Keats and Linden surely had me smiling a lot – their story was so sweet and fluffy!
I really liked the premises of this story – Keats and Linden were a lot of fun to read about and the flower knowledge was interesting and cute. I have to admit I expected a little bit more from this story, and I felt like the usual depth that this author brings to their stories was missing here. Their romance was fast paced and while their meet-cute and dates were sweet, there wasn’t a lot more to their story than that. It started out strong, but I never fully felt the connection between Keats and Linden and there was no angst in the story to create any kind of tension either, so unfortunately the story just ended up fizzling out for me.
Bloom was a quick and cute story with adorable characters, but it sadly ended up being a bit too sweet for me. However, if you’re looking for a super sweet and fluffy feel-good romance, it might work for you.
