Like Honey, but the things these two were doing was anything but sweet! 🥵 In true lesbian fashion, these two moved u-haul fast, but it made sense. They had history and had always been close. Their emotional bond laid the grounds for their eventual hookup years later and they fell right into each others’ grooves. 👀 If they weren’t crying, they were getting it innnn! Love the plus size rep and the masc rep. Though it had several poignant moments, it wasn’t too heavy. A quick (wish it were longer), fun, light, palate cleanser. 👀 Always a fun and super sweet read. But Ms. Alexander, (clears throat) I need a cold shower after this one!

Addicting!!’

Read in one sitting! I absolutely loved both of the main characters which usually I gravitate toward one more than another but that was the case here! Couldn’t put this down. It’s supposed to the be the first in a series and I can’t wait for the next book to be released!! Absolutely loved the story line! The past history made my heart so so happy and I could see my self rereading this gem multiple times!!
