Review, Excerpt & Giveaway! Bride in Bloom by @JulieHartnett @RSofRomance


Meet Victoria & Cameron in this fabulous stand alone!

NOW AVAILABLE!



For Victoria, it started with the perfect dress and the perfect man...well, she thought he was perfect.
For Cameron, it started with a devoted wife and a bright future...until he discovered devotion was never high on his wife's list of marital duties.
When trust is tested and faith in the power of true love is lost, there is only way one to restore it:
Give that person everything you’ve got, nurture it, love it…
And watch her bloom. 


After reading the blurb I was not expecting the way this story went.  It was good, but interesting...

Cameron is a man who has suffered the worst betrayal.  He's lost the one he loved and trusted the most.  He's devastated and his heart is bruised.  But even through all of this there is a bright spot...a beautiful light and her name is Victoria.   She's engaged to another man, but sometimes things have a way of working out or at least Cameron hopes.

Victoria is beautiful both inside and out.  She's sweet, lovely and has a heart of gold.  But soon her wonderful world will be ripped to shreds.  Will she be able to move on and find herself?  Find love again?

Cameron has all the reasons to shy away from love, but he's drawn to Victoria.  He's promised to prove to her anytime she needs it to show her how beautiful she is.  He makes it his mission to win her heart.  He knows that they are destined to be together. Victoria is unsure of Cameron, but he keeps pursuing her and she can't help swoon every time he does something.  Will she let her heart open up again?

This book was swoon worthy at times, but it also made me mad.  I mean I didn't get her reaction to what happens to her...I would scream, yell, cry and punch things.  Victoria was upset, but didn't really react a lot.  I was mad for her.  I also was a little lost to some of the characters because I have not read any of The Leaves series.  It doesn't take away from the story, but I was confused a little at times.  As for the characters...I love her friends Kathy and Dee.  Great set of girls.  Actually all of them are wonderful.  They were Cam and Tori's biggest cheerleaders.  

I enjoyed the relationship between Cameron and Victoria.  It was destiny!  They were like a match made in heaven.  I will say I was hooked right from the first few chapters.  I needed to know what happened and needed to see if Cameron would get his HEA.  This book has it's moments of silliness, sexiness, anger and some shockers....but it's all woven together beautifully.  I recommend this book to anyone who wants a sweet romance with a few twists.  4 Stars!

After we listened to his one sided argument, my girlfriends and I sat there stunned.
“Remind me to change my panties,” Dee stage whispered to Kath. When he was off the phone, the petite Dee with her dark brown hair and big blue eyes looked at Cam and said, “I will pay you every dollar in my bank account to talk that way to me.”
He jerked his head toward her. “Excuse me?”
“Your voice is like hot fudge dripping off the end of a spoon.” He did have a terrific voice.

“It’s the beard,” I said to my friends. “It makes me want to just climb up onto his face and take a ride on the man-mane. Did I just say that out loud?”

 Julie is a Southern California native, a fan of a really good story (preferably romance with a happily ever after), really good pie (preferably pumpkin) and copious amounts of coffee (preferably Folgers).
She has always enjoyed writing and at one time thought she could be a singer songwriter...the 'writer' part is the one that stuck.
Julie is obsessed with pi...the equation(and the food). She's allergic to cats and cantaloupe and hates mushrooms...so if you ever want to give her a gift, those are out for sure.She currently lives with her own romance hero husband and two boys in Melbourne, Australia.
