A special thank you to NetGalley, Lucy Eden, and Hachette Audio for providing advance access to the audiobook.

I really enjoyed Love in Bloom by Lucy Eden. This is my first book by her, and I’ll definitely be reading more in the future. It was easy to dive into, and the bathroom scene had me cringing and laughing at the same time!

The narrator, Wesleigh Siobhan, did an amazing job. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!

Thank you to Hachette Audio and NetGalley for this ALC!

This book was a very cute small town romance! I thought the pacing of the book was really good and nothing moved too fast. I liked both Emma and Dan. They were both interesting characters, Emma being a former PR girl turn "farmer" and Dan who lived on the farm and helped her grandparents with their business. Their relationship developed well as a friends to lovers situations. They didn't get off on the right foot initially but they never really had a true disdain from my reading experience. Their romance was cute. I also thought the plot of the farm that was inherited being a medical marijuana farm was definitely interesting. I think it made sense to the town and how the herb can be helpful with healing, but of course people have their reservations towards it. I think the issue they faced felt realistic from the farm to their own bump in the road. I was happy with the conclusion of the book too. Their roadblock with the farm didn't feel rushed or forced which I appreciated it. It was wrapped up nicely. Overall, this is a cute and cozy romance.

For the narrator, as always Wesleigh Siobhan did an amazing job! I'm always excited to see her listed a a narrator.

I met Lucy Eden during SLC and she was so nice and I had to give her book a try. This was a fun small town romance that has hallmark feel.

Emma inherits her grandparent's farm who she lost touch with and meets the farm manager at one of the funniest meet cute. The town and Dan are both stand-off to Emma the city girl.

I really enjoy the small town/found family and how everyone took care of each other. Dan and Emma's love story was a bit too quick for me, especially with Emma's situation.

Overall, a fun read and I look forward to reading Eden's backlist.

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of the book.

Small town romcom with secrets and drama, loved it. City girl who inherits a farm and has absolutely no idea about farms or coffee. Had a bit of “The Simple Life” vibe with a heart of gold. Emma’s growth throughout the book was great to read.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was pretty good. The whole book gave me a cheesy Hallmark movie feel especially the dialogue. I’m sure this will be a favorite for some but this wasn’t the book for me.
