When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head-on.
\nWhich is exactly what I did when Grant Stone rolled into our small Texas town, driving a sports car I could fit in the bed of my truck, wearing a suit as black as his soul. He\u2019s here to acquire mineral rights to half a dozen farms in town.
\nAnd there\u2019s no way he\u2019s getting mine.
\nI don\u2019t make deals with the devil.
\nSo when he challenges me to show him the small town ropes, my motivation is the prospect of seeing him make a fool of himself. He might have an angle, but if he thinks he can finagle me into endangering my bee farm, he\u2019s got another thing coming.
\nUntil the line in the sand is washed away.
\nMy farm in danger. A town in upheaval. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
\nAnd me in the middle.
\nWhen the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head-on.
\nAnd when he sneaks into your heart, he\u2019ll only break it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 \u201cI\u2019ll be your somebody\u201d stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jo Blum has been helping out with her families Bee farm since she was a little girl and she will do anything to protect it. When Grant Stone comes to town to try to buy the mineral rights for fracking on the farms in Lindenbach, including Blum Bee Farm, Jo is determined to keep the send him packing.<\/p>\n

For Love or Honey<\/i> is such a sweet enemies-to-lovers, small town romance and I couldn\u2019t get enough of it! Jo and Grant are hilarious together. From the first moment they met, I couldn\u2019t stop the giggles from coming.\u00a0The banter is fantastic and it allowed them to have fun and open up. I thought their relationship was well developed and I loved that they started off as enemies but made it a game and ended up forming a wonderful friendship before they actually took a chance at more.\u00a0I loved that Grant takes her by surprise and is so sweet when he lets his walls down.<\/p>\n

In such a short time, just a moment of my life, my gravity had shifted. And in the middle of it all was her. She was what I saw when I closed my eyes. She was what I wished for when I woke. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The drama in this story is not over the top and is believable. When Jo and Grant face challenges there is definitely some heartache and the feels are real. I thought the character growth is well written and they take their time to really get to know each other. I loved that Jo stayed true to herself as she fell in love. She stuck to her gut while still opening her heart to Grant. And I loved Grant\u2019s development and the way the story played out. Everything that led them to where they are was wonderfully written and I had such a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know when I came here that it would change me. You changed me. Somehow, you\u2019ve managed to undo everything I thought I wanted and rewrite it. And now\u2026 I don\u2019t want to go.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is also fantastic chemistry and sexy times bringing us not only a heartfelt romance but one with heat, too. It is the perfect mix of fun, feels, and fire!<\/p>\n

I have to include the Blum sisters and mama in this review because they are wonderful. I need more of them!! I loved the cameos of Presley and Sebastian as well and can\u2019t wait to see them all again!! I loved it!<\/p>\n
