Foxport #4
Blooming All Along
Stevie Jones has everything she needs—a home she loves on the same farm that has been in her family for generations, her own corner of the farm to grow flowers, and The Flourishing Fox, her floral shop in town. She also has the best friends anyone could ask for, including Beckett Thompson. But when the opportunity presents itself to become the wedding florist for a socialite hosting a two-week wedding extravaganza in her quaint coastal town, Stevie can’t help but dream for more.
Beckett Thompson spent years rebuilding the Thompson name after his father tarnished their reputation and sent federal agents to the family estate’s doors. He has big plans and has stepped into high society to achieve them. But in this world, theories are casually thrown about regarding his reputation, theories he can’t have his best friend, Stevie, hearing when she’s pulled in for the wedding of the century. Especially considering the controversial deal he’s just on the cusp of securing.
She’s determined to expand her fields and prove she’s capable of more. He’s determined to keep their friendship intact when the two-weeks are all said and done. But what if they’re both allowed to want more? Weddings are all about love, and when lines begin to blur for Stevie and Beckett, they’ll need to decide if their love has been blooming all along.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5)
Release date: May 5, 2026
Stevie Jones is content tending her family farm, growing flowers, and running her small-town floral shop—until a lavish coastal wedding pulls her into high society and awakens bigger dreams. Her best friend Beckett, guarding his hard-earned reputation, fears the risks. As ambition and loyalty collide, blurred lines force them to ask: has love been quietly blooming all along?
😭😭 why does this small-town world have to come to a close?? Over the past four books, I have fallen in love with these friendships and the warmth of their romances. But more than that, I’ve fallen in love with C.A. Steinhaus’ ability to create such girly + comforting romance that fuels all the senses.
Beckett & Stevie’s story felt even more special: I love a girl who loves flowers! I love a guy who listens to the girl’s endless yammerings about what she loves!! Beckett is six-foot-something, blue-eyed, in finance, with (likely) a trust fund. I mean, the man drives an Aston Martin!! But what these two do best is listen + trust. I gobbled up every second of the lingering looks and touches
HUGE thank you for the author for letting me be on the ARC team for this series!
Perfect for you if you like:
Cute New England small town with charming friendships
Cozy romance writing style
Best friends fake-dating
His tattoo has a secret meaning
Similar:
Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison (open door)
Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams
Petals and Plot Twists by Jenny Proctor
🌶️closed door romance (kisses only)
⚠️explicit language (infrequent), previous death of parents

5 Stars.
💐 The vibes:
- Book 4 in interconnected standalones
- Friends
- Fake dating
- Friend group
- Small town
- Closed door (make outs)
“One of the things I love about flowers is the way that they are sure to bloom if you tend to them with enough love and patience. It might be on their own time, but even when you don’t see it, they are blooming all along.”
💐 My thoughts:
Ok here’s the thing. I looooove how this book tackled a friends-to-lovers, without it FEELING like a friends-to-lovers. It didn’t make the trope its entire personality, and this just felt like two people finally letting themselves fall in love. It felt so sweet and hot all at the same time. We don’t really get a friend zone vibe here- we just dive straight into it, and I loved it!
💐 I really liked Beckett and Stevie’s energy individually but also together. I was so intrigued with Beckett’s mysterious little side plot. This book (and the series overall) was such a happy read but also carries depth.
💐 The setting of Foxport is just so good!!! Every book in this series completely immerses me into this coastal Massachusetts small town. The foods. The flowers! The duckies. The taco dinner run. The outdoor movie. The small town vibes. The Friends date. The friendship between the four girls - and also the guys. There wasn’t a moment that I didn’t love. This author is so underrated.
Note / spice content: closed door (make outs); language (9 f*, a few other lower level words).
*This book and series is closed door - but be aware that this author publishes open door books but keeps them in separate series. She’s clear about which books fall under which spice range- so check her Instagram page.

I had the pleasure of being part of the ARC team and I loved this book from start to finish.
This was such a heartfelt and emotional read — the perfect small town romance for spring. Stevie and Beckett’s connection felt so genuine, and I really loved learning more about their history and watching their relationship grow throughout the story. Their chemistry, the emotional moments, and the cozy small-town setting made this one so hard to put down.
It was also so nice getting to visit Foxport again. I’ve truly loved this entire series, and this book was such a beautiful addition to it. Blooming All Along is full of heart, healing, hope, and all the feelings that make you think about the story long after you finish it.
I’m so grateful I got the chance to read this early, and I highly recommend!

The last book of the series! An easy and light read with a bit of romance and mystery. I liked the epilogue that shot 2 years ahead and gave an update on everyone in the series.

Oh, this was such a sweet ending to the Foxport series. Beckett & Stevie’s story is whimsical, bold, and gentle. As someone who loves flowers & all things spring, the nature of this story was so sweet. And as someone who just got married, I found so much comfort & relation in Stevie’s feelings about Beckett. The Foxport series was one I will never forget…each book felt like coming home in their own way, and Blooming All Along is no different.
This friends to lovers closed door romance is everything I needed and wanted in a spring read. If you haven’t read the Foxport series, start with the first one and you’ll devour the rest.
C.A Steinhaus is an icon! 🩷 thank you for this advanced readers copy.

Review of advance copy
Blooming All Along by C.A. Steinhouse is a heartfelt and deeply satisfying addition to the Foxport series, and easily one of the standout stories among the beloved friend group.
At the center of the novel is the relationship between Stevie and Beckett, which feels especially meaningful because of how organically it develops. Their connection is rooted in a long-standing friendship that’s layered with trust, history, and emotional closeness. Watching that foundation grow into something more is both natural and rewarding, making their story one of the most compelling in the Foxport series.
Beyond the romance, Steinhouse weaves in a powerful continuation of Beckett and Hayden’s family storyline. The exploration of what happened to their parents adds an element of intrigue and emotional depth, and the resolution brings a sense of closure that feels both earned and reassuring. The presence of their trusted federal agent adds another layer of comfort and stability to an otherwise complex situation, highlighting themes of loyalty and support.
One of the novel’s greatest strengths is how it maintains continuity with the broader Foxport world. Fans of the series will appreciate the ongoing glimpses into the lives and relationships of the other Foxport girls. These connections enrich the story, making the town feel vibrant and interconnected rather than isolated to a single narrative. I am truly sad to see their stories come to an end.
Foxport itself continues to shine as more than just a setting—it’s a community. The strength of the town, along with the success and individuality of each character’s business, adds an inspiring dimension to the book. It reinforces the idea that growth both personal and communal is possible when people support one another.
Overall, Blooming All Along is a warm, engaging, and emotionally resonant story about love, friendship, and healing. For readers invested in the Foxport series, Stevie and Beckett’s journey is not just memorable—it’s unforgettable.

It’s always been you + best friends to lovers + small town + final book in an interconnected standalone series!
When the opportunity to be the florist for an socialite’s wedding presents itself, Stevie knows this can help her towards the dreams she has for her business.
Beckett has spent years rebuilding his family’s name and business. But there are aspects of this he can’t bare for Stevie to know.
She wants to prove she’s capable.
He wants to protect their friendship.
But lines begin to blur when they’re suddenly fake dating for appearances.
Read if you love...
- caretaking
- fake dating
- found family
- best friends to lovers, childhood
- it’s always been you
- no third act breakup
- secret tattoos
- small town
- texts on page
It’s no shocker at all, C.A. Steinhaus has done it again! Somehow, in both of her series, book four—the final book—is my absolute favorite!
I read this one twice for proofreading, and I could not get enough. I wanted one thousand million more pages of Stevie and Beckett! And I could not stop sending her snippets she wrote that I’m just obsessed with!
This book will have you dreaming of flower fields, small towns, driving with the windows down, and the coast!
The mix of tropes is absolute perfection!
It’s always been you + childhood best friends to lovers is just chef’s kiss.
Beck’s tattoo will have you kicking your feet!
The cameos and found family with all of the previous MCs is so well done.
The plot itself is wonderful!
Gahhh, there’s so much I want to say but spoilers! I cannot recommend this book (and this series) enough! It’s just perfection!
Endlessly proud of you, CA, for yet another book and finishing another series!

ARC Review!!!
How lucky am I that my first ever ARC read is such a solid 5 stars🥹 I’ve waited patiently for Stevie and Becketts story since book one was released and as Stevie and Beckett once said… worth the wait.
Stevie and Beckett were both beautiful characters with a beautiful dynamic. I love that Stevie doesn’t struggle with being a “soft” character, but rather she is confident in it and identifies it as a strength. And Beckett, our sweet man… I didn’t fully understand how complex he was till the end of the book and it was so satisfying getting even more depth on him in the final few chapters. I love how these two were repeatedly protective of each other throughout the book and cared for one another. Their loyalty was unwavering and it was so refreshing that there was no miscommunication that led to doubts and mistrust. Beckett is so protective of Stevie but as I reflect, Stevie is just as protective of Beckett and it made for the sweetest transition from friendship to something more. Not a single scene between these two was lacking. The town hall scene made me giggle in every way, and their first kiss scene? Perfection.
The vibes in all the Foxport books have always been amazing…. But this book? Immaculate. I could picture everything so clearly from Stevie’s farm to the several wedding events. And Stevie and Beckett fit into each scene perfectly.
I loved the closure we got on the Thompson family and how we got a whole little mystery tied into a romance!! But let me tell you, I was not prepared for that epilogue. Genuinely I shed a tear, I’m not ready for this Foxport chapter to close! But I guess if it has to, Stevie and Beckett were such a perfect end to this series🤍

I have loved this entire series and that still holds true after reading the 4th in the series!! I absolutely devoured this book in a whole day (a work day mind you so I was reading it in every break and basically from the time I got home till the sun went down) that's how much I loved it!
Stevie and Beckett have been a long time coming as I've got glimpses of them in other books and with learning more about their history I realized it was even more true!
Foxport is still one of my favorite fictional small towns and the community there is so endearing and heartwarming 💖 I'm also happy to report that the flower shop ~ The Flourishing Fox ~ is another small business in this town that I would gladly support if I lived there!
I also love how C.A. Steinhaus manages to weave some suspense and mystery into these books! I was so curious to see what Beckett was hiding and how it all worked out 🤭
Plus you gotta love a book that includes How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days references 🫶🏻
If you love friends to lovers, fake dating, small town romance, coastal setting, and tattoo with a secret meaning then this is the book for you!
Thank you to C.A. Steinhaus for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review 💕 it means the world to me 🩷

Blooming All Along is such a sweet story about childhood friends to lovers, where everyone else in the town sees it but them although they secretly pine for one another. Packed with so much heart, a supportive group of girl friends, a little bit of mystery, and a small town that feels like Stars Hollow by the ocean, this is the perfect spring to summer book! 🌸
Blooming All Along is book 4 in The Foxport Series that is an interconnected standalone. Although not necessary, I would recommend reading them in order to avoid any potential spoilers.
Thank you so much @authorcasteinhaus for giving me the opportunity to ARC read this series! I'm extremely sad we're saying goodbye to Foxport one final time but incredibly grateful I got to experience it with these past 4 wonderful books. 🤍

ARC Review:
This book was absolutely worth the wait! It was the perfect ending to a perfect series and Stevie and Beckett are just perfection!! The pining is top tier and my me simultaneously screaming at them and giggling and kicking my feet🤭
The closure was amazing the cherry on top! I LOVED reading about all the different kinds of flowers through both Stevie and Beckett’s eyes.
From book one this series crept its way into my top three favorite series of all time and I can say it has stayed there after reading the other three!!🌹🌹🌹

This is the 4th and final book in the Foxport series and I have loved every book! The series follows a group of 4 girl besties and their love stories in a small town. The found family, not only between the four girls, but the rest of the town too, is so heartwarming.
Blooming All Along tells the story of Stevie and her childhood best friend Beckett. They have both always had feelings for each other but never did anything about it. I just adored how much they cared for one another and would do anything for each other. Their bond was unbreakable. So sad that this is the end of this series but can’t wait to see what comes next from her!
Thank you to the author for the eARC!

Book 110 of 2026
When I say I loved this one, I lovvvvvved it. Beckett & Stevie were set up *so* well in books 1-3. I love that their relationship was rooted in an 11 year friendship. Everything between them was natural and beautiful. Easily my favorite in the series. I only wish it’d been longer.
I realized in this story that some of the characters were from a previous series, so I definitely need to go back and read her other series.

Such a good ending to this lovely series. It was such a soft sweet book, which I’ve found to be the case for most of her books. ❤️ loved the callback to Sterling Ridge. Maybe we’ll get something for Stephen and Charlie sometime to connect all the dots 👀 either way, it was a lovely read.
June 8, 2026
This series has been such a cute, no-spice series to pick up when I’m in the mood for an easy romance. I love the small town vibe and the cast of characters. I’ve been waiting on Beckett and Stevie’s story since I read book 1! Loved this one as much as the first 3!

ARC Review
Blooming All Along by @authorcasteinhaus
Release Date: 5/5/2026
If you are looking for the perfect read to give you all the Spring time feels, Blooming All Along is a must read!
I have loved the Foxport series so much and this was absolutely my favorite in the series. C.A. Steinhaus truly has created books that feel like you’re going home every time you open up the pages. Not only are the romances swoon worthy but the friendship with the group of girls is something incredibly special.
Beckett and Stevie really are the perfect couple. I loved seeing their story develop and how absolutely sweet they were to each other (also how absolutely down bad Beckett was for Stevie). Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and on top of that, fake dating… *chefs kiss*.
Tropes:
💐 Friends to Lovers
💐 Fake Dating
💐 Florist x Financier

Blooming All Along by @authorcasteinhaus
Release Date: 5/5/2026
If you are looking for the perfect read to give you all the Spring time feels, Blooming All Along is a must read!
I have loved the Foxport series so much and this was absolutely my favorite in the series. C.A. Steinhaus truly has created books that feel like you’re going home every time you open up the pages. Not only are the romances swoon worthy but the friendship with the group of girls is something incredibly special.
Beckett and Stevie really are the perfect couple. I loved seeing their story develop and how absolutely sweet they were to each other (also how absolutely down bad Beckett was for Stevie). Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and on top of that, fake dating… *chefs kiss*.
Tropes:
💐 Friends to Lovers
💐 Fake Dating
💐 Florist x Financier
💐 Secret Tattoo
💐 Mutual Pining
