For fans of: Pretend relationships, quick wit, and characters who bring out the best (and worst) in each other.

When buttoned-up professor Linc needs a fiancée to land a job, he recruits Daisy — an eccentric artist with a flair for the dramatic. Their fake engagement turns real in all the ways that matter. It’s Pretty Woman meets When Harry Met Sally — full of banter, chemistry, and emotional warmth.


For fans of: Dark, passionate romance, powerful men, and women who hold their own.

When Catarina, a strong-willed woman on the run, takes a job as an escort, she never expects to meet Maksimilian Sevastyan — a brooding Russian billionaire with secrets of his own. What follows is a steamy, emotional story about trust, power, and two people learning to love beyond their walls.

It’s Pretty Woman turned up several notches: more danger, more heat, but the same core theme of transformation through love.


For fans of: Emotional intensity, class differences, and redemption through love.

This dark, deeply emotional romance follows Sutton, a self-made billionaire haunted by loss, and Ashleigh, a woman fighting for survival. Their worlds collide in a story about desire, guilt, and the belief that even the most damaged people deserve love.

Like Pretty Woman, Mating Theory explores what happens when two people from very different walks of life see beyond surface labels — but it does so with a raw, psychological depth that will spark deep discussion.


For fans of: The “escort with heart” storyline, humor, and modern romance with real emotion.

This gender-flipped twist on Pretty Woman follows Stella, a math whiz with Asperger’s, who hires an escort to help her learn about intimacy. But of course — love doesn’t follow formulas.


For fans of: Modern anti-fairy tales, flawed characters, and emotional realism.

When fashion assistant Grace is drowning in debt, she accepts an unconventional offer from Vaughn, a wealthy art dealer, to become his “paid companion.” What begins as a transactional arrangement slowly unravels into something tender and painfully real.

Like Pretty Woman, Unsticky examines class, control, and vulnerability — but without the sugarcoating. It’s sharp, feminist, and brutally honest about how love and money can coexist (and collide).


For fans of: Self-acceptance, unconventional heroines, and grumpy-sunshine dynamics.

Plum is a plus-size woman who’s been through life’s rough edges — she’s not rich, polished, or naive. When she crosses paths with a powerful man who sees her for who she truly is, the result isn’t a fairy tale — it’s real, raw, and full of heart.

Plum echoes Pretty Woman in its emotional honesty: it’s about being seen, not saved, and finding love that honors every part of who you are.

Welcome to Bookflowerpath, my cozy little corner of the internet where books bloom and my TBR pile quietly judges me.

Here you’ll find all things bookish — swoony romances, spicy romances, sports/mafia romances, honest reviews, chaotic reading thoughts, bookish posts and general book chatter — posted in both Italian and English, because my reading life (much like my personality) refuses to stick to just one language.

So grab a warm drink, get comfy, and let’s wander this book-filled path together. Just beware of falling fictional crushes. 🌸📖
