Silver Blooms Flower Shop is the seventh in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady. I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate its publication. You can read my reviews of others in the series here, Starlight Cottage | Honeybee Cottage | Pepper Pot Farm | Lemon Drop Cottage | The Post Office Shop| Pepper River Inn .
Welcome to Pepper Bay. A small close-knit community where
you’ll find chocolate box cottages, quaint shops, love drama, and a happily
ever after.
Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that
whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of
Christie Barlow, Phillipa Ashley, and Holly Martin.
The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine
with recurring characters. Best enjoyed when read in order,
Silver Blooms Flower Shop: Lexi and Bryce have never been
friends. She views him as her childhood bully. So, she finds a way to stick it
to the fancy-schmancy businessman by using his name as her pen name for the
erotic romance books that she writes. That way, when potential clients try to
check him out online, all they will see is fishnet stockings, sexy CEOs, and
steamy sneak previews. But, when Not-Nice-Bryce comes back home to confront
her, their past comes flooding back, and maybe it wasn’t as bad as she
remembers.
My Thoughts
The dynamic between Lexi and Bryce is fascinating. You soon discover that beneath the chemistry which is undeniable, is a complicated relationship/ friendship which goes right back to their childhood. You also realise that some recollections vary, to coin a phrase, in that Lexi in particular has not remembered all the details of the past.
Lexi is trying to take charge of her own future, when we first meet her. Family is important to her, and she has certainly changed from the rather shy child who we meet in the flashbacks. You also meet up again with a few of the characters from previous Pepper Bay books which I love and the community seems to be as close knit as ever. As more characters are added to the cast who people Pepper Bay, it is nice to try to spot anyone who may appear in future books.
In short: love, friendship and respect is earned.
About the Author
Hello, I'm K.T. Dady. I'm the bestselling author of the
Pepper Bay series. I'm also a chocolate lover, mum to a grown-up daughter, and
a huge fan of a HEA. I was born and raised in the East End of London, and I've
been happily writing stories since I was a little girl. When I'm not writing,
I'm reading, baking cakes, or pottering around in my little garden in Essex,
trying not to kill the flowers.
