Review: A Charm Like You (Charmed in Texas #5) by Sharla Lovelace


Even in a quirky small town like Charmed, Texas, there’s always room for love to take you by surprise . . .
 
Gabi Graham might have hit the proverbial rock in rock-bottom. Hitting the single scene after ten years is hard enough. Finding out that her cheating ex-husband and his new barely-legal fiancée are expecting—that’s enough to drive Gabi over the edge and into a neighboring town’s divorce support group. It’s not really her thing to listen to anonymous strangers bash their exes, but at least there are cookies. And a sexy fellow newcomer who ignites her long-dormant libido. Spending a few lustful, post-meeting moments in Hot Guy’s truck can’t hurt. Unless, of course, Hot Guy turns out to be Thatcher Roman—her best friend’s brother and Gabi’s silent business partner.
 
Thatcher had no idea that the wildflower farm owner he’s been doing business with over email is the nameless woman who’s barreled into his life and his fantasies. He and Gabi have a new venture to run, a sister and best friend in the middle, and enough sparks between them to light up the entire town of Charmed. Given her past, it’s no wonder smart, gorgeous Gabi has trust issues. But maybe what they’ve found is more than just coincidence and chemistry. It might even be the beginning of one sweet, amazing second chance . . .

Terri's Thoughts

**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!**

I am a little late getting this review posted but better late than never.  I have been reading this series since the beginning so it is safe to say I have been enjoying it.  It seems that with this one, Lovelace has raised her game a bit.  It very well be my favorite in the series, or at least tied with the first one.

The reason why you ask?  She perfectly captured the chemistry and attraction between Gabi and Thatcher.  How they knew when the other was in the same room as them, how they could tell when the other was looking at them etc.  It isn't always easy to capture this kind of connection.  Many times it falls short or so overboard it is cheesy.  In this case it was the perfect balance.

For reasons I will not share, it appears that this will be the end of the series.  A town of quirky characters, I am going to miss Charmed and its gang.
