Book Description:
Alice runs a New Orleans flower shop alongside her aunt, but thoughts of her
mother, who went missing during Hurricane Katrina, are never far from her mind.
After getting off on the wrong foot with a handsome yet irritating man who
comes to her shop, Alice soon realizes their worlds overlap--and the answers
they both seek can be found in the same place.
In 1861 Charleston, Clara is known to be a rule
follower--but the war has changed her. Unbeknownst to her father, who is
heavily involved with the Confederacy, she is an abolitionist and is prepared to
sacrifice everything for the cause. With assistance from a dashing Union spy,
she attempts to help an enslaved woman reunite with her daughter. But things go
very wrong when Clara agrees to aid the Northern cause by ferrying secret
information about her father's associates.
Faced with the unknown, both women will have to
dig deep to let their courage bloom.
My Thoughts:
I've adored each book in the Heirloom Secrets series, but I think I enjoyed Where
the Last Rose Blooms the most. Book 3 ties up the series in a beautiful
way, with family helping family and weaving all the pieces together. I love the
references to what flowers mean throughout the story and the incredible coding
system used by Rose. This book is filled with wonderful characters and a few
rogues. If you enjoy time-slip novels and stories connected to the Civil War, you'll
enjoy this story. I've been to New Orleans and Charleston where much of the story
is set and loved visiting again through Clark's rich description. I
received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review
are completely my own.
