Carol [Goodreads Addict]'s Reviews > Sweeter than Honey

Sweeter Than Honey is book two in the Estes Park Shifters series by Liz Paffel. I loved the first book in this series, Bear in a Bakery. But me being me, I got distracted by something else and didn’t grab this when it came out. Well, I finally did and it was fantastic. This is Jett’s book.

Jett Mitchell is Dax’s brother from the first book. Jett lost his wife and daughter three years ago in an accident and he has never moved on from his grief. He spends more time than he should in his bear form, roaming the woods, to escape his grief instead of dealing with it. Jett lives in his home up on the mountain raising honey bees and some organic vegetables.



Cara Neal lives in Kansas City. She built her jewelry making business from scratch, winning the Entrepreneur of the Year award. A little too much celebrating led to a one night stand. Now she is faced with the results of that night, a baby on the way. But when Cara goes in search of the baby’s father to tell him, things don’t go as planned and Cara is forced to flee, leaving everything behind.

Cara ends up in Estes, Colorado and literally runs into Jett. He’s grumbly and broody and the hottest thing Cara has ever seen. She needs help and even though Jett wants nothing to do with anything but his bees up on his mountain, he just can’t seem to say no. He may not be able to offer Cara anything but protection but he would keep her safe.

“I guess that says a lot about your personality, huh? Nothing else can stand to be around you but a swarm of insects that’ll sting you when you get sassy.”

Try as they might to keep their feelings from growing, they do. But Jett is determined that he can’t be anything to Cara but a protector.

“Maybe this Estes Park pack would protect her from rogue shifters. But who was going to protect her from Jett?”



First, all of the covers for this series are amazing. It’s what first drew me to the first book. I love every one of them. Jett and Cara were wonderful. Both were at a point in their lives where they needed to let their pasts go and move forward. They were just what each other needed to help that process along. But there is danger lurking and Jett has to keep Cara safe long enough to figure out what he wants to do. Now I’m ready for the next book in the series, A Bear in a Bookstore, which is Jett and Dax’s brother, Desi’s book. I can’t wait to get started.
