This hop could NOT come at a better time for me, because my release from last week, NO FLOWERS REQUIRED, is all about romance. Specifically...my heroine, Alexa, doesn't really think she needs any in her life. She believes she just wants some stress-relieving smexy times while she fights to save her business, but she's oh so wrong...as she soon discovers when she meets the swoony hero (at least I hope you think he's swoony!) Alexa's a florist who loves purple roses (which signify love at first sight - an important factoid from the book) but isn't attuned to her own heart - at least until Dillon helps show her the error of her ways!
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.

I follow your blog via RSS. I would love to receive your newsletter (kesummer69 at gmail dot com). The most romantic thing someone has done for me was (not very original, but) when my husband proposed to me. He's not usually into the romance, but he went all out. Nice dinner, flowers, and then a long walk along a boardwalk where he got down on one knee. Twenty years later we're still happily married.

We has been dating for a few months when my birthday came around. He came to my apartment while I was sleeping, tied balloons to my front door, & went back home. When I opened the door to leave for work, I found them. It totally made my day.

I'm pretty sure i receive your newsletter but maybe we should double check.
The sweetest thing my bf ever did for me was right after my dad died and i was a hot mess and i may have been drinking a lot and he let me cry and talk about my dad while he braided my hair...not so sure that counts as romantic but definitely sweet.

Following via GFC, I'd rather not get the email just because I get so many. My most romantic moment was my husband proposing to me in front of a waterfall. He was so nervous!

The most romantic thing I can remember is from a few years ago when I was pregnant and worked all day on my feet...when I got home my husband would rub my feet with lotion for as long as I wanted. It was heavenly :)

I think the most romantic thing, well one of the first, was to bring me a book instead of flowers the first time he came to dinner.

The most romantic thing my hubby does for me is when he knows I have been having a bad day or just down for whatever reason, he finds a way to take me out to dinner or just to get away for a couple of days.

I'm a gardener at heart and love flowers, so how lovely to have a book set in a flower shop!

Thanks for participating! Really like the hop so far!! I love reading, especially romance. I love reading contemporary, historical and erotic romance. I love the happy ending that is garenteed at the end. My favorite book is Lover Mine by JR Ward! I love John Matthew and Xhex. My favorite romantic moment was when my fiancé asked me to marry him! We meant two years ago right around when summer was ending when my friend and I went out for our last big night out before classes started again. I think it is romantic when he brings me flowers because no one else has ever done it! Thanks so much! Hope everyone else is having a great long weekend!!

Not the most romantic, but def. the sweetest was when I was in the 3rd grade and was given a box of chocolate from a boy in my class for Valentine's day. Strange that something so simple stuck with me for so long.
...I wonder what he's doing now. :)

Most romantic was a series of things my husband did for me. He got me a pink ribbon necklace to lift my spirits during radiation. He came to almost all my radiation appointments to be there for me. He helped me with the treatments for the skin irritation from the radiation. And let me tell you some of the things I tried were pretty smelly. He sent me pink roses on the last day of my radiation. He's the best and I'm so lucky to have him.

What a great hop! Grand prizes, old friends to visit and new ones to meet… and chances to win at each stop too. I’m in Blog heaven! :-}
My husband while on a cross country trip with his family (we were dating at that time) made them stop in several small towns so he could get me a coffee cup from each of them because he knew I collected different coffee cups. I still have those cups and we’ve been married over 20 years. <^_^>
