Does the Deep End by Kristen Ashley count as one of the "oh hi Honey" part of the challenge?
It is part of the series called Honey and is set at the Honey Club.

Sounds like a slam dunk, Angel!

sorry for the typo. The challenge runs from September 1st to September 30th.

Angel that would definitely count since it includes the term honey.
