My thoughts:
Having read Forget Me Not last month, it was really fun to read Bellflower, the prequel to that story. I really enjoyed getting to see how Jacob and Annabelle met. Bellflower's story does take place in a brothel, so there are some delicate situations. The story ended a bit quickly, but it is a short story, so...
Overall, I really liked Bellflower and some of the similarities to Beauty and the Beast. It was a quick and interesting read! I'm glad I read this book after Forget Me Not, because I think having known some of Jacob's story beforehand improved my enjoyment of Bellflower. I look forward to reading future books in "The Heart's Spring" series.
