Book Review - AND THEN BLOOMS LOVE by Sally Jo Pitts


You know, when I saw the title of this book, my first thought was "another sappy romance," which really are okay, but not worthy of five stars. However, Then Blooms Love surprised me. Yes--it's still a romance, but definitely NOT sappy. Five stars!

Emme (Short, sort of, for Mary Elaine) has a big talent for flower arrangements and design, so of course she owns a flower shop. The only place she doesn't want to deliver to is to the Davenport Plantation, the home of her first love, Clifton Davenport, who dumped her to go overseas to study. Also the home of his mother, the manipulative woman who decided Mary Elaine, step daughter of the town drunkard, was not good enough for her son.

So, of course, when a renown event  planner offers her the chance to design and provide floral arrangements for a very large event at the Plantation, of course she refuses.

And then has to backtrack because her van needs a payment, like yesterday, or else. And she's not about to accept help from her mother and her now-recovering alcoholic husband. Maybe Emme can remain anonymous and hide behind her assistant.

She doesn't want to be seen by any of her ex-fiance's family. Especially Clifton, who is announcing his engagement to a South American magnate's daughter.

Oh, what tangled webs we weave ....

Available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

I received a free copy of this book from the author, but my opinions are still my own.
