Mazey Eddings
A sexy, sapphic, opposites-attract romance with Mazey Eddings' signature sparkling voice! Winning the lottery has ruined Opal Devlin's life. After quitting her dead-end job where she’d earned minimum wage and even less respect, she’s bombarded by people knocking at her door for a handout the second they found out her bank account was overflowing with cash. And Opal can’t seem to stop saying yes.With her tender heart thoroughly abused, Opal decides to protect herself by any means necessary, which to her translates to putting almost all her new money to buying a failing flower farm in Asheville, North Carolina to let the flowers live out their plant destiny while she uses the cabin on the property to start her painting business.But her plans for isolation and self-preservation go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Boden is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states she’s the rightful owner of Thistle and Bloom Farms, and isn’t moving out. The unlikely pair strike up an agreement of co-habitation, and butt heads at every turn. Can these opposites both live out their dreams and plant roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?

"This book left me a little confused? I didn’t really get why Opal insisted Pepper hated her when I never really got that vibe at all throughout the book. They argued a few times over minor things but it was all resolved fast. I felt as if topics moved too fast and I just ended up shocked but not in a good way? The writing wasn’t horrible and it’s a simple romance, I LOVE the cover at least ❤️ overall it was pretty average. I had my expectations high because I heard great things but this just wasn’t for me, if you enjoy it then I’m happy for you."

"This is 3.5/5 but I’m rounding up because of the cover! This is a low angst romance where the main character Opal wins the lottery and buys a failing flower farm to get away from everyone trying to use her to get some of her lottery money. She meets Pepper who works on the farm and they have a not so great first meeting because Pepper is supposed to be the owner of the farm. Despite the dislike between them they start living together on the farm and have to learn to work with each other which leads to an attraction and benefits situation. <br/><br/>I liked how low angst this because sometimes it what I need. I loved how opposites the characters were, grumpy sunshine ish is my jam, I’ve seen this in other reviews but I did also find it hard especially in the beginning to tell the different characters and their povs apart. The chemistry was working and the spicy scenes were done well. Also I’m glad for the neurodivergent and autistic rep and the realness to this romance. Overall a nice easy read with not a lot of plot but a sweet romance. <br/><br/>Read for: <br/>- Sapphic romance <br/>- Opposites attract <br/>- Flower farm plot <br/>- Mental health rep<br/><br/>Thank you SMP for this arc for an honest review."
