Review

Love blooms in the gardens of this rockstar.


Martin is tired of the rockstar life.  He’s most happy when he’s home with his garden and hanging with his gardener.  So it’s a surprise to find Simon, the very attractive grandson in his place when he returns home.


As they spend time together, tending to the vegetables, the spark they first felt starts to take shape into something grander. Their time together also helps them both figure out what they want for their futures.


This was a lovely novella. It’s soft and kind, and a great quick read between longer, angstier stories.

Synopsis

A tired rock star and a judgemental gardener…what could possibly go wrong?


The Purple Lizards are a rock world phenomenon, but lead singer Martin’s tired of his rock-and-roll persona. He’d rather be at home with his garden. When he gets home from tour he finds his gardener has had a heart attack and Simon, his grandson, is helping him out. Simon’s different to Fred. He talks, for a start. Martin and Fred have a perfectly functional friendship based on long silences and discussions about heritage vegetables. Simon talks about personal things as well. It makes Martin prickly.


Simon’s at a bit of a loss. He stepped up to help his grandfather whilst he was in hospital despite his misgivings about the absent Martin. But Fred clearly likes him, which is unusual. Fred prefers plants to people. That he actively likes a rock star who used to smash up hotel rooms is really strange. Simon’s reserving judgement. Apparently the band have a break in their tour coming up. He’ll see whether he can work for the man once he’s spent some time with him.


A tired rock star and a judgemental gardener…what could possibly go wrong?

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

REVIEW: Once Upon a Second Chance by Davidson King (Once Upon a Holiday Story Series)

  ONCE UPON A SECOND CHANCE Once Upon a Holiday Story Series by Davidson King Release Date: November 15, 2024 Review What a wonderful holiday romance. Small-town vibes, two really great guys, a little hurt comfort, an age gap, and a lot of tenderness. Aaron - a young man who’s known struggles more than he’s known safety and comfort and home.  Daniel - an older wealthy man with a heart of gold and deep ties with the small-town, but with the sting of lost love weighing on his heart. The tentative friendship, turned fling, turned so much more is sweet and patient. I love how important they become to each other so quickly and the healing they each help with. But equally beautiful was the town's role in their story. The common element to the series - The Hook’s Book Nook - is fun, though a small part - the two women who run it are wonderful, I would love a series about them and their travels.
