ABOUT THE BOOK:
I never imagined I’d be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when he’s a famous football player, and I’m just a therapist they can easily replace.
The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friend…even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Dean’s helping me fix my grandma’s old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation.
Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like he’s sparked life into me.
My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans.
But sometimes challenges lead us back to where we’re meant to be.

Rugged Southern Charmer by Fabiola Francisco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rae Lynn and Dean were best friends growing up. Over the years they’ve lost contact because life happened but Rae Lynn is back home and when they reconnect, they begin going down memory lane. But spending time as adults makes them see that their bond is special and with a little push of their 3 best friend (Matty), they get a chance to explore if their friendly feelings could turn into more.
What neither expected just how strong they would feel once they’ve fallen in each other’s arms. But Rae Lynn did not return home to stay and it’s up to Dean to show her just how special their home town and he is.
This story was read in one sitting and left me with a huge smile on my face. It’s been a minute since I’ve read a story that felt right from start to finish. I can’t wait to see the next installment in the series create another HEA.
