Book #2, Snow Sisters, Love in Bloom Series 
Sisters In Bloom

You loved Danica and Kaylie in SISTERS IN LOVE, find out what happens next with SISTERS IN BLOOM"

Kaylie Snow has always been the fun, flirty, pretty sister. Now her burgeoning baby bump, hormone-infused emotions, and faltering singing career are sending her into an unexpected identity crisis. Watching her older sister, Danica, glide through a major career change and a new relationship with the grace of a ballerina, Kaylie’s insecurities rise to the forefront—and her relationship with fiancé Chaz Crew is caught in the crossfire.

Chaz Crew has everything he’s ever wanted: a lovely fiancée, a baby on the way, and soon, the film festival he owns will host its biggest event ever. When he’s called away to woo the festival’s largest sponsor—and the lover he’s never admitted to having—secrets from his past turn his new life upside down.

With her baby shower around the corner and her fiancé’s big event looming, the pressure is on for Kaylie to pull herself together—and for Chaz to right his wrongs. In a few short weeks, the couple who had it all figured out will learn things about life and love that may change their minds—and their hearts.

SISTERS IN BLOOM is a testament to the bond of sisters, the strength of women, and the pains and delights that accompany motherhood. A book for every mother, sister, and daughter, SISTERS IN BLOOM will resonate with readers who love to explore family dramas. **CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

Review:

What can I say besides I'm addicted?  I'm totally hooked on these books.  It's been awhile since I've read "chick lit" or romance books.  I've forgotten how evjoyable they can be.

The only negative, which really isn't, is that once you get started you won't want to put it down.  So much so that I don't know if you should get it now or wait for all of the books to come out.  I really can't wait for the rest of the books.

Just like Sisters in Love this book touched me emotionally.  The girls, mainly Danica, reminds me of myself at times, and at other times my mom.  The book is not only romance.  It is also about relationships, mother/daughter, sister/sister, etc.  For those of us that have had rocky times/relationships, this book will resonate with you.and have you rethinking your viewpoint of events.

I love the following part when Danica's mother is talking to her.  "It was my place to raise you, and to make sure you turned out okay, or at least give you every opportunity to do so.  But it's not your job to love me for it, or to even like me as a person."  This is so true and I wish others felt the same way.  If they did, we might not have all the problems we have with kids.  It is a parent's job to be a parent not a friend.  If you are lucky you will end up with being both.  It is kind of funny because I've always told my kids they don't have to like me.  In fact, you probably know you are a good parent if your kids don't like you at some point.

Well, enough of my soap box.  This book is kind of like therapy, well, at least it was for me.  I've kind of had some of the same problem with my parents.  It has helped me see things in a different light, from another viewpoint.  I love how Kaylie's doctor puts it.  "therapy isn't about giving you the answers.  Therapy is about finding the answers within yourself.  I just help you find the right path."  This is exactly what this book does for me at times.

Don't get me wrong this isn't a "therapy book".  It is a book about relationships, romance.  Any book that ha you genuinly caring about the characters is a good book.  One that makes you reflect on your life is even better.

While this book is mainly for women, men might learn something, especially if their wife or girlfriend is pregnant.  This is a great book.  I'm sure most people will enjoy it.  Parents need to be aware that there are sexually explicit passages.  Like I said before, the only thing that will disappoint you is that you have to wait for the next book.  Thankfully, there is a new book in the series each month for the next few months.

Sisters In Love
DANICA SNOW has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister Program, she has little time for anything more in her life. 

BLAKE CARTER is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn’t know how to stop doing what he does best. 

WHEN BLAKE walks into Danica’s office, the attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn't the type to give into the heat and risk her career. Danica’s desire sets her on a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every decision she’s ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge in the pleasures of life she’s been so willingly ignoring, but with her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister’s promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn’t sure it’s the right time to set her desires free.

  2. The Sisters in Bloom was so fun for me to write and I'm so happy you enjoyed reading it! I agree it's a parent's place to do their best for their kids and that can mean they may not like you for it. It was great pulling this parental dynamic into the story. Thanks for your review and hosting my book on your awesome site! XO
