The Resurrection of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer Book Review
What can I say, I’m a sucker for a happy ending and this second book in Micalea Smeltzer’s Wildflower Duet, The Resurrection of Wildflowers, gives us just that. This was a swoon-worthy wrap-up to Thayer and Salem’s story and a good second chance romance book. I’m personally a fan of the time-jump/reunite trope. I mean you’re essentially getting the slow burn twice! How can you not enjoy that??
Anywho, while I enjoyed the ending, there is one blaring beacon of pure annoyance in this book. Salem hides their daughter from Thayer for five whole freaking years. This pissed me off. Yes, Thayer was in a bad place at the end of the first book but that doesn’t justify hiding a full-blown human being from someone. Ugh, I wouldn’t be able to forgive that one.
Also, what happened to Thayer and his rugged, grumpy self?? I feel like this whole book was of him groveling and professing his love for Salem over and over and over again. I missed his personality from the first book. Gimmie a little bit of grumpy Thayer!
Has there been any talks about Caleb getting his own book? I need to research this. Caleb is a good guy and he deserves all the love in the world. I would pick that book up in a heartbeat!
While this duology wasn’t my favorite, it’s decent. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably throw your kindle across the room, but overall, you’ll enjoy the story.

The Resurrection of Wildflowers Blurb
It took me a while to learn that sometimes no matter how much, or how hard you love someone, or something, you have to let them go. You can’t save a sinking ship.
Sometimes, you have someone else you have to be strong for, who needs you more.
You make a choice.
A devastating one.
And you hope, maybe one day, they’ll come back to you.
