Do you remember how your first love made you feel?  Your stomach would flutter each time you would see him. Your knees would go weak and wobbly. Your brain would freeze making conversation impossible and your heart would beat so hard you would think others could hear it.  Well, Rosie Baxter, one of the main characters in this touching love story felt all of those things for Sam Moreland when she was young.  Sam was best friends with her two older brothers JT and Travis. He always thought of Rosie as his buddy's kid sister, pulling her pigtails and teasing her often. When Rosie was 14 years old Sam left for college.  He became a successful author and married a self absorbed model. He is now divorced and has custody of their 2 year old daughter Lorelei.After graduating from college, Rosie became the owner of "Rosie's Posies" a floral shop in her hometown of Sweetwater Springs, Arkansas.  She has had one relationship which ended badly 4 years ago.  Since then she has poured herself into her work. She also owns a house, which includes an interior apartment. Through a twist of fate or the beginning of a nightmare, depending how you look at it, Sam and Rosie find themselves together again.  Over the years, Sam has kept in contact mostly by email with the Baxter family.Sam decides he wants to move to Sweetwater Springs.  Before Sam moves he finds out his ex-wife is seeking custody of their daughter. Rosie needs a tenant, so she offers Sam and his daughter the apartment as a quick temporary fix.  She has not seen Sam in 7 years, just the thought of seeing him again makes her nervous.  Sam's attorney tells him he has a better chance of keeping custody of Lorelei if he can show the courts that he is raising his daughter in a stable environment complete with "A Suitable Wife". Soon after Sam arrives, Rosie finds herself in a financial bind.  Sam offers a solution, he asks her to temporally marry him, which gives the courts the illusion he needs.  In turn, he will give her the money she needs to end her financial woes.  Hesitantly Rosie agrees, knowing Sam only thinks of her as a friend, she worries she will not be able to hide her true feelings.  Will this arrangement pull them closer together or in the end will she lose her friend forever?  Author Carol Burnside's beautifully written love story had my heart strings working overtime.Stephanie Lasley, from The Kindle Book ReviewThe Kindle Book Review received a free copy of this book for an independent, fair, and honest review.
