Spicy Honey
Sloane Reed's not looking for love. But after a few years of guest starring in other people’s fantasies, being a ‘unicorn’ no longer feels like enough.
Freddie Lane is drawn to Sloane the moment he clocks her at the bar at Salt. He's just got one small problem: the woman of his dreams only wants him if he comes as a package deal.
Cole Avery has wanted his best friend for longer than he'd like to admit. He's made his peace with it. For the most part.
When the three of them agree to give dating a go, old feelings re-ignite - and as they both fall for Sloane, Freddie finds himself drawn to Cole in ways he'd never imagined. One reckless dare and a very slippery first date later, the three of them are navigating a romance none of them saw coming.
But with Sloane's fear of commitment, Cole's buried feelings, and Freddie's world quietly turning upside down - can three people who never planned to fall in love make it work?
Spicy Honey is a contemporary poly MMF romance with Juno Rose North's signature blend of heart, heat, and a happily ever after.

✨ARC Book Review✨
This book was a why choose with so many fun relationship dynamics.
Sloane is sexy and fearless. She has no problem saying exactly what she wants with intimacy. Freddie and Cole are best friends who go to a hook up club where they meet Sloane… and sis made an impression! She made it very clear she wants BOTH! (Literally not mad at it)
It was so fun watching them try to impress her and convince her they can get on her level. The relationship between Freddie and Cole was also wild because Cole has a thing for Freddie. Their dynamic was sooo hot!
The tension, chemistry, and everything from public Os to sexy little glasses! Spicy Honey is such a fun read!

5🌟, 3.5🌶️
I went into this expecting a fun read, but it ended up becoming one of my favorite why-choose romances.
I’ve already read it twice, and it somehow hit even harder the second time. Watching Sloane move beyond being someone’s temporary option and find a love that was truly hers felt incredibly satisfying. The chemistry between Sloane, Freddie, and Cole was undeniable, balancing sweet, intense, and heartfelt moments perfectly.
What surprised me most was the emotional depth. Beneath the steam was a story about vulnerability, growth, and three people learning how to fully choose each other. The polyamorous relationship felt authentic and earned, and I especially loved seeing Freddie and Cole navigate their feelings for both Sloane and each other. Combined with the cozy setting and supportive side characters, the story felt warm, grounded, and full of heart.
This book struck the perfect balance between funny, tender, and seriously addictive. I loved watching Sloane find a relationship that respected her boundaries and gave her the love she deserved.
Messy, emotional, and deeply romantic, this is the kind of story that leaves you with the biggest smile at the end!

Number 1 how am I jealous of a fictional character
Number 2 this book had absolutely no business being this Hot
Number 3 Cole had no business being so hot, he was Daddy and that’s all I’m saying. Every time that man opened his mouth I was panting and audible screaming at what he was gonna say next when he was in scene, his other ego 😮💨let’s jus say I’m obsessed with this man and that is all I can say.
Freddie 😍my typical ballsy man I love the growth from where he started to how he changed as a man and omg he got hotter 🤣. The spice in this book made me feral and want more as I continued to read. I was actually unhappy when it ended as I stared at a wall at 3am contemplating what plot could be made so I could have another book of this amazing trio. I would settle for just a novella because this book was that good. When I saw why choose bi awakening I obviously was like let me just read this book and it didn’t disappoint I loved how confident Sloane was in her decision to not engage in a typical monogamous relationship but also made sure communication was at the forefront. No one was strung along, in scenes at the spicy club, communication, boundaries and safe words was spoken about before anything happened and that made the spice in the book so much better. I loved how each character had their chance to show their vunerable side as they fight their inner demons more on society standards. I could write a whole book review about this book because it was so good but I think you should experience it for yourself. I leave this last note I suggest you read book one salt & sweet to truly appreciate this book and you see sloane and meet her character to understand why she is the way she is. All I’m gonna say is where is this spicy club because I need to sign myself up

Spicy Honey was such a fun book to read. I don’t remember the last time I read a book and smiled almost throughout the whole thing. I loved how confident and forward Sloane is with what she wants and needs. A lot of the times FMCs are portrayed as lost little lambs in need of saving but Sloane is absolutely not that. She is assertive and she draws you (and the guys) in. Freddie is such a sweetheart makes you wish you could meet a Freddie in real life! And Cole is an amazingly complex character who is selfless and so giving.
To be honest I haven’t always been a huge fan of Why Choose romance involving MM. However, after reading Spicy Honey I realise that I was just not reading the right ones! Cole and Freddie’s storyline isn’t about 2 guys that suddenly realised they were attracted to each other. It’s a deeper love story that is as intense and genuine as the one with the FMC.
Spicy honey has the perfect title. Such a sweet and lovely story but it doesn’t shy away from the spice meter and it doesn’t leave you hanging with the steamy scenes.
Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for Why Choose fans and romance readers alike.

This was my first time reading a poly romance and I was expecting drama and jealousy, but this was such a fun, heartwarming read!
There’s lots of very well written spice, but I also enjoyed how all three characters had their own emotional journeys as well. I really bought into the love story and it was refreshing how open and mature they all were.
For me this series is getting better and better, and I can’t wait for Jessie’s story next 😍

This trio has my heart. Lovely to read them coming together & finding their dynamic. I really enjoyed the bi awakening component. It was just a wholesome throuple falling in love peppered with very fun spice.

To quote Freddie, “Green. So much f*cking green.” Juno North has done it again! Her story telling feels effortless and is so easy to read. This book was the perfect sequel to Salt & Sweet. I again got lost in her characters and forgot what time it was every time I picked this book up. Sloane, Freddie, and Cole were all the perfect combinations of everything you want in a why choose story. I can’t recommend this sequel enough. I cannot wait for Jessie’s story next!

I have so so many feelings and thoughts about this book, and I'm sure I'll edit this review and add more. I was a little worried that this one might fall short for me because I loved Salt & Sweet so very much. This has topped it though. More spice, and I do mean SPICE. This book has some definite heat to it, and I loved every single second of it.
I loved all of the characters in this book. I love Sloane, I see some of her in myself (I'm sure a lot of us do) and I really enjoyed the way she learned to accept and let herself relax into who she is. To pull down those walls and let Freddie and Cole in. The friends and family support for her, the patience and care from both Freddie and Cole. It all made me switch back between loved-up-and-mushy and ohmygod-open-the-window-its-too-damn-hot-in-here.
I love how all three of them compliment each others quirks and personalities, and even caught myself thinking this has some definite Pucking Around vibes, and then this pops up..
"What book?"
"Oh, it's like the textbook for polyamory. I saw it on TikTok."
"There's a textbook?"
"It's called Pucking Around."
"Pucking Around? You're getting your polyamory advice from hockey smut?"
"Oh, you know it? It's fucking hot. I'd recommend it, actually. Not sure why more men aren't reading romance books - it's given me loads of ideas." He waggles his eyebrows suggestively and grins.
I did definitely squeal and kick my feet.
I loved watching the way Cole and Freddie felt out their feelings for each other. It was beautiful to see Freddie be so brave and ask for more. I can't say I blame him though, a Daddy with slutty glasses is IMPOSSIBLE to resist.
I can't even pick a favourite character in this book because I love them all so so much.
Except for Sloanes' pig of a father - he can go sit on a cactus. Oh, and while we're talking about side characters - Freddie's beautiful Mum, Carol. I so wish I had a Mum like her. She is unflinchingly accepting and loving of everyone and it is so beautiful to see such a supportive mother figure. It makes total sense why Freddie is the bold, beautiful man he is.
Juno has again written an absolutely amazing book. One that I can definitely see myself re-reading again and again.
We get a bit more of Luke and Emmy in this one, which links us nicely to the first book, and seeing more from Jessie was awesome - I can't wait to see what surprises Juno has for us with Jessie's book. I feel like we're going to be in deep with the next one.
I was lucky enough to get an arc copy of this book, and I'm so bloody glad that I did. (I'll be buying it anyway, don't worry)
Juno - if you see this review, THANK YOU for writing another amazing book, your success is so very well deserved, and thank you for bringing to life such beautiful characters - its such a bummer they're not real people.

ARC read - 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
This was beautiful!
The first polyamorous book I’ve read & I found it so beautiful. The love between these 3 is just wonderful. The character development was so lovely to see & I really feel like I learnt so much about a world I’ve no knowledge or experience of.
Sloane is as wonderful as you think she’d be after reading book 1.
Freddie is just so bloody lovable & kind & full of love to give.
Cole, the caretaker & daddy. I think i loved him the most. The way he quietly loved Freddie for so so long!
4.5 ⭐️ 3.5 🌶️
Will have you laughing crying & blushing sometimes all at once.
Lovely read & I CAN NOT wait for book number 3
Thank you so much for selecting me to read an ARC copy 🫶🏼
Favorite quotes:
‘Love comes in all shapes & sizes & sexuality is a spectrum.’
‘I will always love you, no matter what. I don’t mind if you come home with a whole harem. Anyone you care about will have a place in my life. You just have to tell me how many Yorkshires I’m making.’
‘Freddie might have fallen first, but I am jumping in right after him.’

Absolutely f***ing excellent! What a triumph. Sloane was beloved by all following Salt & Sweet and with a character like that there’s a risk of doing their story an injustice. Well, that has not happened here, I’ve somehow enjoyed Spicy Honey even more!! North teaches those of us unfamiliar with certain aspects gently and maturely, same as she did with book 1. The scenes where they visited Brighton were definitely my favourite. I loved both the boys but Daddy Cole has my heart! Thanks for the ARC Juno - what a second novel this is
Review of advance copy received from Author
I was lucky enough to recieve an ARC copy of Spicy Honey and I had a great time! Such a fun and heartwarming story topped off with a good helping of spice!
Meet Sloane the black cat FMC who has realised that being a unicorn is not all as sparkly as it seems. Freddie Lane, happy, go lucky with his golden retriever vibes and my favourite, Mr Slutty Little Glasses himself (and his delicious mouth), Cole.
This book will you laughing, gasping and shimmy those shoulders in delight!

ARC - SPICY HONEY 🌶️ 🍯
I finish this masterpiece yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it. After reading the first book in The Salt Collection “Salt & Sweet” I was so curious about Sloan and I must say: Juni Rose North delivered with the second book! Getting addicted to Sloan, Freddie and Cole was so easy. I ate this book up and loved it even more than the first book. The dynamic between the 3 of them was amazing. This was the first book I’ve ever read that was a MMF romance and I was so surprised that I liked it sooo much.
My rating: 5 stars ✨ 3,5/5 🌶️

Read this if you love…spicy and sweet books. FMM relationship. Sex club. ADHD rep. Three point of view chapters. Talented painter.
Juno’s writing is so addictive and once I’d opened this book I didn’t want to put it down.
After ARC reading Salt and Sweet I’ve been a huge fan of them! It’s romance genre but with a twist. I loved the mental health representation in Salt and Sweet and the characters we got to know. Loooove that we got a character appearance or two that we already know in this book 👀
In Spicy honey we follow Sloane’s story who is Emmy’s roommate. We get an orgasm in the first five minutes after we meet both Freddie and Cole. They still don’t know her name yet and Freddie is determined to do everything he can to get her to tell him it. I loved that we had each main characters pov in chapters. It meant we got to know them individually as well as a trio. Spicy, wholesome and so sweet.
Shout out to Freddie’s mum because she’s the best 🥹
I can’t wait for Jessie’s story! She intrigues so much and deserves a huge love story
“It’s chapter one, Cole. Of what I hope is going to be a wild and unforgettable story.”

Wow! I didn’t think this was going to beat book 1, but wow Juno!! Girlll, you smashed this out of the park!
I went into this book not knowing if I would like the relationship dynamic of Sloane, Cole & Freddie; but I absolutely loved it! I loved learning new terminology about their relationship!
I also like the fact that we see people accept them for their relationship, Carole is just a diamond! I was not expecting Harry to react how he did either!!
There is a lot of spice in this book, which is described amazingly, and thoughtfully!
Overall, 5/5, would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a spicy romance!
Would like to say a massive thank you to Juno for letting me be an ARC reader again! 🫶🏻

I absolutely loved this book!
It had the perfect amount of spice and incredible chemistry between the characters.
After reading the first book in the series and being introduced to Sloane, I knew she needed her own story.
The relationship between Sloane, Freddie, and Cole was beautifully written. It was wonderful to watch Sloane’s walls gradually come down and to see the growth each character experienced throughout the story.
I particularly enjoyed Freddie’s journey as he comes to terms with his growing feelings for Cole. His development felt authentic and emotionally engaging.
This is a lovely story of acceptance, self-discovery, and awakening, told with heart and sensitivity.
I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to read this as an ARC, and I’ll definitely be purchasing a physical copy to sit alongside the first book on my shelf.
I can’t wait to see what Juno writes next!

What a follow up to Salt & Sweet! This book was just fun. I had a great time reading it. Not going to lie, the scene where Cole winks at Freddy from behind Sloane (iykyk) is playing on repeat in my head!
This book is spicy yes, and it should be given its title, but it is so much more than that. Juno has a way of capturing the unique insecurities and tribulations of being a modern woman. She nailed it with Emmy in the first book and again this time with Sloane. What I was not expecting was how well she captured Freddy and Cole, without one chracter taking over the story too much. I did not know I was going to enjoy the throuple dynamic as much as I did. I found myself laughing and cheering for them. Her writing is engaging and she discusses hot topics and controversies without being heavy handed. You will become invested in these characters and the universe so I suggest you read book one, but you can read this as a stand-alone (but why miss out on Daddy Dom, Luke?) I cannot wait for the next book in this series, but Iwould read anything Juno puts out.

Cute, heartwarming and relatable! (spoilers ahead)
(spoilers ahead!)
Freddie's ADHD-ness is so real 😭 absolutely on point, it was like reading about myself from the hyper fixation to the timekeeping issues.
I loooove the modern pop culture references - Pedro pascal's daddy mindset, she's in her princess era, slutty little glasses a la Jonathan Bailey...
Sloane's self confidence crisis is so relatable. The relationship that forms is just so heartwarming. No third act breakup, and lots of spice!

When I say this book had me giggling on a train I mean it!!
I was lucky to get an ARC for the book and I simply loved it. This is definitely one of my top reads for this year.
This is the 2nd book is the Salt Collection. This can be read as a standalone.
Sloane is tried of being the unicorn to couples’ fantasy and is just done with the hookup scene. When at Salt catching up with friends in walks in Freddie. After having a disappointing date she is not in the mood to be hit on but Freddie just doesn’t know when to quiet.
Freddie sees Sloane from across the room as is lost on her at first sight. But he is here with his best friend Cole and doesn’t want to just leave him hanging.
Cole sees the reaction that Freddie has for Sloane and knows this is going to be interesting. When Freddie please to see if Cole can get Sloane to have a drink with them he caved and see what he can do.
Sloane has been eyeing the two of them from where she is and when Cole walks up she is taken back. What is the worst that can happen?
This was emotionally as well as super hot and I can’t wait to see more of all the characters is this series. This author is now on my auto buy list!!

This was emotionally as well as super hot and I can’t wait to see more of all the characters is this series. This author is now on my auto buy list!!

I love this book so much! I knew from the first book that Sloane’s story would be super hot, and this exceeded my expectations! The dynamic between Sloane, Freddie and Cole is so authentic and joyful, and the spice is 🥵
Cannot wait for Jessie’s book!

Perfect hot honey
Juno has done it again a perfect book focusing on love and respect with the perfect amount of spice. Sloane's journey to accept herself fully is so relatable

Arc review
While reading Salt & Sweet, I fell in love with Sloane's character and was eager to read her story. This book is so good! I love Freddie's golden retriever energy. He's sweet and the perfect partner. Cole is quiet and caring. His friendship with Freddie is everything.
The three of them are perfect for each other, and it was amazing to watch their relationship develop.
I can’t wait to read the next book!
You need to read this one!

I could not be more obsessed with this book and this series more!! I absolutely devoured these two books and thought they were so well done and still had plenty of plot right along all the smut!! Can’t wait for what’s to come in this series in the future!!

***ARC received from author in exchange for my honest review***
Simply sublime! I knew following on from Salt&Sweet that this was going to be good. I was not disappointed!!
A fantastic MMF Poly Romance with very likeable and relatable characters, great spice, banter and tenderness.
Sloane (FMC) is sexy, sassy and confident, but we see glimpses of vulnerability and get to know what makes her tic, which is lovely.
Freddie (MMC) is all golden retriever energy and I love him! He jumps in with both feet and when he starts to realise he has feelings for Cole, we get to go through the processing of that with him.
Cole (MMC) embodies Daddy energy and his love for Freddie (and how long he has loved him, even through their platonic friendship) is really beautiful 😍
All of the characters are really well rounded, it's just a shame we don't get more of their story (please Juno, give us more)
A perfect feelgood, empowering and emotional book that will get you right in the feels.
Easy 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 read that I will definitely be coming back to.

This book has become one of my favourite stories because it is so emotionally intelligent, and I have to continually remind myself that these men were created by a woman.
If you swoon over a man that makes consent sexy, if you love a bad ass female main character, who knows what she wants and men who support her with some of the spiciest scenes, I’ve read in a while than this book is for you. This book is a 10 out of 10.

So you know how I mentioned it wouldn’t be long until I got super caught up with Juno Rose North’s books? I was not joking looooool. Just couldn’t stop thinking about Spicy Honey and here we are 😌.
It should come as no surprise that I LOVEDDDD this book too!!! Ugh, the way I am invested in all the characters in this series. Every time I try to form words to express this, a bunch of unhinged memes come to mind lmao. Also, I’m a sl👄t for a bi awakening… And this one was SO excellent. I do metaphorical backflips when we have boyfriends and girlfriends but also the boyfriends become boyfriends too. And then everyone kisses 😌. Literally so good and the intimacy surrounding this was chef’s kiss amazing.
I really enjoyed how different our MCs personalities were too! It really made for an interesting dynamic. It wasn’t just about the spice, there was real work to be put into making this relationship work. I also loved seeing the communication and self reflection that took place! Especially for Sloane. I think it takes skill to write a complex character like her where she’s learning & processing things in real time while also being someone who helps others do that same thing. As for Freddie & Cole. I loved the ADHD rep for Freddie and the thoughtful calmness that Cole brought. The three of them together invoked some cuteness aggression within me lmaooo.
I am also curious about Jessie!!!! I loved seeing her friendship with Sloane and I cannot wait to see what happens in book 3 with her!!!!

I've said in a previous review for Juno Rose North, what an exceptional author she is but once again, I have to state this. She is absolutely incredible and so talented.
I loved Spicy Honey so so much! It was not only sexy and full of heat, but so romantic and so heartfelt.
How Sloane, Freddie and Cole explored their dynamic was something else!
I was so captivated by how their story unfolded the more I read. It was my first time reading about throuples/poly relationships and it definitely won't be my last.
Thank you so much Juno, for giving me the opportunity to be an ARC reader once again for you.
I'm so excited for the future of your work, you've created such beautiful spaces of safety and comfort in the worlds you've created.

Her Boyfriends are Boyfriends
The guys are so sweet, she’s unstoppable, & her dad is awful. Along with a tight knit sex club you have yourself quite the story! It was fun to watch them all fall for each other and get over their insecurities together as well. AND with no third act break up!!!

ARC - review
What’s it about?
-this is the 2nd book in a series of interconnected standalones, it follows Sloane, and American in London, who is a ‘unicorn’ aka the third one in couples threesome fantasies. However lately she feels that’s not enough for her anymore but she’s also not sure if she’s looking for love either. Enter Freddie who she runs into at Salt, a members only sex club. Freddie is immediately enamoured by her but the only problem is she wants a poly relationship. Freddie’s best mate Cole is openly bisexual and has been burying his feelings for Freddie as long as he can remember. Sloane, Freddie & Cole all agree to give dating a go and they both fall for Sloane but slowly Freddie is also starting to see Cole in a new light..
-okay so this was such a wholesome and cute read. I liked Sloane she was a sassy and assertive fmc with a take no shit attitude, Cole’s daddy energy was hot 🥵 but for me the star of the show was Freddie 😮💨 I’m absolutely feral for him! he was just such a happy go lucky character and just the ultimate golden retriever 🥹 the way Juno wrote his bi-awakening and him slowly starting to notice Cole in a different light and then finally realising his true feelings for him was just so beautifully written! 😭💜 I can’t believe this is only her 2nd book because both of them have been so well written with character development that just draws you in 🤌🏻 also soooo many funny moments where I was laughing out loud and the spice was great so the name definitely lives up to it 🤣🔥
So glad to have read this arc and I’m very much looking forward to reading the 3rd book which will be coming out later this year!
Spicy Honey is out on June 9th!
