About:
An epic love story one hundred years in the making…
Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.
Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.
Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
My Thoughts
It has been a minute since I enjoyed a good romance novel. Tia did her thing with this book. In the story we meet Ricki Wilde. Ricki belongs to a prominent family but unlike her father and her older sisters, she always fall short of the high expectations.
Ricki is intent on finding her own way in life and due to a chance encounter with a woman by the name of Della, Ricki is getting an opportunity to open a flowershop in Harlem. Harlem is a magical city, and Ricki soon finds out when she meets Ezra. He is handsome, mysterious and he has a secret that could be DEADLY.
This romance was magical and unique. The story was unlike what I would have expected and for me this made for a rich reading experience. A MUST read.
