REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
Oh my gosh is this book so much fun! I loved Gannon and Carys so much! This grumpy/sunshine age gap romance had me hooked. Such a great sense of humor in this one especially the texts between the the Brewer family. I love how passionate Carys is about her plant business. I so wanted to succeed because everyone should do what they love. Gannon is such a grumpy businessman, but Carys brings out a side of him no one saw coming. Their banter is one of my favorite parts of the book. Oh did I mention her best friend is his brother. I love Carys and Tate's friendship. This is a must read! Get ready to swoon over Gannon. 

BLURB:
Crushes are harmless—unless they involve your best friend’s grumpy, off-limits brother.

Gannon Brewer is the epitome of my type. He’s at least ten years older than me, emotionally unavailable, and highly disagreeable—basically a walking red flag in a tailored suit. But do I listen to that? No. In fact, when his office plants start dying, I convince myself that I can ignore the pheromones and save the philodendron.

Now I’m in his office every week, dodging sinful smirks and heated stares, reminding myself to reach for the watering can—not him. But one “ivy incident” changes everything. Suddenly, we’re sneaking around, indulging in a steamy, forbidden fling that’s supposed to be nothing more than (a lot of) fun.

After all, he swears he’ll never fall in love. I assure him that I only want one thing, and it’s not his heart. But the closer we get, the more lines we blur, and the harder it becomes to keep our promises …

Especially when the secret I’m keeping threatens to shatter everything.
