Publisher's summary

Adam West, a high powered lawyer, gets the shock of his life when he arrives to meet a new client. She’s the wife he hasn’t seen since they separated 10 years ago.

Sam Reece doesn’t need the added complication of working with the husband who abandoned her a decade ago. She’s tried hard to put her failed marriage behind her, going back to her maiden name even though they never got divorced. The situation is bad enough as it is, but it seems Adam is the only person who can help.

Can they ever move past the tragedy of the past, or will its long shadow prevent them ever working together?

Kept my attention

Despite a relationship which did not get the attention it needed but they are thrown together & have to depend & trust each other. A lot of twists & turns kept the suspense along with the clean underlying story line.
I received a review copy of this title & am willingly posting my impression of the story.

Second Chances

Good plot, a new client, which turns out to be his ex wife. Divorced over mixed feelings. Good second chance story, time changed and matured them. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Each is the last person the other wanted to see...

Sweet Peas In April is the fourth book in the Flowers Can Be Fatal series by Clare Revell but it is only the third that I've listened to. I found the dynamic of a husband and wife separated by tragedy and poor communication, now forced to work together and rely on each other, to be unusual in romantic suspense and quite fascinating to listen to.

One of the things that I like about the Flowers Can Be Fatal series is that each one is quite different. They all have that charming British flavor, flawed characters, romance, and danger. But no two stories have been a repeat, which is something that I've really liked. I did find it kind of fun that Sweet Peas In April is loosely connected to the previous book and takes place a little while later. Totally a nice touch on Clare Revell's part as I had gotten kind of attached to some of the characters.

As with the previous books in the series the narrator for the audiobook is the perfect choice with her spot on accent. But. Sorry to say, there's a but. The audio quality and sound level are not great. While annoying, I didn't find the recording problems to be a deal breaker and I definitely plan on listening to the rest of the series since I've been enjoying them quite a bit.

Fancy running into you here!

An estranged couple are unexpectedly foisted together 10 years after their original separation.
In the process of finding the money trail of an employee accused of embezzlement and a counter claim of wrongful dismissal, the spark that they once had is reignited.
However, there is a further complicated situation that causes drama and intrigue.
Yes an interesting story of intrigue and second chance romance.

Good BWWM second chance romance

I enjoyed listening to this book. I liked the characters a lot. I liked this book more than the first one I listened to. I liked the fact that Adam and Sam were an inter-racial couple. I could relate to that. I think it was wonderful how the circumstance drew them back into the same space again. This series is realistic in the issues each couple has to face...though some are more believable than others. Each book is a standalone and focuses on a different couple. It was a nice, quick, and easy listen. Once again I would highly recommend the book to others. I like the fact that this series is narrated by the same woman. She dose a good job at reading the books. I look forward to listening to more of these books.

Terrible recording

It sounded like this was recorded in a tin can. The story was ok; it didn't really reach out and draw me in. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
