By: Emily Waters

An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about finding heart, hope, and second chances you never thought you'd have.

Stella Carter is a former criminal prosecutor and new widow facing down middle age alone in Los Angeles. Without being a prestigious lawyer and someone's wife, she's not sure who she is anymore or where her life is headed.

When she invites her niece to move in with her, Stella accidentally reconnects with her former colleague, LAPD Captain Elizabeth Murphy. The woman is beautiful but cold; someone she was always at odds with on the job.

Surprisingly, Stella finds herself leaning on her niece and Elizabeth more and more to navigate her loss. But as time goes on, Stella can't keep seeing Elizabeth and pretending she's not attracted to her. Besides, there's absolutely no way Elizabeth feels the same way. Is there?

Contains mature themes.

Honey in the Marrow is a heartwarming story.

The realistic, lovable women characters kept me riveted. I couldn’t stop listening to the narration. I especially enjoyed the multiple-generation aspect. Great summertime and bedtime listen.

Love this book!

The book spoke to me, I could connect with so much of the story. This will be a book I will listen to again and again. Ms.Watley did a fabulous job narrating and bringing the characters to life. Ms. Waters, this is a wonderful book!

Kinda depressing

The story is incredibly realistic and deals with themes such as death, depression and grief. It’s not exactly a romance novel but instead a deep story with romance on the back burner. It’s life.

Gorgeous

You can count on the author and the narrator not to let you down. Looking forward to Waters next book!

Amorous Mature Women

It says it is an enemies to friends to loveers story, but were they really enemies? Yes they had their issues when they work together, but there was an instant attraction as well.

Stella falls into a deep hole after her husband dies. When she sees Elizabeth again she runs. Stella's niece gets close to Elizabeth and the two women do start becoming friends. What's hard for Stella is that she has always been attracted to Elizabeth and falls for her, but feels that Elizabeth is straight and doesn't feel the same way. You would think with everything Elizabeth is doing that Stella would figure it out, but she doesn't. She finds the negative in things.

For these mature women in their early 50s and 60s, the mature content I give 🌶️🌶️🌶️.
I'm in my sixties and while I could be as Amorous as them, I don't think I could get in some of the positions they play with for long.
