Eve Anderson devoted the past five years of her life
selflessly caring for her ill father. Now that he has sadly
passed on, Eve no longer knows who she really is, or what
she
wants from the rest of her life. Throwing caution to the
wind,
she leaves America for a trip of a lifetime - Barbados,
then a
cruise, Lisbon, and finally three months to roam Europe.
Eve
hopes to find herself on this trip, but when she almost
drowns
in Barbados and wakes up in the arms of her dark, brooding
rescuer, Eve's life will never be the same again. But can
she
trust this mysterious stranger who sets her soul on fire?
Adamo de Leone is also at a turning point in his life.
Convicted of embezzling a
fortune, he has spent the past six
years unfairly imprisoned. Now broke and defeated, he
hopes to return to his native Italy and live a quiet
life running an old inn his grandfather left him. But
destiny has its own plans when it throws Eve into his path.
Together they have an explosive chemistry, but Adamo feels
unworthy of her. However, they are
unaware
that the person who destroyed Adamo's life now feels
threatened and has decided that Adamo needs to be removed
permanently. With murder attempts, devastating truths,
mafia
links and lies, can Adamo and Eve survive his past and find
a
future together?
WHERE LEMONS BLOOM by Blair McDowell is a pulse-racing
romance
brimming with suspense and intrigue. Eve is so lost at the
beginning of this novel, and it was such a joy to watch her
discover her own strength and fight for what she wants.
Adamo
is a deep character that struggles with guilt and self-
doubt,
but as the story develops, we get to see his determination
and
grit.
Eve and Adamo's connection pulled me in from the
start,
and their passionate encounters are sizzling. From bustling
New York to beautiful Italy, Blair McDowell paints a
picture
for the reader that is both breathtaking and evocative.
With
mystery, danger, true love and hope, WHERE LEMONS BLOOM by
Blair McDowell has got it all and I devoured this wonderful
story in one sitting.
When Eve Anderson meets Adamo de Leone on a ship bound for
Europe, she
has no idea of the
dark secret that will endanger both their lives. She
accompanies him to
his home on Italy’s Amalfi
Coast to open an inn left to him by his grandfather. But
then she learns
he spent five years in
prison for a crime he claims he didn’t commit. Could the
man she loves
be responsible for
embezzling eighty million dollars from the investment firm
he once
owned?
Adamo wants to hold Eve at arm’s length until he can clear
his proud
family name. But when
there is an attempt on his life and Eve is terrorized by a
gun-bearing
thug, he realizes how much
he wants her, and he must accept whatever help he can get
to uncover the
well-hidden trail of a
six-year-old crime.
