The Illegal Gardner by Sara Alexi
This title looked interesting when it popped up on Book Bub. It was cheap so I bought the Kindle version.
From the beginning, the characters and the story made no sense to me. Juliet, sometimes spelled Juliette, moved to Greece to escape a nasty divorce. She did translation work. Because that was her profession, I found it odd that she initially lacked so much knowledge and compassion for a person of a different culture. Aaman, from Pakistan and illegal, helped her with her garden. She had no understanding that he had come from a society where women took the back seat often taking offense at his actions or failure to say thank you.
The book was filled with repetitive phases, such as "the cockerels were crowing" and typos galore. I skipped alot of it without missing any part of the story. Your time will be better spent on something else because for me the cockerels simply crowed one too many times.
