Seilstad, Lorna. As Love Blooms: The Gregory Sisters Series, Book 3. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell Publishing. 2015.

SUMMARY:
As the youngest of the three Gregory sisters, Tessa may have a bit of a wild-side yet she is determined to enter a man’s career as a horticulturist/ landscape designer. Set in the early 1900’s, smack in the middle of women’s suffrage, Tessa will stop at nothing to obtain her dream until a rival, the handsome gardener-Reese King, enters the picture and captures her heart…

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
As a huge fan of Lorna Seilstad, especially her Lake Manawa Summers series, I looked forward to reading her newest novel, As Love Blooms. Part of the Gregory Sisters series, of which I have not read any yet, I enjoyed this story full of wit, sass, perseverance and strength. Mixed with a dose of romance, I may have missed key elements to certain characters/ events; however, I was able to enjoy it none-the-less. Perfect as a summer read, this novel captured my attention with the beautiful cover. Though Making Waves remains my favorite from Lorna Seilstad, this book was certainly pleasurable and amusing.

RATING:
4 (out of 5) pennies
