This book had a unique plot and some fun side characters (loved the Foxx brothers! & Hadley), but the pacing was all over the place. The first half dragged so much I kept putting it down, while the second half felt rushed with everything happening all at once. The suspense and romance felt underdeveloped, and I was left with so many unanswered questions. That said, the twist was unexpected, and I’d still be curious to check out the next book in the series. This one was just okay for me—didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.

I don't know what magic Victoria Wilder puts in her books but I can just tell I'm going to be pulled into this series the same I was with the Rigg's Family series.

Hot damn. Please send help, I’ve fallen for Grant Foxx and I can’t get up 🥵🥵
I ATE this book UP. This book was an entire five course meal, and every moment of it was finger-lickin’ good.
THE BANTER?!!!? THE SPICE?!!!? NO FUCKING NOTES.
It’s been a hot minute since I picked up a romantic suspense but GOD DAMNNN it didn’t disappoint!! (AND NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP?!?! My love language right there)
Anyway!!! This book was 5/5 stars and now let’s turn to Siri.
“Hey Siri, where can I get my very own bourbon cowboy, Grant Foxx?” because I’d like him STAT.

Honey & Cowboy
4.5/5 Stars
This is my first read by Victoria and lemme tell you, her books will be an automatic read for me. The banter, the tension, the chemistry!?! Top notch. So so good, I truly had such a great time reading this and I cannot wait for the Lincoln’s book. All of the characters in the story were so complex and strong, they truly complimented each other so well. The burn was oh so slow but it was truly worth it.
Laney is such a strong, fierce, no nonsense type FMC and didn’t shy away from what she wanted and also said what was on her mind. And Grant was so tough and rough on the exterior but was so gentle with the people he loves and cares about. Getting to see their relationship grow while they both helped one another heal from their past was simply amazing. PLUS HE PAINTS HER NAILS for her?! Doesn’t get much better than that!
Tropes:
- Found family
- Strangers to lovers
- Romantic suspense
- Small town romance
- Hidden identity
- Grumpy x sunshine

fun concept but the execution was a lil off! I loved grant like he’s a textbook book bf but the pacing was inconsistent, wayyyy too much bourbon terminology, and the ending was anticlimactic
