The Blooming of Bud
Hah. I picked this book hoping for less annoying characters than in the first book of the series. But wouldn't you know it... Annoying, mentally challenged and talking-like-a-toddler Maggie also gets a lot of screentime in this book, since she now WORKS FOR BUD - probably trying to ruin his new store the way she miscalculates prices and behaves towards customers... urk...
Listened to this one in audiobook form and sadly the 2nd main character (Pascal) is French - and the audio narrator doesn't know any French and mispronounces the simplest words... and adds a fake French accent to EVERYTHING written from Pascals POV (which is about half the book!!). Pascal sounds like some cartoon villain, which is really annoying for the love interest in a romance book.
Reading the book would probably have been the better choice. Just can advice everyone to do that instead of listening to the audiobook.
