The latest masterpiece by the incredibly talented Lucy Lennox and May Archer: "Firecracker." It is the first installation in their brand-new series Honeybride.
["There are three kinds of people in Honeybridge, Maine: The Honeycutts, who know a lot about love and loyalty; The Wellbridges, who think they’re the epitome of wealth and refinement; and the rest of the Honeybridgers, who know better than to get in the way of the centuries-old rivalry between the two.
There wasn’t a time when I didn't know Flynn “Firecracker” Honeycutt.He’s been my childhood friend. My high school rival. The guy I couldn’t stop dreaming about, long after I thought I’d left him and Honeybridge in my rear-view mirror.
Now he’s the key to the giant promotion that can make or break my career… if I can just convince the man to give me the distribution rights for his award-winning mead.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.
Flynn’s not the guy he used to be. His gorgeous eyes used to spark with dreams and fire, but now he looks at me with cold fury. And just like Achilles had his heel and Samson had his hair, I had Flynn Honeycutt, the one man I’d never been able to charm, despite an entire life spent winning people over.
I’m not giving up, though. Because I’m not the kid I used to be, either. And because, if the two of us can survive a long, hot summer filled with his family’s crazy antics and my mother’s single-handed determination to keep the Wellbridge-Honeycutt feud alive, there might just be a chance for both of us to get what we want:
A new dream.
The fulfillment of an old town legend.
And another chance to spark Firecracker to life."]
A Romeo and Juliet (loosely) retelling?! Sign. Me. The Fuck. Up.
Forbidden romance? Late night intrigues? Steam that will make a train/tea kettle jealous? Angst that will give you a headache (from banging your head off the wall, muttering "just talk to each other")? Fluff that will give you a cavity? Plus all of the feels? Plus more of that small-town charm, the busy-body/gossip life, the big families, the and multitudes of gay men for future installments of the series? All. Of. The. Above.
This book was pretty 50/50 on Goodreads. People either looooooved it, or sorta tolerated it and nit-picked at things. I, for one, fucking loved it. Then again, it's Lucy and May, and they're two of my favorite authors (aka weaknesses). Full. On. Recommendation. ;) Trust me on this.
