Garden Kisses

by Fallynn West

Blossom Emerson
No longer having any fight left in her, Blossom sneaks away in the middle of the night to flee from her abusive boyfriend, Rex. The man who was supposed to love and protect her, after the passing of her mother, flipped the switch and made her his enemy. Finally, she’s safe with her best friend, Tierra, and her family, but trauma makes her timid and unaffectionate. No one knows how to approach her without her panicking except for Tierra’s cousin, Law.

Lawson Fletcher
Changing his life for his family, Law steps away from the streets and produces two legal Garden Kisses for his mother, and Lawfully Brewed for himself. For years, his family and businesses have been his focus, but after he meets Blossom, it’s like love at first sight. The yearning to love and protect her grows heavier with each encounter they have. Just when he finally breaks down the walls she has built, the unthinkable happens.

Life for them both changes in the blink of an eye, tearing them apart. Blossom blames herself for the separation and begins to retreat to her old ways. Despite the weed growing in the middle of their garden, Law is determined to show Blossom why weeds can be beauty in the chaos.

It was okay

[Toya Davis-Stokley · Rating 4 out of 5]

We meet Blossom as Tierra, her best friend, rescues her from an abusive relationship. Rex has left Blossom emotionally and physically scarred, breaking her down until she fears almost everything and can barely tolerate being touched. Tierra, who loves her deeply, is relieved when Blossom finally leaves the toxic situation. Her priorities are welcoming Blossom into her home, helping her settle into a new job, and giving her the time and space she needs to heal.

Law is healing too, after leaving the streets behind and recovering from a breakup. Although his life is going well, he longs for someone to share it with. The moment he sees Blossom; he feels his prayers may finally be answered. Law quickly recognizes how guarded she is because of her trauma and knows he must be patient. As they slowly build a relationship, their chemistry begins to simmer. Just as Blossom starts finding herself again, her past comes knocking. When things escalate, Law has to tap back into his street side to handle the situation.

I’m so happy that there was a positive outcome. That dangerous, and reckless move that Blossom pulled could have ended up way worse!

I Promise To Be Patient!

I truly enjoyed the growth of the FMC, Blossom and the pacing of the story. She endured so much hurt, loss, and trauma only to continue to have live in so much fear. Law was perfect. He was patient, he studied her to learn about her fears and comfortably. She learned to trust him and he built a true bond with her. He was trustworthy and meant every word he said to her including loving and protecting her. He helped build her up in her weak places and began to help her feel safe and secure. Blossom’s past was no match for a future designed with her and Law in mind.

From The Beginning

I was really feeling this story from the beginning to the end. Blossom was truly blessed to have a true friend to stick by her no matter what she was going through.

Blossom journey to healing came with finding new strengths she never knew she had.

Lawson was that guy. He was forthright, patient, loyal trustworthy. I !over how he had no problem claiming Blossom right out the gate.

Toward the end it got explosive, but I got my happy ending.

MAGNIFICENT READ!!

Ok I understand that her ex fucked up her mental but got damn she pissed me tf off when she ain’t tell Law what was going on ! SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️

Lawson was definitely a protector and good lover, from the first time seeing her he knew he was gonna fall for her ! I enjoyed seeing Law and Tiera’s relationship ain’t nothing like that favorite cousin love !

I am so glad Blossom was able to find the family she prayed for 🥰 && so glad Tierra never gave up on her!

& to the 2 ninjas that thought they could play smh 🤦🏽‍♀️ hope you have fun with the devil 😈

Whew, what a story! "Abuse Is Never Okay"! What a true friend Blossom had in Tierra to rescue her from the abuser and welcome her into her family.

Lawson was just the man Blossom needed to help her slowly heal. She had a lot of work to do on herself because that ex did a number on her. They had a love connection that simmered and grew slowly but quickly. Their chemistry was fire 🔥.

I'm just glad how this story ended.

Emotional Journey

This was a short read and it was very engaging. Blossom had a very emotional healing journey and Law was her perfect match. This was a beautiful story about finding light in the darkness and growth through trials. This was my first book from this author and i would definitely read more!

Lawson was the truth

Now when your friend say her and her family got you, believe her. Don't get in your head when the villain show their ugly head. Lawson had you Blossom and you didn't put your trust in him like you did your body.

I am just to say that he is my new little boo. Present for everyone that was family and rode at dawn for everyone.

Garden Kisses

Ooh Lawson is the man. He is a sweet, gentle giant until he's not. Rex f@#$_& around and found out!

Blossom had been going through until she decided to runaway with her bestie Tierra. Tierra took her to her home where she would be safe. She met Law and the rest is history.

They were a few bumps in the road, but as always, love always wins.

Beautiful 😂 😍 🤩

Wow! This was my first read by this author and I fell in love with her writing. The story was so beautiful as well as the character, the plo, the storyline, the feels.
I can't wait to read another book by her.

A HEA…. After hell…
My only beef was her not including Law on the messages. I feel like that would have saved a few of those moments and ended the villains sooner.
TW had me all in my feels and 💐💐💐💐 for Tierra. She was 💯 from day one.
MMC ✅ and family ✅✅
FMC 💜💙

Great Story

This story is raw, relatable and heartwarming. I just wished the s*x scenes were a bit more explicit and longer but otherwise, great story!
