Camille is supposed to keep her stress level down. A fake marriage is definitely against the doctor’s orders.

Camille prefers the title passionately obsessive to workaholic. But when her lack of sleep and diet of fish and chips land her in the ER, this makeup CEO heads to the French Riviera for some long overdue rest and relaxation. Days of sunrise yoga, healthy eating (no croissants!), and reading endless books are torture for hustle and bustle Camille. Tristan’s walking back into her life is exactly the kind of diversion she needs. He does things to her heart her doctor wouldn’t approve of.

Tristan is elated to be reunited with his secret university crush and eagerly offers her a rare opportunity: a spot on the exclusive French Royal Château and Garden Tour. There’s just one catch. They’ll have to enter into a fake marriage for a week. Piece of wedding cake, right? But as the days and nights pass, the lines between make-believe and reality blur, and Tristan finds it harder to hide his traumatic past.

When Camille finds out the truth about Tristan, she’ll have to decide if she’ll stick by his side like the wedding vows say or send him packing.

Love in Bloom is the third book in the A Destination of Heart contemporary, clean and wholesome romance series. If you like a strong and determined heroine, a slightly tortured hero with a good heart, and a romp through the romantic French countryside, then you’ll love this book by award-winning author Lisa Swinton.

Awesome Love Story

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

Enjoyed the lovely tours of the gardens and homes in France. Tristan has a lot of issues but I was hoping Camille could break through his walls. Mrs Chan was a truly evil pain in the butt. Lisa has written another wonderful love story and taken us to beautiful surroundings for the events to play out.

Sweet romance and fun humor!

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019

Book-cation time! If you are looking for a fun book to be swept away to fabulous vacation locations then this book is one I would recommend checking out.

Camille is a character from a previous book in the Destination of Heart series and it was so fun to read her story with this book. You don't have to read the other books in order to enjoy this one. Although I will say that I I really enjoyed the previous books and would recommend reading them. But no worries if you think you'll miss out on something by not reading them in order.

Camille is sent away on a vacation from work and is struggling being without work. I know many people would be all about getting away and enjoying their time in France in a premier vacation spot...but Camille, I'm with you. I would be so lost as to what to do. I'm sure I could come up with things (probably lots of reading books in the sunshine and enjoying some amazing food) but I think I would get on the vacation and think of all the things that I would need to be doing and that I wasn't doing. Any other moms out there who wouldn't know what to do if you weren't running kids around? I know it sounds pathetic and others would know what to do but seriously, when you're life for years has revolved around being the person who takes care of everything and everyone, completely stopping that and going on vacation where you are supposed to change is hard. (Yes, I've gone on trips with my hubby without kids and he has meetings and I have me time...I end up staying in my hotel room and just chilling-no judgement lol!)

Ok, enough about the whole not sure what to do thing. I loved the garden descriptions in this book and the palaces. Beautiful. I would love to go on this trip with you Camille. Her trip and vacation really picked up when she ran into her old college chum, Tristan. Together they concoct a fun scheme to get on this super exclusive garden tour...pretend to be married. Easy Peasy right? Wrong! Especially when they have struggles from their pasts that they're trying to keep hidden as well as feelings for each other that they never disclosed before they went their separate ways years before.

I loved the easy friendship that was already in place when these two came back into each others' lives. And I especially loved the chemistry that was between them. A fun and swoony read with plenty of humor and sweet romance. There's some light suspense and tension as well that these two have to learn how to navigate. And let me tell you, I enjoyed my time spent reading it.

Oh, bonus for those of you who read book 2, Kiss and Makeup, you get to see Connor again throughout this book. He is after all Camille's cousin, and the one who forces her to go on vacation. I loved the little scenes with him. Made me want to go back and read Kiss and Makeup. As much as I enjoyed this one, I absolutely adored Kiss and Makeup. I hope you enjoy them if you get the chance to read them. And if you've already read Kiss and Makeup and loved Connor, you know what a great character he is. *grinning*

Content: Clean. Some mild suspense and flashbacks. A character struggles with PTSD. Camille and Tristan are pretending to be married and share hotel rooms. There is nothing more than kissing in the book and no sex scenes.

Happy Reading!!!

Finding love on the French Riviera

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

Another story in the Destination of Heart Romance series. We met Camille in the last book Kiss & Makeup but since that wasn't her story I didn't realize what a workaholic she is. Camille hasn't been taking care of herself--working way too much (as in living her lab), not eating enough and certainly not drinking enough fluids--and she collapses at work. Her blood pressure is too high and her doctor orders her to take at least a month off from her company Lakr.

Camille has trouble turning off her brain, and doesn't want to be on a mandatory vacation on the French Riviera. Eating healthy meals (translate that to no croissants), taking sunrise yoga classes, and lounging around reading book after book is sheer torture for her until Tristan, someone she knew from chemistry class at university, shows up. He takes her a few places outside of the resort, and then gets her on an exclusive tour that's on her bucket list but there's a catch--this particular tour is for married couples only. They can pretend to be married for a week right?

Tristan is good for Camille. He teaches her tricks he uses to slow his mind and they meditate for a few minutes every morning. He has physical and mental scars from a terrible period in his life, and feels he's not good enough for Camille even though he knows he's falling in love with her. Camille is a wonderful character and is able to help Tristan through some of his issues and help him see himself as she sees him.

This is a great contemporary love story with beautiful descriptions of the places they visit on the tour. Camille's cousin, Connor and his wife Maddie, from the previous book make a couple of cameos because Connor's keeping tabs on Camille to make sure she stays on her mandatory vacation. I find it fun when characters from the other stories pop up.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, all thoughts expressed are my own.

A Lovely Addition To This Series

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019

I was so excited to see a new book in this series! Camille finally gets her love story. Camille appeared in the previous book as such a vibrant character I was really hoping this book would be about her.

Camille starts this story out in a bad way. She is overworked and has a complete physical collapse. Her mind and body are in need of some healthy R&R and what better place to find that then the French Riviera?! I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat but not Camille. She is not happy to be there at all. Crazy girl.

But then Tristan. Camille sure perks up at the sight of him! But poor Tristan is holding on to difficult things from his past and just can't seem to let them go. He is so convinced in his mind that he isn't good enough for Camille. There is a lot of frustration on both sides of this story and I felt that too.

I loved that there was some added depth to this story through Tristan's struggles. It was a slow reveal of information which is really what kept me invested throughout this story. I loved the concept of second chance at love and the pretend engagement that added some dynamic situations. Although I love flowers and gardens, that part of the story got a little long for me. The story definitely slowed down at the long descriptions of the many places the couple toured. I could have done without quite so much of that. Overall though, I think this was a lovely addition to this series.

Content: some descriptions of violence, torture. Kissing.
