Blurb:

I never imagined I’d be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when he’s a famous football player, and I’m just a therapist they can easily replace.

The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friend…even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Dean’s helping me fix my grandma’s old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation.

Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like he’s sparked life into me.

My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans.

But sometimes challenges lead us back to where we’re meant to be.

I love a good friends to lovers romance, and I am particularly fond of them when there were no pre-existing feelings. Coming home and starting over are other favorites of mine and this story, Rugged Southern Charmer was a delightful story that put a smile on my face.

Dean and Rae Lynn were not just good friends back in the day, they were on the high school football team together! How awesome is that? Anyway there was a lot of reminiscing which seemed to help Rae Lynn get over the drama that sent her running back to her small southern town.

This was a fun romance with a major dose of the feels. A solid addition to the Magnolia Grove story.
