Hearts in Bloom

by Kelly McCrady

If only love could be as easy as pollinating flowers in the greenhouse.

A failed romance drives horticulturist Ivy McVey to give up grad school and return home to her family’s commercial flower business. When a woman storms into the flower shop and orders a ratty-looking bouquet of dead flowers to be delivered to a man named CJ, Ivy has to know who this guy is. Her adherence to the Victorian language of flowers charms CJ Wilson, a handsome marketing consultant, who offers online marketing opportunities in exchange for a date. Ivy must put aside cynicism born of past hurts and look past the shiny car to see the man—is he as perfect as he seems?

SO not for me. Sample gave me hope but then the book bored me to tears with talk of dirt, plants, seeds, etc., the h wallowing in the past, the long descriptive outing to the roller skating rink and so on. ZZZZZ.
