Always on My Mind by Samantha Chase is now live!
Returning to Magnolia Sound was never part of the plan. Then again, Parker Bishop rarely had one. Yet after confessing her love to her best friend right before his wedding, she needs time to lick her wounds from the disastrous scene that unfolds. After the unsympathetic welcome she receives from her parents and siblings, Parker finds herself absentmindedly driving through town in search of a place to stay.
That's when she spots the flier and a familiar name...
Ethan Harlow enjoys the peace and quiet. Unfortunately, finding a moment of it becomes impossible when the flier he posts for a roommate brings Parker crashing into his life. Of course, he remembers her from high school. It's impossible to forget little miss popular who was always the center of attention. All he wanted was to split the rent and keep to himself. Instead, Parker transforms his home and makes him question the dreams he gave up out of fear of stepping out of his comfort zone.
The attraction they feel to one another makes crossing the line from roommates to lovers seem inevitable. But the more Parker encourages Ethan to pursue his dreams, the less likely it becomes that they can have any kind of future together. Can they find a way to claim their happily ever after or will their individual paths make a future impossible?
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
Always on My Mind is the tenth book in the Magnolia Sound series but I read it as a stand-alone and had no problems. It was fast-paced, had lovable characters, and was engaging from the beginning.
Parker Bishop had always felt pressured to be perfect when she lived in Magnolia Sound. She left to travel the world after school with no goals or plans for her future. She was happy with her life until she had a fallout with her best friend. Hurt and with nowhere else to go she returns to Magnolia Sound. She needed a place to stay where her family would leave her alone and she could heal and think of her future.
Ethan Harlow had settled living in Magnolia Sound and teaching at the community college when his father was ill. He dreams of teaching at a more elite college but fears the idea of being in front of a larger class. He remembers Parker from high school as the popular girl who was always laughing. He wanted a quiet roommate so was not sure their being roommates would work out. Living with Parker exposed her insecurities and a vulnerable side of her that he never saw in high school.
As their relationship grows, they encourage each other to reach for their dreams. Can their relationship survive when their dreams take them on different paths in life?
I love small-town romances and adore the families and friends from Magnolia Sound. This was a touching story of two people helping each other find themselves while falling in love. After reading this book I find myself curious and wanting to read the previous books. I look forward to reading more from Magnolia Sound.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
