The Sweet Magnolias

I just finished the final book in this series (I think it is final, I would not be surprised it she does something with the Karen character later...)

The first one was still my favorite. I like Maddie and Cal. I felt that she really opened up the characters and as a reader I "knew" them. To me knowing the characters is the most important part of the book (unless it is a very explicate book- then who cares about character development)

The third book in this series was my second favorite. Helen's story was a little to close to home (baby ?) but Erik was a great character!I kept cheering him on the whole way "tell Helen about your wife... tell her tell her) it was great.

All three books
Stealing Home
A Slice of Heaven
Feels Like Family
