A childhood friends to lovers, small town romance

I never imagined I’d be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when he’s a famous football player, and I’m just a therapist they can easily replace.

The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friend…even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Dean’s helping me fix my grandma’s old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation.

Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like he’s sparked life into me.

My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans.

But sometimes challenges lead us back to where we’re meant to be.

Rugged Southern Charmer is a steamy small-town romance set in Magnolia Grove. If you like friends-to-lovers, coming home, and charming heroes, then you'll love this story.

BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS - SMALL TOWN ROMANCE!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

Verified Purchase

Rae Lynn comes home after being fired from her sports therapy job because of a player. She's helping her brother out while his wife is on bed rest during her pregnancy. She meets back up with Dean, her best friend when she was in school, and they are as close as ever. Actually even more close.

Dean knows what he wants and he goes after it, or should I say her. Rae doesn't plan on staying in her small hometown, its just temporary. I loved these two together and their witty banter was hilarious! Just a sweet, fun, perfect book!

Cute second chance romance.

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

So I love a best friends to lovers story and I am enjoying this series and how the stories interconnect yet still standalone. You get to see other aspects of previous characters’ lives which is fun!

Rae Lynn is back in her hometown helping out family and recovering from a relationship gone wrong which led to her losing her job. She reconnects with her two best friends - Dean and Mattie! She has truly just been friends with both, but there’s just something about a grown up Dean that makes her heart beat a little faster.

Unbeknownst to her, Dean is feeling the same way and a drunken dare leads to the start of something more than friendship. But Rae is determined to just be in town for a short time while Dean’s career is firmly in their hometown.

Can these two find a way to make it work? Will they communicate enough to make it work? You’ll have to read to find out.

This is an entertaining series and this is an enjoyable read.

I voluntarily requested and read an uncorrected advance reader copy.

Sweet & Spicy Best Friends to Lovers!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

𝐑𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 by Fabiola Franciso is the 4th book in the multi-author Magnolia Grove small town romance series, featuring a sweet and spicy best friends to lovers story for Dean and Rae Lynn. After a bad choice in men jeopardizes her career, Rae Lynn finds herself returning to her hometown to help her pregnant sister-in-law. She quickly runs into her best friend, Dean, who is surprisingly even hotter now than he was in high school. They start to hang out often, and a fateful game of truth or dare changes everything. She’s supposed to go back to her life in the city, but she never planned on falling in love. What will become of this new relationship between these old friends?

This is such a fun series! I absolutely loved this author’s take on Dean and Rae’s fall from friends to lovers! I could feel their shock at the obvious attraction between them, especially on Rae’s part. They were so relatable and entertaining with all the witty banter and flirting, and I loved the friendship dynamic that they had with Mattie as well! Dean and Rae had plenty of spicy chemistry that just added an extra layer to their already strong relationship. I love how seamlessly the world building flows into this book. There are so many characters adding to the story, some from previous books and some new. Rae’s brother, sister-in-law and niece, Winnie, were fun characters. My only disappointment really is that with all the mentions of Sasha’s high-risk pregnancy, we don’t get to see how it turned out, even with the epilogue. Other than that, I really enjoyed these characters and their story! I look forward to seeing what happens next in this unique Magnolia Grove world.

A fun romance with a major dose of the feels

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024

I love a good friends to lovers romance, and I am particularly fond of them when there were no pre-existing feelings. Coming home and starting over are other favorites of mine and this story, Rugged Southern Charmer was a delightful story that put a smile on my face.

Dean and Rae Lynn were not just good friends back in the day, they were on the high school football team together! How awesome is that? Anyway there was a lot of reminiscing which seemed to help Rae Lynn get over the drama that sent her running back to her small southern town.

This was a fun romance with a major dose of the feels. A solid addition to the Magnolia Grove story.

How can I get to Magnolia Grove??

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

This Magnolia Grove series has become one of my favorites and it is because of stories like this one! Rae has to leave the city where she moved to live out her dreams and go back to Magnolia Grove where she grew up. The locals think she has moved back to help her pregnant sister-in-law and Rea likes it that way, so she can avoid the gossip. During high school Rae played football and her two best friends were guys from the team. Dean, never left Magnolia Grove and has a successful business, while Matty has a successful pro football career, but injury finds him back home. The three friends take up right where they left off, but Dean and Rae seem a pull towards a stronger connection. That is all I will share, because you NEED to read their story for yourselves! It is well written and the characters seem real. You will find yourself becoming immersed in the story and hoping for the best for the characters.

Loving Magnolia Grove!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024

I’m loving Magnolia Grove. And Dean and Rae Lyn are such great characters. I’ve read Fabiola Francisco’s work from the first time I could.. and will continue to read her work. I love the characters, and the storylines she’s chooses and situations she chooses to put her characters in make them interesting to read and so much fun.

Rae Lyn comes back home after losing her sports therapy job because of a relationship. She and Dean have been friends for years, but have never been together as a couple. Dean realizes he wants more… but what does Rae Lyn want? It’s an amazing read, and you’ll fall in love with Magnolia Grove just like I did.
