Reviews for Swan Point

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is book 11 in the Sweet Magnolias series by Sherryl Woods. You could read it as a stand alone but there are a lot of references to characters in previous books in the series so it makes more sense to read the series in order. The story is about Adelia Hernandez, the divorced mother of four children who is trying to make a life for her family in Serenity, SC. Her husband had cheated on her and so she isn't looking for a new love and doesn't trust men in general. Gabe Franklin is former 'bad boy' who has returned to Serenity to reconnect with his family. The story is about the relationship between Adelia and Gabe as they learn to live and trust again. Its a great love story and a good addition to the Sweet Magnolias series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 STARS Swan Points has a community of characters that I really like. It also has lots of gossip, everybody knows what you are up to. Some times it is helpful others it does a lot of harm. It deals with divorce and abuse. I like the plot. it is full of drama, relationships and romance. It is also a clean read. Adelia Hernandez is Catholic and newly divorced. Her family is not too supportive of her getting a divorce. She has four children. She works in a store on Main street that sells clothes. She just bought a old home called Swan Point that needs some work. Gabe Franklin has come back to his hometown to work for his cousin as a contractor. He was a troubled teen always getting into fights over protecting his mom. People would gossip about her and it might have been true but he still did not like hearing about it. I really like Adelia's four children. She has three daughters and one son. They want attention from a father in their lives. I think divorce is too easy to get now days and people find it just easy to give up. But in cases like Adelia where her husband does not want to try and work it out. Having affair after affair and flaunting in front of his children then the marriage is over or in the case of abuse. I like how the women of the town are supporting of each other and willing to help where they can. They might gossip but they don't mean to be mean. The setting for the book is a small town called Serenity, North Carolina. I would like to visit Serenity and see all my favorite characters again. I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give a honest review of the Swan Point.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My Booklist review:Woods proposes the notion that there’s nothing more self-centered than two people dating in a small town in her latest Sweet Magnolias cozy romance. When recent divorcee Adelia Hernandez starts going out with former town bad-boy Gabe Franklin, whose mother had been the town slut, the Sweet Magnolia group of gossipy women makes them the topic of conversation and a couple to watch. Adelia has her hands full, however, with four children, a disapproving mother and sister, a supportive brother with a new wife and baby on the way, and an abusive, resentful former husband. Keeping all the outside groups from sabotaging their burgeoning romance is nearly more than Adelia and Gabe can handle as they steal kisses wherever and whenever they can. Even fans of Woods’ chaste romances may be disappointed by this uneventful and colorless courtship which takes place while Adelia’s younger sister becomes a textbook battered wife.
