Think Romeo and Juliet and the family feus. Bring it forward to Somervillle, Ma. and it is an updated version. I enjoyed the book. Very light and proves there is still love and passion after 60

Modern parallel of Shakespeare story, set with older Romeo and Juliet. Charming and well-written summer read.

Romantic comedy about two florists from feuding families who find each other in their middle years when they have both lost their mates. The problems they face are mostly caused by their own grown up children and make for lots of funny and touching moments.

Well-written women's fiction about an older couple falling in love, despite their family feud and their children's prejudices.

Very good book. It gives you hope that if you are patient you might find the one you truly love. At any age love might become part of your life.

Meet the Cacciamanis and the Rosemans, rival florists and bitter enemies for as long as either family can remember (although no one can recall precisely why) until one fateful day when divorced Julie Roseman and widowed Romeo Cacciamani meet by chance at a small business seminar in the Boston Sheraton. More than flowers bloom as a result and when their respective families--horrified--find out about the budding romance, all hell breaks loose.

I enjoyed this take on Romeo and Juliet, though there were a few over the top moments. It raises good questions about why to continue a feud whose origin has been long forgotten without hitting you over the head with a moral. This was not my favorite Jeanne Ray novel, but encourages me to read more of her work.

COTTON CANDY
Here's your beach read - nothing to tax your sun-drenched brain. If you liked Moonstruck the movie, you'll enjoy this.

"Julie Roseman has known since childhood that Rosemans are supposed to loathe, despise, and distrust Caccianmanis. She's never known exactly WHY, but she's followed her family's advice and avoided the Cacciamanis like the plague. Now she's bumped into Romeo Cacciamani at a small-business conference. They're both running the florist shops outside Boston that have been in their failies for years--and struggling to keep them afloat. They're both single, since Romeolost his wife and Julie's husband her for a scheming little 38 year old. Actually, the dreaded Romeo Caccianami seems sort of...sweet. Now this unexpected relationship is blooming into something big. Julie and Romeo think it's love. But when their families find out, it's war..." First book in a two-book series, the second book being JULIE AND ROMEO GET LUCKY.
