About the Book
Their relationship is fake… The chemistry is not!
A small-town girl with the coziest flower shop and a secret crush. A dark, rugged veteran with scars only she can see. Could fake dating turn into happily ever after? Gilmore Girls + spice = 🔥
🪴☕✨
Zoe Hart is right where she belongs: in the small town of Maple Falls, running her snug flower shop filled with the scent of rain-soaked earth, dried herbs, and spiced tea. But her oldest friend (and secret crush) Jackson is back too. And most of all, she longs to be in his strong arms. So when her hopelessly romantic mom bets on them being Maple Falls' Couple of the Year, Zoe finds herself fake-dating the friend-zoned guy she’s always wanted…
When Jackson returns from military service, even working on his llama sanctuary can’t heal him. But Zoe is the only person who can truly make him smile. He’d do anything for her… even pretend to be dating. There’s nothing fake about his feelings as he crushes his lips to hers. But there’s no way she’d really want a broken man like him, would she?
All eyes are on them as the town prepares to vote for Couple of the Year. But when they discover a grove carpeted with long-lost flowers that shimmer like moonlight, real sparks fly. Will their make-believe romance bloom into true love forever?

My Review
From the minute I picked up this book I felt like I was coming home. After absolutely loving the previous two books I couldn’t wait to delve straight into this and be reunited the familiar characters and the beautiful village.
Let me tell you this book was every bit as good if not better than the previous ones, the story itself was so good and so cosy and enjoyable. This series of books is like a warm hug. You just can’t stop smiling when reading these.
Love love loved this!
Oh and what a perfect spring read this is!
