    Review of A Love Song for Kayla and a ~*GIVEAWAY*~

    August 16, 2018 in my point of view

    A Love Song for Kayla by Kimberly Rose Johnson, reprinted with author’s permission:

    When two strangers cross paths their lives are forever altered.

    Kayla Russel has all but given up on finding love until a new guy to town walks into her flower shop. There is something mysterious about him that intrigues her, but when she finds out the truth everything changes.

    Derek Parker wants to leave his old life behind, but it proves to be harder than he’d anticipated when his past finds him. Now the woman he has come to care for feels deceived.

    Will his secrets come between them and destroy what could have been something wonderful?
    Previously published under the title A Valentine for Kayla.

    my point of view:

    This was quite a fun read! I have read many of books by this author, and this one ranks at the top for me! How many times are people so disappointed in Valentine’s Day traditions? The thought of a florist business owner who can’t stand Valentine’s Day is hilarious, so let’s meet Kayla!

    Kayla is by far a sweetheart, she is so generous of her time to everyone around her, and I just love that about her! Her dedication to her friends and business is such a blessing to everyone around her….but she cannot seem to find the love of her life. Why? Maybe her list of requirements is a little too long and not very practical? I mean, is there really a perfect human man?

    Enter Derek….his life was once spinning out of his control, so he has decided to take it into his own hands and put a stop to his past wrongs and try to orchestrate his future on his terms. Trying to keep his past a secret in this new town he wants to call home is not going to be easy though, and he ends up hurting those he cares about when the truth comes out.

    Now let’s mix in a vindictive ex girlfriend, a mother recovering from a stroke, a business partner who is in the midst of falling in love with a co-worker, a serious and possibly dangerous mystery, and Hollywood paparazzi descending upon their small town! How will Kayla and Derek ever find their way to each other?

    Both of these main characters have huge hearts and want God’s best for their lives, the journey they take to get there, with each other, is one I am so glad to have been able to a part of!

      My favorite flower would be an antique rose. Followed by a daisy which my Grandpa grew like crazy and was always willing to share with anyone for any occasion.

        Those are two of my favorites too!

        oh, I love Daisies too, I liked that line about Daisies being a friendly flower! Thank you for stopping by, Perrianne!!

      How wonderful to see Kimberly here on your blog! Just wanted to say hello. I have A Love Song for Kayla and enjoyed it so much! Don’t enter me in the drawing, but I’ll share that my favorite flower is a yellow rose. That’s true for several reasons (the daffodil runs a close second). My father nurtured his rose garden with tender loving care, and because of that, I always smile whenever I see a beautiful rose (of any color). Unfortunately, I didn’t inherit his green thumb. Blessings to you both!

        Thank you, JoAnn. It’s so nice of you stop take the time to comment. Roses are such a beautiful flower. My grandpa grew them and had quite the knack. I am not a good gardener and pretty much kill anything that grows indoors.

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 16, 2018 at 1:24 pm

        Hi, JoAnn!! Thank you so much for being here! I know what you mean, I have a black thumb myself! I love roses too, though!

        Wow, my father had rose garden too! I’m not the gardener 🙁 no time

        • AvatarJoAnn Durgin says

          Hi Natalya! I certainly understand the time factor, too (or lack of time, and I’m sure Kimberly and Paula do, as well). My husband, Jim, sang the familiar hymn “In The Garden” at my Dad’s funeral service. I know he would have loved it.

          • AvatarPaula Marie says

            August 17, 2018 at 10:54 am

            I bet that was beautiful, JoAnn! For me it’s not just a time factor, it is the black thumbs I have that kill all plants, LOL!

      I love lilacs and hollyhocks—flowers I can enjoy without having a green thumb!!

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 16, 2018 at 1:27 pm

        I grew up with a lilac tree under my window……..yes, Kimberly – LOVE the smell!! Unfortunately they do not do well in hot Florida! Thank you for dropping by, Jill! I thought you would go with your namesake flower, lol!!

    4. AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

      August 16, 2018 at 1:07 pm

      Mmm lilacs smell so good!

      I like Batchelor Buttons!

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 16, 2018 at 1:31 pm

        Okay, admit I needed to google them, but they are so pretty!! Must not be grown in Florida, I do not recall ever seeing them in person!

        Thank you for introducing me to them, Teresa!

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 16, 2018 at 4:04 pm

        I’m in the same boat as Paula. I needed to look them up too but then discovered I’ve actually had those in my yard. 🙂

        • AvatarPaula Marie says

          August 16, 2018 at 5:19 pm

          Whew, glad I wasn’t the only one, but how lucky you have them in your yard!

          I keep saying I am going to get wildflower seeds and cover the whole front yard so I don’t have to mess with grass anymore!

          • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

            August 16, 2018 at 6:15 pm

            I don’t have them anymore. They died. I’m not a good gardener.

            • AvatarPaula Marie says

              August 16, 2018 at 8:35 pm

              Sorry , same here!

      I like carnations because they last longer. But the yellow tulips on the cover are beautiful too 🙂

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 17, 2018 at 7:16 am

        I adore the look of carnations, Natalya, but they don’t smell all that nice, lol! You are so correct they last a long time!! Thank you for sharing with us today!

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 17, 2018 at 6:27 pm

        Carnations always smell so fresh. 🙂

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 17, 2018 at 6:26 pm

        Me too. We have a neighbor that grows them on the edge of their yard and I love to stop and smell them. 🙂

      Great review! Seems like an interesting book. My favorite flower is probably a tie between hydrangeas and the Passion flower. 😊

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 17, 2018 at 3:23 pm

        Thank you for sharing, Crystal! I love hydrangeas too!!

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 17, 2018 at 11:21 pm

        I love hydrangeas but our plant died.

      My favorite flower is a rose of course! Thank you!

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 17, 2018 at 6:27 pm

        Makes sense to me. 🙂

    10. AvatarPaula Marie says

      August 17, 2018 at 3:29 pm

      Well, ROSE, you really didn’t have much of choice, did you? hahaha! Thank you so much for stopping by, it is always such a pleasure to see you here!

      My favorite flower is buddleia it’s commonly just called “Butterfly Bush.” and lilacs.

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        August 18, 2018 at 9:36 am

        Well, I am learning so much! Thank you Tina, I needed to Google this flower as well, and they are beautiful! Lilacs are high on my list as a favorite too. My very favorite is gardenias though….oh their scent is wonderful!!

        Thanks for joining us, Tina!!

        I love buttery fly bushes and lilac bushes. I have one of each in my yard. 🙂

      Favorite flowers are daffodils. They push their heads up at the first sign of spring and add a spot of beauty to my yard.

      • AvatarKimberly Rose Johnson says

        August 19, 2018 at 12:51 pm

        Daffodils are so pretty! We used to have them all along our driveway when I was a kid.
