Another 5-star romance for Alys Murray!
If you are looking for a quick, easy, feel-good read, something along the lines of a Hallmark movie, this is for you! Hillsboro County, Northern California is the home to the Anderson family flower farm. When an arrogant and wealthy L.A. tech mogul arrives in town and makes an offer to use the farm as his sister’s wedding venue, sparks fly and the indignant Magnolia sisters refuse to be controlled by rich people who think they can buy their way into anything. Not the smartest move … the family is struggling and this would certainly dig them out of the hole they are in financially. Can they put their stubborn independence behind them and come to an agreement that keeps both parties happy?
What I liked:
Clean, wholesome romance
Set on a flower farm
Jane Austen inspired
Small town
Family dynamics
Vivid imagery
Dual point of view
Enemy love interest
fantastic cover
Author Alys Murray explores the concept of duty; the Magnolia sisters’ duty to their family and their business as well as a brother’s duty in looking out for his sister. You’ll have to read to discover if, with both Luke and Harper putting family first, they can find a way to bridge the gap or soften each other’s hearts.
If you like cats, this features a sassy orange cat, Bermondsey. If you’re more of a dog lover, you’ll love the Maremma Sheepdog, Stella.
I’ve previously read and loved ‘Small Town Secrets’ and with two of this author’s great books read, I’m eagerly anticipating book 2 in the series, Sweet Pea Summer.
I was gifted this book by Alys Murray, Forever Publishing, Grand Central Publishing, and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
I read and loved The Perfect Hideaway in 2020 and absolutely loved it!
Now I just need book 2 and 4 in the Full Bloom Farm Series Home at Summers Inn and Sweet Pea Summer and I will have completed the set.
THE MAGNOLIA SISTERS by Alys Murray was better than I originally anticipated.
The book was so well written, I feel in love with this town and these characters.
I don’t want to do anything but read the entire set!
This really was a lovely book built around a solid group of characters and I loved it.
The book was just the breath of fresh air that I needed.
The writing WA absolutely amazing, once I opened this book up I didn't stop.
A mall town romance, lovely characters and amazing writing this book hit the spot for me.
Publisher, can you please release the others on NG!
Forever,

I will post my review closer to pub date.
