Can a runaway bride find love with someone else’s jilted groom?

Flower shop owner Flora has waited years to say “I do” but when she gets to the altar, all she can say is “I can’t.”
Ex-ballplayer Dean waits for his turn to find wedded bliss but has nothing to say when his bride-to-be texts that she’s not coming.
As Flora makes her escape from the chapel in Las Vegas, she barrels into Dean and it changes everything.
They never expect to spend the night together.
One perfect night where they share everything but names, numbers, or even Facebook pages. In the morning, Dean leaves without waking Flora, thinking the note he leaves will be enough.
Maybe it would have been if Flora had found it.
Once they get back to the real world, Flora can’t stop thinking about Dean. And Dean keeps dreaming of Flora. Could they be closer than they think?
When fate steps in with a bouquet of flowers, will Flora and Dean get a second chance at love? And will they be ready to take it?
With a hint of Runaway Bride and a bit of Serendipity, Flora and Dean discover some love stories are perfectly played.

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr is a fabulous romantic comedy about a florist and a baseball player.

Can a florist and a baseball player make it work?

Flora Shaughnessy

Flora is our main female character and love interest to Dean. We first follow her, then Dean and doing that makes it flow better in my head. Flora is the youngest with three older brothers, who are a lot older than her, and has a florist family business. She is a great character that has her flaws, but she is embracing them even more now without Thomas, her husband-to-be. Flora learns a lot about herself without Thomas around and loves the way that she is without him trying to make her into someone that she isn’t.

What I like about Flora is that she is a superb character and knows kind of what Dean is going through as an ex softball player herself. She is also a big nerd and can geek out about Star Wars with no problems. Once Flora sets her mind on something, she will work hard to get it or at least to get the other person to see that.

Dean Coulson

Dean is our main male character and Flora’s love interest. He is an ex-professional baseball player that got out of the game because he hurt his arm. Dean’s ex-girlfriend and his bride-to-be was a lot different than Flora and wanted him to quit being who he is. Of course, Dean couldn’t see any of this until after she broke off the wedding that she wanted. Dean, just like Flora, has grown a lot without Evelyn, his ex,  trying to change him.

What I like about Dean is that he didn’t want to start something with Flora until he knew that she was ready to be with him. He is a lovely friend to Flora and helps her out with anything that she needs him to do.

I think that both Flora and Dean changed throughout this book. They have both returned to the people that they were before.

Five Stars

Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr is a great romantic comedy about what happens when you realize that the person you are with isn’t the right one. Flora and Dean have some ups and downs in here, but it makes a fabulous story. I am giving five stars to Perfectly Played by Holly Kerr and recommending it to everyone who reads romantic comedies out there.
