Petal Plucker: A Steamy Romantic Comedy

Iris Morland

Romantic comedy

April 9, 2019

Blurb:

The man I hate might be the first one to pluck my petals…

Confession: I, Dandelion “Dani” Wright, am twenty-six years old and have yet to be deflowered. No man has hosed my hyacinth. Fondled my freesia. Diddled my daffodil.

You get the point.

My excuse? I was too busy running my family’s flower shop and winning floral design competitions.

Suddenly that whole pesky virginity thing becomes a big deal when Jacob West walks back into my life. The boy I once loved. The same boy who humiliated me when he stood me up for prom.

This Jacob is no boy, though: he’s all man now—confident, charming, and so sexy my metaphorical blossoms are getting scorched. I can almost forget I’m supposed to hate him forever. Almost.

To make things worse, he’s my main competition now, since he took over his parents’ flower shop. If I give into this sizzling attraction between us, it could jeopardize everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve.

But if I’m not careful, he might not just be the first man to pluck my petals—he might also be the only man to capture my heart.

My Review!!!

The Flower Shop Sisters

What a fabulous start to a new series!

Petal Plucker is a story that has it all! Funny, steamy and fantastic cast of characters!

This is the story of Dandelion (Dani) and Jacob. They have a long history together.  Young unrequited love of epic proportions.

Dani is such a quirky gal, but she embraces those quirks and makes her all the more admirable.  She is has issues with trusting people, but with good reason.  When Jacob walks back into her life after years apart, it brings all those trust issues she has back to the surface.

Jacob, oh my me.  He was the popular student, he was the golden boy.  But what is the truth? After coming back home to help with the family business he sees Dani again and sparks fly.

I am always cautiously optimistic when a book is labeled “romantic comedy”.  Is it really going to be funny? Is it going to make me laugh out loud?  Well this book is truly a romantic comedy! It made me laugh out loud and made me fall in love with the characters! You won’t be disappointed in this!

This is the first book by Iris that I have read, but it will not be my last! I cannot wait for Marigold’s story next!

Blurb:
Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman.

Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance?

It’s not.

This story begins with a contract.

And an exchange of money.

A lot of money.

An angel perches nervously on one shoulder.

A devil lounges smugly on my other.

And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I’m doing.

Maxwell Hutcheson wants the girlfriend experience.

All of it.

And I’m going to give it to him.

I’m not supposed to enjoy being his whore.

I’m also not supposed to fall in love with him.

But I do. Both.

When our contract expires, I will walk away.

Because I have to.

But he’ll always have a piece of me.

I’ll mask my sorrow with a smile.

I’ll hide my love with indifference

… all while it’s killing me softly.

A fairy-tale romance.

It isn’t mine to have.

And this man I’ve come to love so dearly isn’t my happily ever after.

About Eighty-One Nights:

While the characters from Eighty-One Nights are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou’s story. Let’s call it a “story fusion” between our old favorites and new material. This work was briefly released under a pen name and was titled The Girlfriend Experience.

Excerpt:
“No one gets to call you a whore.”

“You can.”

He stops eating and looks at me. “I’d never degrade you by calling you a whore.”

“Not a whore. Your whore. There’s a difference.”

I can almost see the wheels turning in Hutch’s head. “You’re my whore?”

“Yes. Only yours.”

“My whore.” He grins. “I don’t think that I’m supposed to like that, but I do.”

“And I don’t think I’m supposed to like being your whore, but I do. Very much.”

He reaches out for my hand and brings it to his mouth, kissing it. “You never cease to amaze me.”

“Dirty talk. Never underestimate the power of it.”

About the Author:
Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet.

When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her music and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire it.

My Review…

All night people, I stayed up all night with this book, I couldn’t put it down.  And even though I knew this was part of a duet and this is only book one, I still couldn’t put it down.

Now Ms. Cates explains in the blurb that this story is a culmination of past stories that she has written and loved, but with fresh characters. A “story fusion” and I loved it.  Even with reading Ms. Cates in the past, (I loved her Sin Trilogy) this story seems fresh and new and also comfy like wrapping yourself in a favorite blanket.

This is the beginning of the story of Lou and Hutch.  Unconventional meeting, unconventional contract but what is developing between them is exceptional and just swoony.

Hutch has been burned by his past relationship, he is staggering under the weight of the truth of his past.  He is trying to stay afloat with what his world believes, he just wants something that is only his, all to himself and he finds that with Lou.

Oh Lou, what a tragic life she has lead in her short time here.  She is wise beyond her years and has built a fortress around her soft parts.  She refuses to be hurt again.  When the opportunity arises start a contract with Hutch.  It’s the answer to her short term prayers but can it lead to more?

This story is fantastic, it’s a fantasy wrapped in a world that I want to live in!  The intrigue and mystery is just enough to keep you guessing and the ending….gaaahhhh! I am waiting on tenterhooks for the next book in this duet!

Well done, Ms. Cates!! I tip my book blogger hat to you! Readers, get this story! You will thank me later!

Crazy for Your Love, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Ryan is live!

A family wedding with a fake boyfriend, meddling parents, and an obsessive ex . . . What could go wrong?

The only thing worse than being single at my sister’s wedding is finding out that my ex will be there too. Not just any ex—the guy everyone expected me to marry, the man I came to Jackson Harbor to escape.

Now I need a date, and fast. Enter Carter Jackson—the firefighter who’s dealing with an unwanted five minutes of fame ever since a shirtless photo of him saving a puppy went viral. He’s warding off propositions left and right, and he needs a fake relationship as much as I do.

Sweet and sexy, Carter is completely off-limits. See, I have a rule. A no heartache rule. Not only is Carter my friend and a known heartbreaker, but his job as a firefighter puts him in danger daily, and that’s something I just can’t handle.

The commitment between us might be pretend, but the passion all too real. As crazy as it makes me, I have to keep Carter at an arm’s length. Even that might not be enough to spare my heart.

My Review…

Oh how I love the boys of Jackson Harbor!  Carter Jackson is no exception.

Crazy for Your Love is Carter and Teagan’s story.

They have know each other for years.  The Jackson family has taken Teagan in as an honorary member.  But for their own reasons and scars from their past has always kept Carter and Teagan in the “just friends” category.

But circumstances force the two of them to pretend to be more to each other.  Then the lines between friendship and more become fuzzy.

One of the many reasons why I fell for Carter is his humor.  His crazy nicknames for Teagan throughout the story made me chuckle.  His scars have changed him in some not so healthy ways.  Watching him struggle through his guilt was moving and made me hurt for him.

Oh Teagan, what a secret you have kept to yourself for all those years! To see her struggle was just as moving. To see her try to put on the brave face, the “I’m fine” persona was heartbreaking.

Ms. Ryan has created a beautiful world in Jackson Harbor and this story just adds more to it.  I cannot wait for Shay’s story, but I am sad that that may be the last we will see of the Jackson family.  Get this story, heck get the whole series, you will thank me!

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now!

Greyson East left his mark on me.

As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.

Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.

When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.

I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.

When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.

He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.

But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.

I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.

My Review…

“More of that…”

That’s what this story is, it is more.

Eleanor and Grey is going to take your heart and your soul. This story going to take your heart and soul and shatter them. This story is going to then take the scattered pieces of your heart and soul and heal them, change them and make them fly. This story is going to follow you for a long, long time.

You are going to need a box of tissues when you read this story, it made me cry, it made me ugly cry in all of the best ways. It also made me feel hope, that when the people you love most leave this world, they stay with you, they “stay in your heartbeats…” (more beautiful quotes are abound in this story…you will see…)

I loved that the relationship between Eleanor and Grey changed as needed. I loved the fierceness in which Grey loved Nicole (yes, you read this right….) and the fierceness that Grey loved Eleanor. I loved the understanding and unconditional love that Eleanor had for Grey and his family.

This story is about so much more than Eleanor and Grey, it’s about love and loss and putting the shattered pieces of your heart back together, it won’t be the same, it will be cracked and scarred. But it can love again, in new and glorious ways. This story is going to give you hope, I know it did for me.

Ms. Cherry, your writing amazes me, your stories are beautiful to behold and an honor to read. You create magic in your words. And if I can wish for one thing it would be “More of that, Ms. Cherry”.
