Once bitten, twice shy. These days, true love can kiss her ass. Finding your soulmate at a young age is supposed to set you up for a lifetime of happiness. But in Wyatt Monroe’s case, it taught her that forever love and soulmates are nothing but a great big pile of junk—a bedtime story not found in reality. Ten years ago, she lost everything she truly cared about. Now, she’s guarding her heart … everything she truly cared about. Now, she’s guarding her heart fiercely, more than content with her solitary existence as an artist in New York.
She doesn’t want the fairytale.
She doesn’t want a knight in shining armor.
She’s more than capable of saving herself, thank you very much.
That is, until Flynn Maguire tracks her down. He’s tired of hiding in his music from what they were. A decade of running from his feelings is far too long and now he’s determined to reclaim the life that should have been his.
But determination will only get you so far, and when the glare of public scrutiny shines an unkind light on their troubled past, they need to choose—
Let their past hurt tear them apart yet again, or stand together and learn that true love really does conquer all…

Well Amali has out done herself this time. Breathing Wisteria, is about second chances. This is about what happens when Walking away from the one you love is , because looking at them is a constant reminder of the pain.. This beautiful story is about just that, learning to grow, forgive, move on but most importantly never letting go of those you love most.
Such a great addition to the series. I absolutely loved Wyatt and Flynn, they’re such real characters. There’s so much emotion and heart in this second chance romance. You can really feel the heartache and pain. I highly recommend it.
I received an ARC for an honest opinion and I adored this story between Wyatt and Flynn. They have a never ending love for each other that will never fade, soul mates. Will they be able to move forward and not let their past control their destiny. Their chemistry is outrageous and well who can resist a sexy Irish rock star? I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to friends.
Cherry and Irish will break your heart and than out it back together again.They have a tragic, sweet , hot and steamy story that will leave you wanting more. I laughed and cried this this book. It also brings back the characters from the other books and tied it all together beautifully. Can’t wait to read more from her.

Yep! Another beautiful love story by Amali Rose. This second chance love story will have you gasping for more and swooning over the sexy Rockstar. Sacrifices were made. Grief was inevitable and love was destined. However, sometimes love is not enough when life happens. Excellent story telling, Amali! Absolutely would recommend it!!!
This is the fourth book in the Fleurs d’amour Series, a standalone story. I love Wyatt and Flynn’s story, and their breathtaking second chance to love story. Beautifully written, this story is heartbreaking, and heartwarming. I love the happy ending. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
What a sweet and hot second chance romance. I will say that Flynn is swoon worthy, and I loved Wyatt’s sassiness and her strength.
Now with everything that Wyatt has been through she believes herself to be broken. She has kept some pretty big secrets from her friends. We all know how things like that can bite you in the rear at the most inopportune times. When her past comes to her present she finally starts to deal with a heartbreaking tragedy that happened 10 years ago. My heart hurt for her and am so happy she was able to get what she deserves in life.
Flynn has loved Wyatt most of his life and when he finds out she is not really doing ok he makes sure to get to her. Their reunion is filled with laughs, tears, and a little bit of anger. He proved to her that they are meant for each other and refuses to let her push him away as he did 10 years earlier.
I understand this is book is not the first book in the series, but you can definitely read this as a standalone. I didn’t feel like I was missing any info as this book was based on Wyatt and Flynn. I will have to check the other books out, because I just know Cassidy’s story will have me laughing out loud.
4.5 Cranky Stars
Wyatt is the last of her group of friends to settle down and have kids of her own. She has everyone convinced it’s just not in the cards for her and she is happy with her life the way it is. Little do they know she is harboring a dark secret and a great loss. Her mask is slipping and it’s only a matter of time before she must confront her past to hopefully lay the demons to rest. What she didn’t expect was that despite the years she still loves Flynn as fiercely as she did ten years ago.
Flynn has all the fame and fortune he could ever want the only he doesn’t have is happiness. He held it in his arms many years ago but lost it due to a life altering tragedy. He’s struggling to make it day to day but when he hears Wyatt is going to a dark place, he drops his life and runs to her. Ten years or ten days he still loves her with all his soul. They have problems to hash out and a future to decide on. Flynn wants to share his forever with Wyatt.
Oh, my heart. Darn you Amali!! It broke but then it soared then well it dropped toward the end. Wyatt was always an enigma to me in this series. She seemed to have her life together. Their secret broke my heart. I can’t imagine such a loss. Flynn is a rocker with a heart. I loved it. This book isn’t all heartbreak though. There is a scheming manipulative witch named Giselle who doesn’t do a woman scorned to well. Flynn and Wyatt’s chemistry is also off the charts. As always Amali Rose mixes heartbreak with redemption and red-hot sexy times. I’m so glad I picked up the first novel and it’s been a heck of a ride since.
This second chance love story is raw and emotional and will draw you in from the very beginning. A tragic event ripped Flynn and Wyatt apart. They’ve tried to move on, but even after the years spent apart their chemistry and attraction is undeniable. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles of their past or are they destined to live two separate lives? I thoroughly enjoyed this steamy romance and I look forward to reading more by this author.
Sometimes in life we are handed down the darkest of events. Events that are life altering. The ones that completely tear you down, crush your soul, shatter your heart and leave a void that can never be filled. It’s those events that change the course of our future, a future that looked nothing like what we thought.
But I guess it’s how we rise above it, how we learn to cope. It’s what we try and do to move forward that matters, even though the pain is there always sitting at the surface.
Breathing Wisteria is exactly that. Flynn and Wyatt’s story is exactly this and guys let me tell you I absolutely fell in love with this novel.
A heartbreaking story of two people who found love, but had it ripped away from them both by the tragedy that struck them both, who both lost so much and carried the guilt for ten long years, but yet tried to piece together their lives after their soul shattering pain.
A raw, confronting and highly emotional read that consumed me. It captured my heart completely.
For me at times it was hard to read and difficult to keep going because watching both Wyatt and Flynn struggle with the aftermath of their tragic past and the pain and suffering they were both enduring was so raw it was almost as though I could literally feel it. It was as though all of the emotion just simply bled from the pages straight into my heart.
And it’s exactly that, that makes this novel perfect.
To sum up Breathing Wisteria I offer whoever reads my review this….Heartbreaking, soul shattering, tormenting, and painful in nature, but also hopeful, caring, loving and breathtaking. A touch of everything that I know others will fall in love with just like me.
Survival at it’s it best.
5 stars for me
This book was amazing!! I couldn’t put it down!! Second chance romance is one of my favorites and this is definitely one of the good ones!! I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!! Flynn is everything!!! Definitely a member of my harem!
Sometimes a book really surprises me, in a good way, and this was one. Wyatt and Flynn were high school sweethearts who married at 18 and were blissfully happy. When tragedy struck, though, they imploded. Flynn moved to LA to pursue his music career and Wyatt moved to New York. Now ten years later they meet again, brought together by a friend who thinks it’s time they talk things out and get closure so they both can heal.
This was a beautiful book. Flynn and Wyatt are both so in love with each other and yet so wounded by the hole left in their family that they hurt each other trying to save each other. But the ways they stand together are stunning. When a vindictive, delusional gossip blogger tries to destroy their very foundation, the resolution made me want to stand up and applaud. The friendships between Wyatt and her three friends were touching, too. And Cassidy and Flynn’s give and take banter made me laugh out loud.
This is a superb, emotional second chance story that will stick in your mind long after you finish reading.
Oh, the heartache and love in this story. Devastating things can happen in life, and Amali does a beautiful job, showing the heartache of such a moment through these characters. I loved Wyatt and Flynn. You could feel their connection and pain bleed through the pages. Each determined in their own way, yet having that undeniable pull. I cannot wait to see what Amali comes up with next.
What an innocent and sweet story of second chance, which I love; not to mention a good rocker story and this one takes the cake. The storyline was well written and flowed perfectly. Breathing Wisteria had me in tears and also had me wanting to throw my kindle.
The characters are perfect for each other. The author really makes you feel the love that they have had for each other all of those years. My heart broke for everything they had to endure. They had so many obstacles to overcome.
I have read all of the A Fleurs d’ amour Novels and have enjoyed all of them although but this one is my favorite. Amali Rose is a fairly new author to me and is quickly becoming a one-click author. I cannot wait to read more of Amali’s work.
A beautifully written, second chance love story, the grips your heart and touches your soul. A story with pain and joy, that leaves an impression.
The characters emotions become yours, what an amazing book. ~wtmo
This was a great addition to this series! One that I was not expecting at all. Young love, second chance, it has it all. It was very emotional and I was needing tissues to finish it. I do recommend that you read the others in the series first to get the most out of the book.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
Lovely and touching
Book 4 in the Fleurs d’Amour series, you don’t need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one. We do see the characters from the earlier books though, so having read their stories will add to the experience here.
A hot and sweet second chances story, the author does a great job of pulling you into the story and really making you feel for the characters right from the very beginning. My heart was hurting for both Wyatt and Flynn even before I knew their whole story, and I was cheering for them to get their hea just as fast.
I loved all the characters here, not just Wyatt and Flynn, but also the glimpses we get of Cassidy and the others. The story moved well and kept me engaged, and if I suspected some of the plot twist near the end, I didn’t suspect all of it, and what I did suspect didn’t detract from the story for me.
A lovely and touching story about grief, love, and healing. A great addition to the series and I hope not the last—maybe a story for Charlie, pretty please? 5+ stars
