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.

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.

Elodie Perry is poised to be the small screen’s newest “It Girl”. Following the mega-success of the last time they worked together, it’s a no-brainer to bring her back in front of a camera with Shaw Bridges. The audience had plenty to say about their smoking hot chemistry on-screen, but their real-life romance was kept strictly behind the scenes.

Angie is taking a serious break from dating. At least, she thought she was until she comes across the finest man she’s ever seen — the new handyman in her building. Angie knows what she wants in a man, and Law doesn't seem to be it. But that doesn’t mean she can’t get to know him, right? Law is focused on rebuilding his life as a free man. That rebuild doesn’t include getting involved with anyone, especially not the bougie girl at his job who always needs something fixed.

I’m a wolf who can’t shift, and because of that, I’ve been treated like nothing my entire life. I was tired of it—tired of staying in a place where I was constantly overlooked. The night I decided to leave it all behind, I found him—broken, bloody, and abandoned in the woods. I broke the rules and snuck him back to his side of the territory, knowing it could cost me my life. I wasn’t expecting him to want to get to know me. We’re from different packs, packs that have been on the verge of war for as long as I can remember. But despite it all, I fall fast and hard for him.

Luca Torres, a struggling journalism graduate, never meant to take a vow of celibacy. It was just a dumb idea from a job interview gone wrong. He never thought they'd approve the article. Or make his future career conditional on delivering it. Now, with no choice but to steer clear of temptation for the summer, he takes the most isolated job he can find: a fire lookout in the rural and picturesque mountains of Washington State.

Playing a lead role in a book-to-movie adaptation with a wild fan base? Sign me up! The only downside is that I'm cast alongside Jacoby "Heartthrob" Hart—Hollywood's golden boy. If only they knew he was an uppity, pompous snob. We don't get along, and if you're reading the tabloids, you'd assume it was because I "stole" his girlfriend, but they have it all wrong. Jacoby and his cold shoulder started this, and now we're set to play lovers. The only thing I'd love to do is strangle him, but I'm a professional.

A Human Experience
Being a Black man in America has its own set of difficulties. Add being a gay Black man in the 1950s and you have the makings of Sweet Honesty.
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.

PERFECTION
Joan Vassar's "Sweet Honesty” is a gem of a novel, set in the tumultuous 1950s, and is a heartfelt exploration of love in its many forms. From the innocent and pure to the strong and secure, the narrative captures the essence of what it means to truly love and be loved in a world of challenges. "Sweet Honesty" is more than just a love story; it's a tapestry woven with threads of authenticity, vulnerability, and resilience.
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.

Something different
So for me, I really enjoy that this book was based in a certain time. What is really not spoke about, and I would love to know if the author knew our conjured story up from someone that she spoke to who had to live that way at those times, specially at the Jim Crow time. I do hate and this is a personal thing of how you had to just be closet and my feelings of suppression throughout this book was real so overall I give it five stars even though I wish they could’ve had a moment where they joined hands, even though they would’ve got killed

I really enjoyed the reader; I felt every emotion. At one point, I hoped nothing bad would happen. I was on the edge of my seat, but the writer did well by keeping it in a positive place.

Heartfelt Love Story
The narration was wonderful and at times a bit emotional. The story included bits of historical information many African Americans may not be familiar with, for example the “The Green Book” used for traveling.
I just have one issue - “where is book 2?”
