Misty has fled back home after an abusive marriage. home is Lilac Lake where her sister is still living. but Misty is struggling, living in constant fight or flight over what happened to her and the fear of what he still might do. but coming home has bought Misty something comfort, shes got a nice group of friends around her now.
slowly but surely we watch as Misty starts to build trust and her life again. but its realistically not easy. of course it wouldnt be. but with time we watch her feel more settled. one such person helping her do this is David. and there connection is really lovely. i especially loved how although there was clearly something there for both of them, David respected completely that it wouldnt go anywhere. or at least not without having a pace Misty is ok with.
with the right support, time and healing from both trusting others and herself its truly lovely to watch how Misty becomes someone she perhaps thought shed lost or would never get back again.

I loved everything about this book. It was great to see some of the cast of characters from Lilac Lake Inn and always good to hear from GG. Will Misty be able to overcome her past trauma and truly find happiness with Graham? I am looking forward to many more books in this series

I received this copy as an ARC. I felt this was a quick, easy read. As with most of her books, Judith Keim, delivers interesting characters with personality and humor. Thank you for the ARC.

This is such a heartwarming story. The characters are all lovely people. It was sweet watching Misty and David in love. I felt such peace after finishing the book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Love’s Bloom is a touching story about healing, hope, and the quiet kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Misty’s journey back to Lilac Lake after a traumatic relationship felt honest and relatable, and I appreciated how the book didn’t rush her emotional recovery. David’s gentle patience and the sweet mystery behind the flower gifts added a layer of charm that kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed reading this one—it reminded me that love, when it’s real, doesn’t push; it nurtures.

When the heart’s ready, love blooms like wildflowers.

This sweet little love story gave me all the cozy feels, with flowers, friendship, and a slow-blooming romance that proves healing hearts can totally grow new roots. 💐

💘 Who knew flower deliveries could get me this invested?! Love’s Bloom is like a warm hug and a bouquet of second chances all in one. Misty’s been through it (and I mean through it), but this small-town romance gave me all the cozy feels and a hero I’d totally swipe right on. If you’re into slow-burn sweetness, a mystery with petals, and a heroine who finally finds her worth, this one’s for you. 🌸💁‍♀️

I just finished a great book. Loves Bloom by Judith Keim is out this summer. Pick it up! It will make your heart happy!
