Honey Phillips

Honey Phillips is a USA Today bestselling author who’s mastered the art of combining steamy romance with thrilling science fiction. Her books are a thrilling ride through galaxies filled with alien warriors, fierce Earth women, and love that defies the stars. With her stories, readers are swept into universes where danger lurks, but passion always prevails, making her books a must-read for fans of intense romance with a sci-fi twist.

Honey’s passion for storytelling began early. At just five years old, she penned and illustrated her first book—a creation that, while brimming with imagination, lacked a certain polish in the art department. Thankfully, her writing skills have since evolved into a fine-tuned craft, while her drawing remains… well, let's just say, she prefers to leave that to others. Writing is her true calling, and she has spent years honing her craft, blending the excitement of sci-fi with the allure of romance in a way that captivates her readers.

Known for her Alien Abduction, Treasured by the Alien, and Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers series, Honey’s books are as much about fierce alien warriors as they are about the strong, relatable women who capture their hearts. Her stories are built on the thrilling premise of abductions and intergalactic invasions, but at their core, they’re about connection, love, and overcoming obstacles—whether they’re from another planet or the human heart.

Outside of her writing, Honey enjoys the simpler pleasures of life: reading, traveling, cooking, and, of course, savoring a glass of champagne—though not necessarily in that order. She’s a homebody at heart, but she dreams of visiting all seven continents. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll pet a squirrel or two along the way.

With each new release, Honey Phillips continues to captivate her growing fanbase. Whether you're a long-time reader or new to her work, her tales of passion, adventure, and the kind of romance that reaches across the stars will keep you turning pages well into the night. You can keep up with her latest books and musings by visiting her website or following her on Instagram.

If you’re looking for a wild ride with a satisfying, steamy ending, dive into Honey Phillips’ galaxy. You won’t be disappointed.

The Five Kingdoms

In the sprawling world of The Five Kingdoms, power, passion, and treachery weave together in a captivating tapestry of adventure and romance. Set across five distinct realms, each ruled by a unique monarch, this series immerses readers in a world where alliances are as fragile as glass and loyalty can be a deadly game. Magic pulses through every corner of this land, and the politics of the kingdoms are as unpredictable as the winds themselves.

The story begins with a mysterious prophecy that foretells the rise of a hero who could unite the fractured kingdoms—or see them fall to ruin. But the path to unity is never simple. As the characters navigate a world full of intrigue and shifting allegiances, they must grapple not only with their desires but also with the shadows of their pasts and the complex relationships that define their futures.

At the heart of The Five Kingdoms is a cast of fiercely independent and multi-dimensional characters, each with their own burdens to carry and secrets to keep. From a reluctant princess caught between duty and love to a battle-hardened prince struggling with his sense of honor, the characters face not only external threats but also the very personal stakes of choosing who they can trust—and who they can love.

The world-building is rich and immersive, with each kingdom offering its own unique culture, traditions, and magical abilities. Readers will journey through the icy realms of the North, the sun-drenched deserts of the South, and everything in between. But no matter where the story leads, the stakes are always high, and the choices made could determine the fate of all the kingdoms.

With its blend of political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes adventure, The Five Kingdoms is a series that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly turning the pages to uncover what happens next. The blend of magic, power struggles, and heart-pounding moments makes this an unforgettable journey into a world where not everything is as it seems, and even the most unlikely alliances could change the fate of an entire world.


The Five Kingdoms consists of five primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.

I enjoyed this newest book in the Five Kingdoms series and the chance to get to know Egon better as well as the occasional scene with his brothers Wulf and Lothar. I enjoyed getting to know Lyric in this book and thought her and Egon made a nice couple and was glad with how things worked out for them. While this book can be read as a standalone since they each focus on a new couple but they are better when read as a series since they all connect and have another storyline in the background that continues as the series progresses. I am looking forward to reading Ulric & Jessamin's story in The Orc's Princess Bride.
