One Hot Texas Summer

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge #1) by Nicole Flockton was a great 5 star read. This is Kelly and Tate’s story,I was pulled right in by the authors writing and loved these two. Tate has taken over the responsibility of his family's peach farm and it is the site for this year's Founder's Day festival. He isn’t looking forward to working with Kelly who is the florist handling the flowers for the festival. She isn’t thrilled about working with Tate either because of his playboy ways. But as they work together she starts to see a different side to him. They both have been hurt in the past so they each had some things to work through. You can feel the chemistry from these two coming off the pages. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really like how independent and strong both Kelly and Tate were. They were perfect for each other, I had some LOL moments when they would banter with each other. Of course we get some ups and downs and small town drama. If you're looking for a great read I highly suggest this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is a well written book that did engage me but and this is a big but I got fed up of how everyone locked on about the age difference it should have been mentioned and then left alone instead of becoming the focus that it was. Tate Prentice is the youngest of the Prentice boys and has a reputation as a player and that must be true because he orders a floral arrangement from Kelly Turner florist business every single week. He is the one caring for the family peach farm as his other two brothers are tied up with their own affairs he worked with his dad who had a stroke and is now in a home (hint this has something to do with the flowers) Now the two of them will b working together on the foundation day festival Can a playboy and a woman who not only is older but is damaged by a past relationship actually admit what is growing between them You will have to read to see

The start of this new series gives us the youngest of the Prentice brothers, Tate, and local florist, Kelly Turner. Kelly moved back to her hometown after her father died to be closer to her mom. She’s not interested in a relationship after the disaster of her last one. Tate took over managing his family’s peach farm after his father, Trenton, had a stroke. In this small town he’s considered a player. Because of that, Kelly always wonders for whom are the flowers he purchases on a weekly basis. When a mutual friend puts them together to work a festival, a relationship of sorts starts. But the age difference is a big obstacle for Kelly. I have to confess that neither the storyline or the characters engaged me. I kept hoping that they would. I thought that the main concern of everyone was the age difference and instead of it being just a distant issue, it because THE issue. As much as Tate was said to be a player and young, he was mature and no evidence of being a player. Still, I will give book 2 of the series a chance. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
