Review by Julie Williams
All she wanted was a love she
could BELIEVE IN.
Jessie Martin believes that when
it comes to love there are three types of people: the skimmers, the bottom
dwellers and the ones who dive for pearls.
Jessie is a pearl diver. She had thought her husband William was a pearl
diver too. But when William leaves her for a younger woman, it’s not just
Jessie’s heart that is broken, her ability to trust is shattered too.
Refusing to retire from the
battlefield of life, Jessie resolves to put her heartache behind her. She
doesn’t want to be that woman who was too scared to love again. There has to be
another pearl diver out there; all she has to do is find him.
When fate brings handsome flower
seller Owen Phillips into her life, Jessie believes he may be the one but is
her fragile trust about to be shattered all over again?
The Flower Seller is a warm, engaging read about love, deceit,
betrayal and hope.

Jessie and William Goode’s marriage has ended suddenly due
to William’s adultery with a young hair dresser named Chelsea. A difficult time
for both as they work in the same office as lawyers, William as an Equity
Partner, Jess yet to attain a partnership role she so desperately wants. Jess
hopes to achieve an amicable divorce settlement that ensures the family home,
The Lodge, remains hers. However getting what is rightfully hers turns out to
be a long stressful battle and this book tells of how bitter negotiations can
be.
Jess’s good friend Anne encourages her to move on and to
start socialising again, and after a few hiccups she agrees to go on a date
with Owen the local, younger than her Flower Seller. I really enjoyed their
relationship blossom as Jess tried to stop loving her husband. I had many laugh
out loud moments as William was referred to as The Dickhead and Chelsea, The
Tart. These lightened the serious parts of the book for me. I was hooked
throughout as to whom if anyone was going to get a happy ever after. The Flower
Seller is a lovely debut novel which deals with betrayal, love and heartache.
Many thanks to Ellie Holmes and JD Johnston of Brook Cottage Books for supplying the kindle version
of the book for an honest review. I will
certainly be looking out for more from this author.
