“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.” – Victor Hugo
To truly experience love, one must embrace the virtue of patience. Honey finds herself ensnared in a web of pride, unable to see the beauty before her. Demarcus Rice is that beauty, a man with his own struggles, yet determined to make Honey feel cherished and needed. After losing the love of his life, Honey makes him see things he never sought to envision. Despite her stubbornness, Honey fails to recognize his genuine intentions the safety net his love offers. As her inner demon’s surface, Honey must discover the meaning of real love.
Jewell, I love Demarcus. I hope Honey will finally understand her worth. Watching Honey's best friend lose herself because of how she feels, I'm hoping everything goes better with all people. Honey will meet her aunt and maybe her self-esteem will finally get on top. I want to know Harmony's story. She needs too show Honey some grace. I'm waiting to see the outcome with all these folk🤗🤗🤗🤗
Please let part 3 be released in 2024 or have a recap at the beginning. I was familiar with the cover but not the story. I had to reread the last few pages of part 1 but even then I was still kind of lost.
61% into book two. TWO. And there's no growth nor progression on Honey's end, she still hasn't been honest with Demarcus about her situation, and he is still trying to cover for the sins of his childhood homies, seeing ghosts and shit. What is even the point at this point? I get that she's young but the author is going out of her way to portray that with depthless banter and constant immature choices. Yet, her inner monologue shows some level of maturity. When are we as readers going to see it in her actions? Also, the woe is me, insecure, can't accept help bit is soooo book 1. Can we see some type of self assuredness now. There's been nothing beyond her being "pretty"and naive, that makes me believe this man is in love with her.
You'd think with all that she's gone through, she would've developed some level of street smarts? Graduating high school with a 5.0 and no full ride college scholarship to get her out of her situation? And Demarcus as an MMC, knowing that SOMETHING is up with her situation, is weak AF. Constantly saying "I can't force this, I have to give her space, etc." Then why pursue her at all? Isn't this the plus in age gaps? The man is older, possessive, a provider, low key forcing it on her? Also, the timeline is jumpy and lacks detail. When did she graduate, besides buying clothes, what has she done appearance wise? So many details about her stained clothes, stretch marks, thick thighs, undone nails and toes then jumps to how he's sucking her pretty, pedicured toes. When did she go the nail salon? lol, All she's been doing is lying and crying. Ughhh. Her "glow up" is something I'd like to experience as a reader since it's a big part of her story. The story had so much potential.
This had the potential to be an amazing read despite the typos, but their was literally no growth. The two main characters are very likable but they contradict themselves at every turn. Dee wants Honey but he still loves his dead wife. Honey wants Dee but he’s just a friend. We’re two books in and he’s barely gotten to first base. The lovin ain’t tender, it’s non existent 🤧
The first book was great. I anticipated the second book to be just as good, but it feels like this was a fluff piece. The book did not go anywhere, no growth. Hopefully the third installment shows more. But I definitely suggest that you read it for yourself.
All the back and forth with honey putting herself down is taking away from the love demarco could give her. I know you have to make the story long but beating around the bush is boring
Great book but the way the books had been ending is annoying we get full details of everybody relationship but honey and Dee we didn’t need a mal and her ex…
