Sometimes as a reader I just want a short story, something to fill in the time during a lunch break at work. Flowers for Him is a perfect light afternoon read. Previously published in the anthology, Promoted by the Billionaire, this novelette tells the story of thrice divorced Chandler Harrison who decides after his last wife leaves him to revamp his office. He hires artist Neil Sweeney to paint a mural to shake things up. What he gets is a burgeoning friendship with the sexy painter and as Neil and Chandler explore their attraction to one another, Chandler begins to re-evaluate his life.Marie Sexton is one of my auto-buy authors, so getting Flowers for Him for review was a delight. With alternating POVs between Neil and Chandler, the authors are able to give a wide view of Neil and Chandler’s relationship. The ‘opposites attract’ trope works perfectly in this scenario and I loved Neil’s fish-out-of-water feelings when he realizes Chandler’s world is vastly different than his. Add in some very hot sex scenes and Flowers for Him was a quick and fun read.Easily recommended.Dark Divas Reviews
