Title: Lotus Blossom Lane
Author: Annie Rose Welch
Genre: Romance
Series: Saving Angels #3
Rating: ★★★★★
Synopsis:
*Although the first two books in the Saving Angels series, Marigny Street and Red Dirt Road, could be read as standalone stories, Lotus Blossom Lane should not be. All roads start to merge in this book, so it should be read in sequence, or you might find yourself lost alongside the road.
Donna's Thought's:
"I will always be safe with you. My love is, has always been, will forever be safe with you."This is the third book from this amazing author and I have to say, it is by far the best. I love the other two, but I can see her progression as a writer in each book. This book is much different for her, its darker then her other works and so much more emotional. This book will stay with me for a very long time. It amazes me how she can take 26 simple letters and create such a beautiful love story.
"I have loved you for as long as the ocean has rocked, for as long as the sun, the moon, the stars have been it the sky. I have loved you longer than any of those things combined. I will love you even longer"
Lotus Blossom Lane is the next step on Layla and Michael Roberts’ journey. It sees them through their wedding and honeymoon. It’s an emotional journey, one that brought me to my knees a few times. I had to step away for a period of time to come to terms with the emotions and parallels to my own life this story evoked. Daniel and Eliska’s story is so beautiful yet tragic, but so well told, I had to remind myself that it is a work of fiction in order to remain calm.
"When you love someone," he said, gently running his finger up and down my cheek, “you'll do anything in the world to keep them, to make them happy. Love can make a man do crazy things. I'd do just about anything for you."
This story is a true love story. It has romantic love, love of parent and child, family love and “brotherly” love. It tells of a bond so strong, it transcends blood lines and space to draw two people together from worlds away. This book is a work of art that I would love to frame and hang in my home. Annie Rose Welch makes me believe in the beauty of true love and I long to meet my angel. Thank you Annie for this incredible book, I give Lotus Blossom Lane 5 stars and anticipate the next book in this series.
About the Author:
Born and raised in New Orleans, Annie has a habit of shortening her words and telling long stories. She speaks with a southern flair and cooks with it too. At the tender age of twenty- one, she hitched up her wagons (took her first plane ride) and moved out west to the big shake (California). Her writing career began one sleepless night when she imagined a gorgeous woman and a man with maniacal hair floating above her like lightening bugs falling from the sky. Curious about them, their story, and why they were floating around in her head, she sat down and penned (typed) her first novel, Marigny Street. A dream come true for her, she hasn’t stopped writing since. She loves a damn good love story, always has, no matter what the genre. She is particularly moved by imperfect love that in its own unique way is perfect, the notion of love at first sight, soul mates, and things that are generally out of the norm.
When she’s not writing she enjoys dabbling in photography and finding new, inspirational music to add to her collection. She currently (still) resides in the big shake (although her southern roots are calling her home) with her husband, daughter, and their two peculiar dogs, Boudreaux and Tabasco (who, call her crazy, bark with an accent).
