"As Love Blooms"

Lorna Seilstad

Tessa Gregory, the youngest of the 3 Gregory sisters, is the most adventurous and daring.  

Living in a time where she is hampered because she is a woman, she longs to be a horticulturist.  However, that is only a position a man is allowed to have.  She applies for a position at the city's prestigious Como Park in Saint Paul Minnesota, but is turned down because she is a woman.

She meets Reese King, gardener at the Park, and convinces him to help her prove she is worthy of the position.  Disguised as a boy, she works with Reese side by side.  But Reese doesn't see her as a boy.  He sees her as a lovely young lady.  

Then Reese finally wins the approval of his father and also his coveted position with Tessa's Garden design.  Tessa expects him to tell of her help, but he doesn't say a word.  

Heartbroken and angry, can she ever trust him again?

I enjoyed this book very much.  The books about the Gregory girls are always a good read.  There is just the right amount of romance, adventure and suspense.  

The best books are the ones which provide unexpected and unpredictable twists and these do!

I enjoyed this book very much.  Lorna Seilstad writes an interesting story that keeps your attention without all the unnecessary material that gives too much detail.  this story was particularly interesting to me because I have a Home Economics Degree.  I am anxiously awaiting the 3rd Gregory sisters story.
