A Winter Rose

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Winter Rose by Amy Craig shows a lot of promise. I like the premise of Julian, a “handicapped” (missing one leg former oil rigger) trying to find purpose in life traveling by motorcycle through the Pacific NW. When Julian stops in a small town for some hardware, he meets Eliza, the widowed owner of a flower farm. Through some awkward manipulations, he becomes her farm foreman since Eliza’s current help was just arrested by ICE. She’s also taking care of her Mom who survived a stroke and one precocious daughter. Sparks (the good kind) fly at their first meeting. These two try to work together during the rough winter weather as Eliza’s dormant flower fields get prepped for Spring. The flowers are pretty much a metaphor for their relationship. Both have had their hearts broken and their dormant hearts are waiting to bloom again. I would love to see this story a little more developed without the constant mixed signals. I would like it if Julian quit saying Yes, ma’am every two seconds although It would make a good drinking game. Also, I think once you have sampled Eliza’s “lady-crop”, you can use first names and kill the polite ma’am talk. A little fine-tuning and this could be a 5-star romance novel.

. Thank you to NetGalley for this free ARC, but my thoughts and review are my own and without bias.

The plot of this book looked attractive enough to request for it. But I found it difficult to read.
The way the author used to go from introspection to retelling ,to introspection again was not my idea of a good reading. However, I believe other readers will find it more than good and that's the treasure literature offers to readers: variety and different points of view.
I wish the author the best with this title.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
