Where Flowers Bloom by Nikki Vale – Review by Karyn Taylor
Where Flowers Bloom by Nikki Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Where Flowers Bloom: A Romantic, Modern to Historical, Mystery by Nikki Vale is a great romance story that totally drew me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go. Nikki Vale was an author that I had not read before reading Where Flowers Bloom but I would certainly read more of her work now as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Romance novelist Kendyll moves to North Carolina to try to rekindle the romance with her fiancé Vance. When she buys a very old house it seems as if the house has it’s own story to tell. Kendyll’s very vivid dreams also seem to be telling the story of a time long ago. I have to say that I became more invested in the story of Rose and Everett than I did of the ‘love triangle’ between Kendyll, Vance and construction manager (who is also related to the homes former owner) Wesley.
This is a very well written story. The author is telling 2 stories at the same time which I can imagine must be very difficult to do. The author also does a fantastic job of tackling the issue of black slavery. I was totally engrossed with this part of the story.
Another thing I must commend the author on is the characters. This book has some absolutely amazing characters who I totally fell in love with.
This is a fantastic read which I would definitely recommend to others.
