When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head-on.

Which 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’s here to acquire mineral rights to half a dozen farms in town.

And there’s no way he’s getting mine.

I don’t make deals with the devil.

So 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’s got another thing coming.

Until the line in the sand is washed away.

My farm in danger. A town in upheaval. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

And me in the middle.

When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head-on.

And when he sneaks into your heart, he’ll only break it.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was the kid who stayed inside to read.

As a four-eyed nerd with a bad perm, I was no one’s dodgeball pick, but I had a lot of friends. Frodo and Bilbo, for instance. Kristy, Stacey, Claudia and the gang (iykyk). Once, in the third grade, I wrote a teen murder mystery inspired by Christopher Pike. On solving my mystery in twelve pages, I decided I was a terrible writer and should never, ever do that again.

Fortunately, I didn’t take my own advice.

I write romance for that feeling you get at the end, like you’re standing on top of a mountain with a backpack full of hundred dollar bills. I write romcoms because is there anything better than banter and grand gestures? I write because I love to create and I love words. I love books, and I love stretching my imagination. I love love, and if you do too, bring your coffee and have a seat. I think we’re gonna be friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY LOVED
Reviewed in Australia on 21 September 2021
I am left on a feel good high after finishing this book. It was better than I expected and my expectations were high.

Oh man, was I a ball of nerves for most of this book. I knew, KNEW from the beginning with how the story is set up there would be a big fall out, obviously, but I didn’t know when haha. It was all perfect though. Did it break my heart a little bit, of course, but it was beautifully put back together and turned that ball of nerves into a ball of happiness 😆

Grant and Jo. Oh how I loved them together! From their first interaction to the last had me falling for them. The banter was excellent, their chemistry burned so hot, it blazed, they were just *sigh* amazingness.

Jo is a spunk, and stubborn, but knows her own head and what she wants and I loved that.

Grant, ( I love that his name is my husbands and that I loved him so much) his progression in this book had my heart blooming. He truely finds himself and it is just heartwarming to read.

I love love loved this book, it made me want to go find a small town just like this one and live on it. Hands down recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quips Around Every Corner!
Reviewed in the United States on 28 October 2021

Look, after reading 17 of her 22 books, I can tell you, Staci delivers on the hilarity! The quips between Jo and Grant are faster than a bee stings and drew a smile or an outright laugh at every turn. The prank from the opening is only the beginning.

At the end of the book (not a spoiler, it’s from the Author’s Note!), you find out that Staci’s family owned a bee farm in central Texas back in the day so it was really sweet to see her explore this area and it lended a certain authority to the story. It was also really sweet to see my own state portrayed in such a sentimental, powerful, gentle way when Texas and Texans in general kind of get handed the sticky end of the stick in most mainstream media (if you know what I mean).

This book made me feel like the height of summer, sweat sticking your clothes to your skin, but you’re having so much fun at someone’s back yard barbecue that you can’t bare the thought of it ending… But ohhhhhh the black moment...some choices are made and just… man… My heart just broke for Jo and Grant… But at the end of the book, the journey was so absolutely worth it.

Not Everything Was Sweet As Honey
I have to admit that I’m getting kind of tired of heroes and heroines who don’t have great relationships with their parents. Complicated? Yes—I think it’s fair to say that most people have somewhat complicated relationships with their parents, BUT… Downright terrible or abusive relationships? I dunno… I also just really didn’t like Grant’s dad. Do people that selfish and creepy really exist in the world? Ugh!

Take Aways
Look, y’all. I take pride in being a transplant here in the Lone Star State (though I refuse to put a giant star on anything—shoot me), but it’s been over 15 years and I’m still learning new things… like farmers who made armadillo purses back in the Great Depression? What the what? Let's pause while I go call the family ranch in Anahuac… (pronounced ana-whack for all y’all non-Texans). I have some questions…

If you like enemies-to-lovers romances and enjoy banter around every corner, this is a great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, this was a fun read.
Reviewed in Canada on 6 March 2024

​In For Love or Honey, we have a small town that has become the target of a company that wants its mineral rights.

Normally, the state would be the negotiator but in this case, it seems there are six families that own their land and rights. This is causing this company the need to bring in Grant Stone, The Closer.

Grant is a man who learned from his father that focus, control is everything. It allows the person to be in charge of himself and others. Grant cuts a figure that is hard to ignore and has a history of always getting his way. He is at the specific town hall meeting to woo the town and families to sign over their rights. What he wasn't expecting was the greeting he received from the Blum Sisters.

A warm egg to the face was not what he was used to, and the fierce determination mirrored on the thrower's face was something he liked seeing. He handled this the same way he handled all things, charming, and lightly in front of the town.

Jo Blum was not going to let some suit, granted a handsome suit, bulldozer her family's honey farm that has been around for generations. She put up a fight and hoped to show this man how important this farm and all the others were to the town and life.

Oh, this was a fun read and yet, we all know there is going to be that moment when everything hits the fan and then comes back together in the end.

Here's to more of this small town and all the other Blum sisters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and so charming
Reviewed in the United States on 18 June 2023

This was great fun - Jo and Grant had such a fun dynamic and I loved seeing them go tit-for-tat. Their chemistry and banter was so well done and I was completely charmed not only by the two of them but the rest of the characters as well. Of course, their idyllic romance was doomed to get off track at some point, and even though I knew it was coming, my heart still broke right along with them when it all came to a head. But these two figured it all out soon enough (although the end did feel a smidge abrupt).

4.0 out of 5 stars Carino e leggero
Reviewed in Italy on 8 January 2023

Libro molto carino e non troppo lungo. Ho trovato il setting interessante, visto che la protagonista è un'allevatrice di api e non capita spesso di vedere questi setting campagnoli. La storia, però, non è chissà che. Il protagonista è un riccone che va nella città della protagonista per acquistare dei terreni sotto ai quali c'è del petrolio (se non sbaglio). La protagonista e la sua famiglia si oppongono fino alla fine, ma tra la donna e lui scatta la scintilla. Se vi piacciono i film stile Hallmark Channel, questo è per voi. L'ho trovato piacevole da leggere se non volete nulla di serio, visto che è parecchio superficiale e anche i motivi dei personaggi a volte mi sono sembrati poco validi.
