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.
