What People Are Saying About Sheila Roberts
|
It’s genuine, honest and beautifully portrayed. A truly delightful story. Every. Single. Page.
-Reader to Reader No one writes emotionally satisfying, warmhearted tales of small-town life quite like Roberts (Home on Apple Blossom Road, 2016), as she proves in the tenth book in her Icicle Falls series that Lake Wobegone has nothing on this Washington town when it comes to spirited charm and quirky humor. - Booklist |

LOVE IN BLOOM
Buy Now From Amazon and B&N
Love In Bloom is a wonderful story with characters so real and defined I feel like I am personally acquainted with them. Each of these women has a tale to tell, and when they can't talk to their families, they talk to each other. There is humor and emotion in large quantities in this fantastic book that is next to impossible to put down. Kudos and a large bouquet of flowers to Sheila Roberts for giving us one of the best books of the year.
-Fresh Fiction
Think Cyrano with women, as florist Hope pens a note to contractor Jason from her sister, Bobbi, that sets Jason thinking he’s met the woman of his dreams. Hope is a breast cancer survivor with reconstruction issues and figures she’s out of the running even as her feelings for Jason blossom. Gardening, girl talk, and a gorgeous guy underpin this tale of what constitutes beauty and one’s true self.
