Review for When Love Blooms by Melanie Moreland (ARC)
Sometimes love comes around and slowly creeps into your life. Other times it hits you over the head like a lead crystal vase. Since my real life version of love reflects the second part, I always find a kindred spirit in the storyline. That passion that you just instantly connect - your soul has found it's forever place.

For Ethan, he found his forever on the way to apologize. Multiple times. I love both characters. You get Ethan's stunned disbelief that he is now become impulsive. And Lily is just graceful and open - like she knew Ethan was coming just had to wait for him to finally show up.

I am a big fan of Melanie's storytelling. She gives you characters that you understand and don't feel like you are surface skimming regardless of the word count. You get what you expect, love, laughter and a definite happily ever after. 5 out of 5 stars for this story.

Disclaimer: As I have the opportunity to read more of stories, I'll amend the review. However, based on this one sample, if this is what the readers are in store for, the price of admission is well worth it for a very deserving charity.

Once Abigail wakes up without any or should I say very little memories I am surprised that nothing of her old life comes back to her. What memories come to her are a bit crazy and at first I have no idea what is going on. It's amazing how Matthew steps up and takes care of Abigail they seem to have a unspoken bond without even knowing each other. There is a lot of sexual tension. A few hot almost sex scenes. Some heart breaking moments. Fabulous ending. I thought that is where their story would end the ending was good enough that I was satisfied but NOPE there is more which I am totally excited about because there are some things I would like to know more about.… (mehr)
