Wallflower in Bloom (Love in Fairwick Falls, #2)
Elise Kennedy
Painfully shy plant mom Violet Parker is about to experience the thrill of a lifetime when her TV crush lands on her doorstep. Desperate to rehab his public image after a PR disaster, actor / playboy Jack Grant needs a wholesome fake girlfriend for the summer. Violet, meanwhile, needs help stepping out of her comfort zone so her fledgling flower and plant shop, Bloom, will thrive. The two team agree to fake date for the summer as they promote Bloom as the resident ‘Plant Parents.’ But as they grow closer, their fake relationship starts to feel all too real. Things start to blur when Jack finds out about Violet's very secret, not-so-wholesome 'want to try list' and they agree to no-strings pleasure for the summer. Will they be able to keep their hearts to themselves, or will this fake relationship make their strings get permanently tangled together in love? Featuring: • Forced Proximity (Roommates) • Fake Dating • Shy curvy FMC • British celeb MMC • Hurt / Comfort • Cozy cottage vibes • Plants, plants, plants! • Confidence journey • Spicy scenes

Your rating:
Before reading, I realized that this is actually a sequel to the “love in fairwick falls” series, so I ended up buying the first book “Accidentally In Bloom” and ended up reading that first (and thoroughly enjoyed it) and then read this one!
I’m glad I read the books in order, but I do think that you could still read the books as a stand alone if you prefer.
This was such a good read! Right off the bat I thought Violets love of plants was so cute. Her little tips and tricks to help keep her plant babies alive actually taught me a few things!
I thought it was nice that Violet was plus sized. As a fellow plus sized girlie I felt that Violets fears and anxieties were accurate and relatable..(at least for me) and I loved that she was told to be exactly as she was, not change a thing about herself, and that yes she IS allowed to take up space. It felt very empowering!
Jack was so swoon worthy and he sure has a way with this words! His love for his cat was also really adorable!
Both Violet and Jack have such growth in this book. It was really nice to see!
Overall if you’re wanting to read a book with fake dating, a hot British actor and a cozy small town.. this is the book for you! Highly recommend!
