GRR Reviews Sunflowers and Second Chances by Holly Tierney-Bedord

Sunflowers and Second Chances is about letting go of the past and embrace the possibilities of a future, combined with hot for boss and enemies to lovers. But overall, the story, while charming, just didn't grab me.

Mandalyn Laramie is despondent after losing her fiancee Jack. She went off to work over the summer on McCauley's Sunflower Farm store, trying to numb herself with work. She wasn't ready for male attention, esp. from the store owner's carefree but gorgeous nephew Braydon, now technically her boss as the owners left on vacation. Braydon is laidback and quirky, the exact opposite of Mandalyn, who's serious and orderly. But his kindness and good humor started to unwind her plans to work herself to recovery... But when Braydon had to go back to California, will she agree to go with him?

The shift toward "annoying" to "lovely" feels a bit abrupt. The different worlds trope is okay, and the built-in expiration date seems to work. But overall, nothing really outstanding here.
