He's an injured firefighter. She bakes the most delightful treats. When their worlds collide will the baker help heal the firefighter with a mix of blueberry muffins and her caring way?
The elegant baker, Hannah Bell, has always lived on Bluestar Island with her family. While still grieving for her father, who died in a fire, she focuses all of her energy on making her dream come true--opening her very own bakery. But when a broken water pipe washes away her carefully laid plans, she's on the verge of losing everything.
New York firefighter Ethan Walker's life is in a tailspin after he's injured on-the-job. When an urgent call detours him to Bluestar Island, he agrees to help his lovable but meddlesome great-aunt. But organizing the island's Spring Fling proves a lot harder than he originally imagined. He needs help...and fast.
Under the magic of Bluestar Island's sea breeze and warm sunshine, Hannah and Ethan must not only face their immediate obstacles but also their own turning points in life. Will they have to do that alone? With a leap of faith and a dash of romance, they might just find the perfect mix to make their dreams come true.
Includes a delicious recipe for The Elegant Baker's Blueberry Crumble Muffin!

One of the main things I love about small town settings is when great storytelling makes me feel like I’m part of the community. It’s as if I’ve visited Bluestar, fell in love, and didn’t want to leave.
Love Blooms is a sweet romance that is clean, engaging, and satisfying. I love Ethan, Hannah, and the townsfolk. It’s not just the people that make this story come to life, but the town itself. Perhaps because I watch a lot of HGTV and DIY fixer-upper shows, the bakery renovation adds extra spark to this story, and the town festival is delightful.
Ultimately, this is a sweet love story between Ethan and Hannah. Its effortless to feel their chemistry, past heartaches, and mutual love of family. I journeyed along with them, urging them to heal, connect, trust, overcome, and fall in love. Ahh… isn’t that all you can ask for?

Thank you for hosting my book! 😊
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
DeleteSmall Town Romance is one of my favorite tropes, because everybody knows what you're up to and you can't get away with anything. I've read many books set on an island. The book cover makes me want to pause on the bench and enjoy the bike basket full of flowers and the ambience of water nearby.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cover! Sounds like a great read!
