This novel was about Emilie and Arden. Emilie is an actor who has had a rough go of it recently and is sort of trying to get back on track in her career and life. Then she walks into the park where Arden is one of the groundskeepers. They meet and while they both seem to want to start a relationship, they also have some super baggage to get through first, and so they decide to be friends. But, this is a romance book, and so that only lasts so long and then all sorts of stuff is stirred up between them and within themselves.

I liked the characters especially, and the fact that the park itself really came across as a character too. Now that Japanese Garden, I could totally see it in my head.

The plot was interesting too, and her and there I was surprised by which way it went, so that was nice as well.

It was a fun read. Nothing earth-shattering, but reading it put a smile on my face.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books. ( )
