Summary: Decent read
Comment: The story started out a little dry but it picked up as it went along. I found that Alex's secret, "Cap", was a little predictable and that was a let down. I liked Camille's character because she's not a damsel-in-distress. She knew what she wanted and she went after it. Towards the end, it dragged a little - I wanted to say "Come on already, finish the book" but overall it was a good book.

Summary: Americana At Its Best
Comment: This is the 3rd book in a 4 book series and all 4 books are worth buying. I've read all 4 and my two favorites are this one and the first, "Harmony." However, "Hooked" and "Hearts", #s 2 and 4, are hot on their heels. An enormously satsifying aspect to "Honey" is that it recounts in detail the early history of baseball and puts us right into the heart of an early team that tours the USA around the turn of the century. I have very fond memories of baseball because my grandfather took me to the Cleveland games when I was a child. This book tapped into the love of the game and in its early days you also see the sport in its purer form before millions of dollars were attached to its every move. This is not boring history though because the author has put us among some very lovable characters who play on and own the team. The hero is a former big city player who plays for this Montana team in order to raise money to help his friend Cap who needs extensive medical work for a head injury. Unlike their big city counterparts, most of these ballplayers are drawn from the community and work other jobs but are making time for baseball to make a professional team a reality for their town. The heroine is the daughter of the team's owner. He is forced to let his daughter run the team when his owner-partner is the man he most despises in town. That new partner insists that anyone but he manage the team. This is a wonderful, touching love story between these two protagonists and also a powerful tale of the ups and downs of a life in baseball during the turn of century in America. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Amazing Americana!
Comment: Stef Ann Holm is not only one of the very best Americana authors, but one of the very best overall fiction authors, in my opinion. Her Brides for All Seasons books are truly a joy, and Honey is a wonderful third installment to the series. I loved the references to characters of the first two books - Harmony and Hooked - as well. It was nice to revisit them.Camille Kennison, the heroine, is beautiful and very likeable. She has grace and style, but hasn't found a man to make her want to marry. One of her biggest desires is to earn her father's respect and approval.Alex Cordova, a pro baseball player retired from the game is troubled by his past and comes to Camille's town of Harmony, Montana to sort things out and carry on.As fate would have it, Alex winds up on Harmony's baseball team and Camille ends up managing the team. Ms. Holm weaves a sweet and wonderful tale of turn of the century era lives and baseball - colorful in every way, from the players to the superstitions they had. Romance and the boys of summer are wonderfully interwoven in this book.The secondary romance with Hildegarde and Captain is also touchingly sweet and well written.This book is a page turner with loveable characters and historically correct references!A Keeper! Looking forward to the Hearts book that finishes the series, although I wish this Brides series would go on forever!
