GRR Reviews Second Chance by Jane Suen

Mary Ann was just a florist in town when Connor arrived, needing flowers for his mom's funeral. They connected, and even their cats connected. But he left her to go back to his job in the city. She's sorta dating Ron now. She was shocked to find Connor at the grocery store as the clerk... and Connor is ready to woo Mary Ann back, realizing his mistake. And when a snowstorm hit the town, and he was temporarily stranded with her, this may be the chance he needs...

A bit short, not too-angsty, it's pretty clean and sweet, and it has cats. 3.5/5

GRR Reviews A Love Song for Kayla by Kimberly Rose Johnson

Kayla loves being a florist, but hated Valentine's Day, because she's alone. Then she met the new UPS guy, Derek, who's handsome and mysterious. And she's intrigued. // Derek is hiding from his successful singing career as DJ by living with his mother. He rather enjoys being Derek the UPS guy, meeting new people, and the florist Kayla was... delightful.  But when his showmance partner and ex-girlfriend starlet Estelle found him in town, Kayla recoiled at the betrayal. Estelle, keen on reviving her own career, needs Derek/DJ back in Tinseltown, somewhere Derek never wishes to go again, as he wanted to stay for Kayla. But then Estelle revealed WHY she must get Derek/DJ back...

The last act of the book felt a bit forced, and same with Estelle's conversion from bitchy-starlet into a Christian woman. Also, it's seriously IMPOSSIBLE for someone to find work at UPS using a pseudonym.  Still, it's a cute tale. 4/5

GRR Reviews Love's Prayer by Melissa Storm

Ben is down and out. His brother was tired of his life and killed himself in the middle of town square. He had to abandone his scholarship to return to take care of his family. His father just left, no longer willing to deal with the situation, and his mother descended into alcoholism. With no way out, and barely working enough to keep a roof over their heads, Ben was thinking about ending his own life... when Summer came into town. // Summer wasn't a florist, but when her sweet aunt finally can afford the cruise she waited her life for, she had to step on and be a temporary florist in the small town of Sweet Grove. And there she met Ben, who was contemplating ending his own life, and even asked God for help, when Summer, at the end of the rope, asked him to help out. And he did. Then his life seems brighter... Summer's love for life is precious, and she even helped him and his mother got out of their funk. But when it's her time to leave, can he (and the town) convince her to stay?

Hmmm... Sweet, and there's talk about faith and all that, but somehow, I just didn't quite feel the love. 3.5/5
