Both Hope and Brady would give their lives for beautiful Sam. But can they give their trust to one aother? As the second novel in the Blue Ridge Romance series, Honeysuckle Dreams shines light on the complicated and beautiful angles of love.

My Review:

published in 2018

Marriage of Convenience in a contemporary romance? Exactly how is that going to work? Well, beautifully, if it's written by Denise Hunter! Plus, this is a friends-to-lovers romance -- one of my favourite  tropes because it brings the depth of shared history into the romance. Phew! Haul out your fans and have a bucket of ice ready because things really heat up for Brady and Hope as they learn to navigate their unique marriage. Especially when Brady decides to 'court' his wife! Hunter knows how to write toe-curling scenes! Happy, happy sigh. :-)

She also knows how to put her characters through the wringer in a rabid, page-turning kind of way. I was a basket-case by the end. The battle for custody of little Sam (cutest baby ever!) about did me in. The court scenes! Gah! I was on tenterhooks the whole way through.

So we've got emotions running rampant in both the romance and the plot which made me a very happy reader since I think the best kind of books are the kind you live through right along with the characters. I've emerged  safely on the other side of 'the end' only slightly gutted but still reeling from the beauty of it all. :-)
