Reviewer: Samantha
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
Curvy wedding florist Elly Jordan has had quite a year. First, she had to design her ex-husband’s wedding to the mistress who split them up, and then she broke up with the hottest musician this side of St. Louis. Three months have passed since then, and now Elly is primed for what promises to be the best wedding season of her life.
Encouraged by her loyal friends (and one pushy coworker), Elly considers opening a chic flower boutique uptown when BlissBride, a popular wedding reality show, asks her to design the wedding of a famous—make that infamous—celebrity. Elly is about to get everything she ’s ever wanted, when a stranger shows up at her store with a request that changes every aspect of her life—including her budding relationship with deli owner Keith. As she
struggles to stay calm in the midst of growing chaos, Elly will learn the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
Filled with the heart, humor, and horticulture that made Elly in Bloom a bestseller, Elly in Love welcomes readers back to Elly’s big, beautiful, and messy life.
Review:
I have been looking forward to the sequel of Elly in Bloom for some time now, so I was super excited to get this on my Kindle. Once again, the writing and descriptions are vivid and crisp, easily drawing readers into the story. There was a fun element of the celebrity wedding that Elly is the florist for, but it’s the romance that gets featured heavily. There’s also another dimension added with the mysterious stranger that shows up at Elly’s door, which added another layer to the novel. A book I really enjoyed, I hope you can read both Elly in Bloom and Elly in Love – or just look at their beautiful covers!
