I loved the second chance romance between Andy and Nikki in Anderson in Bloom! These two former child stars have taken such different paths since their breakup, but it’s amazing how one moment can bring them back together. There is always a level of tenderness between them, even when their relationship’s vulnerabilities are on full display.
This is one of those romances that you just want to curl up inside. While Andy and Nikki certainly have their own things to work through, the combination of the cozy Maine town and floral shop setting was perfectly warm and inviting. I loved how flowers meant so much in this book, and how their meanings were portrayed to others.
Anderson in Bloom was a wonderful read! Jennifer Dugan’s portrayal of the love between Andy and Nikki was a total delight, and I enjoyed every minute. This is another peak second chance romance story and a must read for both fans of queer romance and fans of romance as a whole.
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

It truly was a look behind…
ARC Review: The Shippers by Katherine Center
Publication Date: May 19, 2026 At this point, I should know that reading a Katherine Center book will destroy me in the best way possible. The Shippers is the epitome of the “it was always you” trope. Jojo and Cooper’s story had me kicking my feet and screaming. I loved every second of their adventure…
