My review:

Dax & Hollyn
Hollyn (cute name!) just got dumped in the worst way and moves in with her brother, River, and his roommate, Dax. It’s only a two bedroom, so River stays with his girlfriend for the time being. Unbeknownst to her, Dax has been in love with her for like 15 years. The problem is that there’s a bro code in effect and Hollyn has been off limits all these years. Was not feeling how River was going on and on and on and on about that.

Dax is book boyfriend material with his adorableness and sweetness and he’s a florist, so he must be super romantic, right? right! And to want to follow in his father’s footsteps, gah!

I liked watching Hollyn grow as a woman over the weeks and even though I knew what she was going to do with the money before she even had the check in her hands I loved it.
I enjoyed the timestamps at the beginning of each chapter or page break, even if it only said moments ago or later that day.

I am totally looking forward to more book by Aimee that follow River and Mercy, Hollyn’s bff.

Book blurb:

Dax Hartley has made flowers his entire life, just like his late father did.

When his dad’s old florist’s shop is up for sale, he has to have it. Only problem is, he’d need to sell a kidney to afford it. The reality show Battle of the Blossoms is the perfect opportunity to win the money he needs, but when his childhood crush blows back into his life, distractions risk taking his eyes off the prize. He needs his head and heart to start working together to ensure he doesn’t miss the opportunity of a lifetime.

Hollyn Matthews has made some colossal mistakes in life.

When she’s dumped just as she’s expecting an engagement ring, she knows she’s put her heart into the wrong man. Hoping for a second chance at being a grown-up, she moves home to stay with her brother and his best friend Dax, a boy whose memory faded as she ran away from her past. Facing the hurt she left behind means facing some home truths about herself, but there’s one boy who has always loved her, if only she’d take the time to notice him.
