Can a stack of long-hidden love letters from a WWII war hero inspire a heartbroken woman to love again?

Reeling from a bitter divorce, Adrienne Carter abandons Chicago and retreats to the sun, sand, and beauty of Southern Florida, throwing herself into the restoration of a dilapidated old Victorian beach house. Early into the renovations, she discovers a tin box hidden away in the attic that reveals the emotional letters from a WWII paratrooper to a young woman who lived in the house more than a half-century earlier.

The old letters - incredibly poetic and romantic - transcend time, and they arouse in Adrienne a curiosity that leads her to track down the writer of the letters. William "Pops" Bryant is now an old man living in a nearby town with his handsome but overprotective grandson, Will. As Adrienne begins to unravel the secrets of the letters (and the Bryants), she finds herself not yet willing to give up entirely on love.

Beaulutiful love story. It's like two love stories in one. William upset me a few times but he was a good man with good intentions.

Beautiful story

An excellent story of love, life's wisdom and growth. I loved it. It is so true - we assume they do not want to talk about the war. I guess I will never know now.

One Lavender Ribbon is the story of Adrienne, a 28 year old divorcee from a cardiologist, who takes her divorce settlement and buys a fixer upper on the water in Florida. She encounters a bundle of WWII era love letters in the attic, and she becomes obsessed with unraveling the age old romance.

She meets Pops, writer of the letters, and his handsome grandson, Will, and they quickly develop a friendship as she adds some excitement to their monotonous lives. Adrienne wants nothing more than to reunite Will with a lost love. Readers will quickly see that she is repairing the hole in Pop's heart as a panacea for healing the hole in her own. Then Adrienne and Will become attracted to each other, and the book suddenly has two potential romances unfolding.

I liked the prose. It was smooth, polished, and easy going. This is the kind of book you take to the beach. The language was fairly clean, and the book had it's sensual moments, too, but was clean. There were no graphic sexual details. However, I didn't think Adrienne and Will were romance material. She was picture perfect and annoyed me a little by being too nosy about other people's private matters. Will was handsome and charming, but his constant anger, mistakes, and brooding coupled with his constant lame apologies fell flat. The reader never really finds out what his "issues" truly are...oh, near the end he elaborates how it hurt him that his charity loving parents hurt him by going to Africa his senior year, but I think something more had to be wrong for him to be such a stick in the mud control freak. There's no doubting he and Adrienne had chemistry and there is a HEA.

Aside from a few minor issues, I'm giving the book four stars because it was a smooth, enjoyable read. I think this author shows promise, and I will definitely consider future books.

Emily Sutton-Smith was outstanding with the delivery of the story
