What is this book about?

Tessa Gregory is nothing if not tenacious. Denied a position as a horticulturalist at prestigious Como Park in Saint Paul, she is not above a little benevolent deception in order to get the park superintendent to change his mind and hire her. She plans to infiltrate the world of wealthy and influential people in hopes of drumming up financial support for a world-class conservatory. But before she can put those plans into action, she meets Reese King, a handsome gardener at Como Park–and a major distraction. Still, Reese might be the key to achieving her dream. But is his goal to help her . . . or to capture her heart?

My review:

Interesting historical details with a sweet romance. I liked how Reese respected Tessa’s need for independence. There were some missteps along the way for both of them as they kept a few secrets but everything wrapped nicely when the truth came out.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Reese’s character

What I didn’t like about this book:

Couldn’t warm up to Tessa

Would I recommend this book to others? Perhaps. Interesting historical details with a sweet romance. This is the third book in the series. It can be read as a standalone but the first two books give deeper background on the sisters.

Note: I received this book complimentary in a giveaway. I was not required to give a review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
