Publisher's Summary

Kaylie Snow has always been the fun, flirty, pretty sister. Now her burgeoning baby bump, hormone-infused emotions, and faltering singing career are sending her into an unexpected identity crisis. Watching her older sister, Danica, glide through a major career change and a new relationship with the grace of a ballerina, Kaylie's insecurities rise to the forefront - and her relationship with fiancé Chaz Crew is caught in the crossfire.

Chaz Crew has everything he's ever wanted: a lovely fiancée, a baby on the way, and soon the film festival he owns will host its biggest event ever. When he's called away to woo the festival's largest sponsor - and the lover he's never admitted to having - secrets from his past turn his new life upside down.

With her baby shower around the corner and her fiancé's big event looming, the pressure is on for Kaylie to pull herself together - and for Chaz to right his wrongs. In a few short weeks, the couple who had it all figured out will learn things about life and love that may change their minds - and their hearts.

Sisters in Bloom is part of the Love in Bloom series. While Sisters in Bloom can be listened to as a standalone novel, for even more listening enjoyment you may want to listen to the entire Love in Bloom series in order.

AudioBook Review:
Stars: Overall 4 Naration 4 Story 4

Fast forward a bit, and we have Kylie’s story as she navigates through pregnancy hormones, a slowdown in her own career and a bit of a rough patch with her fiancé, Chaz. Not a particularly introspective character, all of these changes have Kylie worried about EVERYTHING, and the doubts are creeping in.

Chaz has a big film festival coming up, and he thinks his life is going along beautifully. Nothing is better than his fiancée and new baby on the way, and this film could mean big things for them all. But the one regret in his life has suddenly reappeared, and the existence of this woman isn’t something he ever shared with her.

Now with Kylie at a low point, a past fling that won’t stay that way and the stress and nerves around the film festival and things are just heating up.

Foster uses a combination of character development, communication and fears that are very real, if sometimes groundless, to build the story and give it teeth. Chaz is a wonderful and steady influence for Kylie, and while their love is obvious they both cling to insecurities and issues from their pasts. Insets from Danica (Kylie’s sister) and her relationship trials in her own life, and the visit from her mother all play to the issues both of the sisters have in their own lives. Issues that their mother’s influence (and some actual common sense) allow them to move forward in their own lives, allowing the past to settle.

Narration is provided by B.J. Harrison, and as I thought with the first in this series, a clever choice of narrator. There is a bit more angst and tension in this story, and Harrison’s ability to present the emotional overtones in the story without overreach or overacting. While character voices are distinct, they do not tip over the line to caricature or overly emoted, and the story is richer for that.

A great installment in the Snow Sisters series, I’m curious to get to the weddings..

I received an audiobook copy of the title from the publisher for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions and expectations are my own responsibility.

Love these sisters

This is book 2 and I do have to say it is even better then book if that is possible. Kaylie and Chaz are an amazing couple, they will make you laugh and cry and in the end you will route for them to have a happy ever after. Danica and Blake also make this book perfection I love the advice they both give to the new couple.

A fun ride

Note to readers/listeners this story makes so much more sense if you have read book one Sisters in Love. Kaylie is a diva.....who is having a baby with Chaz. Her sister Danica and her fella Blake from book one makes a heavy presence in this story. This story has many feels and not all are the fuzzy kind. I love how Melissa Foster makes her stories so realistic. We all have our doubts, drama and joys. The narrator is a calm voice. And makes listening enjoyable. I can’t wait for the next book!

Fun and frustrations

The story continues for Kaylie and Chas and for Danica and Blake. It's about seven months since the end of book 1 and we find Kaylie restless and frustrated. While Danica is overwhelmed and thriving.

It was fun to watch Chas explain to Kaylie about his misadventures with his big sponsor who is now holding out on him and threatening to buy out one of his partners. But he did fess up. And she came back at them but through Kaylie this time. Are her intentions pure or misguided? This woman is a nuisance. Will Chas be able to outmaneuver her and end her machinations for good?

I can't wait to see how Kaylie handles motherhood and becoming a wife. Danica and Blake are true and steady and I don't see too many issues for them with getting married. But Kaylie is a drama queen and I foresee upheaval on her wedding day. I hope Chas can handle her.

BJ Harrison does another fine job of narrating this story. He portrays Kaylie to a tee and he balances her outlandish behavior with Danica's calm. Here's to more fun with Kaylie, Danica and their portrayer.

Snow Sisters at it again!

This is the second installment of the Snow Sisters by Ms. Foster and picks up right where we left off in Sisters in Love.

Follow along as you read about the strength that Kaylie shows as she progresses through her pregnancy, Danica learns to never underestimate her sister. This novel also tackles the difficult relationship between a mother and a daughter and at the end see the bond that exists only between a mother and a child and transcends all issues. Danica and Blake have some issues they have to address and it provides an opportunity for headstrong Danica to learn from her sister and those around her.

I absolutely LOVED the reading by Mr. Harrison and cannot wait for the next installment of the Snow Sisters!

big step up from bk 1

There was much growth and maturity to the characters from the first installment to this series. I fell in love a bit more with two of the four main characters and then I began to understand one chacter a bit more and the fourth was almost a new face. There was a deeper dive into emotional drama and a few other things that raised the bar for thg is addition to the series.

Cute Story!

This is the second book in the Snow Sisters Series. I loved this story. Kaylie and Chaz are great together and I loved to follow them in their journey. This is a sweet, fun and emotional story. I love the ending. I also loved to see Danica and Blake from the first book. You can read this book as a standalone, but because of the characters intertwined, you'll better appreciate your listening if you read the first book in the Series before. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Snow sisters work through engagement and job issues

This is book 2 of the Snow sisters romances. The story revolves around their growth and emotional development. There is also a fair amount about Danika becoming more sensitive to Blake’s feelings and Chaz and Kealy learning to communicate. Very much moving the series along with the introduction of new characters. All characters had a way to go in growth. This is a complicated romance and good choice for the Romance Package. The narration was ok but could be improved.

I love these Sisters!

Sisters in Bloom (Story Sisters #2) focuses on Kaylie, but there is so much more to this book. I loved all the scenes where we catch up with Danica and many other characters. Even though it can definitely be read as a standalone (as can all of the books by this author that I’ve read so far) these Snow Sisters stories read more like a connected series.

I love that with the overlap of storylines in this series we really get to watch so much growth with these characters. I love listening to these books on audiobook. The narrator adds another level of enjoyment to my reading experience and makes my long commute seem like nothing!
-4.5 Stars!-

Another good listen

This is the second book in the Snow sisters series. It mainly focuses on Kaylie and Chas's relationship as they approach parenthood. In between the story is the growing relationship between Danica and Blake as they head towards living together. Add in the side characters of Gage and Sally it makes for a great listen. Sometimes Kaylie comes across as a whining teenager, but as you get further into the book you realise she lets her past control her future. BJ Harrison is a great narrator.

The second Snow sister

This is a standalone book but follows on from Danicas story. It explores lots of emotions and Kaylie is just as flawed as the rest of us. The same can be said of her other half Chas. Definitely one to listen to.
