Lavender Inn

The Flowers #2

by Olivia Lark

Tillie's double life is unraveling. But now she's trapped by a hurricane in a cosy seaside inn, and survival comes first. Certainly she shouldn't be distracted by the fascinating innkeeper, Clara. 

Meanwhile Clara's dream is faltering. A successful wedding party would have saved the family business, but the storm has dashed her hopes. 

Can Lavender Inn withstand the gale? And as Clara and Tillie draw ever closer, can each provide what the other needs -- not just love and comfort, but salvation from ruin?

I found the storyline too choppy and the romance too insta.

I would recommend the authors other works, but not this one.

A soft and sweet slow burn story that has one of my favorite tropes: forced proximity.
I enjoyed the weird mix of characters that lived or were passing by The Lavender Inn.

Historical pieces always intrigue me; especially when same sex relationships are central to the story. I get to peak into a difficult time when people were ostracized by family, friends, communities and/or killed for whom they loved.
Miss Lark's word use creates a soft and compelling story and it is a worthy read. I'll not spoil the story for other readers, but do suggest it be read.

beautiful

Sensitive, alluring and well written story. Pages filled with great characters and dialogues that make you keep wanting more. Love finds a way to bring two women together against the storm.

3 stars. A little bit better than the first one but again I couldn’t get fully invested. The characters are completely forgettable and while the writing itself isn’t bad I just don’t think this author is for me.

Lovely

Beautiful short sapphic historical tale. It was a perfect mrsel for this reader. There was just enough angst. Love how they flirted.
