The Language of Love is about letting go of the past in order to forge a future. I didn't feel too much chemistry between the two characters though, but the setting of Amsterdam was certainly refreshing.
To recap, Annette had loved once... she married her love young... and lost him when she's just 20. She believed she will never love again, and she threw herself into her flower business. Eight years later, she's among the who's who of florists in London, and she's started to feel loneliness... Until the Dutchmen Pieter Van Ness came to visit. He is the brother of Annette's friend, who's getting married, and wanted Annette to do all the flowers. And Pieter makes no secret that he wanted Annette for himself... preferably in his bed, and Pieter is VERY charming and persistent, and Annette found herself unable (or unwilling) to resist his advances... but she must do so, for her heart's sake... Or is that just... cowardice?
I honestly don't feel too much about the chemistry between the two, on any Pieter would want Annette when there seems to be an infinite number of women he can charm. I feel a bit more setup, about how much he heard from his sister could have benefited here, but wouldn't that make Annette more of a sister than a potential bedmate? But overall, I liked the book well enough.
