An Ann Shorey story always provides readers with a sweet romance,interesting characters and a fascinating historical setting and Where Wildflowers Bloom is no exception. Set in the aftermath of the Civil War, Ann’s characters’ lives epitomise the struggles of the day. Faith Lindberg is trying to maintain her grandfather’s store against community opposition, after losing her father and brother in the war, Curt Saxon fights demons in his mind following the trauma of the battlefield and Royal Baxter is desperate to make a future for himself. Steeped in the historical era, Ann deals with issues that we face today, from post traumatic stress disorder to age related dementia.
I enjoyed Ann’s character development, especially Curt and Rosemary, along with understanding the prejudice against a woman wanting to take on a commercial responsibility. I had a moment of frustration due to the ease with which a transfer of affection occurs – it’s a little bugbear of mine that pops up often in romance novels. That said, Where Wildflowers Bloom delivers everything readers of traditional, sweet romances desire.
