Happy Friday! I am so excited to feature Stealing Magnolias, a contemporary romance by Leslie Kirby DeVooght. Set in the Georgia Low Country (yippee!), this is the first book in the Magnolia Bluff series. My review is coming in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, here’s the first line:
My hairstyling abilities might not get me a job at Trudy’s Hair Salon or a place in the hairdo hall of fame, but I’d watched Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias enough that my big Southern hair attempt just might do the country icon proud.
When Wren Frazier heads south to honor her grandmother’s final wish, she finds five unexpected challenges, one grumpy (but handsome) neighbor, and maybe—herself.
Although an artist, Wren packed away her brushes and paints and sought a practical career as an interior designer in Chicago. She’s always put herself last, happy to please everyone around her. But with a team of dedicated co-workers and a small town of quirky characters supporting her, she’s forced to give herself a little attention. As her artistic heart starts to awaken, Wren finds herself rediscovering the joy of creation and living authentically.
But while she’s exploring the enchanting Georgia Low Country, creating beautiful paintings, and taking a chance on love, she uncovers a secret that shakes the foundation of her newfound happiness. With the revelation threatening to ruin the delicate balance Wren has only begun to realize, will she give up her fairytale and return to her reality?
Book 1 in the Magnolia Bluff series. Love is always blooming at Magnolia Bluff!
