A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

As Love Blooms (The Gregory Sisters #3) - Lorna Seilstad

This is the third book in the series.  The other two are called When Love Calls and While Love Stirs.

Tessa is desperate for her family to take her passion for horticulture seriously.  Granted, she's changed her mind on her profession a few times, but now she has a plan for getting her life on track.  She approaches the man in charge of a park and asks for a job.  He turns her down, but she's determined.  She decides to partner up with a different man who works at the park, Reese, and take a chance.

Reese was told he doesn't have the creativity to be a great gardener and thinks Tessa's garden schematic is just what he needs.  He's trying to move up, and using Tessa's plan, he believes he can secure that job.  Tessa believes that when Reese reveals her contribution, the job is hers.

Tessa also has a wild streak that gets her in trouble once in a while.  She's used to acting certain ways in certain situations, and sometimes Reese wonders is she's really being herself.  There are secrets galore in this book, but they all see the light of day by the end.

This was a good story with great characters.  There's also a side love story with Aunt Sam and an old friend of hers, but their differences may keep them apart.

Charlotte and Hannah (from the first two books) are in this book a great deal, but you can read this one alone without feeling completely lost.  The other two are good as well, and I recommend them heartily.  Good Book!
