Home Grown Talent
by Sally Malcolm, Joanna Chambers
This book is about gorgeous model/influencer Mason, who is trying to make it in the TV business, and professional gardener Owen, who is Lewis’s brother from book 1. Owen and Mason already vaguely knew each other from when Mason dated Lewis, and Owen has always had a bit of a crush on him. He admired Mason’s beauty, and he wondered if there was more behind the man than the superficial stuff he shows online.
When the opportunity arises for Owen and Mason to do a TV segment together on gardening, Mason jumps at the chance, and Owen tentatively agrees as well, even if it might only be to make Mason happy.
What Owen doesn’t know, however, is that Mason has been instructed by the TV producer to show a flirty “will they/won’t they?” relationship to the viewers, and thus, when the two grow closer over the weeks, the question will remain: what is real between them and what is fake?
I felt like this was written very well and the pacing was also super pleasant. The chemistry between Mason and Owen was great, and their medium slow-burn mixed in with a bit of pining was just lovely. I truly loved Mason and his character was right up my alley.
My only true complaint is that I simply did not like Owen much. His holier-than-thou attitude annoyed me quite a bit and some of his personality traits started to truly grate on me in the second half of the book. Honestly, I personally think Mason could have done better than him. I just feel like Owen didn’t always appreciate Mason for the caring and bubbly person he was aside from his stunning good looks.
But oh well, other than that, they really were cute together. And I did like reading about their relationship a lot. The rest of the actual plot was also very entertaining!
