Keats McCulloch opened his florist shop in Sydney two years ago and he’s living his dream. Even though running his own business leaves little room for a personal life, he is very single, sometimes lonely, but otherwise happy.
Linden Acres has sworn off men for all eternity. Armed with his cheating boyfriend’s credit card and a floriography list, he decides to buy him the perfect farewell gift. The biggest, prettiest bouquet of ‘murder flowers’ his money can buy.
Keats convinces Linden to avoid possible jail time and go with a more subdued, somewhat passive aggressive bouquet of black roses and basil leaves. After all, nothing else says you’re dead to me and I hate you with such elegance.
Keats finds Linden hilarious and charming, and Linden thinks Keats is kind of wonderful . . . It’s too bad he’s sworn off men forever. Yet their paths cross again and again, as if fate was planting seeds in the hope that one will bloom.
Review by Twinsie Tenise
This book was absolutely perfect. I listened to the audiobook. I’m not sure if that made the experience even better but I loved this story and these 2 men. My face hurts from smiling so much.
Keates is a florist. He knows everything about flowers. The little game played throughout the book with flowers and their meanings had me swooning. Keates is a hopeless romantic. He showers Linden with all of his affection very early on. These 2 just clicked and when you know you know. Their relationship moved at a lesbian relationship pace and I loved every minute of it.
I would also like to add that I am obsessed with Glens voice. He is the reason I love audio books right now. I could listen to the man read a phone book.
