Penny Lane, a young florist with a dislike of weddings and a dream of opening her own flower shop, has to overcome her insecurities to find love with Haze Delacroix, the charismatic owner of Underworld Delicacies, who charms his way into her heart by means of culinary delights, namely delicious pomegranates.----------Penny Lane hates weddings, especially her mother's. She'd rather spend time at the flower shop or listening to music. No, not the Beatles. She never quite forgave her mother for that one. Haze Delacroix, tall, dark, and handsome, is the charismatic owner of Underworld Delicacies, and always gets what he wants. The only exception: finding a suitable wife has proven harder than what he'd expected. When Haze is hired to cater the wedding reception of Penny's mother, the two meet and sparks fly. Too many mojitos and one frivolous proposal later, they find themselves in a rather unexpected and possibly indecent relationship. But love does what love wants, and neither Penny nor Haze are prepared for what life throws at them.
"Untie the Knot: Hades & Persephone Reloaded" is a contemporary romance novel expertly interweaved with an all-time familiar Greek mythos of Hades and Persephone to form an artistic patchwork of larger-than-life thoughts and powerful feelings.
The authoress of this amazing opus, Flora Nocturna, is a mistress of words as she has not only managed to charm her readers with the original concept she fashioned but also to adapt it to both of the epochs it is related to.
The mastery of "Untie the Knot: Hades & Persephone Reloaded", is three-partite.
Firstly, it lies in astounding, detailed, heavy-on descriptions of Flora's world, which will pull you in immediately and never let go, making you envision all the surroundings, clothing, food, and situations with an impeccable accuracy, as if you were standing right inside the book and observing it being created over the authoress' shoulder. The depictions she is able to conjure up strike the reader as if they were vivid paintings.

Secondly, Flora Nocturna is master characteriser. She depicts relationships with facility and her easel does not only include the protagonists' portrayal, such as our star-crossed lovers Penny and Haze, but also, the connections they have forged through life with their family and friends.
She is fast to manage the depiction and the development of the complex relationship Penny has with her mother, and the looming pressure that makes her think of the need for societal integration. Not to mention a wonderful and warm bond Penny shares with her best friend Lucy and the way the two girls fiercely support each other and cheer each other on.
Thirdly, her creation never for a moment wavers from the essence. Even if she keeps up the wonderful, tingly intrigue of a slow burn romance as she ramps up the shenanigans that Penny and Hazy enjoy at Haze's Underworld estate, leading to some quite steamy yet always elegant-classy erotic encounters...
The themes and motifs Flora focuses on across her opus are always universal and relatable, and by no means shallow, such as a topoi of familial love and friendship. The she-writer also frequently touches upon the meaning of life and paths one chooses to take alongside it. Should we select a well treaded roads or embark upon adventures?
If you consider yourself a Greek mythology aficionado, a contemporary romance enthusiast who yearns for a display of sweet feelings, and a fan of blooming descriptions with richly portrayed characters, seek no further.
"Untie the Knot: Hades & Persephone Reloaded" is the book you want!
You are guaranteed to fall in love with Penny and haze and devour chapter after chapter until the sweet ending this couple more than deserves!
