Publisher Description
★★★★★ “If I could give more than 5 stars, I would." (Goodreads)
★★★★★ “This is not a romance, it is a story about first love, first heartbreak and growing up. It is a story that helps to build foundation upon who someone is at their core, and what makes them strong, vulnerable, loving, caring and heartbroken but willing to take chances and learn to love again.” (Goodreads)
What happens when you fall in love with the wrong person who happens to be your best friend’s older brother? A compelling story of love and friendship that will tug at your heartstrings. Sweet Agony is perfect for fans of Jennifer Hartmann, Paige Toon, Rebecca Yarros, and Mia Sheridan.
As a rule-following teenager, Dahlia Ellis never imagined that falling for the wrong person would set off a roller coaster of emotions and consequences. She should have stayed away from Jeff, her best friend's older brother, but she never couldn't resist him. Shattering her best friend's heart—the one person who has stood by her since childhood—left them both with scars that only time can heal. Jeff Hills never planned to fall for his brother’s best friend, nor for the ensuing dilemma. Yet, despite the chaos in his life, their relationship is the only certainty he holds onto.
As they grow older and Dahlia's life takes her across the globe and Jeff enlists, they must learn to navigate their new reality and relationship while living thousands of miles apart, and embrace the highs and lows of love, learning to listen to their hearts. What starts as a simple attraction turns into a whirlwind romance fueled by passion and secrets that could break them. Just when they think they have it all figured out, life throws an unexpected curveball that threatens to tear them apart for good.
Can their love withstand the trials and tribulations that come their way, and can Jeff and Dahlia survive the ordeals life throws at them?
Sweet Agony is a standalone novel and the first installment of the Whiskey Melody series and Dahlia Ellis’s prequel story. It can be read by itself or before Cruel Destiny.
Customer Reviews
A brilliant backstory - just make sure you read Pink and Country first!
I completely and totally adored book 1 (Pink and Country), in the Carter Hills Band series, so I knew coming into Princess and Country that this was the back story, or flash back, telling about Carter and Dahlia growing up as best friends, and how she and Carter’s big brother Jeff, fell in love, got married, had a baby, and totally broke Carter’s heart through the entire thing…
We also knew a few other tidbits of information about how this book was going to end - that someone coming fresh to this book wouldn’t know and would likely throw their book or kindle across the room when they find out. Even knowing in advance, it was still a lot of difficult reading.
As with the first book, it had Emmanuelle’s brilliant writing and storytelling, but is a far shorter story - and I didn’t want it to end (or maybe I just didn’t want to come to the end I knew was coming, more likely)! It’s absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to go back to the current timeline and more character’s stories!
Thank you, Emmanuelle, for an ARC copy of Princess and Country! Everything here is my honest review and feedback.
Emotionally good
