Lillian (Lily) Carter has to marry to save her family and their business. Lily will receive her inheritence (which is a piece of land in the Boston Harbor area) that her brother desperately needs in order to keep their ship building business afloat, but according to her parents last will and testimate, their children only receive their inheritence after they marry. She is basically given till the end of the season to choose a husband, or her brother will find one for her.
But the only man Lily wants, doesn't seem to want her back.
Eric Sampson's wife died two years prior in a carriage accident. Since then, he has kept his focus on is business and his son, Toby. As determined as Lily is to gain Eric's attention, Eric is equally determined to stay away from her. But as Lily gains more and more attention from other suitors, Eric's reasons for staying away seem to fade.
While the relationship between Lily and Eric is the primary focus of this story, the mystery/supense factor is what kept this from being JUST a historical romance. Lily in Bloom was a fast-paced, romantic read that I absoutely LOVED.
Even if you don't normally read "historical romances", PICK THIS BOOK UP!!
Rating: 5 out of 5
