Where Flowers Bloom by Nikki Vale – Review by Kerry Carr

Where Flowers Bloom by Nikki Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It has a mixture of romance and paranormal which I love. It is a sweet story set in an ancient plantation. I’ve never read a book before where I was thinking about the main characters history or the colour of their skin but the beauty of this book is that the author brings a lot of the main characters history and culture into it.

Kendyll  is a romance writer. Her relationship with her partner is rocky so when she gets a chance to move them to a new home and a fresh start she jumps at it. However the home she falls in love with is a old plantation home. As a young black woman why is she drawn to a place where they used to have black slaves? After she takes over the house she starts to have dreams about the people who used to live there.

Are the dreams memories or just the imagination of a romance writer?

Add to this the confusion she feels with regard to Wes the man helping her restore the house. Feeling attraction to a white man is not allowed and is frowned upon by her family. So why can’t she stop the feelings towards him? Is Wes the man that appears in her dreams or is the romance of the house and its history making her recreate things.
