I would have liked this collection better if the stories hadn't been pushed toward romance so quickly. There were a lot of funny parts in these novellas that made it so easy to read and it is just the perfect kind of book where the reader doesn't have to invest a lot of brain space to be thoroughly entertained.
Fern Michaels' novella is a sweet story about moms and daughters coming to terms with family secrets and with family love winning out over all.
The Lori Foster novella is my least favorite of the three stories in this book. The path of love between Cory and Austin was a bit of a stretch for how quickly it developed.
Carolyn Brown wrote what was to me the funniest story in the collection. The meddling grandmas really took the cake on this one.
All in all, In Bloom is an enjoyable read for those lazy afternoons when what the reader needs is an escape with a story, a blanket, and a cup of tea. Four stars.
