Publisher Description
How did her love life become a community affair?
Since her divorce, Emily Lucretia—affectionately known as the flower lady to the people of Cemetery, Indiana—has been focused on her flower shop and taking care of her aging aunt and uncle. Her love life is hardly the centerpiece of her busy days.
Saul Culver, the town’s favorite bachelor and owner of the local barbecue joint, has been interested in Emily for a while. But as much as Emily knows about flowers, she can be a little oblivious to her own appeal. Saul is determined to show her just how special she is.
Saul isn’t the only one trying to get Emily out of her shell. Well-meaning locals have started tagging photos of Emily with #theflowerlady on social media—and now the entire town is involved in finding her Mr. Right. Saul won't give up easily. He’s finally caught her attention, and he's determined to convince Emily—and the town—that this is the real deal and not just some passing trend.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this adorable contemporary romance, bestseller Foster returns to Cemetery, Ind., (first visited in The Honeymoon Cottage) to pair up two more town residents. At 41, long-divorced Emily Lucretia, owner of the town's flower shop, believes love has passed her by—though she regularly aims admiring looks at the town's most eligible bachelor, Saul Culver. Saul owns the local barbecue joint and has long been interested in Emily and eager to connect, but she's oblivious to her own appeal. After her uncle Sullivan is hospitalized, Emily focuses all of her attention on him and Saul provides support. Meanwhile, the town's well-meaning residents a start a hashtag, #theflowerlady, intended to move Emily from the background to the foreground. As Emily slowly acclimates to being in the spotlight, she and Saul begin to get serious—until an unexpected arrival adds uncertainty. The author masterfully blends heat and sweet in a fast-paced plot helmed by a charming hero and heroine. The result is exactly the heartwarming happily ever after that Foster's fans expect.
Customer Reviews
Another entertaining story!
This was another entertaining story from the town of Cemetery, Indiana. Emily, who owns the flower shop, doesn’t realize how much she impacts the citizens of her town, especially Saul, who owns the local barbecue restaurant. He’s noticed her for quite awhile, while she seems to be oblivious. The secondary characters are just interesting as the main characters. Gentry McAdams, Emily’s employee, moved to Cemetery to start over. Is he, also, vying for Emily’s attention or did someone else catch his eye? How about Mabel and Sullivan, Emily’s aunt and uncle? Of course, Kathleen plays a major role in Emily and Saul’s relationship!
I Love small town romances
The Little Flower Shop
Welcome back to Cemetery, Indiana where life is hopping at the Flower Shop and with the Flower Lady. I loved reading Emily and Saul’s love story. Plus a bonus love story and a tried and true 48 year romance. Lori Foster delivers an excellent story, with fun characters in a quirky town you just want to visit! And don’t forget Kathleen the mannequin, it wouldn’t be Cemetery without her! Two thumbs up for a feel good happily ever after!
A colorful, feel-good story!
This story made me so happy! There is something so compelling about a man who knows what he wants and who has the patience to work for it. Saul is everything you could want in a man: patient, caring, funny, successful, giving and good looking. Emily is someone I’d love to be friends with. What a kind and loving woman! Their story is beautifully written and kept me reeled in. One of my favorite things about Lori’s books is that she gives us a colorful supporting cast that I just want to read more about and this story was no different. The second installment in The Indiana Summers series does not disappoint and is so worth the time!
