I liked this sweet story of second chance romance.
However; I didn't like our heroines name as it didn't seem to fit her in my opinion.
Even despite her name I still liked her. Everyone has trust issues.
I liked Jason from the get go. He knew what he wanted and went after it including Gabby.
I loved those two. They were quite well rounded out.
I enjoyed reading and watching their journey through life and becoming the people I knew they could be.
The writing was superb. It flowed nice and smooth and drew me into the story immediately.
I couldn't put the book down it was so good!
These characters grabbed my heart from the beginning and didn't let go. Still haven't let go lol.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
5 stars for a well written story. I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I really couldn’t stand the MMC 😭 He was so arrogant and made so many comments that gave me the ick. I liked the plot and the FMC was fun to read, but I just couldn’t handle him.

This book was just absolutely darling!! I could not have fallen more in love with the main character. And her story just melted me. Highly recommend.

I liked the story but not the female lead. Gabby made it difficult to get thru. I was so annoyed with her I just wanted it to be over. Felt bad for Jason having to deal with her.

The Southern Charmer by Janice Maynard is the next installment in her Blossom Branch series and my first book in the series.

Gabby Nolan knows that she shouldn't like Jason Brightman, the man who left her best friend at the altar, but that crush that SHE had on him in college, but when she runs into him a year and a half after the almost wedding, she discovers that she still has those feelings and that he's a changed man from who he was before.

Jason has worked hard to change who he was before and he actually has feelings for Gabby.

They have to overcome the past and embrace who they are now to find a relationship with each other and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride as they do this. It's a sweet book that made me want more! I'm going back to read the first in this series immediately.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Finally, book three of the Blossom series! I’ve been waiting since I put the second one down. The Southern Charmer did not disappoint!

Gabby’s internal struggle and their undeniable chemistry create a romance that’s both emotional and enchanting. The way they navigate their past and present while building a future together had me completely spellbound. This book is a perfect blend of passion, emotions, sensitivity and romance, I couldn’t get enough!

The romance is swoon-worthy, filled with witty banter, emotional depth, and just the right amount of tension. It’s the kind of story that makes you believe in second chances and the power of personal growth. If you love a good redemption arc with a side of steamy romance, this book is an absolute must-read.
