Could Easily Recommend

I don't really know what I expected this book to be like but it turned out to not be like whatever that may have been :)  I guess I just kept being a little surprised at which way the story went.  It was good though and I found myself liking it...not LOVING it ...but that is rare that I find one I feel that way about.

It was pleasant and had just a tiny bit of mystery mixed in.

There was nothing I objected to and could easily recommend to anyone.

Could Easily Recommend

I am having a hard time describing how I felt about this book...

I think I really enjoyed the separate elements of the book...like the orchid growing, the sweet romance, the mystery (which was pretty easy to figure out early on) and the backstory of the mystery but I don't really know how I felt about them all together in the same story.  That sounds weird but I think that's how I have broken it down in my mind :)  The pieces just didn't really fit together for me for some reason.  But I feel like I can still say I liked the book despite this.  I can't think of anything I objected to other than maybe a little too much emphasis on the physical aspect of the romance a couple of times.

Again, I really did enjoy many parts of this book!  I will have to read it again in about 10 days when I have completely forgotten everything about it and see how I feel about it then :)

I can easily recommend this proper romance!
