Southern Secrets by Natasha Madison (Southern #7)

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everyone deserves to be loved! Southern Secrets is a story of overcoming your past, while learning to rely on others and open your heart.

Amelia has been hurt by an ex and refuses to open her heart to pain again, but the chemistry between her and a certain new ranch hand is enough to make them combust.

Asher knows what it's like to grow up with nothing, so when a fire causes everything he owns to go up in flames, he's forced to rely on the generosity of others.

This was a bit slow-paced, but worth the wait while the story unfolds. I loved the element of suspense behind the scenes and the fiercely protective family members. Another wonderful addition to the Southern series and I can't wait for more!

SUMMARY:

Amelia

Never make the same mistake twice is my motto. After being left in the dust of an old pickup truck, I promised that I would take care of myself and never trust another man with a sexy smirk and cowboy boots.

Then he showed up, and he's everywhere I turn. He's at the barn, he's at the bar, and now, he's my roommate. He makes me want things I shouldn't.

Asher

I grew up in foster care, and on my eighteenth birthday, I was set free. I spent years coasting from town to town. Staying wasn't a part of my plan and neither was love, especially with someone off limits.

This was all supposed to be temporary. I'm just hoping my secret doesn't destroy the only family I've ever known.

Buried secrets are never buried for long.

Can't Help Falling in Love by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #5)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This book is on fire! Can't Help Falling in Love has plenty of swoon-worthy moments, tug at your heart scenes with a certain little boy, and plenty of romance to make your heart melt.

Prepare yourself to dive into Hunter and Violet's story - one where they definitely come from opposite sides of life. Hunter wants to put down roots and provide a stable life for his son, while Violet loves to travel the world and see new things.

I always love revisiting the citizens of Magnolia Sound! This definitely starts out as a slow burn romance, but there's more behind each of their stories than meets the eye. I jumped in with both feet and loved the ride. The true star of this book is Hunter's son Eli, he's a little ladies man in the making!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Hunter Jones never thought that shared custody would be part of his life, but it's the only way to make sure his son still has both parents in his life. But when his ex's increasing unpredictability leads to a missed day care pick up, he's not so sure shared custody is the best option anymore. Never mind that he's now the one being accused of bad parenting by a total stranger.

Violet Drake has zero patience for poor parenting. There's nothing that angers her more than seeing parents behave in the same irresponsible way her own parents did throughout her childhood. But after going off on a perfect stranger late to pick up his son, her conscience gets the best of her and she realizes she may have been a little harsh.

Violet is only supposed to be in Magnolia Sound for a short time to help out her best friend, so getting involved with a single dad is the absolute last thing she should be doing.

Their timing is all kinds of wrong, but sometimes you just can't help yourself.
