About this ebook
As far as hidden talents go, Delphinium Hayes is blessed with one of the more unique ones. With the slightest passing whiff, she knows someone's most admirable or weediest characteristic. This peculiar perception never fails to give her an advantage in life--until she meets two men who turn her world upside down.
Mason McCormack has agreed to help her with a group of seniors who have taken over her flower shop as their hangout. But his assistance is not without its price, and Delphinium agrees to compensate him with beautiful bouquets that seem to possess a bit of dating magic.
Elliot Sturgis, director of The Gardens Assisted Living Facility, is determined to discover why a group of his residents keeps sneaking over to Delphinium's shop to play poker in the walk-in refrigerator. He soon finds himself as enchanted by Delphinium as everyone else. But his devotion to following the rules and maintaining order does not endear him to the shop's owner.
Sparks fly as opposites attract and love finds a match in Delphinium's Flora Emporium--even for those who resist it the most.

There are a group of lively sr citizens from an assisted living home who love her flower shop as their hangout.Delphinium can tell all about someone by their scent which represents some type of a flower and that represents the person's traits.The other characters in the book are fun to engage with and "get to know" of their individual personalities.As the book started for me it was a bit slow moving, but definitely moved faster as the book progressed. I recd an ARC. All thoughts are my own.
