I love this sweet series. It boasts family, love, forgiveness and I really feel like I have a connection with these characters. They are quick short stories that give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

Sweet Tea & Honey Bees is the third book in the Sweet Tea B & B Series. Brandon, Kate's ex husband and the father of Evie has reached out and wants to reconnect with his daughter. Kate is trying to support her daughter and let her know it's okay to reconnect with her dad. Kate believes something is up but not sure what it is that Brandon wants to reconnect with Evie now after all these years. Kate and Mia also are suspicious when their dad shows up out of the blue wanting to spend time with them.

Another great book in the Sweet Tea Series. In this book we have multiple secrets that are being kept and Kate and Mia must figure out what's going on order to keep all the various relationships going strong.

This series is just giving me everything I need right now. Great family drama with just the right amount of hope. The books are pretty short so I am getting through them quickly and the narrator for the audiobook does a fabulous job. These aren't the deepest stories, but my enjoyment of it is certainly 5 stars.

Sweet Tea & Honey Bees is the third story in this series. I truly love this family & the B & B. The characters’ personalities come through in their actions & words. You are drawn into the relationships between the sisters, Kate & Evie’s, & even the relationships between them & their new loves. I love the way they all band together to face any threat or danger. In this case, the threat comes in the shape of Kate’s ex-husband. Brandon suddenly wants to be a father after abandoning Evie for his new family. What’s he up to?

[Debbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

There isn’t really much to say about this book. It’s a continuation of the series. The author doesn’t try too hard to disguise what’s coming, so it’s easy to somewhat figure it out. These books aren’t deep. They are just what I think they are intended to be — light, easy books to read. Aside from the absent father who returns, I find all of these characters to be likable. I have one more to read in this series. They have been great to lighten my mood in between the more intense books I’ve been reading.

Sweet Tea & Honey Bees is the third book in Rachel Hanna’s in Sweet Tea B&B series. What an awesome series this is Rachel Hanana has written a wonderful story which drew me right in, making me forget everything else and did not let me go until I turned the last page. I did not want to put this book down. I stayed up well past my bedtime reading. I loved how the author described everything so vividly I was able to visualize and feel everything that was going on. This is very well written and has well developed and likable characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. I felt like I was right there with the characters. This is a very emotional and enjoyable story full of second chances, love, friendship and wonderful characters. I laughed, I cried and I felt all the emotions of this book. … is one of those books you read, savor and read again.

Sweet Tea & Honey Bees by Rachel Hanna is a 2020 publication.

This is the third installment in the Sweet Tea B&B series and picks up after Evie's estranged father begins demanding to visit her. Initially, Evie refuses, but deep down she really does want to meet him.

Though her mother, Kate, is not thrilled, she allows her ex-husband to stay at the B&B so he and Evie can establish a relationship… but Kate is positive her former husband is up to something.

Meanwhile, Mia and Travis may have hit a snag in their relationship when Travis is offered a major opportunity that takes him back to the city and into a working relationship with a woman who has designs on him…

Moreover, Kate and Mia’s father, Jack, is also staying at the B&B and is acting very strange…

It is always fun to check in with Mia, Kate, and Evie! For a novella length story this one has a lot going on and Rachel Hanna somehow manages to bring it all together in an impactful way. I loved many of the messages in the book about forgiveness, doing the right thing by someone, even if we they aren’t our favorite person. Evie’s character is the one that has really come a long way since the series first began and it is great to see the mother/daughter dynamic bloom.

Overall, this is another lovely installment in the series. While I am looking forward to the last installment, I’m really going to hate to see it end…

4 stars

As with each of the books in the Sweet Tea B&B series, I feel like I'm coming home. I want to stay at the B&B and visit with Mia and Kate in the kitchen. I want to sit by the lake and climb the big tree with Evie. I always get lost in the story and the setting. I'm honestly pretty partial to Cooper. He is just a good, honest, loving, caring man. I want to like Travis but there is just something off-putting about him. It did make me happy that Brandon visited for the right reasons and I have to admit, Kate was a big person than I think I could have been!

I thoroughly love this series. I love the characters, the setting, and the emotions. I also love that it is a clean read. The story doesn't need steam and lust to make it amazing. I highly recommend this book!

[Tamra Delasalle Padgett · Rating 5 out of 5]

After this third book I really want to become a sister and become part owner of this B & B and never leave. This tranquil setting is what I think most people would love most about here along with their family bond they share. They stand with each other no matter what diversity comes their way and threatens their very happiness they have. Whether its a distant father, a unhappy ex wanting back in his daughters life or a love waiting to happen. I cant wait for others to read to wonderful series and to see the happiness they experience from these stories and characters. I am so excited for the next book to come out so I can read what happens next in each of their lives. Grab your copies today and start this new adventure with us all.

[Lennie Hurst · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rachel Hanna9 it eeq's "Sweet Tea &s Honey Bees" is a four-star clean romance novel. I enjoy Hanna's novels because she is so good in her niche. She gives you enough to keep you involved without being "R" rated. If that is the kind of romance you enjoy, she's the perfect way to go.

In this one, Kate's ex-husband returns to build a relationship with Evie, Kate, and his daughter. Kate is suspicious of his motive. Turns out, she has good reason to doubt his motive. He is hiding a secret. However, it is a secret that will break Evie's young heart and leave Kate ashamed of her doubt.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet Tea and Honey Bees is a quick, heartwarming read that beautifully explores family, love, and the deep bonds that unite us. While it delves into some serious themes, the story remains engaging and uplifting. The author expertly balances emotional depth with a compelling narrative, making for a truly enjoyable experience.

[Marti · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honey bees? A few mentions, then the shop at the end. This book is really about families (with needs and bad blood) being roughly reunited and learning to trust again.

I’m gonna need to switch to the print version to continue this series. The narrators of this edition and my ears didn’t get along well.

Borrowed on Hoopla through JCPL.
Listening length three hr 45 min

Book three has Mia’s ex-husband comes back into her and Evie’s life. He has not kept in contact with his daughter very well and Mia is curious as to what he really wants.
When the real reason is revealed, it made me eager to find out what Mia will do.
By the end of the book the next one will give us all more answers to questions.

[Kimberly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plugging along through the series. I'm listening to the books and the voice of Evie is very grating. I don't know why I thought this was a trilogy and this was the last book, so not sure if I can get through listening to Evie's POV next book or if I'll have to read it instead. The series is a decent palate cleanser between heavier books

[Linda Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This third book in the series is so full of adventures and twists. Bringing family members together after a long absence and developing their characters more fully. Sweet Tea and Honey Bees will keep you guessing until the end and thirsting for more to come!

Evie's father Brandon has shown up and nobody can figure out why he's shown up after all these years. Jack, Kate and Mia's father has shown up unexpectedly and seems to have a secret as well. When secrets are revealed, lives will be changed.

[Roxanne Miles · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a quick read about family and all of the parts that make it complicated. This author writes short and sweet stories that always have twists that can really happen I life. They are the kind of characters that you want to have a meal with.

This is the 3rd book in the Sweet Tea series and we visit with all our old friends and also find new ones who arrive. I love this series with its array of characters and how the stories make me feel as if I know them too.

[Bobbie N · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the third of a charming series that is best read in order, Kate's ex-husband comes to town, wanting to re-connect with their daughter after having abandoned her years before, and Kate and Mia's father returns and it's clear he is keeping something from them.
