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.
