Jasmine has always known that life wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that all her hard work keeping a home wasn't appreciated. It wasn't fair that none of that time counted as "experience," but she was desperate so she had to take whatever there was. Stepping off the bus, she reminded herself that life didn't have to be fair, but it did have to be survived. As soon as she laid eyes on the handsome man who answered the door, she remembered something she'd suppressed for a long time: life had it's sunny moments as well.
Knox Ryker didn't really like this whole idea of getting a housekeeper. Yes, five guys living together could take it's toll on a place. Yes, Dax's new girlfriend had a point: it was a pigsty. But having a stranger come over to root through your things just didn't feel right. But once he laid eyes on Jasmine, he had feelings of a totally different sort.
This 10,000+ word Novella contains handsome bachelor Bear Shifter hotness, a Happily Ever After, No Cheating and No Cliffhanger. Also included are some free bonus stories as my thanks to you.

Jasmine needs a job. Knox and the other bear shifters he lives with need someone to clean their house. What could go wrong? I love this story. I read it all in one sitting. I love the characters. I love bear shifters because they are big, strong and loyal. This story will have you wanting to read more of the series. Can't wait to see what happens next! I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Like book one, everything about this is abrupt and a little bit under-developed, but It still mostly had my attention. I know it is a short story, but I do think even for a short story, it could use more development.
In fact, I like this book better than book one. I think that had these have been expanded and enriched with more detail and development, they would be very interesting. Or maybe they could have more detail and development without being longer, if opportunities had been taken to add a bit more of that in through more careful use of sentences and scenes.
I think these feel like a rough draft of something that could be much greater and more fascinating. It’s the starting stage of something that could be really good, which is why they have my interest, despite that I feel each book deserves only about 2.75 stars.

Jasmine has been hurt, but her spirit is not broken. She sets out to find a job and support herself. Knox is sweet and sees Jasmine's determination and strength in how she reacts to the mess in the house. A quick, sweet read.

She needs a safe place to live and work. He and his friends need someone to clean their home for them. It seems like a perfect arrangement.
Jasmine and Knox feel a connection as they get to know one another. He is a bear shifter and really wants a better life for her. He is willing to do anything to protect her once he learns she is in danger. She is a young woman pushed into a marriage she did not want and is eager for independence and freedom from her ex's control.
It is a quick read and the second book in the series about a group of bear shifters that make honey and moonshine too. Each is a standalone so you don't have to read them in order. Ben is the first book in the series and a good read as well. I liked Jasmine. She has not had an easy life but she prefers to work hard rather than complain. Knox is a protective, loving guy that can bring her the happiness she was missing from her marriage.

I want to thank Becca Fanning for the ARC for my honest review.
I enjoyed the book-but was a little confused. Jasmine/Knox have good chemistry. I think maybe a better intro to Jasmine would have helped...I was like what???? She's from where?
There is some violence, some sex, a little suspense, a little sad, but overall a great quick read. This is a stand alone but part of a series. Lots of fun-and I think any romance reader would enjoy these books.

This was my favorite in the series so far. Jasmine is trying to move forward in her life and ends up working for Knox and his friends/clan. An unplanned trip to an ER leads her past finding her again and Knox proves he and his bear will do anything to keep her safe. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the story of Knox & Jasmine. The tension with Jasmine's ex made the story even better. Introducing characters from other cultures is a nice addition. Good, quick read. And, by theway, bears do love honey!

Too much insta love and not enough passion. Had it had that combo it would have been something fab.

KNOX is the second short story in Becca Fanning’s 120 Proof Honey series. What’s kinda interesting about it is that both the story and the narration improved with this installment. That’s not always the case in a series.
Whereas there’s nothing extra special about Knox and Jasmine as a couple I simply adored how their relationship progressed. It was easy and straightforward, something that Jasmine sorely needed. I appreciated that Knox unknowingly showed Jasmine how safe a woman can feel with the right partner. I got the impression that that wasn’t something she had experienced in her past 😉
Another thing that I enjoyed about this shorty was the details. There were only a few minor things missing. Despite it being short the reader got a believable background on Jasmine. Although things weren’t exactly spelled out the author wrote enough info to paint a rather complete picture. With that the conflict within the plot was set up perfectly.
There was a noticeable difference in Meghan Kelly’s performance of this story compared to the one she gave for book #1, DAXTON. While I liked that performance I must admit that there was improvement in this one. Her acting was apparent in her delivery of the words. There was emotion in her voice. She easily brought to mind the image of Jasmine as she began to take charge of her life. Plus on top of that Kelly made sure to differentiate the guys with different voices. I love when a narrator does that.

Knox is a fun paranormal romance by Becca Fanning. This is a quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Fanning has provided readers with a well-written book furnished with an outstanding cast of characters. Knox is a bear shifter and lives with 4 other shifters. Jasmine is living in a shelter while hiding from her ex-husband. She's hired as a housekeeper to clean the house for the shifters. Knox and Jasmine's story is loaded with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Becca Fanning in the future. Knox is book 2 of the 120 Proof Honey Series but it can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

This story could be amazing, however at only 46 pages we don’t gain a real understanding of the characters, the plot is weak, and everything happens so fast that it’s only mentioned. We don’t get to experience the action with our characters. I bought this book this book for $.99 and honestly these stories are worth nothing more. I have a real problem with authors charging $2.99 for a story less then 50 pages. Feels like they are trying to line their pockets instead of giving audiences a good story.

I like this series!
Sometimes you read long novels and sometimes you're in the mood for a sweet quick romance that has a happily ever after that makes your day feel a little more sunny and that's what this book did for me. Sweet, short, and sunny. I like this writer and her work!

Really good, fast moving short story, lol. Normally I don't like short stories but this one was very entertaining and gave a lot of descriptive information about each character in a short amount of time and words.....very good. Phyllis

Jasmine courage
She divorced her abusive husband and needed a job. Knox and the clan needed a housekeeper and hired Jasmin. Little did they know how this business proposition led to their HEA.

Loved the start...
I really like the collection of the authors stories at the start. The last few, I felt, could have been left out because they made no sense to me.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
** SPOILERS **What's not to love about this book, it was absolutely charming, Knox was just adorable and you couldn't help but warm to him so it was no wonder that Jasmine couldn't help herself either. Jasmine, bless her, is really timid when she arrives at their house for her interview and initially doesn't think that she will get the housekeeper job that she has applied for, even though she can't help but be attracted, instantly, to one of the interviewers, Knox, but within a few days she gets the call to let her know that she has the job.
However, within the hour she is at their house again ready to start and she had no idea just what a mammoth task she would be taking on, looking after 5 large men who obviously have never heard of cleaning up after themselves, and she just hopes that even though she has no previous work experience that she is up to the task. Still, within a few days the house is looking much more livable and the men are very happy with her work, especially Knox and their friendship/relationship is just getting stronger and stronger and Jasmine is finding is harder and harder to deny her growing attraction to him.
As with all these books, things never go completely smoothly and there all always things that crop up to put a damper on things for a while, but eventually you know that it'll work out and with this book it is more of the same. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, it was really enjoyable and I loved Knox and Jasmine together.
I like this series a lot, more so that some of the others to be fair, I like the guys a lot and the girls are all quite different so far, which is nice. Cannot wait for the series to continue.

Knox is one of the Bear shifters who is instantly drawn and protective over Jasmine. As these two are getting closer and realising how they feel, jasmines past comes looking for her thanks to a bee sting. Can Knox protect her and show her how he feels? Can Jasmine accept who Knox is?
This was such a sweet story. " I really like you" omg so adorable. Poor Jasmine having such a douchebag for an ex. I can't imagine being married to someone like that. Having no one to support her or comfort her. she doesn't have to worry being hurt with Knox. He will gut anyone who hurts her. Luuussshhhh!!!!! I ♡ Knox. He just has such a cheeky and tender side to him.

KNOX is the second book in the 120 Proof Honey. Though each stands on its own, it’s better to read them all and in the order of release.
These fun, short stories are entertaining. There is no better way to spend a holiday weekend than relaxing with a series of humorous, sexy, and sweet romances.
I love the insta-attraction and protection from Knox. Jasmine and Knox are so sweet together.
I’m looking forward to seeing which of these gentle giant/ cuddly teddy brothers will be the next to find his mate.

Five men can be very messy. What is a girl to do when your job is cleaning up after them. Bad things happen when Jasmine is stung by a bee.
Knox come to the rescue. A lot of fun action and a little romance is what you can expect from Ms. Fanning's books. Wonderful reading! She writes very well and comes up with interesting stories. You won't be disappointed. I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This short story packs a lot of story into a few words. We are introduced to for bear shifters who are basically slobs. They hire recently divorced Jasmine to clean for them. But things get complicated when her past makes an unexpected and dangerous reappearance. There's just enough story here to intrigue me. I usually prefer full length books, but this is a good short one. Please note that I received a free copy of this book and in turn I have left this honest review.

I really enjoyed the series and loved each book. The series is about a tight group of Shifters and each book has highlighted one of the Shifters and their story. It was much better than I had expected. I loved the characters. They were fun, sexy and smart. The story lines are good and I liked that it had a great plots withing such short time-frames being novellas. I loved each book. It had me interested from start to finish and left me wanting more. A wonderful read.

Another fast and great read. I love that the bear shifters in this series make and sell their own honey. But evidently they are slobs. And that is where Jasmine comes in. Hired to clean up after 5 men who are all shifters. But her past may destroy this great job. And don't forget the gorgeous shifter Knox.
