Layla inherits a valley full of roses. Matthew has been working and running the valley. He has been taking care of it and he feels its him.

He is drunk and very attracted to Layla. They end up kissing on his birthday. She loves the land , and it opens up her creative juices. They are attracted to each other , and not the other cousins that live around there. She is singer that goes by the name belle. This almost  reminded me of Beauty and the Beast but with roses. Matt could be such a grumpy bear. I loved the sexy times.

I enjoyed reading this new series and this reminded me that  I needed to read her other books in her Chocolate series with Patrick, Dom, and Luc.

Book Review= B+

She also realizes that the business isn't doing so good. While there in Chicago , she renovates her mom's hair business, and hangs out with Johnny.

Harper loves to take pictures and she is dating Kennedy right now. Brody is a football player who is dating Grace. They are put together as the perfect couple. Noah and Quinn also become a couple in this book too. Sawyer and Kaye are still flirting  and she is having problems with her boyfriend.

Harper is having some family issues at home and hoping her parents finally get divorced. Since being paired with Brody she is flirting more with him. She is also starting to have some feelings for him. Brody likes to do as much as he can , and get away with it. Brody also doesn't do girlfriends.

Harper while hanging out with Brody has more fun out of life. Tia and Will do also help Harper at times. Harper also takes pictures of 5k run in town, and hangs out at the beach with Brody. Things happen between them, but she doesn't like cheating. Brody also has some issues to deal with too.

I can't wait to read the next book. I love this world and the friends in it. I love that things happen because of voting and somehow the couple come together. I loved the romance in this book. I hope the next book is Sawyer & Kaye.

Book Review= B

I laughed and cried through this book. I found that this book touched on this subject better than another book I had read. I enjoyed the Unearthly series and this was another amazing book. I loved her friends.
