This is a sweet novella about second chance romance, and finding something when you weren’t expecting it or wanting it. Not only does Victoria's loved Grandfather die, but she is fired from her job in New York. She heads home to Florida and Sweet Blooms. There she finds Mark working for her grandmother. He has been dealing with the death of his wife and the "Blooms" have helped him heal. Victoria finds herself in a situation she did not want as it doesn't fit in with her life that is in turmoil at the time. It is a romance that has its problems that must be overcome, but Sweet Blooms is a healing place. I requested and received a copy of this book from the publisher, EG Publishing, to read. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

Sweet Blooms is a well written romance. Loved the plot and the characters. Enjoyed the author’s writing and look forward to reading more of his books. I have highly recommend this book.

This was a cute short story. Unfortunately the third person didn't make way for me to connect with the characters. Because of the length of the book everything felt rushed.

Publisher synopsis: Two souls have come to Sweet Blooms to heal and find themselves. They’ll have to get past their pain to discover love also blooms in this sweet shop.

This book has a good amount of potential, but it really fell shy of the mark. The book itself is short, only 10 chapters long, and it is basic. There is almost no embellishment, almost no description of the characters, etc. They meet and hate each other, they decide later the day the meet to go on a date. They fall in love and kiss on this first date, barely 24 hours after meeting and not liking each other.... They spend a small amount of time together, like a week?, and then part for three months and then end up together after not speaking/talking that whole time. Weird. No character insights that amount to much. No slow simmer of the relationship. It could be so much more.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Short read!
Victoria has gone home, after losing her job. She is returning to her Grandma Rose, at Sweet Blooms. When she arrives home she meets widower Mark and things seem to going well, until she learns something about him that leads her to skip town.

I found Sweet Blooms to be the right amounts of fun, romance, family relationships and drama. It was short and sweet, and perfect for a quick enjoyable evening read. I found the characters to be very likable, and by the middle of the book I was rooting for Victoria and Mark. This is certainly a recommend from me.

A short sweet romance that sees a young woman, Victoria, return home to her grandma's love and grandpa's memory. There's also the widower who gets a second chance at love and happiness but the two have to work through their insecurities and misunderstanding to get there.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.
