Can mercy be found in the struggle between past and present…
Wyatt Cutler manages to break away from family-owned Cutler Nursery—and small-town Clover Cove—until his father perishes in a tragic accident. With no choice but to abandon his prestigious position at world-renowned Messer Dynamics and return to home, Wyatt’s only goal is to help his mother and brother, Reese, keep the family … family business afloat.
The laughter has faded for Kami Moretto as she struggles to keep her family’s business running. With her mom gone and her dad in a deep depression, Pappy’s Pizzeria hangs on by a thread. Kami longs for days of the past and a time when her faith carried her through every storm, while she wonders how Wyatt can take his family—and his business—for granted when hers is in such shambles.
When tragedy strikes, Wyatt realizes he must let go of the past and cling to hope for the future; he’s in danger of losing his family, his business, and the only woman he’s truly loved.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange of my honest review. These opinions are my own.
A wonderful story, of giving up a dream, while finding a better one.
Wyatt Cutler finds himself returning to small-town Clover Cove, after his father dies in a tragic accident. He’s not happy about it, but knows he has to do this for his family’s business. Across the street, Kami Moretto is helping her father’s pizza business, and works really long days. After he meets up with Kami, he begins to question his attitude, and wonders if he can save the business, and maybe stay. An attitude adjustment on his part begins to help him figure out things they can do for the business, and what chance he might be able to get the woman he’s truly loved. This is a beautiful story, and I highly recommend it.
Returning home can be tough. Wyatt really doesn’t want to be home. Kami never left. What could possibly be the outcome for them? Well written, clean and encouraging. Loved it. I received an advance reader copy from the author. Opinions are my own.
Loved Kami and Wyatts story. I felt so bad for Kami dealing with the death of her Mother and her Father grieving himself sick. But when Wyatt came back home to help his Mom and brother after the death of his father, I had hopes they could help each other. I read this in a day, it has wonderful characters. If you like clean reads with heart, I highly recommend ‘Magnolias and Mercy’. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
This was a feel good story about 2 people who in the midst of caring for and helping family renew their love for each other. It was an easy to read story and didn’t go too deep into any area. I enjoyed the story and the fact that it was a quick read with out a lot of deep thinking involved. I received a complimentary copy of this book, but have chosen to freely share my own thoughts and opinions.
A fantastic read that grabbed me from start to finish. The Author does a fantastic job at world building and Character building. There’s never a full moment. I definitely recommend this read. It’s a real page Turner.

I loved this story. Kami and Wyatt were both dealing with a grieving parent and a family business that was not doing well. I loved watching their friendship grow into something more. This was also a book about following your dreams, and that sometime those dreams change. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.
I received a digital copy of this book from the author and was not required to write a positive review.
I loved this book! What a great start to a new series. This is a sweet heartwarming story that will keep you turning the pages. If you are looking for a good, clean small town romance grab this book. I received an ARC copy and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Wyatt and Kami don’t seem to get along at first. He doesn’t want to be here helping his family keep their business. She wants her father to step down and let the next generation take over. In between, they start to see each other and the people around them in a different light. When a difficult situation arises, Wyatt realizes he needs all these people in his life. Loved this story! I received a copy from the author and this review is my own thoughts.
