*****FIVE STARS *****Like Honey opens with a romantic scene of flashing colors in a candlelit ballroom and men in kilts at the Mead Makers Masked Ball!  Who wouldn’t  love that?Widow, Jennifer D’Amico is struggling to emerge from her grief over the loss of her husband, Ren, who was killed two months after their marriage.  At the ball she has taken notice of a mysterious man in a leafy green mask, and she finds her dormant desires awakening.  A kiss in a moonlit Scottish garden takes Jennifer out of herself as the snow falls around them.  She and the mystery man are interrupted before they can consummate their tryst much to the frustration of both.Jennifer is overwhelmed by living in a drafty one hundred year old stone farmhouse and the responsibilities of trying to save the failing honey farm she inherited from her husband.  The business had been plagued by generations of poor management.  There are weird happenings on the estate— financial difficulties and mysterious late night noises.  The problems seem more than one person can handle.Along comes Grayson McGhilly to the rescue.  The handsome, virile master beekeeper seems to be the answer to her prayers, but there’s something off with him.  Unknown to Jennifer, Gray  is an American Homeland Security agent undercover sent to investigate her and the D’Amico family business.  They are suspected of drug running through the export of honey to China.  Jennifer’s attraction to Grayson is obvious but he doubts his ability to settle down and sustain a relationship with one woman.  His unfortunate history with his boss and ex-girlfriend, Kasey, has him spooked.  After they become intimate he feels guilty and wants to tell her the truth but Kasey will not allow him to break cover.The intrigue and romance continue with an attack against Jennifer, a beautiful trip to France for a beekeeping conference, sabotage against a colony of Jen’s bees, the apparent suicide of Jen’s stalker, and sexy honey tasting scenes.When the truth about Gray’s real job comes out, Jennifer feels betrayed.  Can they save their sex-only relationship and build it into something more?  Can these two people burdened with some serious baggage have a happy ever after?It was fun to learn a little bit about commercial beekeeping and a joy to visit the beautiful Scottish countryside.  This is a classy, tasteful erotic romance with a good story, lots of plot twists and turns, and some really good sex.  I highly recommend it.  – Skye Michaels
