"Honeysuckle Breeze" by B. R. Goodwin

Do you read multiple books at once?

If you do, does that ever cause you to finish two or three books about the same time?  And does that then cause you to develop a giant backlog of books you need to review, usually right when you have almost zero time to blog?

Or is it just me?

Anyway.  I swear it was still springtime at our house when I read Honeysuckle Breeze, the springtime book in the Sugartree Romance series by B. R. Goodwin.  It was May.  I finished this book a little over two weeks ago.  And two others at the same time, and two more right after that, and and and... I'm catching up at last, but yeah, it's kind of been a struggle.

About the book!  It's really cute and funny... but also drove me a little nuts in the middle because the main characters were avoiding talking to each other instead of just saying, "Hey, what is going on with you?  I am confused" like... well, I was going to say "like adults," but what I actually mean is "like I wanted them to."  However, I am particularly allergic to the miscommunication/non-communication trope, so that probably won't bother other people.

Honeysuckle Breeze picks up shortly after the end of Southern Snow, but focuses on a different Remillard sibling.  And a different Lovett sibling.  This time, it's Kindergarten teacher Caroline who is trying to figure out her complicated feelings for Griffin, who was her best-friend-with-flirting-benefits until they kissed each other at Christmas, and now he is ghosting her entirely... and then suddenly returning to her life and turning it upside down.  I do love second chance romances, so this book was overall a hit for me :-)

If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG-13 for discussions of single-parenting and the decisions that led to that, lots of flirty banter, lots of thinking about being attracted to another person, and some lightly described kisses.  No smut, no cussing, no violence.
