Publisher's summary

Since she was a little girl, Emma Grant has always loved romance. So it's really no surprise that she has found her calling as a wedding florist at Vows. She gets to play with flowers every day and work with her three best friends in the process. She couldn't ask for a better job....

And on the surface, Emma's love life seems to be thriving. Slim and sultry, she brings color into every room she enters, just like the arrangements she creates. Though men swarm around her, she still hasn't found Mr. Right. And the last place she's looking is right under her nose.

But that's just where Jack Cooke is. He's so close to the women of Vows that he's practically family. But the architect has begun to admit to himself that his feelings for Emma have developed into much more than friendship. And when Emma returns his passion - kiss for blistering kiss - things start to get complicated at Vows.

Jack has never been big on commitment, though, while Emma yearns for a lifelong love affair. If the two are to find common ground, they must trust in their history - and in their hearts.

Angela Dawe Saved This Series!!!

Bed of Roses was much better. Thank God they changed the narrator! Angela Dawe did a phenomenal job! They story line was much better and the main characters were way more engaging. There was more insight into Emma and Jack, the emotions are stronger, and the dialogue is so much better. Now, I’m actually excited to read the rest of the series.

Best Narrator!!

Any additional comments?

I'm really enjoying this series, mostly, I think, because of the narrator, Emily Durante. She is the BEST narrator for this type of book. I might listen to anything if she was reading it. She doesn't just read the words on the page, she reads them exactly how the characters would have said them, with the same feeling and tone. You can even hear the tears in her voice sometimes. Just wonderful!!

Bed of Roses

It was such a lovely story and I can't believe we have to wait until April and November for the other two to be released.
