Description

Enjoy this steamy cowboy series by USA Today Bestselling small-town romance author Erin Wright…

Maybe it's not too late for her happily ever after…

Carla's always been a romantic. As the owner of the only flower shop in the small mountain town, she believes in true love and can, of course, quote every line in The Princess Bride.

Which wouldn't be quite so pathetic if she wasn't thirty-seven and still single. So single, in fact, she's forgotten what it's like to have a man give her a single carnation, let alone a dozen roses.

Then Christian walks into Happy Petals, and she knows the fragrance of flowers has to have gone straight to her head. It's inconceivable that the cute Spanish guy she remembers from high school would be interested in her…

She's the girl of his dreams, and way out of his league…

Family is important to cowboy Christian. Why else would he be living in a company trailer? It's a sacrifice he has to make so he can afford to send his sister to college. But nearing forty, his own chances of starting a family aren't lookin' too hot, especially considering he hasn't been out on a date in years.

So it makes no sense at all he can't get Carla out of his head. Not only is she gorgeous, she's college-educated and way too good for a barely educated guy like him.

Only, she does seem interested.

Maybe, if he hides the truth about just how out of her league he is, he might have a chance…

Bloom of Love is the tenth novel in the Cowboys of Long Valley Romance series, although all books in the Long Valley world can be read as standalones. For fans of Sharleen Scott, Deborah Garland, or Laylah Roberts, this is a HOT romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. It does have some strong language and oh my, sexy times. Enjoy!

    As you wish... I think this is one of my favorite books in this series. Why? It’s an ode to The Princess Bride set in the realistic, contemporary Long Valley series. Christian Palacios has a lot (like a lot) of younger sisters. In order to see Carla again, he volunteers to order the flowers at her shop. Carla and Christian went to high school together and I liked that they were real people-aged at 37 and 38 (thank you!). They both don’t date, are still single and they both think the other is out of their league. Oh, with a liberal sprinkling of Princess Bride thrown in (but no RUS’s). Highly recommend.

    A good well written story from this author that I can’t stop reading. The main characters are so shy and she’s a romantic since she owns a flower shop and he is a ranch hand. They are so cute feeling their way around each other I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    In this opposites attract romance both Carla and Christian have insecurities they need to get over. The storyline was sweet and the characters are sweet together. Carla is thirty seven and Christian is almost forty, both are hard working and not married. They do have some obstacles to work through but they do get their HEA ending.
  • Great big blooms in this one

    What a great book! This story had me smiling the whole way through. I just loved it. I loved watching such a sweet, loving person like Carla find such a great guy like Christian. They fit together so well, and yet each thought they weren’t worthy of the other. It was such a wonderful journey watching them discover the love in themselves, to overcome their insecurities, and finally feel worthy of the other’s love. I loved how Ms Wright wrote the stories of the flower orders into this book—where they were going, and the ‘gossip’ behind them that enriched the plot of the book in little ways, making the story that much richer. A really great book. I received a complimentary copy of this book. This is my freely given, honest review. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    This is a wonderful, heartwarming love story, a balm for all we’ve experienced this past year. Carla and Christian’s story is sweet - both are worried they are not enough for each other - and yet, once they get together, their love shines through. Carla, owner of Happy Petals flower shop, has watched her friends and others find their happily-ever-afters while she...hasn’t. At 37, she’s beginning to wonder if she will ever find love. And Christian, at 38 and oldest child in a family of seven with six younger girls, some who already have children of their own, also believes love has perhaps passed him by. But when he meets Carla...well, he’s thinking she might be that special someone. And Carla...just seeing Christian puts a big smile on her face! Watching these two fall in love is endearing - and although it’s a story made more poignant in this time when our lives have been so changed due to the pandemic, it is a love story for ALL time.
