She didn't expect to fall in love – but roses
aren't the only thing blooming on Galveston Island.
Cassia Pappas has found herself in a nearly
impossible situation. She wants to spend her time immersed in her new job at a
Galveston Island floral shop, arranging blooms and brightening occasions with
her lovely creations. But her boisterous Greek family – especially her father –
has other ideas. They've all relocated to Galveston to open up a new family
restaurant located on the Strand – directly across the street from iconic pizza
place, Parma John's – and they want Cassia's full participation.
To make matters worse, as Cassia is trying to develop a strong
professional relationship with Galveston's premier wedding coordinator, Bella
Neeley, her own father is intent on stealing all of the Rossi
family's faithful customers. Not exactly the best way to get into this former
Rossi's good graces!
Still, at least Alex, that hot delivery guy from the nursery, is
always hanging around the flower shop…
Future readers,
beware: reading A Bouquet of Love
left me badly craving a gyro. Actually, with all the talk of delicious smells
and tastes of both Greek and Italian food, my mouth just never stopped watering…
and I loved every bit of it.
Janice
Thompson’s A Bouquet of Love is a
fun, zany story of the wacky, My-Big-Fat-Greek-Wedding-esque
Pappas family determined to start a Romeo-and-Juliet-esque
family feud with the Rossis. Cassia Pappas, the lovable and “normal” main
character, naturally becomes caught in the middle, deciding whether to honor
her family as any good Greek girl should or follow her God-given passions and
dreams. As Cassia struggles with her choices, the cast of quirky and humorous
characters surrounding her creates many laughable, albeit semi-exaggerated and
slightly preposterous, situations in the escalating feud. This book is
lighthearted and charming, and I don’t think there was a single chapter in which
I did not laugh out loud.
A Bouquet of Love is the fourth
installment in Thompson’s Weddings by Design series and includes a host of
familiar characters from many of Thompson’s previous novels. Yet, it is
perfectly understandable and enjoyable read on its own. It’s a delightful
story, sure to entertain fans of Janice Thompson or simply the genre of romantic
comedy. Don’t hesitate to join in the Pappas-Rossi shenanigans and pick up a
copy of A Bouquet of Love today.
