Book Reviews of Magnolia Summer
Book Review: A Very Good Standalone Contemporary Romance from Burton
Summary: 4 Stars
A transplanted New Yorker, Jordan, returns to her roots in the Deep South in order to fix up and sell the old family home she inherited from her grandmother. She encounters the local "bad boy", Sam, upon whom she had a crush in high school when she was a shy, gawky "drama nerd". He has grown into a magnificent man, and she, a beautiful, witty, and talented woman. The attraction is instantaneous. Both of them, though, bear emotional scars from their different pasts. Can there be a future between a wounded city woman and a wounded small town man?
This was an 4 to 4.5 star book, not quite 5, if only because the general plot is quite familiar and Jaci's personal touch didn't really change the familiar plot very much.
On the other hand, what earns Jaci her stars is her beautiful approach to the story, her really quite good writing, the overall sensuality, and the very good character development. In addition, the grammar, punctuation, spelling, and lack of misuse of homophones were really quite wonderful. Even more than usual for a Burton book, I was really drawn into the story and the characters. If it weren't for the somewhat tired plot, this would definitely be a 5 star novel.
