Swan Point (The Sweet Magnolias – 11) by Sherryl Woods
4 stars
(Excerpt from Goodreads) Determined to build a new life for her family after her divorce, Adelia Hernandez has bought a home in the historic Swan Point neighborhood of Serenity. Promoted to manager of Main Street’s most fashionable boutique, she feels revitalized and ready for a fresh start as a single mom. But barely into this new independent phase, she crosses paths with the sexiest man to hit Serenity in years.
Gabe Franklin, back in town to make amends for past mistakes, has no intention of settling down, but Adelia’s proving irresistible. Cheered on by their friends, “the Sweet Magnolias,” Gabe is bringing long-absent passion and laughter into Adelia’s life. To his surprise—and hers—sometimes a rolling stone is just what it takes to build the rock-solid foundation of a family.
Adelia has moved back to Swan Point to start over with her four kids after her divorce is finalized. After the abuse of her ex, she has no self confidence and is surprised to get a job so quickly and to be welcomed back into the Sweet Magnolia gang.
At the same time Gabe has decided to grow up and return to Swan Point. He is hired by his cousin for construction and meets Adelia while renovating her house. He has eyes for her but he doesn’t know if he really wants all the baggage of his past, her past, and her four children that are wary of him.
This is a sweet little story that would make a great vacation/beach read. I liked how Adelia is starting over after the whole headache prior to the divorce. I loved seeing how she could grow past all the grief from her ex. The same goes for Gabe, he is so hard on himself that he doesn’t really see how far he has come from being the bad boy.
This is a great story that I think anyone will like.
I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
