About this listen

Heartbroken after a bitter divorce, Brendan finds solace in running his beloved flower shop. His vow to think twice before jumping into a new relationship becomes hard to keep when he meets Hugh, a flamboyant hairstylist with skillful hands and a cheeky smile.

Hugh has finally succeeded in opening his own salon, but the glow of his success is overshadowed by not having anyone to celebrate it with. When brawny, six-foot-three Brendan appears on his doorstep with a bouquet of exquisite flowers, Hugh is tempted to break his no-dating-clients rule. Their friendship blooms fast but so does Hugh’s suspicion of Brendan being straight.

One kiss changes everything though. Hugh’s world is set on fire, and even if Brendan gets cold feet, Hugh isn’t about to let go of what could be love. A story of second chances, idiots in love, and steamy jacuzzi scenes.

A standalone book 1 (novella) introducing the series of MM books from the contemporary Pursuit of Love series.

Fun short novella!

4.5 Stars! For my second read through of this novella I listened to the audiobook. The narrator did a fantastic job and both MCs were done so well.

This was a super cute, sexy, fun novella. If you’re looking for a short read after a long day and just need something easy this is absolutely a book for you!

I loved both Brendan and Hugh from the start. They were friends for a while and harboured secret feelings for each other so even though this was a short read their love and romance didn’t feel rushed or fake.

I loved all the different flower meanings and especially loved the FU bouquet! I am a huge fan of piercings in books so was super excited to discover all the secret piercings on one of the MCs! One thing I love in books is when the MCs just have fun with each other in the bedroom. There were so many laughs and funny sentences during their sexy scenes and love how you can feel the chemistry and rightness between the characters when that happens!

My only thing is that it was too easy because it was so short. Would have loved to have more time with the MCs! However, I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more by this author!

Super cute


Oh, I just loved this!!! It was ultra romantic and swoony. This couple was adorable, and I enjoyed their beautiful journey. They were totally made for each other. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life. I enjoyed the accent too.

Spicy quick novella!

K.C. does it again!! The angst of this novella had me ready to throw the phone (if I didn’t need it) because of the idiocy of these two men. Granted, in Hugh’s defense, he was oblivious to Brendan’s advances, but there’s only so much ignorance one can use. But when they finally get their heads from out of their asses, fireworks erupted into flames of an inferno!!

Loved the narration, too! But, I also have a weakness for an English accent so he could have talked about physics and I would have been enamored. Either way, Freddie’s performance was honeyed and enticing. His ability to capture the emotion and energy of the characters, along with their personality was lifting. And the intimacy, his gravely and seductive nature sucks you right there. Amazing performance!!

Loved it❤️

This was a lovely romance, I loved the combination of heart, vulnerability, and intimacy in Hugh and Brendan’s story. The narrator gives an engaging performance, maybe a touch distracting, but lots of personality. I loved how hesitant and skittish they are at the outset. I was so happy Brendan took a chance with his bouquet for his crush Hugh as it opened the door for a wonderfully romantic and steamy listen.

Great Story & Listen🎧A Charming & Steamy Delight

I enjoyed this book immensely, a sweet-and-spicy treat of a novella and a wonderful story to enjoy in one sitting. The characters are likable and realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. Brendan is a florist and a flower enthusiast, knowing the meaning behind each flower and color, knowledge that helps him make some meaningful arrangements. He has been living a lonely life after his failed marriage and his one thing he looks forward to is his monthly appointment at the hair salon, when his hairdresser, Hugh, gets his hands on him to do his magic with his hair. He longs for Hugh’s touch and wishes it was more, but Hugh does not show that kind of interest to him or does he. Hugh was clueless in more ways than one and it wasn’t until the obvious was pointed out to him that put a fire under him to go for what he always wanted, Brendan. This charming and delightful story has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. K.C. Carmine, thank you for the fabulously entertaining story.

🎧📚🎧 Freddie Wills did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who he was portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions, as well as their passion, and had you feel it all. Wills is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fabulous listen.

Hotter than a jacuzzi!

I first discovered this steamy short story as an ebook and loved it. Once I learned there was an audio version, I jumped on it!

The story is so much fun. Hugh and Brendan are both dynamic characters that you'll love from the beginning. Despite being such a short story, K.C. Carmine was able to write fully developed characters and love story that didn't feel rushed or lacking. The two main characters have actually known (and wanted) each other for a year. This story picks up right as they begin to realize they've both been a little dense and act on those feelings, so it's not an insta-love kind of story, which I appreciated.

The first half of the novella is them figuring out their feelings and what to do about the misunderstandings between them. The second half of the story is melt-your-device steam. Seriously, Carmine packed more heat than should be possible into a bathroom scene. But it unfolded naturally and didn't feel rushed or forced.

Overall, the story is sweet, fun, and swoony. Both MCs are incredibly likeable, though Brendan's loveable bear qualities are my favorite. As a narrator, Freddie Wills did a great job. The MCs are from different parts of London and he made their accents shine. I appreciated the authenticity there. And who doesn't love a British accent?

Give this one a listen when you need a quick, fun escape for a couple of hours!

Sweet & Sexy

I have to say that the audiobook had me falling in love with the story all over again. Freddie Wills gave voice to the characters that I heard while I was reading the book. The audiobook is short but it made cleaning, cooking and driving much more enjoyable.

I'll be waiting for more audiobooks from K.C. Carmine's books!

fun spicy quick listen

This was my first audiobook narrated by Freddie Wills and if he stays as commanding as in this one it will not be my last. He is British so some may need to turn the speed down, but I found it very easy to understand.

It was a fun and quick hot read. Hugh & Brendan have had crushes on the other for over a year and yet don't see the other has the same feelings. When a miscommunication happens, Brendan is hurt until Hugh comes to fix the mistake. Followed by so much passion, you can't believe this happens in such a quick read. It is not only spicy but sweet as well. Well worth the listen.

The Flower Arrangement is my favourite KC Carmine novel and I loved the book.

The audiobook made me fall in love with the book and characters all over again! Freddie Wills did an excellent job in conveying the humour and emotions of the two MMCs.

I absolutely adored this book

Slow-Burn Romance

I liked this novella. The flow, character development, and storyline were good. The panty melting scenes were hot. I liked the ending. The narrator did a great job.
