Between Hellfire & Honey

By: Joanne Carney
Format: Physical ARC
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

“Come teach me how to be a cowboy, hellfire.”

Thoughts: Joanne does it again. Queen of whiplash + making my heart literally race. This book had so much to love- suspense of escaping a hitman- the swoony moments of a cowboy/western & slow burn. Trauma- so much trauma!! Forced proximity- Bodyguard but he’s a US Marshall. I adored every moment. Except maybe the one that made me nearly throw the book (yuck!) Looking forward to more from Joanne. ♡

Book Review
Between Hellfire And Honey By @joannecarneyauthor
Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh my gosh!?! Where To start?? This is my first book by Joanne Carney & I LOVED every single second of it! Every single character had depth, feeling and rawness! Grace, Alistair, and Spencer were seriously written perfectly! But you add in the side characters like Kit, Wren & Mason that made such a full cast of characters! Each so different and each so intriguing! The last few chapters were surprising! This one has a really good twist!!!

This book is for fans of romantic suspense, and I’m not going to lie, the poor FMC deals with a lot! She’s not a pushover, though. This is for those who love an older FMC (40) who keeps fighting and never gives up. The ones who crave a sloooow burn that ends with some yummy spice. This is part bodyguard romance, part revenge story, and it’s got mature adults fighting their feelings in the name of responsibility but ultimately accepting they’re gone for each other. Oh, and it’s third person omni, so you get lots of that internal struggle!

Such an addictive read! The romance was heartfelt and full of chemistry, but the crime and suspense elements were a huge plus and kept me hooked from start to finish. The perfect blend of romance, mystery, and tension made it impossible to put down. It’s been a hot minute since I finished a book this quick!

I cannot wait for book two!
