Heading into her final year of college, Flor seeks out the help of an unlikely benefactor to secure a summer internship working with horses. Arriving at the secluded Belo Horizonte ranch, Flor is awed not only by the majestic beauty of the place, but also by handsome cowboy and skilled horse trainer, Collin Taylor.

Blossoming Flower is the first book in the Wildflowers series. Flor finds herself on her own and trying to figure her own way after her father is disgraced and in serious trouble. Reaching out to a family friend FLor finds a new experience and place to figure things out for herself before finishing her last year of school. With a love of horses and the goal to become an equine veterinarian, a ranch is the perfect backdrop for this story. The description of the stables and the horses was outstanding! This a great story with some interesting characters. I would love to read more of Poppy’s story. There is a little bit of a cliffhanger, which I am hoping one of the other books will follow up on, but it is worth the read.

Blossoming Flower is the first book in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow and an enjoyable romance story and a good start to the series. But nothing is ever easy in the path to romance and the burning desire and wanting between our characters was a slow slow burn. The sexual tension is almost palpable but they both had things in their paths that they needed to face and deal with before coming together. The story is well written and Vivian sets the scene with her rich and vivid attention to detail and there were times I wanted to smack some sense into some of the characters.
I am off to read the next in the series and hope it is just as good as the first.

5 Stars!!!!!
This is the first book in this series and I found it to be quite refreshing. The book was very gripping and had me glued from page one. I have found yet another new author to add to me list of favorites.
This story basically sets the basis for the series and we meet Flor. I really liked how the whole storyline was set up and how it evolved. The chemistry between Flor and Collin is really on fire. The drama that unfolds around them as they fall in love is very gripping. The drama that surrounds them keeps the reader transfixed to the book. I cannot wait to read more from this author!
Blossoming Flower (Wildflowers Book 1)
Written by Vivian Winslow
4 out of 5 stars
Blossoming Flower is the first book I’ve read by Vivian Winslow but long before I finished I downloaded the other books in Wildflowers series.
This isn’t what I would consider a short book but it read quickly and there wasn’t a time where I found myself bored or thought the storyline was lagging.
The characters were fantastic, I connected to Flor right away and liked how she was so level headed and mature for being in her young 20s. Collin was just as enjoyable and the supporting characters were warm, wise and welcoming with a family feel to them. There are a handful of quotes that really stuck out to me about love and life and reminded me that we all experience many of the same things regardless of our current walk or life. I love how the story is engaging as secrets slowly unravel but there are no over the top plot twists. I am really looking forward to reading more of the Wildflowers series.
The Gilded Flower Series: Wildflowers Book 1, Blossoming Flower written by Vivian Winslow. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this story but once I started it I did not want to stop. Blossoming Flower pulled me in right away and once you learn about Paco and Collin you want to see how it plays out even more. The more you get into the story you realize something is going on, everyone has secrets but at the Belo Horizonte everything is being kept from Flor. This story hits a few emotions you feel for Flor, but then you are happy that she’s making it on her own and standing up for herself. Then you are wondering how it’s going to end….
Book two in the series is Forbidden Rose.
Blossoming Flower (Wildflowers Book 1) By Vivian Winslow. This is my first story by this author and what a way to start. The author built a tantalizing book world I never wanted to leave. Flor is a bit lost in her world. She knows what she wants she’s just trying to find a place to also belong. The chemistry between her and Collin jumps right off the pages. These two flawed characters were so amazing to watch grow. The storyline is easily followed and paced nicely. Characters are complex and believable. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down. I’m giving this book a five star review and can’t wait to read more from this author.

Review By Anastasia D.
Blossoming Flower by Vivian Winslow is the first book and the Wildflowers series and I believe the first book I have had the pleasure of reading. I found myself caught up in the story from the very beginning and it didn’t let go until the end.
Flor had an easy life, at least financially growing up but that all changed rather quickly. The relationship she has with her mom reminds me a bit of my mom and me, but without the money. She was so level headed and down to earth ehich made me adore that much more.
Collin is a broody and hot cowboy. He wasn’t sure about Flor at first for several reasons but once he let her in he didn’t regret it.
I can’t wait to get started on the next book!
