Title : Flowers for the God of Love

This book was brought back by my sister. Apparently there was a sale in 3K for all types of books. She managed to grab a few books and this is one of it. I have always love Barbara Cartland's sweet and innocent romance. The story always gave me a "sweet" feeling.
