From the opening paragraph forward, the author slowly builds upon the opposite attracts theme. As Clover and Liam try to ignore the mutual attraction that is growing between them, it sure is fun to watch as their relationship develops. The author does a great job of building upon their physical attraction as sparks fly and intimacy grows, as well as developing their relationship into one where they work together to overcome their emotional past baggage, family drama, business obstacles, and misunderstandings to find love. I really enjoyed how their differences provided a balance in their lives, it was fun to watch as they discovered one another, changed and grew along the way.Four-Leaf Clover is a sweet, sassy, and heart-warming romance story that is perfect to read as you while away a lazy summer day, it will leave a satisfied smile on your face.
