The Blooming of Delphinium


From Amazon's synopsis: As far as hidden talents go, Delphinium Hayes is blessed with one of the more unique ones. With the slightest passing whiff, she knows someone's most admirable or weediest characteristic. This peculiar perception never fails to give her an advantage in life--until she meets two men who turn her world upside down.

Mason McCormack has agreed to help her with a group of seniors who have taken over her flower shop as their hangout. But his assistance is not without its price, and Delphinium agrees to compensate him with beautiful bouquets that seem to possess a bit of dating magic.

Elliot Sturgis, director of The Gardens Assisted Living Facility, is determined to discover why a group of his residents keeps sneaking over to Delphinium's shop to play poker in the walk-in refrigerator. He soon finds himself as enchanted by Delphinium as everyone else. But his devotion to following the rules and maintaining order does 
not endear him to the shop's owner.

There are some other characters who play a part in the warp and woof of the fabric of this novel.  One, in particular, throws a monkey wrench into the works and creates such havoc that the main players think they will never recover.  I truly enjoyed this book by Holly Varni.  She puts together an interesting plot with a lot of entertainment to keep the reader engaged.  

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and the fragrance of love.
