As I child, I believed in true love and fairytales. I convinced myself that there was one special man out there, made just for me. All I had to do was wait, and one day he would appear. Then I grew up and discovered the ugly truth.Disney movies were full of crap. Relationships took work. People made mistakes. And sometimes, you didn’t see what was standing right in front of you until it was too … until it was too late.
Deacon Lockhart was my best friend. And then I lost him. But now I finally have a chance to make things right, and this time I refuse to screw it up. With every smoldering look and wicked word, he charms the hell out of me… and I’m pretty sure I’ll never get enough.
Author Note: Charming Fiona is a friends-to-lovers romance with its own happily ever after.

Charming Fiona is the final book in Jessica Prince’s Girl Talk series, and I must say I feel like she saved the best story for last! Throughout the series, I couldn’t help but feel for Deacon- he had been in love with his best friend for years, even when she was dating his older brother. And that took a toll on their friendship. But, they as they work to get on the same page, they manage to discover that they are meant for each other.
After being introduced to Deacon in the first book, I felt so badly for Deacon. I mean, he’s been in love with Fiona since they were kids, but she never saw it. And it broke my heart! And Fiona, while a wonderful character- I loved her!- never saw it. Until years later, and it almost seems as if it’s too late. But they certainly have chemistry!
I loved this series! Many books haven’t captured my attention recently, but this Girl Talk series did the trick!
Charming Fiona is everything you want from a best friends to lovers book. It is seductive, funny and has that touch of angst that makes such a perfectly well-rounded book. I swear Jessica has a secret touch when it comes to writing about a group of friends too… I always want to become BFF with the friends in her books. I want them to absorb me into their little group where I will have non-stop laughs and support for the rest of my life!
More in the 4.5/5 range. I have been looking forward to Deacon and Fiona’s story, and I was not disappointed! Well edited.
Deacon and Fiona have been friends since childhood. Deacon has been in love with Fiona since high school. Fiona has missed the forest for the trees. Deacon was just about to declare himself when Fiona fell for his brother. After years of having his heart crushed, Deacon finally has an opportunity and he takes it. Only to have Fiona crush his heart again. Slowly but surely, Deacon tries to put his life and heart back together. Just when he thinks he is almost there, Fiona finally see what is right in front of her. Is it too late? Will Deacon and Fiona ever get their timing right?
So very glad to finally get to read Deacon and Fiona’s story. And, it was so great to get to see Lola/Grayson, Sophia/Dominic, and Daphne/Caleb again. Light, fun, and a tad bit emotional (cause Deacon!), this was a delightful read. Enjoy!
What an awesome addition to the Girl Talk series. You can read this one as a stand alone if you wish, but I’d sure suggest that you do. Fiona didn’t take any crap from Mr. Deacon, and Deacon was almost perfect. Loved the storyline. It flowed and kept me wanting to read until the end. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
Definitely my favorite in this series. Couldn’t wait to read Deacon and Fiona’s story. Friends to lovers and it was a journey. Deacon, so alpha and sexy!!! Fiona’s sass and fiery attitude is perfect for him. Hooked from the start. A great way to conclude this series.
Fiona grew up with her best friend Deacon Lockhart but she found out too late that her best friend had been in love with her but she didn’t have the courage to be honest with him and lost him to another woman. I cannot lose my best friend for the third time so I will do anything to keep him in my life but when we crash together, it is nothing like I ever expected. Life is messy and confusing in the best of times but letting go of the man I love will never be easy. I love, love, love this series. Amazing story of best friends Deacon and Fiona. I loved how conflicted she was in all aspects of her life, second guessing what she wanted versus what her family expected. This is definitely a MUST READ book!!! Hot read with even hotter characters in Fiona and Deacon.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for Deacon and Fiona’s second chance romance FOREVER!! Let me tell you, Jessica Prince nailed it and it was so worth the wait! Deacon and Fiona are most definitely my favorite couple from the bunch (this book can be read as a standalone but you will definitely enjoy the entire series)!
Deacon has loved Fiona for years, ever since they were kids. However, things changed when Deacon’s older brother stepped into the picture and began dating Fiona. Since then, things just have never quite been the same between them. But when Deacon finally tells Fiona how he feels, she’s caught off guard and pushes him away. And soon realizes, it was the biggest mistake of her life.
I adore this book. ADORE. Deacon and Fiona’s story was so full of life, love and laughter in the beginning and full of questions and angst now that they are unsure of where they stand. Fiona is a breath of fresh air…confident, yet doubtful and wants to just make everything OK. And can I just say that Deacon is just so yummy! He’s a total alpha but takes care of what’s his 😉 Charming Fiona is full of angst, laughter, heartbreak and sexiness that had me completely enamoured with the book from page #1. This book is a MUST for any Jessica Prince fan!
What do I do when I suffer from a bout of insomnia? I read an entire book written by Jessica. But do you know what happened? I couldn’t get to sleep until I was done reading the entire book. This 5 star story had me reading it in one sitting.
This is about Deacon and Fiona who have been best friends to not being anything. Then they got a second chance to be together and admit their feelings. It’s how they get there that made it quite interesting.
This is was such an amazing story, one that I couldn’t seem to want to put down for very long. It was lighthearted and very entertaining. The bantering between these 2 was funny at times. He was all alpha on her fiery attitude. I loved the characters very much. They had some serious chemistry going on. There were a few scene that were scorching hot. Bottomline is this is a must read.
It can safely be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading this series in order for a more pleasant experience. Told in a dual POV with an HEA. I highly recommend this story.
4.5 Getting the Second Chance She Never Thought She’d Have Stars!!!
Fiona and Deacon have been each other’s best friend for as long as they can remember. There’s only one problem, there was a moment in time when those feelings changed and the friendship they’ve always cherished changes….forever…..at least it seems that way.
This is the basis for this wonderfully written second chance romance by Ms. Prince. It’s also the last book in one of my favorite series so I was hoping it would be all that and a bag of chips….and it definitely met and exceeded my expectations!
When Deacon comes back into Fiona’s life, it sets up the story for some laugh out loud moments as her “girls” try to help her in the only way they think they can which had me snort laughing the longer the conversation went on. I mean it just kept getting better and better with each word that came out of their mouths. Problem is that Deacon isn’t really available at the moment which just makes the entire scene that much funnier because he WANTS to be available….have no fear though….things are about to change for our H/h that changes where they think they’re going in life and it’s ALL GOOD!!!
I was enchanted by their story. I mean these two are destined to be together but there are some hurt feelings that have to be resolved and they both need to acknowledge what I could tell is an attraction that just can’t be fought anymore. And oh my stars when they finally take that ultimate next step, queue the fanning that went on in my living room!!
Along the way to our H/h declaring their love, there are so many emotions that I experienced….a little frustration, lots of swooning, hilarity at some of the machinations of their friends and an all encompassing love story that just cannot be denied any longer.
Ms. Prince has left me with a huge smile on my face with the perfect ending to this series…although I’m really hoping someday in the future we’ll be seeing these characters again because I can NEVER have too much Girl Talk!
