Dean Baxter was everything a sensible thirty-two-year-old teacher should avoid. Five years younger, cocky, with a playboy reputation. Oh and guardian to Tom, one of her most promising students. But Lia was a rebel at heart.
Lia Stapleton was everything that was out of reach for an uneducated garage mechanic who’d made too many mistakes. Cambridge-educated, gorgeous and from a well-heeled background, she was his brother’s teacher. But Dean couldn’t resist her.
As Dean and Lia’s tentative relationship begins, can it survive Tom’s disapproval, her parents’ interference. And the dangerous return of his past.
What did I think?
Kathryn Freeman is one of my favourite authors; her books never fail to leave me with a smile on my face and Yellow is for Sunflowers is no exception. Just like a sunflower, this book is all bright and sunny on the outside but it has a darkness at its core with a surprising page-turning thriller element added to the heart-stopping romance story.
I love the main character of Lia; she is a teacher who really cares about her students, encouraging and guiding them to get the best out of them. Lia clearly loves her job but she disappointed her family when she didn't follow in their footsteps and practise law. Just as well Lia has a twin sister who did exactly what was expected of her so her parents could feel proud. I loved the relationship between Lia and Grace with all the resentment and envy that has built up over the years, it virtually fizzes off the page.
From fizzle to sizzle - I almost burnt my fingers on my kindle when mechanic Dean Baxter entered the scene. Dean is Lia's love interest but he's younger than her, has the reputation of a gigolo, has a dark and dangerous past that is coming back to haunt him and he's the guardian of one her students. All good reasons not to date him, but Lia is drawn to Dean like a moth to a flame - let's just hope she doesn't get burnt.
I absolutely raced through this fabulous book; I couldn't wait to see how Lia and Dean's relationship would unfold and whether it would survive both Lia's family's disapproval and Dean's past mistake. I loved the dark and dangerous storyline - it added a whole new dimension to an already riveting story.
Yellow is for Sunflowers is thrilling, exciting, page-turning and simply fabulous. I loved it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.

About the author:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to write a book. It may have had something to do with my obsession with reading romance. Real life interfered and I headed off in a different direction – into the world of science, becoming a pharmacist before joining the pharmaceutical industry. I did end up writing, but it was about disease and medicines. Decades later, I’m finally doing what I always wanted to do.
With a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), all the romance in my life is in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
