My Review:
A dating columnist with a strict no dating men in uniform policy collides with love when she meets a handsome navy commander. Can love blossom or will they part ways?
I love a romance where love comes without warning. In Cherry Blossom Serendipity, you have Lexi who falls for a navy man and falls hard. This romance has it all: a couple who is perfect for each other, a dance to attend, separation, conflict, Fleet Week, and romance. There’s also plenty of emotion and descriptive narration. Nothing sweeter than spring romance…
Let’s start with the characters. I connected with Lexi right away. She’s got good reasons to not date military men. I had the same dating policy when I was in my twenties. Needless to say, the ending is emotional. I’ll never look at Fleet Week the same. Steve is also a character worth cheering for. He’s such a wonderful, caring man and one I also connected with.
The romance is expertly executed with a rom com military vibe. This is my first contemporary romance by this author, and I enjoyed it immensely. I especially like the interplay between Lexi and Steve. Their chemistry is off the charts.
If you’re looking for a beach read/spring/summer romance, you’ll love Cherry Blossom Serendipity. If you’re a part of the military romance community, this book is for you.
