Sweet Agony – A Contemporary Romance by Emmanuelle Snow

I met my soul mate when I was seven. He just happened to be my best friend’s older brother.

Jeff was never supposed to be that person for me. We were a trio—Carter, Jeff, and me—bound by scraped knees, late-night jam sessions, and dreams too big for our small-town streets. Then our band made it big before we could even vote, and suddenly, we were touring the world with guitars on our backs and secrets between our hearts.

But everything changed when Jeff enlisted. He came back someone I barely recognized—distant, haunted, and carrying more than just scars.
And yet, I couldn’t stop loving him.

Even when life pulled us in opposite directions.
Even when one impulsive mistake rewrote everything.

Now, the bond between us is frayed. Truths we've buried for years are clawing to the surface, and the fallout is threatening to destroy everything—our friendship, our band, our future.

They say some loves are destined. But what if ours is the kind that burns too bright to last?

This is a story about growing up, falling apart, and fighting like hell for the pieces that still matter.
Because sometimes, the person you’re meant to love is the one you’re most afraid of losing.

Sweet Agony is a standalone novel in the Carter Hills Band universe where coming of age romance meets women’s fiction,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.

NOTE: Revised and Expanded Edition (2025)

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.

I love this book, the love triangle between Dhalia, Jeff, and his brother Carter. On maintaining between Jeff and her fame and all it is so beautfiful

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.
