At sixteen, Harlow Prewitt thought she’d found the love of her life. At seventeen, that love was put to the ultimate test. And at eighteen, it failed completely, shattering her beyond repair.
Leaving behind everything she had ever known, Harlow was determined to start over someplace different, someplace where memories of the past couldn’t follow. And she was never going back.
Or so she thought.
Noah Murphy has lived a life full of regrets. But Harlow’s unexpected return has given him another chance. And he’s determined to make this one count. Because a love like theirs isn’t something people find more than once in a lifetime. This time he won’t let her go. This time he’ll fight with everything he has. He might have lost her before, but he’ll be damned if he loses her the second time around.
Born and raised around Houston, Jessica is a self proclaimed caffeine addict, connoisseur of inexpensive wine, and the worst driver in the state of Texas. In addition to being all of these things, she’s first and foremost a wife and mom. Growing up, she shared her mom and grandmother’s love of reading. But where they leaned toward murder mysteries, Jessica was obsessed with all things romance. When she’s not nose deep in her next manuscript, you can usually find her with her kindle in hand.

Why do authors write romance books where heroes have sex with OW during a separation while the heroines are celibate? Here the heroine was celibate during the entire 6 years they are apart while the hero had sex with OW. This is so not romantic.
This author has written too many books with the hero has sex OW during a separation while the heroine is celibate and/or the hero continues to having sex with OW after meeting the heroine while she is with no one else. I HATE THIS DOUBLE STANDARD. IT IS WRONG AND DRIVES ME CRAZY.
“Because until the moment I saw you, I was convinced I wouldn’t be happy living here. But I walked into that school and you were the first thing I saw. You stood out from everyone around you. You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in the most unexpected place,” he admitted, taking my breath away. “You were my wildflower.”
The thing that frustrates me the most as a reader is finishing a book and still not knowing how the hell I feel about it.
That's the predicament I find myself in after my time spent reading Wildflower. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it enough to keep moving forward, but I guess I was expecting more.
I mean, come on! I waited almost the entire story to find out what traumatic event caused the destruction of Harlow and Noah and THAT'S what I get?
I can understand why Harlow booked it out of town, but I still expected more from the revelation and maybe a more understanding Noah when Harlow didn't fall at his feet and profess her undying love.
So why the 4 star bump instead of a 3 star kick to the groin? Even though I felt the story was a skosh anti climactic, I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue and writing in general. What can I say? I'm a sarcastic bitch and I appreciate when an author brings the sarcasm without comprising the story. In my mind that's worth 4 stars right there.
The usual-ish small town Romantic Comedy. where the football god H messes up the h leaves he doesn’t fight for her she lives a mediocre life Celibate 6 years - last sex with H back then doesn’t reach her dreams years later she’s forced to move back He tries to make things right She resists He pulls back She makes things right HEA
HIM: “Noah tried to dull the pain of the loss of his bright future (due to their shotgun wedding) by partying. He was hardly ever home.”
“I’ve been living a goddamned shadow of a life from the moment you left. There hasn’t been one single woman that could even come close to comparing to you. I couldn’t have started a relationship with someone else even if I wanted to. And believe me, I didn’t. Everyone since you has been a nameless, faceless body to warm my bed. It was always your face I saw. Your voice panting my name. No one will ever be good enough. No one will ever be you.”
“I’ve slept with three other women. Being with someone implies there was more than just sex. That’s all it was with any of them. The only woman I’ve ever been with, would ever want to be with, is you.”
Eu estou gostando muito da escrita da autora e fiquei curiosa sobre a heroína quando li o livro da amiga dela. A história é boa e prendeu minha atenção do início ao fim, mas senti falta de algumas respostas sobre os motivos da separação deles e o comportamento do herói na época. Onde e com quem ele estava naquela noite? Eu queria saber também da reação dele ao saber do que aconteceu com ela. Não gostei dela continuar celibatária durante 6 anos e ele ter sexo com outras mulheres. Mostra ela como uma mulher patética e que ele seguiu adiante. Mas no geral foi uma boa leitura e acabei fisgada pela maneira de escrever da autora. ----------- I'm really enjoying the author's writing and I was curious about heroin when I read the book of her friend. The story is good and held my attention from start to finish, but I missed some answers about the reasons for their separation and the behavior of the hero at the time. Where and with whom he was that night? I want to know his reaction upon learning of what happened to her. Don't like her continue celibate during 6 years and he have sex with other women. Shows her as a pathetic woman and he moved on. But overall it was a good read and I just got hooked by the way of writing of the author.

I can't say I liked or really disliked this book. It was just OK. The writing was engaging enough, but the MCs were just alright. I didn't connect with either of them and found them more annoying than not.
What I liked: 1) The dual povs. Although written in the first person, I didn't find the writing to be too sappy. There definitely were some sappy bits, but not too many and I can deal with that. 2) The fun banter and inner monologue. Some of the MCs' thoughts were LOL funny. 3) Seeing the characters from book 3, Rowan and Navie. It was nice to see the continuation of their story.
What I didn't like: 1) The h, Harlow. She was whiny and selfish. She was also dumb. 2) The H, Noah. Sometimes I like the alpha male and think it's hot. However, his version of alpha seemed a little put on. I didn't buy it. 3) The "secret" of the MCs' past dragged on for too long and at the end, it was all rather anti-climactic. 4) I wish that Harlow had tried to move on from Noah, dated some other guys or something.
Harlow and Noah never thought anything could tear them apart, but that idealistic bubble was ripped to shreds, and had them parting ways. Harlow was unable to stay in their small town, after all that happened, now back due to her grandmother’s illness , Harlow is getting used to being back in town, but one problem is in a town as small as hers there’s no way she can avoid forever the first body/man she ever loved. Harlow returning, is Noah’s chance to get back the only girl/woman he has ever loved and he is determined that once he gets her back, he will do everything to keep her happy with him, but first they need to deal with past hurts that continue to fester beneath the surface.
One key thing I didn’t like was that since the
I liked how Noah referred to Harlow as wildflower – it’s a sweet endearment and some of the dialogue in this was very amusing.
I found Harlow’s interactions with her little brother - Ethan (14 years old) to be funny and sweet, and I know the author has given him his own book, which I am looking forward to reading.
The secret dragged on for a tad too long and was a tad anti-climactic. As a second chance romance, this book has a nice amount of humour, lovely close friendship bonds and at times some nice heat between the main characters, but I won’t be re-reading.
I love Jessica Prince's books and i was soooo excited about this book, i love second chance stories so i am not sure if it was too much expectation but i was disappointed with this book..So sorry but its the truth.
The characters are amazing and some of the scenes are very touching and fantastically written. The reason Harlow leaves is fine and Noah is so sweet and determined when she returns in trying to rekindle their relationship.
I felt she was understandably nervous about something about to go wrong, and when it happens, which you know it will, she struggles to give him what he wants as she is struggling with the past when he let her down. I felt at this point he really let her down, he failed to be her rock before when she needed him and they have a row, he leaves cos she can't give him what he needs (to tell him she loves him) and then ignores her texts. He does help out with an emergency but then still cuts her off, leaving no discussion until another situation crops up later. I felt he was hard and cold at this point, there was no discussion about how he let her down in the past esp THE NIGHT he let her down in the past, where was he? how did he feel when he saw what state she was in and he wasn't there for her?, other than 'they were too young to deal with it'. I don't like it when i am left wanting the h/h to have a conversation they never have. I felt quite upset for her even after the HEA.
Other than that, the talk with the brother about the birds and the bees is really funny and the author is able to build a community of friends which is superb and builds for future books.
Worth a read, i am hoping on a re-read i will feel differently but not up to the usual high vote form me this time.

Having only read the book just before this and meeting Harlow in Navie's story I didn't know what to expect...but I really enjoyed this book. The story starts with a phone call from Harlow"s (LowLow) brother that she needs to come home. Her grandmother that has raised them since her parents passed was fading, so she packed up and left her NY life and went home. The very place she has avoided at all cost, it was her heart was shattered and left in the hands of the love of her life, Noah. Her life is upended and she now is guardian to her 14 year old brother.
Noah is there. He's perfect. And he wants his Wildflower back. In all the chaos they created she still remained the bright light in all the noise. The only girl that would ever be enough. The past was not too much for him to apologize for and move beyond. But could she, could Harlow learn to trust in the man she walked away from 6 years before.
This story is about forgiving, redemption, and redoing what a young love could not overcome. The one that was really scarred from this whole thing isn't really Noah or Harlow and the healing of that heart was one of my very favorite parts to the story. Really enjoy this series and I can not WAIT for Chloe and Derrick's story. It is gonna be awesome!
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Crazy Cajun Book Addicts for an honest review.
Wildflower is the 4th book in the colours series it can be read as a standalone and I loved it.
Harlow and Noah met when they were still in school the quickly fell in love and knew they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives. Just a couple of years later tragedy tore them apart and Harlow ran.
Six years later Harlow has to return to her home town and face Noah and their past is this the second chance they've both been waiting for?
This series just get better and better with each book Jessica writes and I'm really looking forward to Chloe and Derricks story next.
Compelling story. Second chance at love. Big secret that wasn't really. It could've been revealled in the prologue why the heroine left. It wasnt an earth shaking reason. Two young people got knocked up, forced to marry, hero is immature, heroine looses the baby and leaves. Simples. Ok more. The heroine's mouth was filthy. I don't like cussing heroines. She was celibate during the seperation. I liked that. The chemistry. Mild. Ho hum. Dull.
Final thought. The storytelling drew me in. The hero was doormatty. The heroine a bit too feisty. It was ok.
If I didn't absolutely love Jessica Prince for writing Love Hate Relationship, I would have loved her for Wildflower. Such a great story that I enjoyed reading so much from the beginning to the end. I fell in love with Harlow, Noah, and Ethan. So happy to get a glimpse of Navie and Rowan as well as Pepper and Griffin. Cannot wait for Chloe and Derrick. Just loving this series so much. :)
I’m so tired of authors writing the heroine as celibate but the hero has OW during the separation. So annoying and OLD! Why is it so hard in finding news way of creating angst? 🤷🏽♀️ DNF for me. Tired of the same old writing.
So, first of all, I'm so sick of all those clichés and those expectations. Now, Harl hasn't had a guy for six freaking years. Cause, yes, she's still so in love with her ex-husband and just can't move on. No, wait, that's not right, is it? Well, who knows?? Probably is. I am still unsure there due to what was said in the previous book... What is with this stupid expectation that girls shouldn't move on from their 'one love'. What the heck?? Now, of course, things are entirely different with her ex-bf. Cause he had three women during her absence. Now, that's not that much, right? Could have been worse, right? Okay, yes, true, BUT I just hate the message that is being delivered here!! Would she be seen as a slut if she had had other guys?? And let's not even talk about that here because Harl is portrayed totally differently in the previous novel. Navie even talked about hearing various voices coming from her bedroom. So the whole story is just not believable.
Second, I was not overly fond of Harl's guy. Ahm, sorry, but he had six freaking years to make amends and this sh*t waits for her to come back??? He should have gone to her, he should have begged her to take him back. Let me draw your attention to what he did to her when they were 18. Yes, 18. I know that's young but that doesn't mean that he had any right to be a conceited, arrogant and selfish ass. She was in the same situation as he was; while she was basically locked in at his home, he could go out with his friends and enjoy life?? Ahm, no! What annoyed me most is that he never really apologized!! Sure, he told her he was sorry, he was an ass but he never talked about his feelings at that time, talked about why he did what he did. It was just sooo disappointing. No maturity at all.
So, yes, I really, really didn't like this guy at that point. And then he made it worse by first promising her he would give her time and then rushing her and being a complete childish and immature ass again. I mean, just why???? At that point, I wanted to stop reading. And I nearly did.
Now, let me also talk a bit about Harl. I do get why she left at 18. I totally get it, I must admit. What I didn't get - at all!!!- was that she left her poor brother. I mean, gosh, how could she even?? But okay, she repented for that. Nevertheless, when she gets back, everything's just worse. I cannot believe how immature she handles finding him in a compromising position with a 'friend'. I mean, SPOILER
she's the one who got pregnant at 17 and yet, she has no clue how to talk to him about condoms? Everyone sees the sex talk as this embarrassing situation but it shouldn't be like that! Kids need to know about that! It shouldn't be a taboo!! Especially she should know that...
Other than that, I found that she had no backbone. She's the one who crawls back to him, she's the one who gives into her body's desires all the time.
Embora previsível, até porque já li outra série de livros em que a Harlow e o Noah aparecem já como casal, não deixa de ser interessante. Nada de muito especial, mas interessante, principalmente o relacionamento com o irmão.
Jessica Prince has done it again. Wildflower is another work of Romantic Comedy perfection. Noah and Harlow’s story is one of second chances, forgiveness, and the kind of love that lasts a lifetime. With each book in the Colors series I seem to fall a little harder for the beautifully broken characters and find myself even more addicted to this talented author’s stories. Noah and Harlow have a lot of history between them, which seriously amplified the tension of their story. The resulting emotional vulnerability and powerful chemistry between them spilled from the pages of this book until I couldn’t help but drown in the magic of their connection. Every look, touch, and conversation between Noah and Harlow perfectly captured the depth of their feelings for one another, allowing the reader to experience their journey in a very visceral way. Jessica Prince makes reading effortless, easily captivating me with her vibrant imagery, hilarious banter, and palpable emotions.
Noah proved to be a complete surprise for me. I didn’t expect to feel so much for him or find myself so smitten by his charming personality and obviously good intentions. As Jessica Prince unraveled this complicated man and exposed his flaws, I couldn’t help but be taken with the ways in which he had clearly grown and matured in response to the mess he’d made of his life when they were younger. I found myself cheering for him, despite the mistakes he’d made in the past. Harlow was an incredibly emotional character. She was still very much stuck in the past; unable to deal with the life she left behind or forgive the hurt she’d experienced. Jessica Prince certainly puts this character through her paces, transforming her as the story progresses into someone trusting, forgiving, and open to love again. Neither character had it easy but Jessica Prince developed Noah and Harlow in ways that captured the imperfections, insecurities, and mistakes that makes us all undeniably human.
Wildflower was the perfect balance of humor, heart, and heat. With her witty dialogue and emotional honesty, Jessica Prince made me laugh, cry, and fall in love over and over again. Jessica’s humor is well timed and socially relevant, giving her a voice that felt young and fresh. The storyline in Wildflower was the complete package, serving up just the right amount of heartbreak, steam, lighthearted fun, and romance to leave me desperate for more. The secondary characters were integral parts of Noah and Harlow’s journey. They made Wildflower come to life and added depth to the main characters through their personal relationships. I’m already totally intrigued and anxious for the next couple in the series. Expertly paced and undeniably stirring, Wildflower left me feeling absolutely content. I loved every moment of Noah and Harlow’s story.
To me, I think it takes a special kind of author to successfully pull off a written romantic comedy that constantly makes me laugh out loud. It was like a movie, with emotions and feelings, playing in my mind. If the readers are looking for a story that will make them feel a wide range of emotions, this is the one.
This is my 5 amazingly, funny stars for the ARC of Wildflower, by Jessica Prince. Copy provided in exchange for an honest and spoiler free review. This story has it all, it's funny, sweet, hot and sexy all at the same time. It can be also be sad and gut wrenching.
Noah and Harlow have a long standing history together. It started when they where teenagers but has never let up even if they were separated for over half a decade. They have a special kind of bond and a whole lot of chemistry. They love each other as much as they bicker. 5 years ago, Harlow left her home town, shattered and broken, she vowed to never return. Circumstances beyond her control brings her back home. Noah has let Harlow go back then but now that she's back, he will try to get her back.
The characters called to me by just being regular every day people. Jessica never disappoints with crafty, engaging and unique characters. They were funny with witty comebacks in humorous situations. Secondary characters also played a major role in this story and some will get to share their stories next.
This story is so entertaining and captivating that I devoured this book in one day. I just couldn't put it down for very long. Jessica Prince is a gifted, skilful devoted writer, her work reflects that. It's beautifully worded with a seamless plot. It's so wonderfully constructed that it had me spellbound with every words written.
This is standalone told with alternating point of view with an HEA. It's the fourth book in the Color series. Although it can be read as a standalone, I personally like to read books in a series in order for better enjoyment. Wildflower is written in a way that the readers are not missing anything or feel confuse. I highly recommend this book and also Jessica's previous book are worth your precious time and money.
Jessica Prince has quickly become one of my "go-to" authors. And she hasn't let me down yet. I'm so in love with this series, even though they don't need to be read in order, it helps if you do so you have the back story for each character.
In this story we have Harlow and Noah who met while in school together and were more in love than they ever thought possible with the plan to be together forever. Unfortunately, devastating circumstances beyond their control, tear them apart resulting in Harlow going away and starting a new life.
Until the day that she's forced to return back to her hometown. While she was starting a new life elsewhere, she never disclosed what her life was before she left and when her friends come to visit her, aren't they in for a shocker!!!
This story, like all of the Colors novels has some of the best writing I've come across. The emotions I feel when I read one of these books run the gamut from tears to joy and everything in between. There's tight friendships, some steamy sex and an overwhelmingly beautiful relationship that proves Love Conquers All!
As with all the books I've ready by Jessica, I was sucked into the story right away. I felt every emotion Harlow and Noah felt, I cried with them, I laughed with them I felt their love jumping off the pages. If you want a novel that will keep you engaged with every page you turn, go pick up this book and discover the grace of the authors' writing and her ability to tell a really good story!!!
Noah and Harlow fell desperately in love, and married young. Really young, and while they both loved each other dearly, love on its own isn't enough to make a marriage work. To make it work you need to back those feelings up with actions that reflect them, and when everything came to a head, Noah's actions were ... not enough.
Faced with that, and knowing that she deserved better, Harlow picked up and left. Not only did she leave Noah, but she left town for the bright lights of New York, leaving behind the grandmother who'd raised her, and a much younger brother who still needed his fair share of raising.
Years later, that grandmother gets sick, and that little brother is still in need of adult supervision, prompting a return as abrupt as her departure, and that's where things start getting all sorts of complicated.
This delightful novel has a wonderful cast of colorful characters, some of whom have apparently featured in other novels in the series, but were introduced in such a way that I certainly didn't feel I was expected to know things I didn't for not having read those other books.
The tension between the two main characters is superbly awkward, Despite not having seen each other for years, there's clearly still chemistry there, yet neither seem particularly sure how to navigate their new circumstances, particularly given that Harlow is now guardian to fourteen year old Ethan, up and coming football star, and Noah is now ... Coach Murphy.
Author Jessica Prince beautifully captures the innocence and claustrophobia of living in a small town. The freedom from the rat race of the big city, traded off against the inability to simply avoid that one person you'd really like to not see, since even just walking past them on the street means facing up to demons you thought were long buried.
I really enjoyed the way this book transitions seamlessly from light and funny, to heavy and serious, the subplots involving best friends and particularly how the plot kept revolving around two characters other than the two main ones, Ethan and Grammy.
In the end, a heartwarming tale about love and family that brought tears and smiles in slightly disproportionate measure. I've no hesitation in recommending it.
“I broke us,” I said in a low voice as I turned back to the wall. “And there hasn’t been a day that’s passed that I haven’t been sorry for it.” ~ Noah
I have been following the Colors series since the beginning, and I have really been enjoying all of the stories. For me, Wildflower wasn't as heartbreaking as some of the others, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy reading about Harlow and Noah. Their story was cute, and I liked them together. Harlow cracked me up. Her inner dialogue was too funny and the conversations she had with Chloe and Nevie were as funny as always! My favorite conversation? Was the conversation she had to have with her little brother, Ethan, about the birds and the bees!
“And if she tells you that you don’t need to wear one because she’s on the pill, she’s full of shit. Never trust a woman. I speak from personal experience, our gender are a bunch of manipulative bitches. No glove, no love, Ethan. Say it with me.” “I’m not saying that!” “Say it!” He pulled in a deep breath as his scowl deepened. “No glove, no love.” “That’s right,” I replied in relief. “Now, for the most important part…” “There’s more?” he yelped in a shockingly high-pitched voice. I gave him a solemn nod, hoping he understood the seriousness of what I was about to tell him. “Yes. And this is something you need to remember for the rest of your life. You ready?” Ethan’s face was a mask of stern concentration as he nodded. “The woman always comes first.” “AGH! GOD!”
HaHaHa! I couldn't stop laughing when I read that part! I imagined having that conversation with my little brother and I think I laughed for a good five minutes! It also didn't help that every time she would see Shannon, she gave her the death glare! Harlow was so funny and Noah was sweet and cute. They really were perfect together, and I would have loved to have been a fly on their wall! This was another great story from Jessica Prince!
Harlow & Noah. Holy WOW! I loved their story <3 If there is a theme I love, it's Second Chance Romance, and Jessica Prince really knows what she's doing with those.
Harlow Prewitt is super. I loved her personality for everything that is was: giving, loving, slightly self-centered (but only as much as your average person, so don't read into that), determined, and bold. SO BOLD! She doesn't take very much lying down, and if you're looking for a feisty leading lady, you've got one right here. She is also one HELL of a potty mouth, which only makes me love her more :)
Now, Noah Murphy, I dig you. I dig you like I'm a dog and you're my bone (see what I did there??). This man is in touch with his emotions, but not in a sissified, weak, annoying way. He just knows what he wants, he goes after it like only a BBF Alpha can, and no matter how much he wants o win back the love of his life, he is not a pansy-pushover.
The push and pull of their relationship never gets tired or boring. The peripheral characters are hilarious (I have never heard "the talk" go quite like that, just sayin'). The whole thing is sweet, sexy, and super fun to read. The only thing that kept it from being 5 cups was the reveal of why she left. I just kind of went, "Really? That's it? Was there more?" But! I think I just wasn't really reading into everything Jessica was putting out there (as sometimes I need things spelling out... slowly)
Nitty-Gritty, Down and Dirty: buy the dang book. Read said dang book. LOVE DANG BOOK. Done
Harlow met the man who she thought she would spend the rest of her life with at the age of sixteen. Noah was her everything. 2 years later the bottom fell out of her world and she walked away from the one person she thought would always be there. Six years later when a family tragedy brings her back home to care for her fourteen year old brother Ethan, she meets up with her past again. Can she put the past behind her and find love again or is there too much to hurt and pain to get past?
I loved this book so much. Harlow and Noah had me cracking up so much. I loved the story and Harlow's two best friends: Chloe and Navie. They are the best girlfriends that everyone would want. This book had so much emotion and just a great story. I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Jessica Prince mixes the right humor, love, lust and story to create an amazing and remembered book and characters.
"I'm pissed off and you aren't wearing a shirt! Do you have any idea how hard it is to yell at you when you aren't wearing a shirt?"
If I hadn't been so focused on his smooth, perfect skin that covered large mounds of muscle glowing in the light from the front porch, I wouldn't have missed the shit-eating grin that spread across his face.
"Fair is fair wildflower. You can take yours off too and we'll call it even."
**Blogger Note: I received this ARC from author in exchange for an honest review.**
Wildflower tells us the story of how Harlow and Noah came to be. We are introduced to Harlow in the previous book of this companion series, Love Hate Relationship.
Harlow meets the love of her life at a very young age... Noah Murphy, the new boy in town who has caught all the girls attention. When he randomly decides to talk to Harlow one day, it all begins. Over the next few years, things get complicated and fast.
Almost six years later, she finds herself reliving her past. When she runs into Noah, feelings of the past, good and bad, coming rushing back.
I loved this book. Harlow is funny and witty, she is all female with a big mouth and terribly funny mood swings. The supporting characters are just as well written and funny. We met Navie in Love Hate Relationship but in Wildflower we meet Harlow's childhood friend, Chloe.
"All of a sudden, a shit-eating grin broke across her face. 'What was it like to lose your virginity for a second time to the same dude?'"
Noah was a strong male character. He was funny and confident in what he wanted and how he was going to get it. He wasn't overbearing, he had just enough alpha that wasn't too over kill.
"Keep your fucking lips to yourself or I'll rip 'em off and kiss my own ass with them."
Jessica Prince has the rom-com down! She will make you laugh and cry all at once.
I received a ARC of Wildflower by Jessica Price in return for an honest opinion.
I just adore this series and Wildflower is no exception to the rule!
This book is #4 in the series. Although I agree that all 4 books could be read as stand alones, I would advise against it. You would miss some truly beautiful stories and amazing characters along the way. All the characters from the different books are in the other books as they intertwine. You will not however miss any of the story line or miss any information by reading as a stand alone.
Jessica Prince really knows how to pull at the heart strings. This story was an emotional rollercoaster that you could not wait to be on.
She is so talented at making you feel for the characters and see beyond the mask that we all tend to wear. The characters seem more like family then functional strangers. I love how easily I find myself attached and even invested in them, their past, their future and the journey along the way.
This story is a very sweet and touching story of young love that could not make it in the test of time. After a tragedy, the once lovers and now strangers find themselves face to face once again.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend the entire series to all those who love sweet, sappy and heart filled romances.

I really loved this book. I read this as a stand alone and it worked well for me. It was the perfect mix of a sweet, hot, and funny love story. The characters were wonderful especially Harlow. I felt much happiness while reading this. i also experienced fear as shown through Harlow's eyes. This story started off great and just kept getting better by each chapter.
Harlow is a teen girl who has a bit of a hard life. With heartache after heartache she is much tougher than she thinks. She thought and hoped that she was done with her ex hubby Noah until he shows back up in town. This annoys yet intrigues her. Ethan, Harlow's little brother, has missed her so much. They are so close and I love their relationship. She is a great big sister and ready to be one again, after her absence for years.
This is the first book I have read by this author. I am very impressed by her writing style as it was fun, fresh, and fast. I loved her continuous humor as it was very well done. I very much enjoyed how she wrote about the inner thoughts of her characters, especially Harlow's. This made it so fun and relatable to read. I plan to read many more books by this author asap.
I received an arc of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
Oh my. What a perfect story! It has everything you want ... humor, witty banter, hilarious dialogue, sweetness and super steamy scenes.
I devoured every part of Wildflower. The Colors series is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite series ever. The characters have depth and are engaging.
Jessica Prince has definitely come into her own when discovering her talent of writing RomCom's. She could make a grocery list funny, I'm sure of it.
You won't regret a single moment of reading Wildflower - I snort-laughed, laughed out loud, sighed and... well, I liked it all. No, scratch that. I LOVED it all.
