Star Rating : ✨✨✨✨✨ 5/5

Once again I owe a huge thank you to Harper, NetGalley & of course Bookouture for making my day for accepting me for book 3, I loved reading the 2nd book "The Spiced Cocoa Cafe" and was so excited when I was accepted to read "The Cherry Crush Flower Shop". 

If you are a reader who loved "The Pumpkin Spiced Cafe" series then you are going to for sure love this series, I had the first book in my TBR list and last year I pulled the it to the front of my reading list when I was accepted for the 2nd book. There was no regrets whatsoever and this series is hooking, unputdownable and bloody amazing! It's a really good read, and the stories are just so sweet!

We come back to the little town of Maple Falls, and follow Zoe who is living and working right where she belongs fitting into the small tight nit community of Maple. She has this adorable, well loved store full of beautiful flowers filled with the smell of dried herbs and spiced tea. When her oldest friend Jackson arrives back on the scene and her mom visits she ends up fake dating him. Will their fake dating turn into something else, and become permanent especially when she has always longed to be in his arms? Or will it end up being nothing, and Zoe being heart broken wanting what she has always wanted?

This book is so well written with the plot, characters and the story line fitting in so perfectly with this heart warming novel. It's one of them curl up in your favourite reading spot, get yourself a nice cup of fancy coffee or your favourite fizzy drink and fall into the realm of Maple Falls. You'll start reading this book, and then realise its on of those strap in and hold on and enjoy the banter. 

I love that when you look at the cover of this book, you see this sweet, beautiful and colorful flower shop. The cover draws you in to wanting to read it, Harper has this way with her words that make her stories sweet. She writes her stories with beautiful small towns, caring and out there friendships that just fit into place. The way that the characters just fit together is amazing, there is something in each story she writes about Maple Falls worth the time to read it.

Thank you again for letting me fall back into the small town of Maple Falls, and seeing where the characters are at in their lives once again. I cannot wait to see what the next story brings to us about Maple, and which character will be the main one next time.
