Rachel Harris is looking for more than simply following her family’s expectations that she marry. Having turned away a suitor, she feels God’s hand encouraging her to take a job as governess in a remote part of Idaho.
Dru Blake knows she is dying but her desperation is only focussed on finding the right woman for her soon to be widowed husband. Hoping to play matchmaker and repay Gavin for his sacrifice, Dru pins her hopes on Rachel being the one but keeps her plans a secret.
Unaware of the true nature of Dru and Gavin’s marriage, Rachel is horrifed at the attraction she feels for Gavin and trys everything to turn her feelings from him. Will a dying woman’s wish for a loving family for her girls ever come to fruition?
When Love Blooms is vintage Robin Lee Hatcher! Undoubtably one of the best writers of historical genre, Robin quickly draws the reader into her characters’ dilemmas, creates exceptional romantic tension and weaves her faith into the story in a gentle and meaningful way. Gavin, Dru and Rachel are characters to love and Robin pulls off what could be an unbelievable situation perfectly. Thoroughly engaging with great dialogue and setting, the romance reader can’t go wrong with When Love Blooms.
