I just checked out your book "Bloom of the Desert Rose" on Amazon, and wow, the story you've crafted is incredible!
The depth and emotion you've woven into Marie's story are captivating and make it a compelling read.

This book is ideally suited for readers who enjoy romantic dramas and tales of emotional journeys and self-discovery. Those who appreciate stories set in expansive, scenic backdrops like the Wyoming plains will find it particularly engaging. The themes of love, choice, and destiny resonate well with an audience that enjoys exploring complex characters and relationships.

A tale of strength, heartbreak, loss and love. All the good things a romance should give a reader. Written with attention to detail and lovely, descriptive narrative

This is an amazing book with great details that makes you feel like you are there. Can't wait for more books from her. It was an amazing to meet her in person.

AMAZING WORK!
I saw and met with the Author at the Southgate location in Edmonton. I bought a signed copy !! Hoe amazing ! Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down! Great work! I am excited to see what else you will be publishing!

I loved this book! It is such a beautiful and captivating story! This is a book that I couldn't put down. It was pulling at my heartstrings the whole time. I loved the build of the characters and where the story took them. I enjoyed Aftons writing style and the flow of her book. I highly recommend picking up this book, especially if you like a good romance novel

Sweet story and entertaining. It held my attention (I'm not a big romance story person), and a romance novel fan would love it. Love the imagery and descriptions. I could feel the loneliness and sadness of the different characters, the town, and the ranch. The only way the townspeople interacted with each other was through gossip without any personal connection.
It was predictable about the handsome stranger riding into town and showing Marie what love is really like. Romance readers like that. The ending was unexpected and satisfying, which I enjoyed.

I was so excited to write a review on this book. This was the first Afton Gabrielle I read & omg this made me excited to start reading again. For me this book was amazing! I loved the vibe of the book, I could picture it so clearly. I was obsessed with this book and read it again

My mom Loved it! I purchased this book as a gift for my mother and she was so pleased with it. She recommended my sisters and I read it as well. Months later she still mentions how much she enjoyed this novel. Worth the read if you or a loved one is into romance novels.

Great book, I look forward to more of your books! Hopefully soon!

The author gives a lot of attention to detail in The Bloom of the Desert Rose. You can truly picture every aspect in the scene while reading it. I am proud to support a local author and I enjoyed the story. It was different from a lot of novels I normally read, in a good way! I like the love story and the old timey setting.
I look forward to more novels from the author!

I'll be honest.. I haven't made time to step away from life and indulge in a good book. But after meeting the author I was truly inspired by her journey of writing, creating, passion and drive!! Bought it! Highly suggest reading it in a candle lit bubble bath!! Can't wait for the next one!

Bloom of the Desert Rose is a sweeping, immersive, sweet, and heartbreaking story.

It is set in a barren portion of Wyoming in the early twentieth century. We follow Marie's discovery of real but forbidden love, mirrored and reflected in the way she leaves behind the desert and finds herself blooming, ablaze, and hopelessly in love. The author's vivid descriptions of epic landscapes, emotions, and motives frame Marie's inner journey and her having to navigate the confines of life in a small frontier town.

I initially was attracted to the book because of the main character, Marie, and her Irish ancestry. And also by the fact that I love Wyoming and Colorado and have lived here in the West for quite some time. I found myself pulled in, hooked by the suspense, not knowing what lay around each next corner, each unexpected twist and turn. Don't want to give away any spoilers, but the ending sure had me in tears.
