Magnolia just captured my attention from the very start. It beautifully described the struggles of a woman in a man's world and brought that touch of romance that I love. The amazing writing held me captive until the very end. A touch of romance, a touch of adventure, and a touch of heart, this was such a good story. However all my younger readers should know that this is an ADULT book. Rating - 5 stars due to excellent plot
