Violets are not Blue

Melissa Toppen is a new author to me and I am surprised I have not come across her books before. Narrator Leanne Woodward is also new to me. This is Blue Daniels and Harris Avery story Although there was some angst there wasn’t too much which was good. These two should not work as a couple and yet they do. I enjoyed the push and pull dynamics of their relationship. I also liked that Blue was not afraid to stand up for her beliefs. I loved how all in Harris was and that he was determined to show Blue that he is the one for her; he is totally swoon worthy. There was humour and romance and the narrator did a good job with her performance. Will Harris be able to convince Blue? One click and find out.

I went back and forth with my feelings on Harris. In the beginning I found him arrogant and abrasive. A player trying to seduce and flirt his way in. Then I thought he was calculating and manipulative and wore Blue down. In the end, he had a huge heart and was willing to raise another man\’s child just to have Blue. He had some really chivalrous moments that showed his true colors and I appreciated that aspect. The flowers and poems were cheesy. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

This book was simply lovely and entertaining like a breeze of fresh air. It was my very first read by Melissa Toppen. I was laughing and I was sad and I very much loved the rhymes. I loved Harris\’ persistence and Violet\’s denial, they actually fit like a pair of gloves. From hate to love, from disappointment to happiness. I truly enjoyed the whole story and also the narration was greatly done.

This contemporary romance was a wonderful story about two people who date on a “bet” with each other. Neither Blue nor Harris seem to be people who would be committed to anybody, but love is just around the corner… if only Blue will let it. The narrator was wonderful and did a great job acting both the female and male POV. I loved the evolution of this relationship as the characters learn to love and take a chance.

I absolutely loved this story! It just made me smile multiple times. The story is so sweet! He secretly likes her but was told hands off…now he has a chance and he is not going to waste trying to get her to be his…forever. These characters are simply wonderful. He has a poor reputation and she is off love. There is Some challenges made with each other and each thinking they are a shoo in to win. What I love is all the sweet things he does for her to get her to fall for him. I really enjoyed this! I loved her name (Blue Daniels) his name (Harris) as well as the whole “Roses are Red” notes. There were a couple moments that I didn’t understand why she would do what she did. But que sera sera… I liked the characters and the story. I did listen to this on audio and Leanne Woodward did the narration. She does a good job.
