They say there’s no such thing as perfect.
But I’ve built my life to perfection—the perfect boyfriend, the perfect apartment, the perfect career planning celebrity weddings. My job—my only job—is to make sure every event is absolutely and completely perfect.
What’s not perfect? Kash Bennet.
And I wish I didn’t find that so appealing.
I could have told you every perfectly imperfect thing about the gardener at Longbourne. Like his hair, lush and black and far too long. Or his nose, the flat bridge of a Greek god, bent a little like it’s been broken. Or his size. Beastly. Roped and corded with muscles, gleaming with sweat and peppered with dirt.
There’s no escaping him, not if I’m going to use his family’s flower shop for my events.
But nothing is what it seems. And in the span of a heartbeat, my perfect life is turned inside out.
They say the best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody new. When Kash offers his services to the cause, it sounds like the perfect plan.
What’s not part of the plan? Falling in love with the gardener.
But they were right—there’s no such thing as perfect.
And I’m the fool who finds out the hard way.

Christy's Review:

Gilded Lily is the second book in the Bennet Brothers series and I was so happy to reunite with this family. This is very much an opposites attract/slow burn romance and I ate it up!

Kash Bennet is the Bennet brother most like his father. He's the gardener, the one who's never left his family, and the most laid back and even tempered. That's why he's tasked to deal with Lila Parker. Lila is Ivy's sister and a high class wedding planner. She's the opposite of Kash in so many ways, and at first, she clashes with him some, but she can't help but to be won over by his charms and easy going demeanor. They end up working together a lot through the florist and when Lila goes through a bad break up, Kash is there.

“The reason rebounds exist, why they happen so often, is that when you’ve been hurt, a distraction makes you forget the pain. And I’ve been told I’m an excellent distraction.”

Their story starts with a good old fashioned rebound. No one is looking for anything serious, they even have rules. But rules are meant to be broken when it comes to matters of the heart. With just a short amount of time, these two start to fall hard for one another. And who could blame Lila? Kash Bennet is an easy guy to fall for.

Kash is for sure my favorite Bennet brother so far. There was so much to love about him. I also really loved Lila, too. I love heroines like her. She is a boss babe, a hard worker, and a little high strung but in a good way. I loved how much she cared for her sister, and how she could remain tough and stoic even when faced with adversity. As much as loved them both separately, they really shined when they were together. They complimented each other perfectly.

Staci Hart always writes the best feel good romances. She never fails to put a smile on my face while reading. Gilded Lily is a heartwarming romance that is equal parts sweet and sexy. I'm excited to get more of these Bennet Brother books, especially reading that teaser chapter for Marcus's book! I NEED!!!

“As long as I’m with you, everything’s all right.”
