There's nothing like a little serenity . . .

Maddie Townsend might live in a town called Serenity, but there's been nothing calm or peaceful about her life since her marriage broke up. This stay-at-home mom has no job skills, an out-of-control sixteen-year-old son, a talkative fourteen-year-old who's suddenly gone silent, a six-year-old daughter whose heart is broken, an ex-husband whose younger girlfriend is expecting their baby and two best friends who think she's somehow qualified to help them open a fitness spa for women.

But if Maddie is a tad on edge with all that on her plate, it's nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when she discovers that her son's baseball coach has feelings for her and the whole town disapproves. Maddie's faced a lot of challenges lately with strength and resolve, but Cal Maddox may turn out to be more than she can handle.

Then again, he could just be the one man in all of South Carolina who can help her find serenity.

Stealing Home

Maddie Townsend's life is changing faster than she can keep up. Her husband of twenty years has cheated on her and left her. Now, Maddie's kids are in turmoil as they all face life without Bill around and the reality that he's gotten his new girlfriend pregnant. With the help of her amazing best friends, Helen and Dana Sue, Maddie stays grounded. In fact, she's starting over with a new attitude and a new career. Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue are opening a day spa, and there just might be a new man in Maddie's life too. Cal Maddox really likes Maddie, but he's her son's baseball coach and Maddie's divorce isn't even final. Plus, in their sleepy town of Serenity, South Carolina, no one approves of their budding friendship. If they can sort thought the mess, Maddie and Cal may find that second chances can be even better than the first time around.

Stealing Home is a very engaging story filled with realism, romance, and tons of emotion. Maddie not only survives the heartache of a cheating spouse and the effect it has on her and her children, but she thrives. She's incredibly strong. Cal is the perfect guy. He's patient and compassionate and he fits perfectly with Maddie and her children. Sherryl Woods starts off the Sweet Magnolias series with a bang. She not only made me fall in love with Maddie, her children, and sexy Cal, but she had me actually feeling a teeny bit bad for Maddie's cheating ex and his mistress at the end. I was happy to see Bill get what he deserved by seeing Maddie get what she deserved, but I had a tiny shred of sympathy for him when it ended. Stealing Home is a wonderful romance. I'm looking forward to reading Helen and Dana Sue's stories next.

A good ole Southern read!

Another wonderful writer on my radar. I read this book in just under 12 hours. I couldn't get enough of the ladies of Serenity. Maddie's husband cheated on her with a much younger woman, whom is now pregnant. Maddie tries to make it through, for her 3 children. The oldest is having trouble at school and baseball practice. His coach decides to talk to mom and see what is going on. It is a whirlwind after that.

I wish someone opened a spa like that in my town! The Sweet Magnolias are a determined bunch of gals. I am so glad I have the 4 books, because I can't get enough!

Great summer reading

A triology set in a small town. Good story line on the lives & loves of three friends. Very good read for the summer, or any time.


Great Author

Have read several of her other books and was once again happy with her. Would love to know what happens next.
