Flowers are my life, but I never thought they'd bring me to my soulmate.

I am a florist at the flower shop my father built from the ground up. Flowers are a family business and I have always loved my job. And I especially love it on the day Catherine shows up...
She is this stunningly beautiful woman who is looking to buy flowers for her wedding. I know that nothing is ever going to happen between us because, of course, she's straight and engaged. But that doesn't keep my mind from drifting to thoughts of her. I just pray I can hide it well enough because I don't want to lose this friendship.

I'm so glad to have finally made a friend in this city.

Ever since me and my college sweetheart Johnathon moved a few months ago, I haven't been able to make many friends. And I found myself desperately missing my friends from home. But then the florist for our wedding invites me out to a girl's night, and of course I said yes!

And I do not regret it. Ellie is so much fun. I can't believe I just happened to meet her while looking to buy flowers. She is on track to be my new best friend, we're bonding so quickly. Which is good, because the way things are going with Johnathon, it looks like I might need a friend.

This is a standalone lesbian romance novel with HEA ending!

I really don't know with this one - it felt hurriedly put together, editing needed a closer look, the story was linear and predictable... and I'm never sure about straight girls... I'm talking myself into a 3* review but it was what it was, made no pretensions of grandeur, so flops into 4*. Begrudgingly!

Fun

This was a cute short story to read. I liked the characters and really liked Ruth. Sometimes it is tough not to follow the path you expect in life.

Great love story

I enjoyed the story and the character interactions. After reading a sample, the story was interesting enough for me to pay 5 dollars to read the whole book. I usually dont do this. I generally take advantage of my kindle unlimited membership. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because the sex was nearly non existent. The romance novels I usually read need to have a great story and great sex otherwise it feels like something is missing. That was the only negative I had though.

Confused! Unsure! Frustrated!

The author has created a story about decisions to be made or not. Does a person who thinks that the person she is supposed to get married to is suppose to remain true to them? But comes home early and discovers not everything is rosy. In debt talk within discovers they have sacrificed enough and wants to to investigate. Enjoy! ( who is Paige in chapter 21?)

Cute

This a cute story be I'm sure you'll enjoy. Ellie is the owner of a flower shop and is the sweetest. Catherine is a gorgeous bride who had problems with her fiance, she had no friends in the city, that's how her friendship start. There's some typos and mistaken identities along the way but otherwise is worth reading. I recommend it.

Sweet read

You never know what life has in store for you. Here we see Catherine trying to buy the flowers for her wedding be herself but little did she know that Ellie's Flower shop was gonna change her future. Never saw her true love coming.
Like I said this is a very sweet read.

First story was marvelous

Cat and Ellie were great main characters they felt very real with the situation they were in. Straight woman and lesbian being friends is not uncommon but their personal lives is what made their relationship different. The author wrote the story portraying a real life romance that was a little unusual. Great story

The cover caught my attention thinking it was a love story about florists. I should have read the description of the book prior. The story line was easy to follow but didn’t grasp my attention I mainly skimmed to finish.

Sweet HEA. One minor quibble is that Catherine goes from straight and engaged to happily gay in an extremely short period of time; certainly possible, but strains credulity.
