Harmony Island Gazette

Sweet Tea and a Southern Gentleman, Book 5

By: Anne-Marie Meyer

Narrated by: Liz Krane

In this story, Kevin may be the villain, but I am the monster. In the end, I don’t get the happily ever after. In the end, I don’t get the girl.

Juniper

I’m pregnant and I don’t know what to do. I can’t tell my parents. Kevin never wanted a baby. The only person who knows is Boone, and he swore he wouldn’t tell anyone and even though I’ve just met him, I believe he’ll keep my secret. Morning sickness is no joke, so when Mom mentions needing to go out of town to help her sister, and I encourage my parents to go. With them gone, I won’t live in fear that they will discover what I’m trying to keep hidden. Now it’s Boone and I.

At first, I vow to keep to myself. But situations occur and suddenly, we’re thrown together. I thought I knew how a husband was supposed to treat his wife, but Boone is contradicting those thoughts. But, when I discover that he’s connected to my ex, all the trust I had for him crumbles away. I’m not meant for a happily ever after and my knight in shining armor? He doesn’t exist.

Ella

I can’t shake the mystery man’s words. I know I should ignore what he said.

Chalk it up to a crazy person spouting crazy things, but my spidey senses are tingling and I can’t help but think there’s trouble in Proctor paradise. If only Asher could see what I see. He’s too excited to land them as clients for his up-and-coming real estate company to question what’s behind the curtain. And when he asks me to let it go and just be happy for him, I try…

Until I can’t ignore my suspicions any longer. The Proctors may rule this town, but they don’t control me. I’ll discover their secrets and when I do, I just hope my best friend isn’t in the line of fire when I go to take the whole Proctor dynasty down. This story is told through 3 different points of view. Juniper, Boone, and Ella. It's a story of romance and friendships between women. The Harmony Island Gazette is chock full of romance with a protective hero. Please check the warnings before listening.

The “okay-ness” vibe continues.

Juniper and Boone - I liked them, maybe the most of the series so far.
Juniper’s parents are cozy and sweet.
Boone is a cinnamon roll.
Juniper makes some really questionable choices.

Fast paced small Town romance.

I enjoyed the story line but wished it was longer and more thought out. It was so fast paced that the plot had several holes in it. Trigger physical, abuse male on female.

Loved this book!

This series is beyond addictive!! Loved this book and all the intersecting characters. The love story is moving, healing, and a page-turner. Totally recommend.

Enjoyable

easy read, love following each character. can't wait to see whst happens next. do wish it shared what happens the new couple

Love it!

This series is so addictive! My current favorite series, and I’m so excited to see the rest of Asher and Ella’s story and to see a new couple!

Incontinuity

The story was OK, but we were missing a storylines beginnings. They were referred to later in the story, but I went back several times listening to see if I could find where it said that happened at the beginning and it didn’t three different storylines that I know ofdid not have a beginning we started in the middle. Very annoying and distracting!

Not my cup of tea

I think I’m just too old to relate to these female characters. Probably great for teenagers. I’m sorry. I don’t like giving low reviews, but I rolled my eyes so much I was dizzy at the end.
