The Road to Lilyfields



A gripping contemporary romance of love against the odds.

A gripping contemporary romance of love against the odds.

A fresh start in the country is just what Rosa needs. But love has a habit of taking hold in unexpected places.

All Rosa wants is to trade her fast-paced city life for a simpler country existence. A run-down cottage in need of some TLC seems the perfect place to recover from a bruising break-up and to reconnect with her country roots. But when Rosa falls for Jack, the only other full-time resident in the bay, the simple life she craves seems in danger of slipping away.

Just when she is learning to trust again, Jack’s mixed messages leave Rosa bewildered and confused. Desperate to understand why he remains so distant, Rosa seems to push him only further away. Will her obsession with Jack’s past ruin any chance of being with him? And what is the mystery that binds him to the Hatherley sisters?

Praise for The Road to Lilyfields

There are shades of Monica McInerney, or even Joanna Trollope here. The plot builds nicely, if a little predictably at times, and Bloom’s descriptive writing paints a vivid picture of the landscape in all weathers. The characters are all well drawn . . .

Lynda Stallworthy, Northern Advocate

For those who love a good romance this book is an entertaining weekend read. The tour of the attractions of Banks Peninsular is a well researched bonus.

What I really like about this book is that it's contemporary and set in New Zealand. New Zealand readers generally get books set in foreign countries or New Zealand based books set in the past so hats off to Bantam and Penguin Random House New Zealand for giving NZers books that they can really relate to location and language wise. Bloom is a talented writer who can wonderfully create a landscape and area which you feel you've visited or that you're there. It has the right amount of detail to make it vibrantly real but not too much you're bored by it.
