Anderson in Bloom
by Jennifer Dugan
Anderson in Bloom is a fun story of romance and reinvention. Anderson is a former teen tv starlette who had a romance with Nikki, her co-star. Nikki, went on to win awards and star in films, Anderson escaped the film industry where she now works as a florist who specializes creating bouquets based on the symbolism of flowers. When she sees her ex is planning to write a tell all memoir about their time together, Anderson sends a text that brings Nikki back into her life. Nikki has been pining for her former love, but will need to prove that she also has changed enough to earn back Anderson’s heart. The story’s characters are well developed and had me routing for not only Anderson and Nikki’s relationship but also for Anderson’s two best friends who also are working through their own romantic feelings for each other.
A Lady for All Seasons
by TJ Alexander
A Lady for All Seasons (available March 10) is TJ Alexander’s follow up to A Gentleman’s Gentleman and involves some of the side characters from that story including one of my personal favorites, Etienne, who thanks to his rich friends now has an estate of his own. Verbena’s father has lost her inheritance, so she proposes to Etienne that they have a marriage of convenience so that he has the respectability of her title and society connections. Complicating this are a gender fluid writer, who is smitten with Verbena. Alexander’s stories are always filled with intriguing characters whether set in current times or the past, but fans of the Bridgerton series looking for a queer take on the regency era will especially fall for this well crafted romance.
