Book Review: On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter

-
     
     First things first, I am an avid reader. Like borderline obsessed with books! I even have my own mini library. Most of that library consists of Christian Fiction/ Christian Romance. I am also an incredibly fast reader, which means I go through a lot of books in a calendar year. So I am always looking for a new book series. While I was researching "new to me" authors a few years ago, I stumbled upon Denise Hunter. She quickly became one of my favorite authors because her books are really romantic and her plots lines are unique and fun!


     On Facebook, Denise had posted that they were looking for people to read and review her upcoming book, "On Magnolia Lane."  So I entered and when I got the book in the mail I was literally jumping all over the house. It felt like Christmas morning. (Thank you, Denise. I feel honored to have been chosen!) So here is my review of "On Magnolia Lane."


    This is book number three of  "A Blue Ridge Romance" series. Although it is helpful to read the previous two books, it is not necessary. The story is set in small town USA where Pastor Jack McReady is in love with the local flower shop owner, Daisy. Daisy is oblivious to the fact that her pastor has fallen in love with her in "one-hour increments" through her counseling sessions with him. So in an attempt to get her attention, Jacks friends set up an online dating profile for him.  Daisy is also on the exact same dating site and they begin to form a connection through their messages. There is a major issue though, on the dating profile Jacks friends chose inconspicuous photos of him and used his initials, T. J. Daisy has no idea it is actually her Pastor, Jack!

     Just when things are looking up for her, an unlikely visitor shakes up Daisy's whole life. She turns to Jack for comfort and she starts seeing him as more than just her pastor. She also confides in T.J. and realizes that she is falling for him as well. Conflicted in her growing feelings for them both she must decide who to choose. Little does she know that they are the same person!

       This story takes on so many twists and turns as Daisy discovers more about her past and who she will choose for her future. As a whole, I loved this book! Denise Hunter created a beautiful love story while weaving real-life struggles and obstacles. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a cute romantic read! Or if you are into the Christian Romance genre.

 (P.S. Denise creates Pinterest boards for her inspiration of various books. These pictures were her inspo for both Jack and Daisy. I'm loving her choices!) 

 Thanks so much for reading! On Magnolia Lane releases on November 6th.

Well hello there!

Hello! My name is Megan. I've blogged on and off (more off) since 2011! I am a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, lover of fashion, makeup and traveling. This will be reflected in my posts and they will contain a little bit of everything. I also am an M.S. "fighter." My hope is to raise awareness and also encourage anyone who is fighting an autoimmune disease! I got married at the ripe old age of, ahem 19. As you can imagine I got some interesting and sometimes unwarranted reactions. "You're engaged?" " How old are you? Do you know how high the divorce rate is?" " I would never let my daughter get married that young"....yada yada yada. But thankfully I didn't listen to what anyone said! I have been married to my husband for over 6 years and haven't regretted it for one second! I have 2 beautiful boys, Noah (3) and Levi (almost 2) and a puppy named Tucker!  This is my beautiful, complicated and often crazy life.

California February 2018

     Wow time really got away from me the last couple of months. I had meant to post about this a LONG time ago! Here is a recap of my trip to Carlsbad/ San Deigo, California! This was the first time I had ever left my kids, but it was a great recharge for me. I got to tag along for a work conference for my dads company.  Kudos to my husband for totally nailing it at home. And also my dad for winning an award! (At the awards dinner) Carlsbad, California  We stayed at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. Its over 4500 acres in total and has a few golf courses. To be honest it felt like its own little town. There were multiple restaurants and a shopping areas, along with over 8 pools! Not going to lie though it was COLD. Like I was shivering without a jacket during the day cold...definitely not the warm Californian escape I was expecting. HA! But I really can't complain because it was a treat to see flowers and palm trees in the winte...
