Welcome to Serenity

I did not enjoy this as much as earlier Sherryl Woods books. I found it less realistic and more annoying in the setup. The main character was less engaging although this may have been the lack fo back story for a chunk of the book. I liked the revisiting of some of the familiar characters but definitely found the male hero annoying and arrogant

This book was a bit boring, really. I wasn't infatuated with any of the characters, and frankly found the women to be nosey little busy-bodies. The men were the worst, though. Oh, you know how them Sweet Magnolias are. You make one of them mad and then we have to come over and break your kneecaps. We're not their partners in life--we are their enforcers.

I kid. Sorta. Cute series, really, but this one is weak, weak, weak.

Fiction. Literature. Romance. When Jeanette Brioche helped launch The Corner Spa in Serenity, South Carolina, she found a whole lot more than professional satisfaction. She discovered the deep and loyal friendships that had been missing from her life. But even the Sweet Magnolias can't mend the terrible rift between Jeanette and her family or persuade her that the holidays are anything more than a season of misery. Pushed into working on the town's much-loved annual Christmas festival, Jeanette teams up with the sexy new town manager. Tom McDonald may be the only person in Serenity who's less enthused about family and the holidays than she is. But with tree decorations going up on the town square and a bit of romance in the air, show more Jeanette and Tom take a fresh look at the past and a hopeful look into the future. Together they discover that this just might be a season of miracles after all. show less

This book took me a while to get through.....nothing in it really held my interest long enough to read chapter after chapter like the first 3 in this series.

The Sweet Magnolias Book #4

Cuando Janette Brioche ayudó a poner en marcha el spa The Corner en Serenity, Carolina del Sur, encontró mucho más que una satisfacción personal en ello. Descubrió la profunda y leal amistad que había echado en falta en su vida. Pero ni siquiera las Dulces Magnolias pueden arreglar la terrible enemistad entre su familia y ella, ni convencerla de que las Navidades no son más que una época triste.
