Alexa Conroy has made some big sacrifices in her life. She
sold her dream house and moved into a run-down efficiency
apartment with broken air conditioning, plumbing problems,
and spiders the size of small dogs living in her closet.
All so she could keep her flower shop afloat and fight
against her biggest competition Value Hardware.
Dillon James works as the handyman for Alexa's new apartment
building. He works construction, building houses in
addition to working as a handyman. And in his spare time he
helps build and remodel houses for disabled veterans. But
Dillon is also hiding a secret, his family owns Value
Hardware and with his family retiring he is being called on
to start taking a more active role in the business.
Alexa and Dillon navigate a growing attraction while trying
to save Alexa's business. With Dillon's help Alexa finds
the confidence to grow her business and start to see a
profit. Dillon tries to hide his connection to Value
Hardware while juggling his construction business, charity
work, handyman business, and growing romance with Alexa.
Will Dillon be able to keep his secret from Alexa? Will
their romance survive the truth?
NO FLOWERS REQUIRED is a sweet, romantic story with spot on
character development. Ms. Quinn did a great job with her
plot development and descriptions. I was pulled right into
the story as soon as I started reading and had a hard time
putting the book down.
Flower shop owner Alexa Conroy had it all before the
recession hit and her customers fled to cheaper shopping
grounds. Desperate to make ends meet, she sells her dream
home and moves into the rundown apartments above her shop.
When she spots six feet of sexy distraction—complete with
muscles, piercings, and tattoos—ripping up flooring, Alexa
knows the karmic windfall she’s due just landed on her doorstep.
And the attraction’s definitely not one-sided.
Dillon James, reluctant heir to the corporation about to
foreclose on Alexa’s shop, is not about to jeopardize their
scorching chemistry by admitting he’s not the building’s
handyman. But with only weeks until her business goes under
and his identity is revealed, Dillon must find a way to
convince Alexa cooperation isn’t a dirty word, help her save
the shop from his brother’s greed, and persuade her that
he’s not the enemy…or risk losing the only woman who’s seen
the real him.
