Synopsis (Goodreads):
Everyone hates parts of their job.Thoughts on Coming Up Roses: Oh my GOODNESS, this was a fun book. Luke and Tess were just...well, antagonistic on her part and sweetly chaotic on his part when they first meet again. Besides the forgotten kiss, his cavalier attitude drives her bonkers. She's all about routines and playing it safe and he's the EXACT opposite.
Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.
But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.
Except for Luke Bennet.
The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint.
When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him.
Almost.
He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.
Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.
He comes across as flighty and shallow, but there's a lot more to Luke Bennet than meets the eye.
Fortunately for him, Tess makes a conscious decision to give Luke a second chance. And she starts to see a whole other side of him that...sparkles for her. Which sounds weird, but he has facets and he wants to get to know the Tess that's under her prickly exterior and YESSSSSS. I love their slow evolution.
Not that it's slow, exactly. I mean, once Tess chooses to give Luke a chance, things move pretty quickly. Maybe that's to be expected, though, when you spend every waking moment beside someone while working to restore something that means everything to you.
*le sigh* So good. Their relationship is sweet and sexy and fun all at the same time. And, yes, there are bumps along the way, but I genuinely enjoyed every step of their journey. Even the bumpy parts.
Annnnnd...with so many Bennet siblings, there are so many possibilities. *dreamy eyes*
