“Delicious reading! Sasha Summers writes books brimming with warmth, humor, and the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.”—Cathy Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author

Can best friends become something even better?

Coming home to Honey, Texas, for her aunt’s wedding should be a joyful experience, but Rosemary Hill’s heart is low. She’s lost funding for her bee genomics project and has been betrayed by her trusted mentor. Reuniting with Everett, her best friend, helps take the sting out. Soon, Rosemary is helping Everett plan bee-friendly park events—and getting oddly jealous when he’s pursued by her high school nemesis.

Honey’s most eligible bachelor has a secret—he’s loved Rosemary for as long as he can remember. Everett always hesitated to risk their friendship by asking for more, but at last he’s ready. That is, until Rosemary is offered her dream job. What kind of best friend would ask her to give that up? Or perhaps the butterflies they’re both feeling mean something has changed—in the sweetest possible way…

Honey Be Mine

Honey be Mine by Sasha Summers
Book #3 of the Honey Acres series. Contemporary romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series as characters from the prior books are part of the family dynamics. Closed door.
Rosemary Hill returns home to Honey Hills Farm after losing her job because of funding. On top of her job, she is betrayed by her mentor when he uses all her bee genomics research and takes full credit for it himself. She’s supposed to be a genius but she didn’t see either thing happening. Being back home in Honey Acres is exactly what she needs to heal her abused trust.
Everett Taggert is the county parks and recreation director as well as covering for the exiting mayor. He barely has time for anything personal these days and yet, he’s on the front page of the local newspaper as the most eligible bachelor, making his life that much more difficult. As best friends with Rosemary, he’s glad she’s back in town. Though his heart is yearning for more, he commits himself, again and again, to the friend zone, knowing it’s what’s best.
Rosemary is immersed in town events and bee tending, writing a children’s book and reconnecting with family. Is that enough? Or should there be more?

Best friends troupe. Always a winner. They both want more but don’t want to lose what they have. They think they know what the other needs or wants, but do they?
I loved the family support around Rosemary. They are so happy to have her home. And of course, the children are precious. The scene at the convention when the niece proudly shares her copy of her aunt’s book is so darned cute. When the session is over and there is no mention of handing the book back to the child had me ready to email someone. 🤣
I won’t say more to spoil anything, but suffice it to say - awwww. HEA and family for the win.
🎧 the audiobook version is performed by a Courtney Pattersn who does the full series. The performance is wonderfully filled with turbulent emotions and childish joy. It’s a fantastic way to observe this series.
