About Honey & Spice:

Kiki Banjo is an expert on love and romance, calmly and firmly steering her friends away from the mess of ‘situationships’ and heartbreak – until she meets Malakai Korede. As the host of the popular student radio show, Brown Sugar, it is her mission to make sure the women who make up the Afro-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University also do not fall into

the mess of players and heartbreak.

But when Kiki meets the distressingly handsome and charming newcomer Malakai Korede - who she has publicly denounced as ‘The Wasteman of Whitewell’ - her defences are weakened and her heart is compromised. A clash embroils them in a fake relationship to salvage both their reputations and save their futures, and soon she finds herself in danger of falling for the very man she warned her girls about.

A side-splittingly funny and sparkling debut, Honey & Spice is full of delicious tension and romantic intrigue that will make you weak at the knees.
