Myla Rose McGraw may be twenty, single, and pregnant, but she’s no damsel in distress. She doesn’t need a man. After all, her Grams taught her a thing or two about making lemonade out of life’s lemons.
Then she meets Cash Carson.
Reeling from a bad breakup, Cash has sworn off love. It led to nothing but pain and misery, and he’s determined to move forward alone.
Until a redheaded Southern beauty crashes into him. With her shopping cart. At the local Piggly Wiggly.
If love wasn’t for him, why did his heart beat a little faster every time Myla Rose sent that sweet smile his way?
He was no knight, and she didn’t need saving.
But damn if he didn’t want to try anyway.
COMING UP ROSES is a sweet, Southern fairy tale—with a twist.
Coming Up Roses is such a sweet book and really well written from a debut author!
Both Cash and Myla Rose got the short end of the stick from their past relationships, quite honestly, I wanted to throat punch both of their exes… but they are fictional characters, so obviously I couldn’t follow through. Cash’s ex is cold hearted and Myla Rose’s ex is a total douche.
“If there’s one thing my Grams has taught me, it’s that from s**t, flowers grow. So, y’all can sit back and watch me f*****g blossom.”
Myla may not have been where she thought she would be in life, but she makes the best of the lemons that that life has handed her. She also has a strong support system in her friends, Azalea, Simon and Drake. I loved their friendships and loved how they had her back and pushed her when she was being stubborn.
“I think the right man will love you and your child. Don’t assume you’ll be alone, Myla Rose, and don’t settle for settle for anything less than you deserve.”
Cash Carson is one dreamy man, one that every single mom would love to have for themselves. He may have been obstinate at times, but with good reason. I may have wanted to thump him in the forehead a time or two, but really… he’s a man so that’s to be expected.
Coming Up Roses truly is a Southern Fairytale, with the villains and everything else that comes with it. Myla Rose and Cash’s story is charming and filled with love, loss and grand gestures. If you are looking for a story that will leave a smile on your face and your heart warm, then this is the story for you.
