Wallflower BloomingWhen I m dealing with a new author I m not familiar with one of the first things I look for is how likable is her hero heroine Val the heroine of the story won me over pretty early with her gesture to support her cousin s run for mayoral office though it went against every fiber of her being She was clearly willing to set self interests aside to help a lifelong friend and family relation We find out early on that Val s PR firm garnered 40K for a humane society project that will save a lot of animals Hard not to like a person who goes out of her way to do good and then stays out of the limelight As she continued to ring up points with me I decided my favorite thing of all about the heroine was her somewhat cheeky self deprecating humor and realistic sense of her own limits She s not out to prove to anyone that she s superwoman If others would find her impressive she s focused on her non saving graces Again I found that fairly endearing The premise of the story is easy enough to get sucked into The heroine eschews confrontation at all costs and shies away from the limelight But in choosing to do the PR for Gwen who s running for office she gets thrust into the limelight and has to deal with confrontation than anyone would feel comfortable with least of all her But we get a sense that a part of Val knows from the onset that a static unchanging life is no life at all So for all her protests the plot takes her dragging and screaming in a direction which she may not want to go but so desperately needs to go forcing character growth and love on her at a time in life when most people are becoming even set in their ways and seeing love run for the hills Definitely good chick lit There were times when a little showing and a little less telling would have served me fine but the author definitely erred on the side of keeping the story as terse as possible this is in some ways of a novella than a novel Wallflower Blooming Fun relaxing romanticIt s enjoyable to watch Val coming out of her shell I especially like the way she comes to terms with issues from her past and in her mental health It s great to see her gain confidence and take charge of her life. Wallflower bloomingm mm The relationship with John is icing on the cake Wallflower Blooming This book was the perfect light romance to curl up with on a Friday night I fell for John and Val as hard as they fell for each other I loved the connection that Val and Gwen share too and seeing just what they would do for each other Wallflower Blooming Hypeness Rating 4.

Wallflower Blooming epub reader My Review You know this wasn t that bad of a book When I first read the description it caught my attention a little bit but I didn t fall in love with the description After reading many reviews on this book I couldn t tell how this book would turn out but I gave it a shot nonetheless I must say that I was pleasantly surprised This book was a very simple easy read It wasn t anything too difficult I really enjoyed the topic of the book Behind the scenes of campaigning is a lot hectic than we think it is I liked how Val was actually a real character She had some flaws in her and she dealt with family issues as well I liked this because I personally don t like perfect characters in a book Val was definitely someone I could connect with and a typical girl on the planet I also like how Gwen Val s cousin was built up as well Gwen seemed to be a very strong and independent woman throughout the book I would love to read a book from her point of view as well How could I miss the romance between Val and John Though it was adorable I think the author could have worked to build up the relationship The romance felt very quick and fast I think if the romance was slowed down a couple of notches it would have been perfect Additionally I know we aren t supposed to judge book by it s cover I wish the cover was a bit appealing and unique This book has a lot of potential and needs appeal on the cover Lastly I loved that I was able to read this book right around when the campaigns for president took place as well It was almost synchronized together Thank you Ms. Do wallflowers bloom all summer Rivers for providing me a copy of this book I really enjoyed it and I hope we get to read of your books in the future Wallflower Blooming Val Shakely loves routine The she sticks with her routine the less life surprises her Val rums a successful PR firm in her hometown Cambria Colorado Her life is peaceful with no excitement or unexpected surprises just the way she likes it Until the day her cousin Gwen decides to run for mayor and ropes Val into helping her Between the campaign and the current mayor s attacks Val s safe little life has taken a dive off the tracks If that wasn t enough Val meets John Hatfield the most mysterious and reclusive man in town Will Val s safe life ever get back on track or will the campaign change Val s life forever Though this book is a different genre than my usual read I thought it was pretty good When selecting this book to read I was hoping to change it up a bit I enjoyed the character in this book Val the main character was especially relatable The fat that she was such a wallflower yet well known by prominent members of her community such as the governor s wife was a little hard to believe but not impossible especially when paired with the fact that she runs a PR firm As for Johnthe male main character I had a bit of a harder time with him Maybe that had to do with the fact the he blended well into society but was supposed to be a recluse himself My greatest complaints about this book would have to be number one the repetitiveness Some aspects of this story were repeated over and over again Some of it was necessary but others not so much and even in the cases where it made sense that the author was going over it again I felt that it could have been referenced than retold Those are my thoughts of course and I could be wrong for other readers this may have been the right way for it to play out Second there were a fair deal of editorial mistakes They were not a hindrance in my understand following or enjoying the story but they were there and they were there enough for it to be quite noticeable All in all this was a pretty good romance that also delved into character growth female strength and the importance of forgiveness I would recommend this book to fans of contemporary clean romances as well as woman s strength I really did like that this story the romance aspect was clean I think other readers who like romance without too much erotica will greatly enjoy this book If you enjoy romance novels with erotic scenes however this is not that kind of romance novel I won my copy of Wallflower Blooming from Goodreads Giveaways for the sole purpose of an honest review Keep your eyes peeled for the author interview coming soon The interview will be on my blog stephanietiner. Wallflower blooming book pdf download com Wallflower Blooming This was a lovely story Val Shakely starts out as a shy future old maid who hides behind her job and routine But when she agrees to help out with her cousin s political campaign her whole life is turned upside down Family secrets come to life the truth about herself Val tried so hard to overlook and by finally letting go of her fear she can become her best self and attract her best man I have the biggest crush on John Hatfield Wallflower Blooming I wanted to like this book The cover is cute the blurb seems like a setup for a good story and I was assured when I agreed to review it that it was a clean sweet romance Well the cover is still cute but the story at least the execution of it is problematic and the romance is less clean than I was given to believe. Wallflower Blooming pdf merger While the basic bones of the story and the writing structure are good the characters are rather one dimensional and the progression of events feels like it s missing chunks or just doesn t work Especially the developing romance between Val and John Despite the fact that there is just no chemistry emotion that I could sense between them their early relationship is a bit stalkerish to be honest The day after their first encounter which amounted to noting that his tie matched her purse and a BRIEF conversation that doesn t go beyond surface level comments John shows up at her office building as she s leaving We find out shortly thereafter that he last minute scheduled a meeting with his attorney whose office is in the same building just so he could see her again In another encounter Val doesn t see John anywhere at a party even though she knows he was just there but later she gets a text from him that says I couldn t take my eyes off you Ummm creepy much And maybe these elements in a different book with different characters would have been ok but here in this book with these characters it didn t work for me I didn t sense any emotion chemistry between them or from them We don t get inside their heads or feel what they re feeling and the entire book just moves along without much emotion at all. Wallflower bloomings online Bottom Line The general premise of Wallflower Blooming has merit but the way it comes together is underdeveloped on several levels The characters need dimension the romance needs emotion and the plot needs definition If the story were tightened up a bit and the characters developed deeply this could be very enjoyable.

Wallflower Blooming booker I received a free copy of this book from the author All opinions are my own Wallflower Blooming Favorite Quotes There was something comfortable about a nice shallow man selfish and simple The she thought about her type the she realized her taste in men required some adjustment She s amazing and scary and beautiful and frustrating and I think about her pretty much constantly. Wallflower Blooming pdf merger My Review The title of this book should have been Wallflowers Blooming plural as both members of this couple Val and John were equally loner types although each were workaholics and than successful in their businesses so not total recluses but than a bit high strung socially awkward and prone to anxiety when uncomfortable Their mutual attraction pulled them far from their comfort zones and found them mystified and off balance Their usual MO of avoiding tension became an impossibility once they both found themselves the target of a petty bully who happened to be a somewhat powerful business owner and local politician one that Val s cousin was currently running against with Val s assistance in the campaign The characters were likable and relatable and the story was relevant and easy to follow Ms River s writing was observant thoroughly detailed and written from a third person POV with many insightful little touches that added texture and definition to the characters and depicted scenes The plot was somewhat tense and busy with the difficult campaign issues and emotional upheavals although the blossoming romance softened and sweetened the characters into stronger and significantly improved versions of themselves which is always a highly desired and pleasant outcome for any story Wallflower Blooming An easy read and adorable story Wallflower Blooming will be quick to distract you If you re looking for something quick to delve into this is your book Long enough to connect to characters short and light enough for a weekend read Wallflower Blooming
