Spending summer in Hollow Brook will be murder.

When Serena lets her roommate talk her into going to an exotic nightclub that promises to make all of her wildest dreams come true she’s mortified to find the man behind the mask has an all too familiar obnoxious face. But it turns out Serena and Shep share more than a penchant for soft restraints—they share a propensity for trouble.

Or has it just begun?

Shep and Serena had such an awesome chemistry! Their banter had me cracking up. Their luck wasn't the best though. Thank god they did have each other. A murder in such a small town was extremely rare and very scary. Without each other who
knows what this outcome would've been! Their chemistry was also off the charts sexy!!

Another amazing installment of the aazing 3: AM Kisses serie. I really love them all and this was really no exception. I really loved the story of Shep and Serena. This book is very well written and the characters are so real, passionate and loveble.

This book can be read as a standalone, but the whole series is amazing and a recommedation if you like romance.

I don't think Shep knows what to do with his girl at times, “are you kidding? Everyone knows that spitters are quitters.” I take a moment to sneer at him, and his mouth falls open at the double entendre." Shep is a bossy one, “no.” He threads his arm through mine. “You’re coming home with me.” Shep likes to make sure his girl is on the same page, "Serena stretches like a cat, pressing her bottom into my lap, and that’s about all I can take. “Are you up for round two?” I liked this book, I loved Shep.

I always look forward when I get to jump back into the universe that surrounds Whitney Briggs, but that’s only because the way that Addison Moore has built up the series has just been amazing and you can’t help but just fall in love with in once you step inside. Yet again, Addison has done an amazing job and has written such an amazing story, you can’t help but fall in love with characters as they are just so likeable. I found myself not wanting to put the book down, it was just so easy to follow. This is the series that made me fall in love with Addison’s work and I know for a fact that I’ll never get tired of reading the books in this series, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. Seriously, if you’ve not started this series it’s well worth it, plus it doesn’t matter what order you read them in, just make sure you start somewhere and hopefully you’ll fall in love with them too.
Out of all the other books in this series this book took a completely different turn, when you just start getting into it, you can already tell it’s so different than all the others. If anything, it gives off a kind of mysterious vibe, but I do love that because with this book it fitted in with the plot really well. It had you guessing the entire time and I seriously loved that about it.

Serena is a sweet girl, but once her mouth opens you better step back and watch yourself…. One wrong move and she’ll be all over you and telling you how it is. She had to grow up and do things in ways in which you’d never think of a child going through, but at the end of the day it made her stronger and a whole of a lot better person. There’s always been a tension between her and Shep (Shepard) for quite some time, yet for some reason it seems that she can’t seem to stop seeing the guy. All it took was one unfortunate accident to take place and it seems like she can’t get rid of the guy, but will they draw closer together or will it tear them apart for good.

This is still one of my favorite series! I am obsessed with each and every character Addison Moore creates! She has this gift of pulling you in and keeps you wanting more from the series. This world is amazing and as always, I want another 3:AM Kisses book to read!
Serena and Shep are so great together. There is a big age gap. Serena is 20 and Shep 30 which makes things very interesting as almost all their friends and family tell them to stay away from the other. However, they both want each other more than they realize. Even behind masks the pull brings them together. Lex is Serena's sister so she is a hoot in this book. You will be on your toes one minute to laughing out loud at the snarky comments.
Another wonderful book from the stunningly talented Addison Moore. Looking forward to more books in this series.

A sassy mouth girl, a first crush, a hot professor and a misterious crime scene - All this together we can find in this amazing romance from the 3:AM Kisses series. It sure can be read as a stand alone, specially because it differs from the previous ones with this strange murder that occurs in the most frequented bar in Hollow Brook. Serena has a bitter side and created a wall of protection around herself due to rejection fears, but it doesn´t prevent her falling for her family friend and current professor Shep. He first sees her as the child friend, but also can´t keep the hotness feelings that come up when she nears him. Their encounter circuntances can´t be more enigmatic and it makes the story takes a completely different turn than the previous ones on the series. Recommended for those who appreciate first love romance drapped in mistery with the garanteed HEA!

Hot Honey Kisses has to be one of my favorites from Addison Moore in her 3:AM series. Now I havent read them all yet but pretty close to it. I love how characters from even the beginning of the series are still featured in as new ones get introduced. It's like being able to visit with old friends again. I simply love the banter between Shep and Serena is amazing. Even though they have known each other for years you can help but feel that chemistry. There are as many sexy moments that make you fan yourself as there are laugh out load ones. Shep and Serena's awkward moments are the best. This book is an amazing read with a who did it twist. You are definitely on an adventure with Serena and Shep as they try to solve things themselves. Go read this book now because it is beyond amazing.

Shep and Serena seem to bring out the worst in each other. Serena takes every available opportunity to put him down and Shep gives as good as he gets. After a verbal sparring match, they stumble upon a dead body and find themselves as suspects. Serena also discovers that Shep is the professor of her summer class and doesn't take the news all that well. So begins their journey of trying to find the murderer and also how they really feel about each other. After attending the club, Anonymous, they are surprised to find that they actually have chemistry together. I enjoyed the story, but I do have to say that Serena was quite annoying throughout this book. She was partly a drama queen and pretty much acted like a toddler throughout.

I really enjoy these books as they are fast paced usually and fun because they all go together. This book is the 17th book in the series (can’t believe I’ve read 17 books in a series!!!) and it was about Serena and Shephard. Serena is your fun little mermaid inspired girl who is struggling to make money while at university. She works at the black bear the local bar for the university as well as taking a class during the summer for her business degree. Shephard has always been in Serena’s life but they can’t stand each other or so we think. They both go back and forth and while helping Serena take out garbage, they come upon a body but now things become serious as they are both the suspects. Forced together they make quite a team. An interesting story that’s for sure.

OMG! I have read hilarious rom-coms, suspenseful thrillers and murder mysteries, but this is the best book across all three genres. This author is a gifted writer with a quirky and wicked sense of humor! I will NEVER think of West Virginia in the same light again. LOL
Addison Moore brings her characters to life and Hot Honey Kisses is a true testament to her writing abilities. The story features Shep and Serena and their evolving relationship as frenemies. There is a visit to a new club called Anonymous, experiments with hot honeyed liquored drinks and a murder. And their trip to West Virginia? Priceless! This is entertainment at its finest, courtesy of Addison Moore.

Addison Moore is a creative genius when it comes to her novels; in particular in the 3:AM Kisses series. Hot Honey Kisses is the 17th book within this series and it just keeps coming. Even with the number of stories within this series, you don't feel as if any parts of the stories are repeating from one of the other books. In Hot Honey Kisses, Shep and Serena are off to a rocky start - they've known one another for years, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there were sparks flying from the get go. Their story peaks and from there it continues to grow. I loved, loved, loved it! Add in the murder suspense that is hinted in the synopsis and this story is definitely packing! Amazing!!

Wow! This book was so amazing I couldn't put it down I just read straight through to the morning. It's charming and witty and oh so hot! As usual, Addison Moore delivers a smart sassy heroine who knows what she wants and foots straight for it. That something she wants just happens to be Shep Collins, her witty sexy brother-in-law who she just so happens hate as much as she might love him. But what happens when they stumble onto a murder and become the prime suspects? Will it be a crime of passion in the end?

I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Addison has done it again. Her books are just awesome. I get so hooked on them that I can not stop reading once I pick them up. Nothing better than getting pulled in within the first few pages of a book and hers are always that way.

This book is all about how Serena and Shep finally find out if they are really meant to be together and there is a little bit of mystery along the way.

Just enough to keep you going from start to finish.

Fantastic book, well written with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book has sass, humor, suspense, romance and a murder. I loved Serena and Shep's banter and chemistry. They find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation. They decide to work together to find the killer. I love the 3 A.M. series, it is one of my favorites. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This was a fantastic read with mystery, murder, and love. This story will have you hooked from the beginning to the end. The dynamics of the relationships of each character in this story played out nicely showing a bit of everything. I absolutely loved Shep and Serena's banter, lots of feistiness with plenty of love. I'd definitely recommend this book.

What a great read! Humor, suspense, love, lust and tears. This book will cause all kinds of emotions while reading it, but in a good way.

I don’t know how Addison could make me laugh out loud whilst there was a murder investigation going on but she did!

I don’t like to give anything away when writing reviews, this is worth a read you will not be disappointed.

Love this series

Even though each book in this series can be a stand-alone, I recommend reading all of them. Especially this one. Shep and Serena's banter was awesome and funny at the same time. The murder mystery was a bonus too. Definitely worth the time to read and I read it in one sitting. No spoilers No cliffhanger

It was ok

I wasn't really a fan with how Seth wouldn't tell her what really happened that night. If he really cared for her why wouldn't you tell her the truth instead of letting her go on about something that was false. also I thought it was a bit much that she got the "flu" symptoms like right away. Never heard of such a thing. It just seemed a bit much to me. just my thoughts.

Romance with a side of murder

Loved the mix of comedy, romance, and suspense that can only come from this group! Finding love right in front of your face from someone that has always been in your life is so sweet. Loved their happy ending and can’t wait for more!

New Adult, Age-Gap, Murder mystery romance. How many great categories can one book have. Like Darcy from 99 Percent Mine, Serena is a walking sarcasm machine and I love her for it. The chemistry between Shepherd and Serena is off the charts and only gets better with every page.

Addison Moore never disappoints and this book is no different! The sarcastic humor of the characters cause a lot of laugh out loud moments and the chemistry between Shep and Serena is off the charts! Once you start reading you will not want to put it down! With small town murder mystery, humor, and a little sexy thrown in this book has it all!
