BOOK REVIEW- COUNT THE ROSES by Jackie Weger

Betrayed and jilted, Jennifer Dewitt finds solace in a new job and new city. Men and marriage are not on her radar. Adrien Merrill’s divorce leaves him bitter and jaded. In Cajun custom, pride rules. Yet Adrien aches for a woman to fill his days with laughter, his nights with passion, and his house with children. He sets his sights on Jennifer and runs right into stubborn, mouthy and independent. He soon discovers the line between pride and love is as whisper thin as a fine silk thread.  AMAZON  3.5 STARS

It had potential but this book just didn't do it for me.  The story idea was good and the world building was great.  Both the hotel world and Adrien's Cajun home had a very detailed feel to it.  But the rub for me was that it felt like it sometimes slowed the story down.  It was almost too many of those details and it crowded out a lot of the actual story for me.  
It did have good main characters.  Although at times I kind of got tired of their cat and mouse games.  I understood what they were dealing with but just wanted the story to move on. 
I will give it credit for having good secondary people in the story.  Several who had their own romances brewing or evolving.  Bertie was an interesting addition.  And so was the romance between Etienne and Leddy. 
There was a punch of surprise towards the end of the book  where so wrongs were righted and there is also a H.E.A for Jennifer and Adrien.
