Single Southern Flirt

Magnolia Grove, Book 1

By: Cary Hart

Narrated by: Gideon Frost, Stefanie Kay

Falling for my brother's best friend is the last thing I expect to do when I return home to Magnolia Grove, heartbroken and ringless.

But catching my fiancée banging his Harvard grad intern made me rethink my life choices, like ditching my education to play house. No more pretending, and no strings. All I need now is some careless fun while I rebuild my life, one odd job at a time.

Single, southern, flirt, Matty Lincoln is the perfect distraction. The professional football player had big dreams, and no back up plan.

After a career ending injury lands him back in our hometown, I find myself falling fast and hard for my old crush.

Now he's simultaneously fixing up my house, and my heart, making me feel things I wish I didn't.

And our little rendezvous? Yeah, it's about to make big waves in our small town.

Contains mature themes.

The broody brother best friend

Such a great book from beginning to end. Absolutely loved the HEA! The MFC is a hoot!

Ok,

It’s ok I’m unbelievably irritated with how immature the 25 year old female is in this story. She is back at home after a failed romance and instead of doing what an adult would do to get back on their feet she behaves like an entitled whinny teenager with little respect for the family who is helping her. In my life I don’t think I’ve ever met nor read about a 25 year female behaving like this. Especially a female who’s generally years ahead of most males. If you can get past that it’s tolerated for me I couldn’t

DNF. Unoriginal and boring

I really wanted to like this, as I was looking for a fun and light listen. I couldn’t finish it, unfortunately.
Maybe, if this was my very first book in this genre, it would have been acceptable but there is nothing new about the story, not much to like about the characters.
I am fed up with romance replaced by sex and interminable objectification of the male/female body. The “sexy times “ in this book are not even interesting. The hot-cold, forbidden fruit routine is tiresome if done badly and a superficial way of creating sexual tension.
“Lost” main characters, spineless heroine, injured athlete, repetitive descriptions of lust, superficial interactions, nosy secondary characters, meddling families, etc don’t make for a fun listen. There are some flat jokes thrown in. I had to stop listening.

It had potential

This was not insta love but the story was rushed. I repeatedly felt like I had missed minutes of relationship interaction but I did not. Ending was unrealistic.
