Rosie’s Garden of New Beginnings
Rosie
Steadman needs a new start. It’s over a year since her husband died, and there
must be more to life than her job in retail. When she spots an advert to rent a
garden, it feels like the perfect project.
Media
celebrity Connor Forbes is currently lying low in his brother’s flat after a
public break-up and, with job prospects drying up, finding someone to look
after the overgrown garden is the least of his problems.
For
both Rosie and Connor, it’s a strictly business arrangement. But can they keep
it that way?
As
Rosie gets to know the man beneath the tarnished image, she finds it harder to
resist his charms, but she’s been hurt before and Connor has a reputation – can
this really be a second chance at love?
My Review:
Rosie's Garden of New Beginnings is a heartwarming romance. Rosie is a widow and after mourning for a year, Rosie wants something more than a life in retail. For those of us who have ever worked in retail, we sympathize and empathize with you, Rosie. Her fresh start takes her to a garden for rent. More than just vegetation flourish in Rosie's garden. The owner, Connor Forbes, celebrity-in-hiding, is trying to straighten up his image. A friendship blossoms between these two opposites and I was totally here for the shift.
This includes several sensitive themes but the author writes about them beautifully and with sensitivity and care. The characters are well-written with great personalities and charm. I enjoyed the world created by Linda Corbett, how it was set up, and how it was developed. Rosie's Garden of New Beginnings was written with realism and emotion. I was engaged from the very beginning and am glad I picked up a copy of this book.
I was provided with a copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
