review 1: Love love loved it! It was really great to read about a romance with external conflict instead of internal for once. The fact that it's also a bit of a romantic suspense made it a million times more enjoyable, too. Royal and Caroline sizzled... They were perfect together and their sexytimes were smokin' hot. I loved how they supported each other and had each others backs. Caro dealt with Anne, Royal's ex, perfectly. I didn't like Anne much in previous books and I really hated her in this one until she wised up. Royal being all sneaky alpha was really sexy and I dig his reaction to the racist assholes that have Caroline grief. Their romance was awesome. Just awesome. No conflict between them, no Big Misunderstandings, no denial of emotions... It was a nice change from chick... moreenshit characters that refuse their own happiness.As for the murderer/stalker... The author handled that really well. It took up the right amount of page time, it was appropriately disturbing, and the threats weren't over-the-top. My only complaint is that I wish it had turned out to be somebody we had already met, like one of the racist assholes. Because they totally deserved to be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives.This is definitely one of my favorite Lauren Dane books, without a doubt. She just mailed it this time. Homerun. Bullseye. Whatever. I'd absolutely recommend it.I wrote this review on my phone, so please ignore any misspellings or typos.
review 2: This is really a 3.5 star rating.One of my all time favourite series is the Chase brothers. I was so happy when Lauren continued the series in Petal as there are so many wonderful characters to continue writing about and the Murphy family has been wonderful to follow.You can never read too much about Polly Chase and Edward is really becoming another force to be reckoned with!Caroline Mendoza and Royal Watson have a wonderful chemistry together and having such a strong female character was fantastic. Lauren made Royal very supportive but also showed how he could be strong for Caroline at the right times as well as knowing when to step back and let Caroline stay true to herself. The only disappointment was further into the book, there were a number of times that I needed to re-read paragraphs as it was difficult to tell who was speaking. Then there were random sentences that didn't lead anywhere or make sense in the context that they were written. It became disjointed in places, interrupting the potential of a free flowing story that you want to be immersed in.I really wanted this to be a 5 star book as I enjoy this series. The storyline was fascinating and the characters are captivating so I am looking forward to the next Petal book. less
