Flower People

by Ashley Claire

When wild-at-heart Jess lands her dream job at a boutique flower shop in the big city, she’s ready to turn over a new leaf. To truly celebrate, she spends a magical evening out on the town with her besties, and ends up in bed with a handsome hunk who feels like fate. But her spontaneous one-night stand with a charming stranger ends with her being kicked to the curb faster than a wilted daisy.

She thought what they had was special, but Jess will find someone else, she always does.

Except fate isn’t done with her yet. Because the man who kicked her out with no explanation? He's her infuriatingly handsome new boss, and a single dad who’s sworn off love. She can’t even look him in the eyes, yet she has to spend every day with him.

Now Jess has to will she nip it in the bud before it costs her everything, or take the risk and see if this unexpected romance can blossom into something real?

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Coffee People and have been so excited for Jess to get her ow story. I went in blind, not knowing any tropes so or made me so happy to see single dad. I truly believe you can’t go wrong with a single dad trope but when you add in the cutest found family the author created- swoooon. I loved the daughter, Jules, the continuous acts of fate bringing the main characters together, and the grumpy nosey neighbor Phyllis. I prayed for them to get past their banter for a deeper relationship and it didn’t disappoint. There was spice in this one despite the deceiving animated cover but definitely nothing over the top. Super cute, quick read and set y nicely for the next characters to get their own story. I loved it and binged it in a day -highly recommend ❤️
