My Thoughts on Bitter Honey:
I have read the two books that come before this one, Uniquely Common and Remi, and I loved them so much! Really, I’ve been waiting for this book to come out because I needed to know what else happened! Samantha was so precocious in the other books and it was fun to watch her grow and age and find herself. But now it’s been years and we get to pop back into her life!
When Silas stopped writing to Samantha I wasn’t sure if we’d hear from him again. I mean, I knew that Samantha would be thrilled but I also wondered what had happened. Why had he stopped writing? He seemed so besotted by her but then boom no more letters. I really felt that something happened and hoped that we’d find out what!
So many stories within one book and I really enjoyed finding out what was going to happen with Samantha and Silas. The new characters that were introduced are well-loved as well and now I’m ready for the story to continue in the next book.
This is a book and an entire series that I can highly recommend. You’re going to love them! And, personally, I think this series is an okay one for teenagers to read as well. It’s clean and there aren’t very many references that I feel they shouldn’t know. This book probably has the most risque things in it with the ex-prostitute.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Caryl
Are you ready to revisit the Adams and Corbin families (from UNIQUELY COMMON and REMI)? Five years have passed, so it’s 1853, and life has gone on.
Samantha, only fourteen back then, wrote faithfully to Silas back in New Orleans as she travelled west on the Oregon/California Trail. She expected a tall stack of letters waiting on her at the General Store in Napa, but alas there were none.
BITTER HONEY is a story of puppy love time tries to dissipate, but Samantha never forgot Silas—or forgave him either! Though she had no way of knowing what tragic events had kept him from mailing the return missives, he never quit thinking of the beautiful girl who’d written of her love for him.
However, each day that passed only made it harder for him to write. Until he decided only a face-to-face talk would suffice, he worked with the man who’d always loved his mother, Claude, to rebuild his family’s vineyard, catching gators on the side.
This story has a second love story, that of Claude and the prostitute he rescues Odette, so there’s plenty of action to keep readers flipping pages. A story of first love and late, second-chance love with a taste of the Cajun life in Louisiana, BITTER HONEY is about restoration and following God’s will.
I hope you enjoy BITTER HONEY and all the other Lockets and Lace stories!
BLESSINGS!
