Great book

Good book lots of interesting information about health

Another great book in the series.

This is best of the three books in this series. Thankfully, I have never experienced the situation Raylene had to endure. I was sure pulling for her all the way and couldn't put the book down to see what she was going to accomplish next in her journey. Loved the book.

PG-13 Romance - Raylene's Story

Raylene abusive husband is behind bars but she still can't leave the house. Raylene moved back to her home town of Serenity and reunity with her high school girlfriend and the Sweet Magnolis. Raylene meets the new sheriff deputy Carter and sparks fly. This book deals with a few mental health issues within the cute little Carolina town of Serenity. I enjoy Sherryl Wood novel's and here are few of my favorties; A Slice of Heaven (Sweet Magnolias), Home in Carolina and Stealing Home (The Sweet Magnolias).

Honeysuckle Summer

Read this book in one sitting. I thought it was pretty good. Would have liked to seen more of the relationship between Walter and Rory - But all in all, a fitting end to the series... or maybe not?

strong ending to a solid series

While her abusive spouse Dr. Paul Hammond remains in jail, Raylene still stays inside the house of her best friend Sara Price in Serenity, South Carolina. However, leaving the house is currently impossible as she still fears her ex husband will arrive to assault her. Currently she watches Sara's five year old son Tommy and two years old daughter Libby when she goes to get them cookies only the boy has run out of the backyard. Wracked by agoraphobia, Raylene calls the radio station where Sarah and her fiancé Travis work. New Sheriff's Deputy Carter Rollins brings Tommy home; the kid stepped out for ice cream. Carter thinks Raylene is a rich snob unwilling to get sweaty and dirty so refused to look for the child. He raises his two sisters Carrie and Mandy. On the other hand heeding the advice of his siblings to get a girlfriend, he begins to visit Raylene. When he learns the truth about her, he feels remorse for jumping top conclusions and joy because he knows he is attracted to her. However, though he is the first male she admires as a hunk, Raylene knows she is not good enough for him or his sisters as her phobia rules her life. The seventh and final Sweet Magnolias tale is a strong ending to a solid series. The story line focuses on the romance of an agoraphobia sufferer, which makes for a powerful contemporary. With the stars of the previous book returning, Sweet Tea at Sunrise, fans will enjoy this fun yet poignant romance as her two BFFs and his two sisters (and readers) insist the lead couple is a pair of idiots.
