Always Florence

by Muriel Jensen

Not even love can keep her from her dream

Bobbie Molloy's dream to paint in Florence gave her the strength to battle cancer. Now that she's recovering, and just weeks away from leaving for Italy, she won't let anything—or anyone—stop her from making that dream come true. Not even Nate Raleigh.

From the moment he rushes in to save what's left of her studio—after his young nephews had inadvertently trashed it—next-door neighbor Nate has Bobbie intrigued. Everything about him is complex and endearing: two excellent reasons to keep her distance. She can't risk getting involved when she's just passing through. Her dream has kept her alive and it has to come first. No matter what the cost.

Cute romance about a man bringing up his nephew's because of their parent's deaths, and a cancer survivor.

Back to Harlequin after a too-long absence, Muriel Jensen's voice is as warm and funny as it always was, and Nate and Bobbie as captivating a couple. Toss two sweet boys and some lovely friends into the mix and you have the definition of Heartwarming, the name of this great new imprint.

This is a serious subject and reading can help you think about what you would do being in the situation. But, I couldn't really stay invested, the summery told me everything I needed for the story. Not too much surprise throughout the story.

The ending wasn't my favorite but I enjoyed this book overall.

Always Florence by Muriel Jensen

I love the characters in this book. The little boys Dylan and Sheamus who have lost their parents are so real my heart went to them. They have gone to live with their Uncle Nate, (the hero in the story) who up until his brother and sister in law were killed lived a single life and enjoyed every minute of it.

Now the three of them are learning to live together as a family when the boys meet new neighbor Bonnie Molloy, a recovering cancer patient by wrecking her art studio and the book just keeps getting better and better as you read. I gave it 5 stars.
The is a second one out called “Love Me Forever” which I won from Good Reads and will be reading it next.

I want to thank Muriel Jensen for her kindness in sending me both the first and second books in this stand along series. Great read!

The story is simple, no mind-blowing twists but it is heartwarming. Talks about the struggles of a recovering cancer patient and an uncle who takes care of his two nephews — I like how their responsibilities and dreams are clashing against on what they feel. My first read this year and after the longest book slump I ever had.
