Vihaan cares for Katherine, all he needs to do is get her to care for him. It has Vihaan’s meaningful aunt butting her nose in his budding romance. Do Vihaan and Katherine have a chance to make this work? I really enjoyed this book.
I love well written books with well developed characters and an engaging storyline. This was one of those books the author did a great job with these characters.

A great love story, with great characters. The story line is very good and is a great romance with a little drama and characters going against the happy ending. You will enjoy this book and, although it is part of a series can be read as a standalone.
Dean Hodel books seem to be either a hit or miss for me.
This story was more of a miss for me.
I absolutely love Vihaan. He’s the kind of guy that every girl dreams to find. He’s loyal, understanding of letting a woman stand on her own, sweet, and successful.
Katherine on the other hand I didn’t care for her. She came across at the beginning as being racist. I couldn’t understand her “issues” with color. I mean let’s be serious, everyone has had mishaps with not matching or picking out an outfit that flushes them out. But Katherine took it to the extreme and no longer keeps any kind of color but black & white in her life… Also, in what kind of universe would we be living in where she honestly doesn’t realize that Vihaan was ‘wooing’ her? Unless she just assumes he goes around kissing and calling all women his queen?
I don’t really feel like we got to know more about Katherine except that she has an aversion to people judging based on looks what a person can and can’t do.
this book was really great. she is in charge of the money for the new center. he is in charge of the design for the new center. two people who feel like outsiders are brought together. who will break first? read to find out.
Another sweet romance story in the town of Sweet Blooms. Love this series, each book has lovely characters, is a stand alone yet characters are linked. Cannot wait to read more

Can these 2 overcome all of their differences and his family and be the couple that they want to be?! Quick sweet romance! Loved it!
Sweet Blooms #5
Another story set in the town of Sweet Blooms, this one the fifth in the series. As such, I already was familiar with many of the characters. This is Katherine and Vihaan’s story.
There is a lot of small town love, WAY too much meddling, and just the right amount of romance.

Good Characters and an interesting blending interracial story
A sweet small town romance full of miscommunications, drama between family and friends and sweet toe curling romance. I enjoyed the characters and loved seeing them come together discovering who they really are and what they’ve been searching for.
Very sweet to imagine each individual has that one moment.
Balance is a completely defined by individual experiences. It’s common to settle for a role others expect of you. Does it truly allow you to Bloom? Finding the proper communication necessary it’s own education.
This was a great small town romance read. I really enjoyed the concept. Katherine can’t appreciate colors she is a black and white kind of girl. Vihaan is a designer and agrees to show her how to appreciate the colors around her .
I’ve loved reading all of the Love Happens Series and this one is just as good as books 1-4. Wonderful characters, so many emotions from all those in this story. I love happy ever after stories but this one was special for me.
Katherine and Vihaan work together on a restoration project. He has to work harder to win her over. Sweet hometown romance.

Sweet small town romance story. Lots of drama and issues to work through on the way to the HEA. Part of a series even though a standalone book.

It would be almost fair to say that this story is about the romance between Vihaan and Katherine. It is also about several of the people around them.
Some of them are unhappy and trying to be their most happy despite that. Others, at least one, seem determined to try to make those around them less happy, and say they are acting in the best interests of friends and family. This is utter horse pucky.
Adults circling forty do not need family direction for dating. Move on stuffy folks, and move on small thinkers who try to interfere and micromanage.
Katherine and Vihaan can find a way if they trust themselves and each other.
The sad singles in their lives – they need to embrace their own happy, and realize that finding new love can mean adding to lifetime happiness- it does not have to take away from past loves or life.
Intense KU romance !
I received an advance copy of this book from Booksprout. I read it on Kindle Unlimited. I really enjoy the romance and small town insights.
Vihaan and Katherine. I have to say that I always enjoy a sweet, clean love story. Theirs was that type of story. Vihaan was such a kind guy. I pictured the couple from The 100 foot journey.
I loved the Suhana and wanted to hear her story. However, Geeta was not given enough story line at all. After her fun appearances in other stories, I was looking forward to reading more about her in this story.
I didn’t care for Katherine. She acted racist at the beginning of this story. She was also as boring as the clothes she wore. Really, her problems stemmed from picking a poor color for a prom dress. No other life descriptors? What does she do for fun? Why is she distant from her family? How does she spend her free time beyond yoga?
Finally, this story was the second story in this series to begin with a woman falling from a ladder, the man claiming to be the hero, while the female blames him for her fall.

Another story of Sweet Blooms. We know the two main characters of this story already from all the other books.
Finally it is time to hear how Vihaan conquers his Katherine, despite the almost disastrous efforts of his aunt to protect him from a bad decision.
With charm and some help from his cousin Suhana Vihaan has a long way to persuade Katherine to be his.
Well-written with a wonderful touch of mixed cultures, insecurities and the bond of family – good and bad. Highly enjoyable to read it made me smile, sometimes laugh out loud, but also sad on occasion. A wonderful mix, just as life is.
