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.

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.

This book. Wow. Just wow. I fell in love with Carter in Pink and Country and I did not think that I could fall more in love with him and I did not think that my heart could hurt more for him. This book completely proved me wrong. I loved learning more about Dahlia and knowing the way she felt for both Carter and Jeff and why she chose who she chose. I understood that not only did Carters heart break, but so did hers in so many ways too. She quickly became my girl crush for sure. Now this brings me to Jeff. Oh Jeff. I LOVED reading about you and learning your story. I fell for him just as hard as I did Carter. But boy did my heart break into a million pieces even knowing what was coming. The love these two shared (and the love the 3 of them had together) was by far the most precious and amazing gift anyone can give and receive. You keep me wanting more and more and I can not wait to dive into the next book. I might think I am ready for whatever roller coaster of emotions is coming, but I know that I will not.

This book left me heartbroken but in a good way. I think the constant changes of pace and the numerous heartbreaks that happened made the story tragic yet beautiful. The author is so talented in how she creates such a moving story. I loved this read

This story gives a wonderful insight into Dahlias story with Jeff which is something only mentioned in Pink and Country. It's wonderful to see their love story actually play out within a novel, allowing readers to get more details than we had from Pink and Country when it was brought up.

Prepare to have tissues on hand because this story definitely hits right in the emotions many times. I adore the characters that Emmanuelle Snow has created.
