'll start off by saying that before I read this book, I was in a reading funk. I could not bring myself to read anything, despite the fact that my long list of books to read just keeps getting longer and longer. I didn't expect this book to bring me out of my funk. In fact, if I'm being honest, I expected to be bored by it, like I get bored watching those dating shows on TV.
But I was wrong. Not only did this book bring me out of that lag phase I was experiencing, but it gave me renewed will to read books.

ACCEPT THIS DANDELION made me laugh, sob, and cringe in embarrassment. It’s a great “fish out of water” romance and my favorite Brooke Williams book to date.

Ms Williams writes engaging and flowing stories with believable and endearing characters and this one is no exception.

Book Inspirations
I have always loved the TV show The Bachelor. I don't know what my fascination is, but I have never missed a single show of any season. When watching the show, I came up with the idea for "Accept this Dandelion." What if a local TV station put out a smaller version of the show? What if one of the contestants couldn't do anything right? These questions led to the first chapter of the book, which I then entered into a writing contest. The contest was layered and the chapter made it through a few levels...far enough that I had to write two more chapters! Then, the online voting began and I just don't like bugging people to vote for stuff so I didn't move any farther in the contest. But the book was still in my mind. I let it sit for a few months and then I sat and finished it within a few weeks. I had to know what happened myself! It was funny to see the look on my husband's face as I giggled over this book. "Do you want to know what I had happen to this poor girl now?" I'd ask. It was written in a sleep deprived state as my youngest daughter was very little and not sleeping through the night. I honestly didn't know it was funny until it was accepted for publication and my editor told me it was a romantic comedy. I thought that I laughed over it because I was sleep deprived. So, when this one comes out, I recommend reading it on little to no sleep. Guarantee you'll be rolling on the floor laughing! :)
