REVIEW:
Rooted in Love is quite and appropriate title for the story. I felt the deep-rooted love between Rosie and Saul from the start. I would love to read more about these two, as well as the other characters in the community. I feel so invested now. 5/5
I am so glad Rachel and Gideon did what was meant to be in Flowers For Rachel. Really, it couldn't have happened to two better people. 5/5
Seeds of Love is a story so deep in tradition, trust, love, family and humility. Would love to read more about Sadie and Eli. 5/5
Where Healing Blooms shows how gracious, kind and humble some people can be. It affirms your outlook on the human spirit. 5/5
Overall, each story was different in its own way and yet each was a fantastic read for me.

5/5
