Even in a quirky small town like Charmed, Texas, there’s always room for love to take you by surprise . . .
Gabi Graham might have hit the proverbial rock in rock-bottom. Hitting the single scene after ten years is hard enough. Finding out that her cheating ex-husband and his new barely-legal fiancée are expecting—that’s enough to drive Gabi over the edge and into a neighboring town’s divorce support group. It’s not really her thing to listen to anonymous strangers bash their exes, but at least there are cookies. And a sexy fellow newcomer who ignites her long-dormant libido. Spending a few lustful, post-meeting moments in Hot Guy’s truck can’t hurt. Unless, of course, Hot Guy turns out to be Thatcher Roman—her best friend’s brother and Gabi’s silent business partner.
Thatcher had no idea that the wildflower farm owner he’s been doing business with over email is the nameless woman who’s barreled into his life and his fantasies. He and Gabi have a new venture to run, a sister and best friend in the middle, and enough sparks between them to light up the entire town of Charmed. Given her past, it’s no wonder smart, gorgeous Gabi has trust issues. But maybe what they’ve found is more than just coincidence and chemistry. It might even be the beginning of one sweet, amazing second chance . . .
I absolutely love Sharla Lovelace and the Charmed in Texas series—all of the couples who return in each subsequent book feeling like family. I believe that this is the last book in the series and honestly it’s hard to let these characters go 🙁
There has always been an underlying sense of magic within this series starting with Aunt Ruby in a Charmed Little Lie and you see it in this one too.
Gabi Graham meets “Hot Guy” Thatcher Roman in a divorcee support group. She has since left her cheating husband and is trying to come to terms with her life and what comes next. With a series of mishaps, the one thing she has to look forward to is seeing “Hot Guy” and thinking about the possibility of a one-night stand.
But it all comes to a stop when she realizes who he is (the brother of her best friend!) and how they are connected in business—should they really be muddying this up for something fun and physical and not serious?
But is it serious… is there more? HECK YEAH! Gabi is just too mistrustful to see it, but it’s as clear as day. I understood her trust issues but Thatcher… OH THATCHER! He tried to show and say a million times over that it wasn’t just one night with him and that there was more, and that part of the story made me want to hit Gabi in the head for her to see what was in front of her because it was frustrating at times with the back and forth (though I again I understood her side because of everything she has been through).
So will they or won’t they? That is the question. I enjoyed the slow burn… I loved the heat and spark… I simply love this town and the magic surrounding it. There were sad parts but also excitement for the possibilities that were given to all the characters in this series that I have grown so fond of.
If this is the end (which it really did come full circle for these characters), then I am very much looking forward to what this author has in store for us next.
Readers who love small-town romance, who love that element of magic, who love fun, quirky characters and well written stories will love this series!
