The first book in the Twin Oaks series is like an introduction to the small town life and all the characters and camaraderie we expect to see. I enjoyed this book and its blend of romance, gossip, and family dynamics. Macee and Tyler were adorable together and I was rooting for their HEA!
The first book in the Twin Oaks Series and I know I want to read more. A well-written story that I found myself laughing with and at other times it made me sad. A story that once started I was not putting down until I had finished the book. This is the first book by this Author that I have read.

This is a fun, small town romance. It is the beginning of the of a series set in a small, southern town, so you get to meet a cast of characters. It is what small town life should look like; strong family ties, a bit of drama, and a whole lot of love. MaCee and Tyler have a slow burn romance that heats up when they finally get together. Tyler is the kind of sweet guy that every woman would love to be with. MaCee can be a bit quirky, and strong willed, as any southern lady may be, and the antics she and her friends get into are good for some laughs. The endearing loyalties are always present and are heartwarming.
This is a nice beginning to the series and seeing the characters that have been introduced, it will be a fun one! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
I loved this book. I laughed and cried while enjoying the journey and I can’t wait for the next book to come out. Mama Evie is a hoot and I love her conniving ways. MaCee is just as bad and loves to get even with her mama and her brother. MaCee has the best friends in the world and I loved how they all watched out for each other. Tyler has no clue what it is like to live in this small town and when he gets involved with MaCee he is more worried about his weird family than hers. I think it all just added to the fun. However all is not sunshine and roses, there are several bumps in the road for everyone and secrets to be revealed and old hurts to be dealt with. You will just have to read to see if MaCee and Tyler get their HEA and find out just why “Mama Knows Best” I think you will have a blast.

That´s a great start for a southern romance series. The characters are just adorable, specially the heroine of this book, which is not the Mama, but MaCee. She is sassy, sensitive, a wonderful friend, loyal and caring. Tyler is just perfect for her, protective, trustworthy and very very sexy. Their passion is overwhelming! You´re gonna laugh, feel hot and bothered, and get a nice chance to meet many of the other characters of this Louisiana town. I can´t wait to read the HEA of them all (Mama also)!!
After the death of her father, MaCee’s mother becomes very protective towards her. As a result, she feels so limited in leading her life that she soon starts living on her own. Until she notices that her mother is forgetful and she returns home. Her education also brings her back to the village where she grew up. MaCee does not think she can become happy in her mother’s house and in a small village. Until she meets Tyler.
In addition to the relationship that flourishes between Tyler and MaCee, you also meet many other characters in this book by people that MaCee has known since she was a young girl. Many old friendships, but also the eternal struggle between her and the girl she has been fighting with since childhood.
The writing style of Reece Taylor makes it an easily readable book where you have the feeling that you are part of the story, that’s how close she brings it to you. Humorously described dialogues and the thoughts of MaCee make you often have a smile on your face when reading this book

Perfectly named romance story. This is so heart-warming and hilarious. I love Tyler, I think he falls in love with MaCee instantly but he is not indecisive about it just realizes the importance of his opportunity and takes his time convincing her. I like MaCee too, she’s a bit more reserved but she definitely can’t fight the feeling either. They have their challenges to work through before their full speed ahead happily ever after. Great series starter, can’t wait to read what next for this community of supportive friends and loved ones. I received a free copy and without obligation from the author.

This was my first time reading Reece Taylor. Mama Knows Best is a sweet romance filled with humor and delightful characters. MaCee returns home when her mother becomes ill and is reacquainted with old friends and enemies. She also meets newcomer Tyler, who is living in his deceased father’s home. Tyler and MaCee hit it off right away and we get to read about all the hiccups and bumps in their journey to happiness. This was a nice low-angst read. The characters were nicely developed and I felt as if I knew them. I’ll absolutely read more from this author.
MaCee returns home after a few years away. She needed a little separation from her mama, but now her mama is having a few “issues”. I really think mama is a genius though. MaCee meets Tyler and they hit it off. Very sweet book, low on angst. It shows the fun and excitement of a new relationship and working through family issues that is long overdue. One of my favorite things is when MaCee panics, I really felt Tyler’s devastation. My heart completely broke for him. I also liked that none of the characters acted like idiots. MaCee had a moment, but it was over with quickly. There was no excess drama for drama sake. Again, very sweet book to escape into. I really want to read Cam’s book!
This story has it all, humor, spunk, and love.
This author wrote a book that kept me reading till the very end, laughing and almost crying throughout.
If the rest of the books will be like this one, I can’t wait.
This book has it all; hot romance, hysterical family interactions. MaCee and Tyler were a match from the first scene. The supporting cast will have you laughing so hard; especially both of their mamas. I look forward to catching up with the others in upcoming books
