**This is book five of a series, but it can be read as a standalone.
Four of my best friends and I started a journey five years ago not knowing where it would take us. We built an empire from the bottom up, and now we are successful businesswomen. But one thing has been missing: love.
Dahlia
My name is Dahlia Lucas and I’m one of the chemists in our company, ScentSations. Unlike my friends, I don’t put faith in much of anything.
Especially love.
As a chemist, time for real life is out of the question, so friends with benefits suit me best. All the fun without the commitment and whining.
Enter Griff Howell, who turns everything I believe into question.
Only time and extensive research can give me a real answer. I need to know which one of us is right. He swears love is real, but I know it is nothing more than lust and pheromones.
Dahlia is the next of our Scentsations women to meet her match. And boy did she when she met Griff.
Strange things happen when they are together. Can Dahlia let her guard down enough to let Griff in?
The chemistry is there in this book. I would have liked a little more. I felt like just as I was starting to like the characters, it was over. Sigh. The curse of a novella!
Dahlia by Chelle C. Craze is the last book in the Scentsations Empire series. Dahlia is a person that doesn't believe in real love, doesn't believe that she will find anyone...but Griff has plans to prove her wrong. Dahlia has never before been attracted to someone the way she is him, and that scares her. Griff knew she was special the moment he laid eyes on her.
Dahlia is a good story with a lot of sweet moments between the two characters. While not a rom-com, there are some funny moments in the book. I do think that some parts were rushed, and unfortunately, as you start to really get to know the characters, that's when the book ends. There were also parts that seemed a little forced about the MC, like all of the falling and such. I get the character is supposed to be clumsy, but it seemed a little over the top. That said, I think the story is good and you should one click today. 3.5 stars.
