A Time to Bloom

BWWM Later in Life Wholesome Romance

By: Alexis Carr

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A Sweet Later-in-Life BWWM Romance

Lo Mason never thought she’d be a widow at fifty-four. For months she’s hidden behind casseroles, church services, and too many loaves of cornbread. But when her best friend drags her to a community garden project, Lo finds herself face-to-face with more than just weeds—she meets Tom Whitaker.

Tom isn’t looking for love. Divorced, estranged from his daughter, and too used to fixing things instead of feeling them, he figures his season has passed. But there’s something about Lo’s quiet strength—and the way she makes the whole community bloom—that makes him wonder if he gets a second chance too.

Can two people with scarred pasts risk opening their hearts again? Or will fear and grief keep them from discovering that love doesn’t fade with age—it flourishes when you least expect it?

Clean. Wholesome. Heartwarming. A Time to Bloom is a sweet later-in-life BWWM romance about second chances, small-town community, and finding joy in every season.

Sweet love story

I really enjoyed the mature love story. It was sweet, beautiful refreshing and symbolic. The virtual voice was fitting. A few parts that would have required some emotional inflection were mechanical but I know it's a robot. A human would read those parts better.
