Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Great Orchid Heist – Eleanor Vendrell

We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

LOVE CAN BE A STEAL . . .

Phil, never Philippa, is getting to breaking point with her dad and their mounting debts from his gambling problem. But when best friend and bad-influence Chaz offers a brazen solution – a heist of a rare orchid due to bloom for the first time in captivity – she obviously thinks he’s joking.

Phil’s mission is clear: infiltrate the renowned Felborough Botanic Gardens as a volunteer, befriend the employees for intel, and on the big day make it out with the orchid.

But falling head over heels for Lily, the grumpy head gardener’s assistant, was not part of the plan, and as the heist approaches, Phil is faced with a dilemma: steal the orchid and break Lily’s heart or risk losing everything . . .

THE FIRST RULE OF THE HEIST . . . DON’T FALL IN LOVE

I believe I came across this release on a Goodreads list and I had to add it right away! The title alone had me intrigued, as you might know I love a good heist story. I also love that they are planning on stealing a flower haha, somehow that’s just really funny to me.

The rest of the synopsis sounds really good as well, and while I keep saying I usually don’t read romance novels I seem to gravitate towards them more and more. If there’s a good plot, I guess I do like them! And this is the kind of plot I would pick a romance novel up for. This is the author’s debut novel, so there isn’t anything to compare it to yet, but the early reviews are pretty positive. Are you excited about this release? Was it on your radar? I would love to hear from you!

  1. This one sounds like it could be huge fun, as well as tugging on the heartstrings. And while – like you – I generally don’t read straightforward romances very often, I do find myself pulled towards fantasy tales with an intriguing side order of love… I hope you enjoy this one:)).

  2. I love everything about the description of this one! A heist and romance! I am adding this to my wish list. I hope you enjoy it when you read it.
