Coming Up Roses (Southern Roots) Kindle Edition

by LK Farlow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,224 ratings
Myla Rose McGraw may be twenty, single, and pregnant, but she's no damsel in distress. She doesn't need a man. After all, her Grams taught her a thing or two about making lemonade out of life's lemons.

Then she meets Cash Carson.

Reeling from a bad breakup, Cash has sworn off love. It led to nothing but pain and misery, and he’s determined to move forward alone.
Until a redheaded Southern beauty crashes into him. With her shopping cart. At the local Piggly Wiggly.

If love wasn't for him, why did his heart beat a little faster every time Myla Rose sent that sweet smile his way?

He was no knight, and she didn't need saving.

But damn if he didn't want to try anyway.

COMING UP ROSES is a sweet, Southern fairy tale—with a twist.

"Coming Up Roses is a smart, Southern charmer that's hotter than the Fourth of July and sweeter than the iced tea at dinner. A five-star debut from a talented new author. One-click now!"-USA Today bestselling author Ella James

Five Amazing Stars I was just absolutely thrilled to read this enjoy this first book from this amazing new series, Southern Roots. Written by my newest author, L.K. Farlow. We Myla Rose McGraw who is a new wonderful journey and life. She is now facing a lot in her life now. She's young, single and pregnant and now she will on her own! Cash knew this night was going to be perfect. Everything was in place. I knew I'd get home before her. The food was her favourite. All the decorations were now set, and most of all I had the ring. Everything was now prepared and ready. I just know my girl, Kayla would just be so happy! Receiving a call from my brother, Jake who was still worried about everything. Especially after everyone we knew didn't even like her either. Asking Cash if he should be doing this at all. Kayla arrives home early. She's doesn't even answering any of my questions. What's wrong? Cash notices someone in bed with her, and they're having sex, together. She loudly states out the guys name, Kevin. She's been having an affair. Immediately after telling Kevin that he's not her brother either. Cash just knew he just had to leave immediately, he was so glad he hadn't proposed now! Stopping after this long drive at this local Motel. The dingy room to sleep in stunk. Noticing his families missed call, but nothing from my ex. Cash answered his mobile and it was Jake. Asking if he was still getting married, he answers a big no. His brother pleads him to just come home, and to never give up. Jake wants him to return to the house, pack up and come home to his family. Waking up to the sound of thumping on the doorstep. It's Kayla, and she has all my stuff. She tells me we're completely over. After all those years she was just giving up all together. Cash was now angry. Totally pissed off. Cash knew it was his time to head home!! I completely adored this marvellous book. So sweet, and just so romantically beautiful. I thoroughly adored all your wonderful magnificent characters. And I am just so excited about the next book of this delicious series too. A complete winner this book is!! * I recommend this book to everyone!!

    LK Farlow’s debut novel, Coming Up Roses, Southern Roots #1, is a small town romance that will have you looking for your next fix of sugar after finishing because it’s that sweet.

    Myla Rose is a southern girl through and through. Abandoned by her Mother and brought up by her Grams, she takes life head on. So, when she finds herself pregnant by a truly conceited, entitled jerk, she does what she has to. She moves forward with the knowledge that she will be a single mother.

    Cash has had his share of woman trouble and is not looking for anything or anyone new in his life. A run in with Myla at the Piggly Wiggly has him rethinking that stance. Cash is a true southern gentleman and will make your heart beat a little faster and have you fanning yourself saying “Oh my”.

    Reading about Myla and Cash’s journey was heartwarming and humorous. Helping the story along are friends of each that are examples of true southern men and women.

    Ms. Farlow’s writing is creative and true. Her character development was outstanding. This is a debut novel that will be recommended over and over again. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series.

    ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ 4-STAR ✩ REVIEW ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩

    > > Judging a Book by its Cover < <

    > > Looking Deeper < <
    POV ~> Alternating first-person

    Personally, I am not normally one to read New Adult due to the immature actions/reactions, angst, and unnecessary drama that tend to come along with it and while Myla Rose and Cash were mostly mature enough, there was still plenty of angst and drama. That said, my biggest problem with this story is that everywhere I’ve lived, a salon employee (especially one doing color treatments) has to hold a certification in cosmetology, yet Myla is described as a 19 or 20-year-old high school dropout that is not only one of the stylists, but co-owns the shop with her best friend of same/similar age.
    That all said, I liked both of the lead characters, their friends, even most of his family. The plot was sweet and the Southern Charm was endearing. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I enjoyed her writing style, it was smooth and the story was well-paced and flowed nicely. There many incidents of miscommunication or wrong assumptions made by one or the other lead that led to several bumps in the road that could have easily been avoided but, hey, like I’d mentioned earlier… “New Adult”. It was expected and did not let me down in that regard.
    All in all, predictability was low and the conclusion was solid.
    I did enjoy the book for the story it told and would consider reading the other books in the series.

    This book was everything I could’ve hoped for and more! This showed the ups and downs, curves and straights that come with relationships especially a relationship that includes a baby.
    This had me cheering, trying to hide in my blankets, nearly reaching for tissues and my heart racing with excitement and glee. This author really knows how to get you connected to the character, I felt like I was experiencing it as the character or along side the character.
    I gave this five stars because it deserved more than Five, I’d say at least ten stars, but all I can give is five but I’m certain anyone would love this book, it’s not on the smutty side, it only has one ‘sex scene’ if you can call it that, it’s more eluding to the fact that it happened than anything which gives this story even more props because it wasn’t ridiculous or raunchy, it had just the right amount of everything. Thank you for keeping it classy and keeping it real! I can’t wait to read the other books of this series or any other story by this author because it’s so genuine, real and greatly written. Keep up the great work!!

    I loved LK’s Rebel series so I thought I would check out her other books. Coming Up Roses appears to be her debut book and the first in her Southern Roots Series. I really enjoyed it, it was a sweet southern romance. A dash of angst with a whole lot of charm!

    Myla Rose was on her own yet again but that wasn’t going to stop her. She was fierce, determined and could do anything she put her mind to. She didn’t need a man in her life, well, until she tried to run one over with her shopping cart.

    Cash had just moved to be closer to family after a bad break up. He figured he would lay low and get back on his feet before figuring out the next chapter of his life. But when a woman came crashing into his life, would he be able to stop fate?

    Cash and Myla Rose were very cute together, I felt myself smiling a lot. I appreciated Cash’s good nature and how his emotions proved he was human. I also loved the banter of Azalea and Drake! I can’t wait to read their story next!!

    Coming Up Roses is an unusual story where a young woman tells her boyfriend she's pregnant and he tells her he doesn't want her or the baby. Ok, not so unusual yet. She decided she would raise the baby on her own. She doesn't need a man. I liked how she was going to handle it herself. And she had lots of great friends who had her back. She doesn't want anything to do with the new man in town who is enamored with her and wants to help her any way he can.

    This is a sweet romance with some spice and great characters. Some you wanted to hug and some you wanted to slap upside the head. I loved this young woman and was hoping everything would work out for her. I highly recommend this book, especially if you like sweet romances with a few chuckles and a bit of spice.

    The depth of pain, mistrust, hurt and love is just perfectly written in this story, and for anyone that has ever had their heart broken and thinks they can never trust again, well this is the perfect story for you. L.K. has done a stellar job of building that connection of mending a broken heart. These are the most perfect characters, Myla Rose with her sweet, feisty and fragile personality is just so delightfully written, Cash is that rugged man we all want that will fight to protect us, but will hold you close and comfort you when you need it most.

    Cash has had his heart torn out by a woman he had planned to marry, Myla Rose is pregnant to a man who refuses to acknowledge the baby, but together they need to work out if they can trust again, or will one big lie tear them apart.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Grundsätzlich eine süße Geschichte mit Herzschmerz
    Reviewed in Germany on August 16, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Ich hatte das Glück, dass ich dieses Buch kostenlos erworben habe. Die Beschreibung klang ganz gut, deswegen war ich froh drum, es lesen zu können.
    Das Buch gehört zwar zu einer Reihe, es kann aber auch als eigenständiges Buch gelesen werden, da die Geschichte abgeschlossen ist. Die anderen Büchern behandeln die anderen Charaktere, die in diesen Buch vorkommen.

    Ich lese schon seit einiger Zeit englische Bücher, jedoch musst ich mich ein bisschen an diesen Southern Accent gewöhnen. Das geht aber eig ganz gut.
    Sonst wird die Liebensgeschichte zwischen Cash und Myla Rose erzählt. Erst deren vorherigen Beziehung, die böse zu Ende ging und dann wie die beiden zu aneinender gefunden haben. Cash wurde 3 Jahre von seiner Freundin betrogen und Myla Rose ist von ihren Kindheitsschwarm schwanger geworden, der aber ein Idiot ist und nichts von dem Kind wissen möchte.
    Wie es nicht anderes zu erwarten war, gab es viele Auf und Abs und natürlich viele Missverständnisse. Am Ende ist aber Friede Freude Eierkuchen, also ein Happy End.

    So ein Art von Geschichte habe ich auch erwartet, aber deswegen liest man diese Geschichten ja. Am Ende soll ja immer alles gut werden.
    Es war recht spannend geschrieben, sodass ich direkt von Anfang wissen wollte, wie es weiter geht. Es ging auch direkt recht spannend los und Zeitlücken, wo nichts spannendes passiert, wurden auch nur kurz beschrieben und nicht unnötig in die Länge gezogen, wie es manchmal bei solchen Geschichten ist.
    Ich fand aber doch, dass die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Cash und Myla Rose sich ein bisschen zu schnell entwickelt hat. Nach nicht mal 6 Monaten kennen, sind die beiden schon verheiratet. Einige Missverständnisse hätte erspart werden können, aber auch das war nicht anderes zu erwarten.

    Alles in allen war es eine recht süße Geschichte, die man gut zum Abschalten lesen kann. Wenn man auf solche Geschichten steht, kann man mit diesen Buch nicht viel falsch machen. Wenn man eine tiefgründige Geschichte erwartet, der wird hier enttäuscht werden.
