Christmas in Honey Grove: The Braxton Brothers, Book 5

Braxton Brothers #5

by Anne-Marie Meyer, Liz Krane (Narrator)

It's Christmas time in Honey Grove, and the Braxton family is back.

Jenna is home for Christmas, and she's just trying to survive her mom's insistence that she get married, and her feelings for Dean that haven't really disappeared. Showing up with her new fling seems like the best way of avoiding both of them.

Dean can't seem to move on past Jenna. Even though all the people he knows and loves want to see him married, he can't help but hope that he and Jenna made a mistake. That perhaps, she feels the same way. He didn't expect her to show up with a guy on her arm. Both Jenna and Dean are determined to move on from the kiss that haunts them both. If they tried harder, maybe their hearts wouldn't hurt like they do. Christmas time is a magical time, but does it hold enough power to mend their broken hearts?

If you love quirky families and sigh-worthy kisses, you'll LOVE the last installment of the Braxton family, Christmas in Honey Grove.

I'm so torn...it's the end of the Braxton series. I have loved this family. Especially the momma! If you've read any of the books and loved the moms little meddling ways, you'll absolutely adore the epilogue of this one. And this final book wraps up the series nicely. I really enjoyed catching up with all the different family members. But I especially loved finally being able to read Jenna's story. *deep sigh*

Dean and Jenna have skirted their feelings for forever. No more. They will have to face them head on with the Braxton family inadvertently helping place them in situations where they can't avoid each other much longer.

Dean is a character that I loved from his first introduction in the series. He's a great guy and does much good. I was so happy to see him finally get his happily ever after. There are a few more bumps in the road for them but it's a sweet ride. I sighed and probably shed a couple tears for the pain these two have endured.

If you've been reading this series, I hope you enjoy this final book as much as I did. And for those of you who haven't read this series at all but are thinking about it, I highly recommend starting at the beginning. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you enjoy!

Content: Clean. Some mild innuendos. Some references to alcohol. Some kisses but nothing further.

I received a copy from the author. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Reading!!!

It was bittersweet reading this one since I knew it was the last. But all good things must come to an end. Jenna and Dean were very cute together. And I'm so glad that Sondra got to see all of her children find their HEAs!

A great finale to a great series. I have loved the Braxton family from the first book. This book doesn't disappoint. Dean and Jenna are so great together, but they are too busy listening to their heads instead of their hearts and making things a lot more difficult than they need to be. Add to that the usual Braxton craziness and you are in for quite a ride. Christmas is always fun and crazy with the Braxtons. It sounds like the next series will be just as crazy and fun.

[JK · Rating 2 out of 5]

Glad to be done with this series. This book (as with the previous books) so many cliche moments, too many J names to remember the other people's stories, a weak man who startles easily and is afraid of what others think, a family that has no boundaries, an overabundance of marriage and baby propaganda by an overbearing mother ("she means well" is not an acceptable excuse), and delusional logic (does anyone in real life actually push away perfectly good people because said person is "bad at relationships" and pushes the person they love away for their own good?).
I was so over this book that I could never get invested in the characters, and actually just got annoyed with all of them.

The final installment of the Braxton's

Jenna is the only girl and the youngest. Dean is best friends with Jackson and an adopted family member. Jenna's love life track record is bumpy at best. Dean has been in love with Jenna longer than even he realizes. The holidays seem to bring out the best in people. The final installment was as I had hoped, the best out of all 5. Enjoyed the final story. Rated G.

Just finished the last book in the Braxton Brothers series, Christmas in Honey Grove. Jenna and Dean were fantastic. I loved this series. I love following the happenings in a family and having the family make an appearance in each book; however, brief that appearance happens to be. This was a great series.

[Jessica Swarms · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jenna and Deans story makes my heart happy! I didn't know if we would make it to the happily ever after... it saddened me that this was the last book in this series. Definitely will be recommending to everyone.

Nice story. Didn't really care for the main characters and I felt bad for Trent. Why even put him in there and then just a quickly write him out.

Love the ending

I’m not great at writing reviews but I do love yours series as well as the red stiletto one the last two in this series were a bit short but the price reflected that

[Destiney Ellerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was disappointed and felt like Jenna and Dean didn't get enough of a story. This one fell a little flat for me but I still recommend the series.

I couldn’t find this in Goodreads, because the copy I have in my Kindle is called Christmas in Honey Grove. I finally just started checking them all and found it. But why 2 different titles? I haven’t read the other stories yet, but I will. I really liked this one, although I was getting aggravated with how Jenna’s family treated her, making such a big deal about all her boyfriends. I’m glad she and Dean finally admitted their feelings and worked things out.

Jenna

Christmas is a magical time with families. Chemistry between them is crazy passionate and fearing how their family react. Everyone is happy for them.

[Penny Leidecker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This final book in the Braxton Brothers series centers around their sister, Jenna. Dean is an honorary member of the Braxton family and he has a secret. What secret is that, you ask? Well, he’s in love with Jenna and she broke his heart. Jenna has her reasons and you will learn them, when you read this wonderful second chance story. I loved catching up with all the Braxton siblings and their spouses. Sondra goes all out for Christmas and has everything planned and isn’t afraid to tell her kids what she wants them to do. Grab your copy and see what happens in this wonderful Christmas read. I can’t wait to see what Sondra and Priscilla plan to get Priscilla’s kids married and give Priscilla some grandchildren.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute romance between Dean and Jenna. Dean is sort of adopted as a brother to the Braxton children but it doesn’t keep him from falling for the only sister of the bunch. But not being a blood relative it isn’t weird. But the family kind of had to accept changing feelings between the two. It is one thing that has held each other back from Pershing a relationship. Jenna fights her feelings for months fearing what would happen if things didn’t work out. So in a way it felt like a friends to lovers troupe. It was fun to see all the characters we have come to love throughout the series back together for Christmas. It allowed us to see struggles that they were having as well as the joy of their relationships.

Family is important

Jenna and Dean worry way too much about what the Braxton family wants and doesn’t want. I like that they finally decided to think for themselves. I liked all they did and went through to finally figure things out, including themselves. I do love a happy ending.

Great Series

This is the last book of this series. Dean and Jenna’s story. It just goes to show that the person you are meant to be with is sometimes is right beside you all along. This was a great series. I highly recommend this series

[Paula · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this series. Jenny loves Dean and Dean loves Jenny. So why aren’t they together? You got to read the book to find out. It is definitely worth it. Just enough angst and tension. One if the best endings. We also get to catch up with the Braxton brothers.

Review of Christmas in Honey Grove

This was a very good book and I will recommend her books to anyone who loves romance novels. She keeps you involved from page one until the end.

Finally!

I wanted to take rope and put Dean and Jenna in a room together, rope them back to back, and tell them to work together !
Great book! Lots of twists and turns!
