Larkspur Dreams Larkspur is everything bright and sunny—an illustrator, an artist, a lover of pet ducks and parrots, prone to spontaneity. Everett is everything staid and steady—an accountant, always in a suit, never given to impulse. He has learned the hard way what disasters could follow carefree decisions, and moving in next to the queen of impulse only seems to verify all his conclusions. But still, there’s something about Lark. . . Lark wants nothing less than to see her handsome new neighbor disappear into his shell. There’s something about the man that makes her go out on a limb to try to draw him out with her—to get him to dance in the snow or at least put down his Palm Pilot for five minutes. And it seems like they have a connection. In spite of a bumbling start and contradictory personalities, they enjoy spending time together. Even if she does manage to jeopardize his job and drive another wedge between him and his brother, all within a week of meeting. Larkspur Dreams is pure delight. It’s a short read—I finished it easily in an evening—and one that offers some whimsy along with the love story. I was as enchanted with the heroine as the hero was and found myself smiling frequently at Lark’s outlook. There are definitely bumps thrown in every which way, but everything is resolved quickly and handily, leaving Lark and Everett with hearts surprising in tune—his soaring classical music and her electric guitar mesh well, actually. Heartsong readers will appreciate this light and bright installment, and lovers of inspirational romance in general will enjoy the love story painted as colorfully and prettily as Lark’s watercolors. There is, of course, some sobriety in the story as Everett deals with forgiving and moving past the loss of his parents and sister, but nothing—not even grief—can long withstand Lark’s smile. Larkspur Dreams is an enchanting way to pass a couple hours. Publisher: Heartsong Presents |
