In My Opinion

Where the Last Rose Blooms is the third and final book in Ashley Clark’s Heirloom Secret series. Like the previous two book, this one has a dual timeline with the modern-day and Civil War-era storylines connecting throughout.

The book really takes off once Alice and Clara’s stories connect. Both women have faced and are facing obstacles—some which are daunting and don’t seem to have away around, over or under. The language of flowers is used throughout the book, adding an interesting detail.

The ending of the book was a little underwhelming for me. Clara’s story didn’t really have one. It just tapered off and we’re left guessing/assuming what happens, and the entire ending was very rushed. But overall, this was an enjoyable ending to the series.
