Magnolia has been through hell and back with relationships. She's misread signs, kissing her colleague and almost ruining her career, she's been with jerks, one who even kidnapped her do, and she's done.

Magnolia is finally feeling secure in her self, her booming gardening business, her friends. She is enough.

So when her mother challenges her to wade back into the 21st century dating scene, Magnolia only agrees because she knows she is finally ready and able to try and to not compromise. She's also not optimistic but it is easier to agree to her mother's wishes.

What Magnolia, the woman who is the friend, the woman who's never chosen first, isn't expecting is to find not one, but two men who start making her believe that maybe fate does indeed have a happily ever after in store for her, but now she can't decide which future she wants.

That's all I'm going to say about the plot, because you can meet Magnolia's suitors as I did, in the story! There is a happily ever after, but Magnolia does indeed have two men vying for her so if that is not to your taste, try one of the Walsh books.

I started reading Kate Canterbary's Walsh series late last year and have devoured every single book featuring one of my favorite contemporary romance families. I met Magnolia in the Walsh series and for a character who an author could have turned into a one-note villain, Magnolia is so much more.

Wild applause to Canterbary's craft at taking a secondary character woven throughout a beloved series and giving that secondary character the chance to take flight. You can certainly read Magnolia without first having read the Walsh series, but please do read those after you are done!

I received a free copy in exchange for a fair review! Thank you Kate Canterbary!
