"On the Honey Side is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. It blends the humor of matchmaking with the heat of a slow burn for a cocktail I can't resist and will beg for time and time again. Sweet, touching, and subtly steamy, it was the perfect romantic comedy to get lost in at the end of a hectic day. An easy five-star and must read of 2022!" - bestselling author Kandi Steiner

No one can ever have Keaton Meyer.
Least of all me.
The brooding construction manager is a man of myth and legend, rarely seen in the wild. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback, the smiling homecoming king, royalty in our small town. Until tragedy struck. And then he disappeared completely.
Now he’s resurfaced, and I can’t keep my eyes off him.
He’s an island surrounded by lava, bound by a desert and guarded by dragons. I don’t stand a sunshine’s chance in a hail storm.
Our siblings disagree and are out to prove it, nudging us into each other in the hopes we’ll fall. But with our town in tumult and the two of us firmly in the middle, nothing between us is easy. And when he’s faced with an impossible decision, I learn the truth of what I already knew.
No one can have Keaton Meyer.
And I have the broken heart to prove it.

Christy's Review: On The Honey Side by Staci Hart
My rating: 4.5 stars




This is my favorite kind of small town romance. One where the town feels alive and almost like a character itself. One with so much heart and emotion. I loved Daisy and Keaton’s story so much!

Daisy Blum is one of the ‘cursed’ Blum sisters. Now that her sister Jo has found love, maybe Daisy can too. She did once, a long time ago, but her longtime boyfriend passed away when they were teenagers and she’s been single ever since.

Keaton lost his wife years ago and aside from working the family business and spending time with his brothers, he’s been a bit of a recluse in town. Daisy has had a crush on Keaton for some time, but they’ve never spent much time together. Until they decide to join forces and help the homeless community that has overwhelmed their small town.

”I don't know how to do this, Daisy."
"Neither do I. Can we figure it out together?”

I loved the community aspect of the story, the family ties on both sides, and Daisy especially. She was just wonderful. It took Keaton more time to trust and come around- I wish he would have a little quicker but getting his perspective let us see what was really holding him back.

This can definitely be read as a stand-alone but I enjoy this world and these characters so much I would recommend checking out the others in this series! If you’re looking for a beautiful friends to lovers, small town romance that is sweet and charming with just enough emotion and angst pick this up!

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
