FOR Michele Lee Sefton:
First A Deibide Baise Fri Toin, Then A Book Review


My Amazon Review:

Honeysuckle Heat: captivating prose, engrossing story. Stellar.

Honeysuckle Heat, A novella by Michele Lee Sefton published in the summer of
2024 is perfect for the season of entitlements we seem to be stuck in as a society.

I’ve purchased and read a few novellas and chapbooks by this Author and admire her
style. In Honeysuckle Heat, the storytelling is not forced nor rushed and flows at an
easy pace that mesmerized me—mainly the descriptive prose—for which this Author
excels.

From Chapter One onwards, get ready to melt with the loveliness of the words. In
whatever mood you find yourself in the beauty within the pages will right you.

The story is engrossing. Who doesn’t love a steadfast young lady set on climbing the
ladder of success? At all costs and means. But as tends to happen, such fierceness,
tunnel vision, sometimes blinds one to important human kindnesses, rendering one
incompatible in areas that require reciprocation. Selfish. Which is what happened to
the young, attractive, and able lady in this story.

Honeysuckle Heat: captivating prose.

In Honeysuckle Heat, we are served a good helping of what romance looks like in
this modern age. I followed the timeline closely and gasped at the details that pages
into the book peeled the layers to hints that gave me something like pause, but more
than that, they made me feel conflicted. Mostly because I know that love is a two-way
street. I felt cheated when I found the goings-on one-sided. Yet I gave the story all the
respect it deserved. And I found genius as I kept turning the pages to arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion. 

I truly enjoyed this novella that twisted in the right direction and I’m sure readers will
be equally satisfied. I highly recommend this novella.

THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW.
I HOPE YOU’RE INTRIGUED.
