Honey & Spice

Honey & Spice is gorgeously written and heart-meltingly romantic. Kiki and Malakai have a rare, extraordinary, sizzling chemistry which has you rooting for their love story from the very first moment they cross paths. A triumph of a novel. * Beth O’Leary *Honey & Spice is unapologetically romantic and really sexy. I could not have loved it more. * Marian Keyes *Kiki compares her feelings for Malakai as like swallowing a star. That’s a bit how I felt after reading this messy but joyful book. * The Times *This is a fast-paced commercial novel with a refreshing take on a well-worn concept. Someone should adapt it for the screen. * The Sunday Times *Sparkling and self-assured… Babalola really captures the heady infatuation of first love. * The i Paper *Charming and funny. * The Observer *Bolu is one of the laugh-out-loud funniest and sharpest of writers working today. I fell in love with Kiki and the whole line-up of loveable characters. It’s smart, sexy, energetic and sums up the realness of being attracted to someone you didn’t necessarily expect. I’m excited for everyone to read this book. * Emma Gannon *This book had me screaming from page one! Bolu understands desire better than anyone else and in Honey & Spice it prickles under every word. This book is so addictive it had me reading it even after I’d got off the bus. * Annie Lord *
