(Wildflowers, #4)
Publication date: December 6th 2016
Genres: New Adult, Romance



The daughter of a renown media mogul, Poppy Koslowski has her life turned upside down overnight when her father is indicted for a massive fraud that leads to the loss of her family’s fortune. In the wake of the scandal, Poppy moves to Paris at the behest of her aunt, the Countess Domel, who, unbeknownst to Poppy, intends to find a wealthy husband for her niece in order to ensure her future. Poppy, however, has her own dreams of finishing school and realizing her goal of becoming an award-winning journalist. When she meets Henri Olin, the passionate and seductive illegitimate son of one of France’s most powerful politicians, his political and social ideology introduces Poppy to a world very different from her own. Yet, Poppy ultimately learns that everything comes at a price, even love. After suffering a devastating loss, Poppy finds herself alone and virtually penniless, and is forced to make her way back to America to piece together the remnants of her life in New York City. There, she rediscovers her passion once again, only to be confronted with yet another life choice, one that will forever shape her destiny.


This is my first read of Vivian Winslow, its very well written and the story flows well. I enjoyed the read i didn't love it though for me personally i wanted something more!! Maybe if i had read some of Vivian Winslow previous work i.e the Gilded Flowers Series which i believe Poppy Features in i would have connected more with her. Don't get me wrong this is a standalone read it's just for me i think it would have helped.

The story starts when Poppy's life is turned upside down when her father is imprisoned for fraud, bringing disgrace to her family. Two years later and her Mother is Marrying for money this is where i felt for Poppy her life was being dictated by her Mother and her Aunt all for money. Life is more than money but i suppose if thats the life your used too it becomes the most important. But you could see that it wasn't what made Poppy happy.

The book then follows Poppy's life and the decision's made, some with heartbreaking consequences for her. This book is very well written with beautiful descriptions of the decisions Poppy makes in life and love. If your a fan of Vivian's work you'll love and  get lost within this story i think for it to happen for me i need to start from the beginning. Which after reading this book i'm more than intrigued to do.

Author Bio:
Vivian Winslow was born and raised in Southern California. Before becoming a writer, she made a career out of moving around the world every couple of years thanks to her husband’s job and her incurable wanderlust. She currently lives in New York City with her husband and two elementary school age children, and is grateful to finally have a place to call home for more than two years.
New York is the perfect city to indulge her love of fashion, the arts and especially food. If she’s not at home writing or running around the city with her kids, you’ll most likely find her eating at the newest restaurant in her beloved Lower East Side or having a cocktail at her favorite bar in Alphabet City. That said, she’s still a California girl at heart and would gladly trade in her heels for a pair of flip-flops to catch a sunset on the beach.
