No doubt about it, this was absolutely adorable at times. Still, at times I couldn't really connect with the characters.

I love the Thomas family that this series is gonna be centered around and I'm definitely gonna pick up the next one to give this series a proper second chance.

I'm always here for a good friends-to-lovers but this was basically already lovers from the start so when they started hooking up, the change in dynamic just happened a bit too quickly for me.

Can't even say I dislike Niko because he was a bit bland lol. Also hated how averse he was to getting therapy 🧐 red flag

Still, Vivi and Niko had some proper "AWWW" moments and especially toward the end we got the proper dramatic scenes with protective hero that you know I love 🤭

Hoping the next one suits me better!

I would say: I finished it.
But that’s all.
I didn’t find it particularly original. It was pretty redundant. There is no third act breakup (not that i am really fund of it), no true plot.
Everything is predictable.

1 thing annoys me: since the fisrt quarter of the book it is cleary stated that it will be a second book with the older sister… hey but how about having the first story done before?

Check the trigger warning, there is part quite difficult to read.

I enjoyed it even though I think the word hissed was extremely overused. I'll continue on with the series because I enjoy the sisters dynamic.

If you loved the Nash Brothers series by Carrie Aarons, I’ve got a series for you!

Small town romance ✅

Childhood friends to lovers ✅

Childhood trauma ✅

Swoony love story for the ages ✅

This is the first book of the 5 book Honey Mountain series and I’m here for it.

He was a tortured but romantic firefighter named Niko that lived in darkness his whole life except when he was with Vivi- his ray of sunshine, honey bee.

This is more than just a sweet and spicy romance story! I loved the relationship between all the sisters. The part with the abuse that Niko faces as a child and the loss that Vivi as a teen make for one heck of a book. Y’all seriously I’m in love! I absolutely didn’t want this book to end I needed an epilogue to the epilogue! Can’t wait for books 2-5!
