This is one true love story in an unlikely pairing. The couple, the male and female, are drawn to one another but choose to deny their initial attraction. The male wants to run from his feelings of fear of being shut down and the woman is ill-trusting after a difficult breakup. The more they spend time with one another, the more their mutual attraction brings them closer together. This is a beautiful story, perfect scenery and perfect characters to bring it altogether. I absolutely love how everything ties together, especially bringing the best characters together, beautiful descriptions of the world around the characters, steamy and seductive scenes with beautiful characters. I loved this!

Kelly owns her own florist shop in the small town of Sweet Ridge. After her last relationship went awry, she isn’t sure if that forever kind of love is for her. After a lunch with friends, she finds herself in charge of organizing and decorating a secondary location for the town’s upcoming Founder’s Day Festival. If that wasn’t enough stress, she will be working side-by-side with the man she has proclaimed to be the town playboy, Tate Prentice. Tate is now in charge of Prentice Farms after his mother passed away and his father became ill. As the youngest of three boys, it has fallen on his shoulders to keep the farm running since the other two are living their own lives. He loves the farm, and takes his role seriously, which is why he is not looking forward to planning the Founder’s Day Festival with Kelly. Once these two get together to start working, sparks fly…and not necessarily all good ones. While there is attraction, there is also some pent up anger issues that each are holding from other areas of their lives that bleed into their working relationship. This story is the ups and downs of building a new relationship in a small town with two individuals who are independent and hard-working. I enjoyed this book and story was sweet. There was enough drama to be believable without being over-the-top. I enjoyed their banter and when they would call each other on their b.s.. I sat down and started this story and didn’t get up until I was done…it was that good.

Nicole Flockton is a new author, and I’m so glad that I read this book! I do love a feel-good romance read that is simple yet, heartfelt. That connects you to the characters and one where you thoroughly enjoy following their story. The characters that this author has created are real and loveable and I couldn’t wait to see there connection grow and develop as you could tell that the chemistry they would have would be undeniable. This read totally captivated from the beginning and had me turning the pages fast and never wanting this read to end. I absolutely loved this read and can’t wait to see what else this author brings us and where she takes the series next. I highly recommend this read, and can’t wait for more!

This was a new experience for me reading Nicole Flockton, but I was anxious to find out what the book was all about after the bright and cheerful cover caught my attention. With the world today we live in today I am often finding myself drawn to the bright cheery things lately and this was just what the doctor ordered.
We get the story of Kelly and Tate in this novel, as well as an obvious set up for more books with side characters that play a role in this one as well. I am actually anxious now to get my hands on the next book and learn more about the Prentice brothers. This one however was Tate’s story. We find Kelly back at home in Sweet Ridge, Texas after a pretty brutal breakup. She is successful with her floral shop and is now roped into taking care of the local festival as well. There she meets Tate. These two have a special spark up front but both have struggles that will or do make a new relationship difficult. This was definitely a slow burn type read and things moved at a comfortable and believable pace. I enjoyed escaping to the idyllic town of Sweet Ridge as well and I am so excited to go back for book two.

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge #1) by Nicole Flockton is a quick read and a good start to the series. I enjoyed the characters but at times I wanted to smack Tate because of frustration. The relationship is tense at times and I felt there could have been a bit more lightness and witty banter to loosen things up a bit and the age difference didn’t help. Having said all that, it is a sweet romance and the story came together nicely as trust and love came into the equation.

I enjoyed this book. This is a shorter romance story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites of her yet. I had no issues connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. They made the story easy to read. This is a story about Kelly and Tate. Kelly has not had the best relationships in the past and now she is being forced to work with the town’s player. Will she give him a chance? Will she see who he really is? I enjoyed watching these two grow throughout the book and their chemistry mixes well. I highly recommend this book. It is a great story to heat up anyone’s day.

This was the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more. This was a fun book to get into and it was a pretty quick read for me. I fell in love with the idea of Kelly and Tate from page one. Kelly has been cheated on in the past, which makes her very skeptical. Tate has never been one to be monogamous. So when they come together to plan a festival, they can really get to know each other. I loved the flow of this book and I can not was to see what happens next in Sweet Ridge.

Kelly Turner loves being a florist, and being asked to take the lead on the new site for the town’s festival is an honor. If only she didn’t have to work closely with the town player, Tate Prentice. After being burned once by a serial cheater, her inconvenient attraction toward Tate needs to be nipped in the bud.
Tate Prentice’s focus is on ensuring his father recovers fully from his stroke and making sure the family’s peach farm continues to thrive. When his brother nominates the farm to be the satellite site for the festival, he’s less than impressed. The only good thing is he’ll be working with Kelly – even though he knows she’ll never give him a second glance, not with his reputation.
The more time Kelly spends with Tate, the more she sees the man behind the reputation. Can she trust her instincts, or will her heart be broken once again?
