Book Review: War of the Roses by Iris Morland

The Flower Shop Sisters Book 0.5

The man I hate might be the first one to pluck my petals…

Confession: I, Dandelion “Dani” Wright, am twenty-six years old and have yet to be deflowered. It didn't matter, until Jacob West walks back into my life.

This Jacob is no boy, though: he’s all man now—confident, charming, and so sexy my metaphorical blossoms are getting scorched.

I can almost forget I’m supposed to hate him forever. Almost.

War of the Roses is a 10,000-word prelude to Petal Plucker: A Steamy Romantic Comedy and shouldn’t be read as a standalone.

My Review:

I’m already falling in love with Dani. She’s feisty, independent, and perfectly socially awkward. A heroine after my own heart. I’m not quite sure what to think of Jacob just yet. This little teaser of a book gives us a good idea of who he used to be, but not much of the man he’s grown into. I love the author’s witty, snarky sense of humor. It so perfectly matches my own biting sarcasm that I felt like I should have spent most of this book doubled over gasping for breath. (But since sarcasm is so much cynicism, I couldn’t possibly laugh that hard.) I just hate how quickly this book was over, and I can’t wait to see where this storyline takes us next.
