Book Review By dee stewart
Bloom by Linda Dominique Grosvenor

Eleven years after Lily Manchester's husband ran off with the Army and ran off with her heart, Lily meets a charismatic young man twelve years her junior, who won't take “no” for an answer. Her quiet world in her quaint little flower shop gets turned upside down when her heart and her ex-husband returns home. Will she jeopardize her good standing in the small town of Bliss, North Carolina, to pursue “something that has been missing from her life for far too long” or will she take the safe route by taking her ex-husband back?
