Sweeter Than Honey is a book I didn’t know I needed in my life. I always say romance is not the first genre I reach for when grabbing a book on my shelf, but I believe Author Joy Avery has changed that.

Sweeter Than Honey introduces readers to the entertaining and lovable characters of Honey Hill, North Carolina. The story centers around Rylee Harris, a local baker, and the town sheriff, Canten Barnes, who have eyes for each other but are afraid to take a step forward. Rylee tells her mother that she is dating the sheriff to prevent her mother from playing matchmaker for her. But when her parents show up – Rylee and Canten are forced to pretend they are in a real relationship. That’s when the sparks start to explode between the two of them.

I had an array of emotions while reading this book – from laughs to tears – I couldn’t put this book down. The characters’ chemistry flowed naturally, making for an easy read. Author Joy Avery’s writing style wrapped me up like a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa – which is not an easy thing to do. But Author Joy Avery pulled it off effortlessly.

Sweeter Than Honey is one of my favorite reads of 2022.
