The fifth book in the Magnolia Fall series does not disappoint. You don’t learn much about Hayes in the previous four books, he’s there but only as the grumpy friend and brother. Hayes comes off as grumpy but the truth comes out in the book about why he seems that way. Savanna left town in a hurry and left behind her best friend with a bitter taste in her mouth. Read through their lives, their story, friends, to not friends, to lusting after each other, to love. After reading this fifth book in the series I think my two favorite guys are Hayes and Kingston. A total HEA on this book…swoon worthy. Make sure and read the extra bonus, you will not be disappointed. I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am alone in the house, with the exception of the pups and kitties, but it’s just me
so
I am alone
And some days I am lonely
Those are the days that I miss him more than on others
We were both very independent people, our own interest, our own way of doing things
but we were also dependent on each other
for
love, laughter and to keep the lonely away
So I will walk the path in front of me…a little lonely (or a lot) but I will walk that path forward looking for a way to be less alone or less lonely…keeping our memories close to my heart
For Henley it was love at first sight, for Tru she liked what she saw but after the misunderstanding in her classroom there was no way she’d have anything to do with him. Henley was persistant and it was fun to watch their relationship bloom over text messages. Add in three daughters for Henley and a kitten for Tru…let’s not forget about the other players on Henley’s team and an ex-wife, family drama for Tru. The book has some steam, lots of love and toss in some drama and the best part…an HEA. The second book in The Single Dad Playbook Series.
