Everyone hates parts of their job.
\nMaybe it\u2019s the paperwork. Maybe it\u2019s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it\u2019s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.
\nBut 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\u2019t hate anything at all.
\nExcept for Luke Bennet.
\nThe 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.
\nWhen he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can\u2019t be mad at him.
\nAlmost.
\nHe doesn\u2019t remember that night I\u2019ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.
\nEveryone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
\nBecause if I don\u2019t, I\u2019ll fall in love with him.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 \u201cBe Wild\u201d stars!<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be your fling. I want to be your everything.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Coming Up Roses<\/i> is an entertaining and emotional enemies-to-lovers rom com. Both sexy and sweet, it gives us a wonderful slow burn romance that will make you laugh, swoon, and fall in love.<\/p>\n

Luke Bennet\u2019s family owns the flower shop that Tess has been working at since high school. Luke and Tess were friends from the start but something happened that torn them apart and only Tess knows the truth. She hasn\u2019t seen Luke in years and hasn\u2019t really thought of the past; however, when Luke comes waltzing back in to help the family, all the hurt of what went down comes rushing back. Her hate still festers even though she is still wildly attracted to him. Luke has no idea what made their friendship fail or why Tess seems to despise him now but he is determined to find out. Their lives get flipped upside down when truths are revealed and second chances are explored.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d looked up during my speech, her eyes soft and rich, stirring something in my chest. A familiarity, like a memory I couldn\u2019t grasp, like a dream that had slipped away when I woke. But then it was gone. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s clear that Tess and Luke are attracted to each other but Tess isn\u2019t ready to forgive the heartbreak Luke caused. I felt the pain and humiliation. When she thinks they can finally be friends again, things start heating up and I loved it!<\/p>\n

These two are so different but they couldn\u2019t be better for each other. With Tess\u2019 desire for stability and Luke\u2019s desire for adventure, they shouldn\u2019t work but they do. They bring out the best in each other and they meet in the middle. I loved watching them finally take a chance. Soon things are right on track…until they aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

A turn of events really knocks them down and it\u2019s emotional. Though the pain is understandable, it still hurts so bad, and I found myself upset and heartbroken. I am not sure what I would do in that situation but I thought that Luke and Tess\u2019 actions were believable and true to their characters. Tess shows her strength and Luke gives us his heart. There is so much more depth to these characters than meets the eye, and I couldn\u2019t help but fall for them as they fell for each other.<\/p>\n

Tess and Luke\u2019s story is one of friendship, forgiveness, family, and love, and I enjoyed every moment of their journey, heartache and all.<\/p>\n

Coming Up Roses<\/i> is the first in the Bennet Brothers<\/i><\/a> series and already I am hooked on the this family. I adored Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and I loved watching all of the siblings come together. You could tell they are very close, and they are fun and loving while still being honest with each other. They are an entertaining bunch and I can’t wait for more!!<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n
