I set a goal this year to read one book a week which totals 52 books. I couldn’t figure out how I would accomplish that with only reading Danielle Steel’s and Debbie Macomber books especially since Jackie Collins has passed away.This morning I would like to share with you A Carolina Girls series by Michelle Major.
I found the Sweet Magnolia series based on the Netflix movie I watch and I’ve been purchasing those books and there is 11 in the series. Then I found a book by James Patterson and Dolly Parton novel Run Rose Run but that still left me short.
The lord new my needs and the LORD has brought a lot of children’s books into my life/ I’ve been reading and could count in the challenge I set for myself. Although, it didn’t feel right using children’s books which I recived to review. I wanted novels adult’s read.
I decided I wouldn’t worry because the LORD always knows our needs before we do and once again he listened and had a press release sent to for a new book called Wedding Season. This book was written by Michelle Major and she is a new Author and I hadn’t read any of her books.
Although, when shopping at Ollie’s one day I did picked up a novel called Mistletoe Season from there clearance bin. Even though it wasn’t Christmas and I don’t like reading books about Christas before Thanksgiving I knew I could put this book up until November.
The LORD was preparing me because I recived a book called Wedding Season to conduct a review on. What I didn’t know was Wedding Season is part of a series written by Michelle Major from a series called The Carolina Girls.. I need to pick up A Carolina Promise (The Carolina Girls before I sit down to read Wedding Season: A Novel (The Carolina Girls) because I want to read the books in the order they were written.

Manicurist Holly Adams may not have much going on in her love life, but when it comes to doing nails, there’s no one better. Which is why, when her newest client turns out to be dashing new US senator Brett Carmichael—of those Carmichaels—she’s so intimidated that she can barely look up from her manicure scissors. But he charms her out of her shyness and eventually becomes a regular. Despite her attraction to him, Holly knows nothing can come of it. He’s a national political star, while she…barely graduated from high school.
The last thing Brett Carmichael thought he needed was a manicure, but when he meets lovely Holly, he considers it the luckiest break in his life. As their connection grows, he knows he’s falling in love—but he also knows that even though the difference in their backgrounds doesn’t bother him, Holly is bound to see it as a deal breaker.
When it comes to a relationship between a girl from nowhere and the heir to the country’s biggest political dynasty, can love truly conquer all?
The Carolina Girls
Book 1: Wildflower Season
Book 2: Mistletoe Season
She always followed the path of least resistance…until it leads her to a small town where she can follow her dreams.
When Emma Cantrell’s marriage imploded, she learned a fast and painful lesson about trusting her heart. Then, on a visit to Magnolia, North Carolina, to see her brother, an elegant, if dilapidated, Mansion for sale presents the opportunity to start over. Risking everything on her dream of opening the Wildflower Inn, Emma buys the house… just as the storm of the Century hits, severely damaging the structure. But a chance meeting with Holly, a bride-to-be in desperate need of a new venue, gives her hope…and the name of a contractor who’ll work fast and cheap, allowing Emma to repair the inn in time to host the Wedding and save her investment.
A furniture builder who hasn’t picked up a tool in the five years since his wife died, Cameron Mitchell has no intention of agreeing to help this beautiful—and, he’d guess, entitled—woman insisting that he fix her inn. Until he learns that Emma was sent by Holly, the little sister of his late wife. Grudgingly, Cameron agrees to do the work, with one condition: that he be left completely alone. But the more time they spend together, the more Emma touches a part of his heart he was sure died long ago, forcing him to try making peace with his past.

Maybe this Christmas they’ll see each other in a brand-new light…
Schoolteacher Bella Hart and her neighbor Sam Anderson are both newcomers to Magnolia, North Carolina, yet they’ve grown to be good friends. But lately she’s noticed a distinct charge in the air when they’re together. Still, from what Bella can see, the attractive and popular firefighter may be more of a good-time playboy than stable-relationship material. Hopefully her plans to spend Christmas back home in Colorado will give the attraction between them time to cool down.
Then Bella’s puppy, Tater, is injured days before Christmas, and she decides to stay in town to take care of him. Sam insists that Bella come with him to his Blue Ridge Mountain hometown for Christmas, hoping that Bella might see him in a new light there. But his hopes are dashed as soon as she meets his older brother. On paper, responsible and even-keeled Kyle is perfect for Bella—the exact opposite of a man like Sam.
Good thing Bella doesn’t give a Christmas fig about what looks good on paper. All she wants for Christmas is Sam. And in this season of joy and giving, could her wish possibly be about to come true?
Spend the holidays in Magnolia, North Carolina, where two lonely hearts find exactly what they need for Christmas.
Angi Guilardi needs a man for Christmas—at least, according to her mother. What she really needs is to grow her fledgling Catering business. Partnering with Magnolia’s Wildflower Inn holds promise, but when her mother falls ill, Angi’s pulled back to the responsibility of the family restaurant. While she balances work and her eight-year-old son, romance is the last thing on her mind…until Angi runs into Gabriel Carlyle.
Back in town to help his grandmother at her Flower Shop, Gabriel has no plans to stick around Magnolia, especially after he bumps into one of his childhood bullies. Sure, Angi’s all grown up and gorgeous now, and when they find themselves under the Mistletoe, their chemistry is undeniable. But it’ll take more than a Christmas miracle for Angi to break through the defenses of Gabriel’s well-guarded heart and find a love built to last.
