We have a preview and a giveaway for Hothouse Flower ~ Its apparently romantic with a slight paranormal edge with perhaps a bit of magical realism? It sounds fluffy and fun and what a gorgeous girly cover.
About: Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire is one woman’s journey from the modeling and advertising world of New York City to the rain forests of the Yucatan Peninsula. From the hot and steamy plant dealers in the Union Square Green Market, to the curanderos, herbalists and shamans of Southern Mexico.
Lila Nova is a 32-year-old advertising copywriter who lives alone in a plain white box of an apartment. Recovering from a heartbreaking divorce, Lila has a simple mantra: no pets, no plants, no people, no problems. But when she meets David Exley, a ruggedly handsome plant dealer, a country-sexual, as she calls him, her lonely life turns into something far more colorful. From the harsh streets of Manhattan to the verdant jungles of the Yucatan, Hothouse Flower is the story of a woman who travels beyond sense and comfort to find out what she really wants.
To purchase via Amazon ~ US/UK/Canada.

I wonder what kind of plants Margot has?

I've seen mixed reviews on this one but as a gardener I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy a book about sexy flowers.
