REVIEW
I have been reading The Girl Once Known series by R M Demeester from the very beginning. I had wondered if Lotus would get her own story…and, I’m happy to say the answer is yes. I knew it would be interesting an interesting story, because Lotus is an interesting character.
Lotus Oliver, more or less, raised herself. Her mother was lost to drugs and it created an inability to trust others in Lotus. She and Joseph Oliver are in love. When she turns up pregnant, all her insecurities rise to the forefront. Joseph wants to marry her, telling her he will support her and the baby, he will not desert her…BUT, he’s a bit of a mama’s boy…and mama is one nosy bitch to Lotus.
R M Demeester sure knows how to break a girl’s heart. I love a book that makes me grip my ereader so tightly that my knuckles turn white, that leaves me teary eyed, empathizing with the characters.
My thanks go out to R M Demeester for the opportunity to read The Flower Once Wilted.
GOODREADS BLURB
Lotus Oliver learned early that survival meant pretending.
Lie when you’re scared. Smile when you’re cornered. Trust no one. Never let your guard down. Because wanting something only ever meant one thing: losing it.
Then she met Joseph “Jo” Oliver. He didn’t just see her. He unraveled her, layer by layer, until there was nothing left to hide. And somehow, she gave him everything: her fire, her fight, her heart. A marriage. A family.
But the voice inside her never went quiet. It kept whispering that she wasn’t safe. That it could all slip away.
And maybe, just maybe, it was right. The question is: will Lotus be able to stop it?
