My Rating: Five Outrageously Cute Stars*****
OMG, I loved, loved, loved this book so hard! I snickered, snorted, snuffled, sniffled, raged, fumed, cackled, giggled, and outright belly-laughed through the entire story. Pardon the pun, but Petal Plucker was the perfect bouquet of snark, wit, humor, angst, steam, and sweet, sweet romance! The narrative was beautifully written in the first person with a primary perspective from our quirky, spitfire heroine, Dandelion 'Dani' Wright, florist extraordinaire and current managing owner of her family's florist shop, Buds and Blossoms. But the cherry on top of my 'perfect sundae read' was the epilogue from the hero, Jacob West, childhood friend, high school crush, son of her family's competitor, and the man who broke her heart nearly 10 years ago when he stood her up for prom. I generally prefer narratives with alternating his and her perspectives, especially contemporary romantic comedies, but Morland's execution was skillful and absolutely perfect for this story. Believe me; I don't throw the word perfect out there very often, but everything about this book was perfect, at least for me - perfectly balanced elements of everything I adore in romantic comedies - humor, heat, and heart, with a side of snappy banter, a wonderfully quirky cast, heart-wrenching angst, and steamy, sexy times for our virginal Dandelion (yes, Dani was a 26-year-old virgin) - and this story had it all, in spades, or maybe I should say in dandelions! Because there were dandelions! Petal Pluckers is a sweet, sensual, and totally captivating 'childhood friends to enemies to lovers' second chance romance romp and the perfect, feel-good weekend respite! It's also the outrageously adorable first release in a brand new series from Author Iris Morland featuring the three Wright Sisters, Dani (Dandelion), Mari (Marigold), and Kate. Oops, no flower name? That's right and there's a reason, but you'll just have to read the book - though Kate actually was an oopsie baby, but that's not really the reason! lol... No spoilers from me, except to say Dani and Jacob were a perfect couple, once they got past all the hurdles standing in their way! There's that word again - perfect, but what can I say, if the flower fits the occasion, use it in multiples! lol...
So, did I like this book? I think I've already expressed myself adequately but to eliminate any doubt - I didn't like it; I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit language and dreamy sex. (Go Dandelion! Slight Spoiler: Dandelion was deflowered and plucked - exceedingly well - but never fear, no flowers were harmed in the writing of this book! lol...) Will I read this author again? Abso-freakin-lutely! This was my first time reading the work of Iris Morland, but it certainly won't be my last! I can hardly wait for the next book of this series! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I devoured this book in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon. Once I started reading, I simply couldn't stop! The hours melted away while the pages flew as I cheered for Jacob and Dani, laughing nonstop at the antics of them and their families. What a hoot! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

Lots of detail
OMG This book gives a whole new meaning to steamy!!! While yes it does have a few explicit scenes it also has an amazing love story that develops at a kind of quick pace. I don't normally read books like this but hey sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.I found myself blushing A LOT!! I love the story, the romance could have had a bit more, I felt like it was just "hey how are you doing? Ok let's have sex." I would have like the characters to develop more. I do have to say that my favorite character is her best friend (though shes not in the book as much as I would have liked). At times I felt like it just from one scene to the next without warning.I do have to say that this book is better than 50 Shades of Grey in the steamy aspect! I can't wait for the next one, I look forward to see what happens.I gave this book 🌟🌟🌟.5 overall. Steamy wise I gave it a 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5.
