Tessa Gregory is nothing if not tenacious. Denied a position as a horticulturalist at prestigious Como Park in Saint Paul, she is not above a little benevolent deception in order to get the park superintendent to change his mind and hire her. She plans to infiltrate the world of wealthy and influential people in hopes of drumming up financial support for a world-class conservatory. But before she can put those plans into action, she meets Reese King, a handsome gardener at Como Park--and a major distraction. Still, Reese might be the key to achieving her dream. But is his goal to help her . . . or to capture her heart?
Against a lush backdrop of early twentieth century Saint Paul, Minnesota, Lorna Seilstad weaves a sweet and sassy story that is sure to please. Tessa's young romance opens like a rose, stealing readers' hearts and filling their senses with the intoxicating fragrance of dreams come true.
1913 and women’s rights is the setting and backdrop for this story. I loved reading about this time period. This is the third book in the series on the Gregory sisters. I do wish I had read the first two books in the series. I would recommend reading When Love Calls first and then While Love Stirs before As Love Blooms. Tessa the focus in As Love Blooms is the youngest of the Gregory sisters, Her new dream for her life is to be a horticulturist.
