About this listen
Atlanta, Georgia, 1950–Michael can’t believe his eyes as he watches the man he loves marry a woman from the back row of Mount Zion Baptist Church. When the beautiful couple is pronounced man and wife, he leaves his home in Georgia for the chance of a better life in New York City.
Alexander is just trying to exist in Queens, New York. Although his family is aware of his unnatural attraction to men, they adore him. The price of hiding his true identity from the rest of the world leads to a deep and painful loneliness for Alex, even in the bosom of a loving family.
When Michael’s life collides with Alexander’s world, both men are afraid to trust. Sweet Honesty is an African American M/M romance that provides a glimpse of black love from a different lens and time.

Controversial relationship podcaster at night and psychology professor by day, Chicago Benton has never been afraid to follow his own rules. Raised by an emotionally unstable mother and dealing with women who played too many games taught him only to depend on himself. Love was only optional. Striving playwright Indigo Lyriq moved to New York on a wing and a prayer that her work would be seen on a Broadway stage one day. Raised by an aunt because her parents didn't want her, and dealing with an abusive relationship taught her to never rely on a man. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford.

Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination. He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I'd sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own thriving businesses, and self-obtained wealth. However, the Ellis family was known for their long underbelly ruling of the state of New Jersey.

There was a slight chance he’d still want me, only he had to accept our baby, too.

Story
My ex taking our daughters to Disneyland is his latest way to prove Dad Rules and Mom Sucks. While they're riding roller coasters, I'm taking a trip of my own—a long deserved island getaway for one. And I'm letting my oldest's swim coaches stay at my place while we're all gone, and their apartment is fumigated. Except a last minute work emergency means I'm stuck at home, rather than lying on a beach enjoying the view.

Story
He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

I’m the darling of Australian TV. A good-girl actress with a spotless record. Or at least, that’s what I let the public believe. But what I do behind closed doors would shock them all. I’m a far cry from the girl next door I play on their screens each night.

The longing suspense was amazing!

Reading M/M romance isn’t my norm, but one thing I’ve learned as a fan of Joan Vassar, her writing is thoughtful, considerate and well-researched, no matter the subject matter. Her work always leaves you with a better knowledge and sense of understanding than you had when you started. And dare I say, a better person! And Sweet Honesty… be still my heart! Oh this book is so amazing. Top Tier! Understanding the depths and complexities of self-discovery, acceptance, companionship, and family coupled with navigating the legalities and preconceived notions through the lens of Alex and Michael’s love was a beautiful, eye-opening experience. This book humanized these characters in a such a way that I feel allows this community to truly feel seen.
And can I say how Sean Crisden DELIVERED? Perfect narration! I said now how does Joan have me wanting to watch pxxn hub (for research lol) & the History channel in the same book! lol I’m lowkey jealous of Mikey because Alex is absolutely SWOONY!!! And if you’re a true fan, you know she gave us a spoiler glimpse into another series, and I so love that we got to peek inside their future. So many laughs, so many nuggets, and so much love!
This book was EVERYTHING! She absolutely nailed this.
A Human Experience

The story skillfully transitions the narrative from a same-sex romance to a broader awareness of personal growth and overcoming obstacles. As I read, the story became less about two males and more about the love between two individuals that encourages readers to embrace love in all its forms and challenges societal perceptions about acceptance.
The emotional depth, raw openness, passionate sensuality, and eroticism shows honest and beautiful toe curling sex scenes, belonging, devotion and the innocence of exploring life through new experiences is captivating, drawing readers into their world.
Joan Vassar's storytelling exceeds expectations, creating a rare and cherished bond between Michael and Alexander that resonates deeply. If you're looking for a book that not only entertains but also inspires and challenges you to think differently about love and relationships, "Sweet Honesty" is a must-read. Let it sweep you off your feet. It's a love-infused journey that will leave you wishing for a world as accepting and beautiful as the one depicted in the book. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down!
The narration:
Sean Crisden, Sir, your flowers have arrived 🌸💐🌺🌷🌼. Your performance is stellar, you have effortlessly spoken emotion and passion into these character and this story. Bravo!
Trei Taylor, Ma’am, I have been a fan and although your parts were small, this performance you gave was big. Your tone and passion put into the women portrayed the love, protection and emotion beautifully. I hope you will be the female voice for “Bitter Sweet” so your star can shine brighter.

The past meets the current climate yet again.
This woven story shares the times of a couple in love that find themselves trying hard to be free to love and share that Love openly no matter the cost and sacrifice, for they share a forbidden Love.
Ms. Vassar has yet again dared to open the vault of informing her readers of history.
This time in giving the readers a story and subject line, that will forever be against the grain and fiber of an uncomfortable society... yet embraces the fact- that love is still love and being true to ones self is the key to life.
My hat is off to the narrator's --the work of blending voices to create good Art -was a compliment to the body of work. 👏
It is the storytelling for me!
