String of Hearts

Book #1 of a 7 Book Series

Book Summary: 

When widower Ryan Tupper walks into the Pinwheel Plant Shop, owner Avery Wheeler is surprised to see her brother’s best friend from high school and confused by her attraction to him.

It’s only been six months since Avery’s husband died in a car accident and she’s had zero desire to date again, but Ryan knows what it’s like to be the spouse left behind.

While he’s been adjusting to his new life as a single dad, Avery’s been trying to get up to speed on the business side of the plant shop—something her late husband always took care of—but she’s in serious debt and could lose the store.

In what should be a win-win opportunity, Ryan asks Avery to co-host a call-in radio show with him all about houseplants. He’s a popular morning show host who knows nothing about plants, and she’s a plant whisperer in need of extra funds. See? Win-win.

That is until people ask if they’re together together, instead of how much and how often they should water their begonias.

Caught between missing her husband and missing out on a budding relationship with Ryan, Avery must mourn or move on, and both choices terrify her.

Mini Review:

Spoiler warning!!

I will say this was a very sweet, clean, and loving romantic comedy. I adored Ryan’s daughter and loved that Avery and Ryan were given a second chance at love. I will say this book moved WAY too fast. I get that it was only 164 pages and everyone heals in their own way but to propose marriage/be engaged when Avery’s husband had only died six months ago was incredibly off-putting. I wanted to love this story, I really did but all I could keep thinking after I finished was “Wow! You just asked him to marry you? I mean your husband just died six months ago! Really?!”
