A heart-warming story of healing and new love set in the English countryside! Perfect for fans of Mary Stewart, Fay Weldon and Barbara Pym.

Can Hope find her place in the world…?

Having recently left the army, Hope Everett is now learning to live with a physical disability and PTSD. As she does her best to accustom herself to the civilian world, she wonders what to do with the rest of her life.

When a florist job becomes available on the Moondreams House estate, Hope jumps at the chance to indulge her lifelong passion for flowers. Despite her limited experience, her enthusiasm wins her the job.

However, her excitement is dampened when Dante Troughton — the aloof son of the estate owner — insists on overseeing the financial side of Hope’s business.

Though Hope initially finds Dante arrogant and overbearing, their uneasy relationship gradually grows into a mutual respect. And as both begin to open up about their past, Hope questions whether she is ready to let someone get close to her…

Can Hope make her new business thrive? Will she find solace in her work and blossoming friendships?

Or will the tragedies of her previous life overwhelm her…?

Don't give up hope

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024

The title is perfect for the book not only the name for the main character, but also what the book is about, hope. Discusses disability and the hardship that goes with it, in a way that you feel for her struggles. Wish the ending was longer. This is my first book by this talented author and looking forward to reading more.

Thank you for allowing me netgalley to read this book.

Sweet and slow love story, featuring resilient wounded heroine

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, given to me by Sapere Books via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
3.5 stars.
A sweet and slow love story, “Hope Blooms”, by Ros Rendle, features a resilient wounded heroine, seeking healing and passionate about her flower business, and a lonely hero with issues of his own.
I really liked the story’s gentle flow, watching Hope trying fiercely to overcome her wounds and embracing with dedication a new career, and Dante's rare manifestations revealing a lonely, insecure person.
Dante is a brooding hero dealing with deep-rooted feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. The loneliness and sense of isolation are strong in his personality, yet he’s also a thoughtful, kind hero.
I felt that Moondreams House worked as a haven for both Hope and Dante and I liked the interactions and relationships between main and supporting characters.
I found the leads did not spent enough time together to make the romance acquire substantive emotional depth beyond the mutual attraction; just a bit more development was needed.
The romance is more desire than completion (and I’m not talking about sex scenes), and although the main characters are basically honest with each other, they do spend a lot of time with other supposedly significant people.

Poignant, moving, and life affirming. It's a good story and I appreciated the realistic description of disability.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A heartfelt story of love and romance...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2024

Hope Blooms, the fourth book in the Moondreams House Romance series and my first read of 2024, is perfect for curling up to on a cosy sofa with a hot drink.

Set in the present day, this, in the main, is the story of Hope Everett; a former soldier who
served in Afghanistan. Hope, who now lives with her parents, is, after receiving a life-changing
injury, trying to navigate her new life as a civilian. Before leaving the army however, and as part
of her rehabilitation, she undertook a floristry and business course with dreams of carving out a
new career for herself. An opportunity presents itself when she spots an advertisement for a
florist at Moondreams House. Despite her limited experience, Hope’s enthusiasm and obvious
life-long passion for flowers impress estate owner David Troughton and wins her the job.
However, when David’s son, Dante, a handsome but slightly aloof individual – who we gradually
learn is fighting his own demons – is charged with helping Hope, her excitement wains a little.
Until, that is, she finds herself falling for him. The question being, is she ready to let someone
into her life.

Hope Blooms, which can be read as part of the Moondreams House Romance series but works
equally well as a standalone novel, is a delightful tale about courage and new beginnings. The
characters are well rounded and believable while the story has enough tension and uncertainty to
keep you turning the pages. Hope’s physical disability and PTSD has obviously been well
researched and is sensitively handled. Heartfelt and sweet, this charming tale of love and hope
will appeal to all lovers of romance and is the perfect companion for those looking to escape
from, and chase away, the chilly winter blues.

A warm and life affirming read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2024

The first book in the Moondreams House series I did read. I really enjoyed the book, mainly because it is written in a very warm style which embraces you. The characters are very believable and the issues they have to deal with are real and authentic, not only love but also friendship are at the centre of events. I do not want to say too much as I do not want to give any spoilers. The other reason I loved this book is because it has flowers and a florist business at its core and I LOVE flowers. The setting is also most enchanting, I would not mind working at Moondreams House! As an additional bonus I am fortunate enough to know the author and she is just as warm and friendly as her book! Definitely recommend this book and I will read the remaining ones in the series.
