Feels Like Family Book Review

I grabbed the third book in the series before I even had the first two because it was sitting on the shelf at the library while I was there so I figured that I would get to eventually but little did I know it would be so soon. Feels Like Family (Sweet Magnolias) by Sherryl Woods was quickly the next book in my pile and I was eager to read this book with the sunny cover. 

Helen Decatur spent a lifetime setting goals—getting through college and law school, opening her own practice, becoming financially secure and establishing herself as one of the most highly respected matrimonial attorneys in the state of South Carolina. Achieving those goals was a breeze compared to the one she's faced with now.  The most driven—and cynical—of the Sweet Magnolias, Helen is forty-two, single and suddenly ready for the family she's put on the back burner for all these years. Unfortunately, having a child at her age comes with lots of complications, not the least of which is the absence of a serious relationship in her life.  But Helen's not the type of woman to wait around for fate to step in. Taking charge of her own destiny puts her at odds with her two best friends, sets sparks flying with a man who doesn't want a family, and leads her straight into the most unexpected complication of all…love.

I loved this book!  It was a little crazy with some of the things happening but I love that the small town rallies around one of its own to help in any way that they can.  Someone is having trouble at work and they all try to figure out how to work so that she doesn't have to quit her job which is the only thing keeping a roof over her kids head.  There is a great network of friends that are always there for each other and reach out to others to protect those that are important to them.  With a great love story running throughout, what isn't to love about this book?!  I hope that you check out this book for your yourself the next time you are at the library or bookstore.  This and other books in the Sweet Magnolia series are well written with great characters.  I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have!
