Publisher's Summary:

When mistakes haunt your every choice, how do you find the courage to follow your own heart?

An unstable childhood and a bad marriage have left Nova unable to trust anyone - especially herself. She'd do anything for her young son but feels she'll never be a good enough mother. She's got major talent as a stylist and makeup artist, but big-time success would mean leaving the safety of Martha's Vineyard and the only family she has left. Still, she needs to kick-start her life in a new direction. The last thing she needs is her childhood frenemy, Tanner Brennan, confusing her even more.

An ex-Army Ranger, Tanner was looking for peace and routine when he came back home to Martha's Vineyard. Scrapping with Nova reminds him of the hopeful boy he was, before secrets and guilt closed him off. But there's no way he can fight her raw vulnerability-or his longing to become part of her life. And as their all-too-fragile bond is threatened in ways they never expected, he and Nova have only one chance to finally come to terms with the past - and find the future in each other.

Members Reviews:

Good Story!

I thought this was a good story. The constant name calling got a bit tedious after awhile and started to feel very juvenile. I understand it may have been Novaâs way of making Tanner think she didnât like him. But it started to smack of junior high school. Also I do not like flashbacks and this author uses them frequently. There were some other things mentioned in the book that didnât add up but most authors seen to have that issue. We the readers read for content but we also scrutinizes as we are reading.

Blended Families

I loved this story. Two different people, different back grounds. Both had rough child hoods even though one had everything but love. Love can conquer anything.

Sweet...

I liked seeing the other side of these characters, whom I had a taste of in the first story. I wish I could've gotten just a but more, and sadly I'm not enough of a word smith to explain what the more could be. But its still a lovely story.

Five Stars

Great book

well written, steamy and sweet

Love Blooms is an emotional story of making it on your own. Nova is a young, single mother who's trying to make a better life for her son and herself. She owns her own hair styling and makeup business on Martha's Vineyard, where she's lived ever since she came there to be with her Native grandmother after fleeing an abusive ex and a deadbeat, alcoholic mother. She has an older half-brother, Wylie, who's a great father figure to her son, Teo, and a great brother to her. If only his friend and business partner, Tanner, didn't irritate her and get under her skin so much.

But of course, he only gets under her skin because she's so attracted to him, that's a given :) Still, she fights it like crazy because she has this thing about not depending on anyone, even though in reality, she does depend upon her brother, her grandmother, any number of people. She doesn't have a good history with men, though, and she doesn't want to set herself up for more pain by allowing Tanner into her life anymore than he already is as an honorary uncle to Teo.

Tanner's persistent, though, and patient, and soon they're indulging in a steamy little fling.
