Publisher Description
It’s never too late for a second chance…
Tonight should be the best night of Lucy Higgins’s life. Tomorrow she’s finally marrying Owen Cooper. She’s been waiting to start a life of wedded bliss, like the happy marriage her parents have. Except…she just learned her parents are divorcing and she’s freaking out. Owen has been so distant lately, shutting her out. Suddenly this big wedding seems like a really bad idea. Packing up her car, Lucy bolts for Rendezvous Falls and finds work at a flower shop while she gets her life together. The last thing she expects is for Owen to show up, wanting her back.
Owen Cooper’s carefully planned out life is ready to begin. He’s home from the military to join the family business and marry the sweet girl who captured his heart…until Lucy runs out on him. That was not part of the plan. Armed with an article that promises to help him win her back, Owen heads to Rendezvous Falls. But from the moment he sees her again, she seems…different. Happier, more confident and at ease. Can he convince this new version of Lucy that he’s become the man she deserves? He might need a little help from the local book club to accomplish this mission…
Don’t miss When Sparks Fly, the next funny, heart-tugging romance in Jo McNally's Rendezvous Falls series centered around a matchmaking book club in Rendezvous Falls, New York.

Customer Reviews
Love Blooms
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it
First, while this is a part of a series, you don't have to read the prior stories to enjoy this one. Granted prior couples and secondary characters make multiple appearances throughout, this can be read as a stand-alone.
I really felt for both. Owen returns from his extended tour of duty. He is dealing with some pretty heavy issues from this tour. While Lucy continually questions him, Owen doesn't open up with his feelings. After their wedding, the plan is for Owen to take over his parents' business so his parents can retire. Lucy started to work for the business as well but she isn't happy. She wants to be a florist. She LOVES flowers and arrangements. The night before the wedding, Lucy hears that her parents are divorcing after the wedding. Lucy has other issues (as she is a people-pleaser) but that is the "straw that broke the camel's back"! Combined with Owen's mother hi-jacking the wedding planning into something that is totally opposite of Lucy's simple mountain wedding, Lucy runs. Her BBF is from Rendezvous Falls so Nikki allows Lucy to borrow her more dependable car and sends to Rendezvous Falls, NY. Owen is devastated but his Army buddies help him to come up with a plan to "win" Lucy back.
These two have much to overcome. Between a grand gesture, gifting of a kitten (which the giftee is allergic too), meddling parents, and guilt, this is a book that will grab at the heartstrings.
This is a sexy story so I personally would only recommend to someone over the age of 18.
