I'm doomed... Doomed I tell you.... Wanna know why? Because the more books I have... The more I want... Crazy, right?
This particular lady has me wrapped around her fingers, because just a glimpse of a new book and I'm always eager to get it. I need them because every single book from her made me see things in a way that's beautiful and amazing.
Fifi Flowers is an amazing writer. Her books made me dream and I guarantee you that they will make the same thing to you. Her writing is simple, pretty detailed, full of love, happiness, desire and sexiness... Oh boy!
Unexpected Bliss is her latest release and tells the stories of Saffron and Laird and all book is switched between their points of views.
Saffron has her life all planed for. Find the perfect guy, fall in love, get married and live happily ever after but sometimes that's not easy. She had seen the love her patents had for each other so she wanted the same to her. She is a wedding planner and owns a business with her two best friends. Until a business trip...
Laird is the eternal bachelor. No relationship for him because that's a prison that he doesn't want to attend again. He thought he had found love but that didn't work so no more. Oh so he thought... His goal, since he was a kid, was to continue to explore his family business. Being into the hotel business was in his blood and he loved it. When he agreed to attend to one of his closest friends wedding he couldn't imagine what he was about to face.
Beautiful. That's the word that describes this book to me. It was the word that appear on my mind after I read "the end".
The plot is amazing, beautiful, sweet, super engaging and very well written. The way the story progressed left me wanting more and more. The interation between the characters is sweet, hot and beautiful.
Of course that every great story needs to have a bit of drama and that is the cherry on top of the cake for me.
Oh Fifi you're amazing and this book showed just that. Now hurry up with the next book from this series. You know why... Just give it to me.

Unexpected Bliss was the perfect hot read! I swear every male character created by Fifi is on my book boyfriend list. Laird is NO exception.

Saffron and Laird meet at a wedding where Saffron is the wedding planner. While at the wedding Saffron breaks ALL her wedding planner rules. What are those rules? You’ll have to READ. This where ALL the fun starts. Laird is divorced and has no desire to ever be in a committed relationship ever again. However after meeting Saffron, Laird starts to have feels that’s he’s never felt in his life.

Unexpected Bliss is a book that will suck you in and keep you hooked until the very last page. So if you’re looking for cute hot quick read the one click. You won’t be disappointed.

Unexpected Bliss was a short read that I absolutely LOVED! Saffron Courbe is basically an OCD woman who likes lists, and everything matching, which made me love her so much! She's an up and coming wedding planner, due to her amazing attention to detail, not to mention, her two other best friends, that share the business with her. Nowhere on her lists had Laird Hayes' name on them, and yet, they had drunk sex, exchanged no phone numbers, with an unexpected baby as a parting gift of their hot night together. This was an amazing story that had all the feels to it. Laird wasn't a manwhore with women everywhere, so already, I loved him. And the ever list making Saffron, was a woman after my own heart. Together, they were so much fun together, especially, when she put him through the paces. Fifi Flowers, with her talented writing style, wrote another wonderful story that I will read over & over again, plus, CANNOT wait to read Saffron's bestie's stories too! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I love that this is going to be a series, but each story will have its own ending. This is Saffron’s story. Three best friends, Saffron, London, and Savannah have their own bridal shop which is so much more. I loved Saffron probably because I understand her. She is very organized, has lists, checks her lists all the time, and feels that she has to follow the rules. The one time she doesn’t follow the rules, she gets stressed out. The good thing that came out of her unusual personality, she meets Laird. Laird has been down on weddings after his failed marriage, but comes to his best friends wedding that Saffron is handling. I loved how as soon as he saw Saffron, he knew he wanted to be with her. I kept wanting to read what happened as misunderstandings take place. Saffron’s friends all have different personalities that take what happens with Saffron differently. I loved hearing them give her advice. I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:

Fifi Flowers brings us a new exquisite and charming romance that brought plenty of smiles to my face and had my heart full and happy with steamy scenes, fabulous characters and alluring storyline! I fell madly for Unexpected Bliss. Charming, sweet, with plenty of sexy moments and also unexpected ones that added more spice to the story.

One of my favorite things about this book was the cover. It popped because it was so beautiful and stylish. And the characters were the second. They were well developed and quite fascinating while the story is what really took my breath away. For those that are just getting started with Fifi Flowers, I would definitely recommend Unexpected Bliss. Its easy to love and I am sure it will have you eagerly reaching for her other books.

Unexpected Bliss gets a DREAMY FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

Best Laid Plans – Sometimes need to be changed!!! 4.5 stars

Meet Saffron; Wedding planner, list maker and person with a plan. When she is inordinately attracted to a wedding guest after a breakup and follows through on that attraction; all her rules go out the window.

Laird is not a fan of weddings, as his resulted in a divorce a year later; but he attends to support his friends. When he catches sight of the wedding planner he knows he must pursue her. Once the wedding is over Laird has no way to contact Saffron when she sneaks away the next morning – only the newlyweds can and they are on their honeymoon.

Sweet, fun read about two people who seem to be made for each other, if they can find each other…..

A cute short read that will have you hooked from page one to the very last word! Saffron and Laird are planners. From sun up to sun down everything is as it should be but the thing with love is it never goes according to plan and oh boy did these to get it backward! From their first encounter Saffron was a jumbled mess but Laird knew he would do anything to keep her and when they finally let fate take control and stop planning things started to come together! The only issue was that their connection was a little deeper then what they anticipated!

This is my first read by this author and not my last! I can’t wait to see what other adventures await the “dress” and hopefully see more of these amazing characters.

Well written story with a nice storyline and plot. I like that the characters and how they develop.
A passionate and emotional read with twists. A different romance style than expected but enjoyable read. The dialogue could sometimes have been a bit better but absolutely recommendable read.

It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. The epilogue is very welcomed and gives the story more to it and it finishes it better of than without it.
There are passion, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story.

This was a fun, fast-paced read! Saffron and Laird (such great names!) meet at a wedding. Laird knows right away that Saffron is his, she takes more convincing that Mr. Fantasy could actually want her! A few unexpected twists follow. Add in a great epilogue and I adored this book! I can't wait to read more from this series!!

Saffron has her whole life worked out she has crossed the t’s and dotted the I’s. She really has everything the way she wants them that is until she runs into a gorgeous man at a wedding she is working on. Now her t’s looks more like x’s and her I’s look a little funny. Things just may get a little complicated as they heat up with some hot passion. This is a short fun read with some very steamy moments, it is a story that will make you smile and laugh. It is an enjoyable read that is short and sweet.

Saffron has her life already figured out. A job she loves as a wedding planner, CHECK ! 2 best friends, CHECK! A safe relationship with a mature man with no sex, CHECK! But what happens when she suddenly stumbles into a gorgeous man who is taking part at a wedding she has planned? And then later finds out that the man she is drooling over is no other than the son of her “special friend”? This my dear readers is Unexpected Bliss. A beautiful book written by Fifi Flowers with her usual elegance and style.

REVIEW
Another fantastic story from this author.
We have Saffron who is a wedding planner, firecracker, and all around great person. She has no room in her life for anything unexpected.

She has been dating the manager or so she thought of an elite hotel where she handles many events. Well they break it off.
Saved by a wedding to plan she heads out of town.

While standing in the hotel lobby Mr. Fantasy walks in and all stops.

Laird sees her at the counter and immediately knows this woman was his for life. Wow talk about making a quick decision but this man has been hurt and hasn't even thought about a woman in that way til her.

Will this couple survive all that is thrown at them? Well grab your copy and find out. You won't be disappointed.

This is a really good quick read. Saffron is very independent and organized. Her world is organized from first meeting a guy ,to engagement and finally wedding. Laird turns her world upside down. Nothing goes as planned. Sometimes destiny has its own plan on how things turn out. Laird 's gives Saffron a gift. One that she didn't even know she wanted or needed. Can they overcome this mess their in or not.

Fifi Flowers has done it again. With great characters and a storyline that was heartwarming and simply adorable this book is a must read. Saffron has always planned everything, but it takes one night with Laird to throw everything out the window and just live in the moment. I absolutely loved these two and cannot wait to read more in this series.

Saffron is a wedding planner and has recently gone into business with her two best friends, running the Wedding Shop, a name they plan to change as they do so much more than plan weddings!

Laird is a divorced hotelier, and away at his friends wedding, one which Saffron is the planner for. As soon as he sees her he knows he has to get to know her. Saffron sees Laird as her fantasy man but knows that she is there to work and nothing more!

The evening of the wedding they start talking and one thing leads to another, and they spend the night together. Saffron leaves before Laird wakes in the morning without exchanging any details.

Four months pass and whilst in a meeting at a hotel she arranges wedding for, Laird walks in, and they can’t believe they are once again in the same room.

Things never go to plan in the game of love, and Laird says something he immediately regrets and spends time trying to convince Saffron that he is, indeed, serious about wanting to be with her.

Cute, sweet story. Saffron knows what she wants. She has a plan, a system. What happens when suddenly nothing is going according to plan? Laird has been hurt. Now he just wants to live, mess around...nothing serious ever again until he sees Saffron and everything about her captivates him. There are a few surprises in store for them both. Can the wedding planner find her Happily Ever After?

I liked it, but didn't love it. Since this is a quick read I would have liked the couple to spend more time together. They had so many conversations in their heads! It did have a HEA which I love.

This was an enjoyable read about Saffron and Laird. There were some unexpected things these two go through I didn't see coming, and kept me guessing at times on how it would work out. They're a great couple who are made for each other. *I recieved an Arc for my honest opinion.*
