Frankie doesn't believe in love or happily ever-afters due to her parents' shitty relationship and drags her feet whenever she is forced to do flowers for weddings (seriously?!). Matt, the perfect brother of Frankie's best friend, is secretly in love with Frankie and has been for many years. She can't believe Matt would be interested in her and he sets out to prove to her all the reasons she is awesome. Of course, HEA ensues after Frankie is entranced by Matt's sexy times and protective instincts. I just found this a bit twee and tired. I couldn't really buy that Frankie would so rapidly change her mind about very entrenched beliefs no matter how sexy and great the guy. I also didn't like Matt's shitty reaction to her obvious discomfort when he told her he loved her after a very awkward moment. Dude, what were you expecting? And the ultimatums. Gross. Frankie had the bones of a great, feminist heroine (bookish, black belt, gardener), but alas the rest of the story didn't pan out for me.
