The Flower Shop Arrangement

This book was so sweet! The Flower Shop Arrangement by R. Cayden is filled with fluff and honest caring, making it a delightful read. The story revolves around Nicholas, a hopeless romantic who's always dreamed of love and a relationship. But just this once, he decides to dip his toes into the hook-up scene—enter Clay, the awkward loner carpenter who's inherited a building in the heart of the gay district.

Nicholas and Clay become fast friends, and as the lines blur between friendship and something more, Nicholas realizes his heart is fully invested. On the other hand, Clay has always shunned relationships, preferring solitude, but Nicholas makes him question everything. He starts doing sweet things for Nicholas, just to see him smile, and even finds himself smiling along.

The looming expiration date of their arrangement weighs heavily on them both, with Clay knowing he might break Nicholas's heart when he eventually leaves. But their connection is undeniable, and neither can hold back anymore.

These two were adorable as hell, even if their secret rendezvous and growing feelings were much less secret than they thought.
