Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods, don't miss the Sweet Magnolias series that inspired the hit Netflix show!
When Jeanette Brioche helped launch The Corner Spa in Serenity, South Carolina, she found a whole lot more than professional satisfaction. She discovered the deep and loyal friendships that had been missing from her life. But even the Sweet Magnolias can’t mend the terrible rift between Jeanette and her family or persuade her that the holidays are anything more than a season of misery.
Pushed into working on the town’s much-loved annual Christmas festival, Jeanette teams up with the sexy new town manager. Tom McDonald may be the only person in Serenity who’s less enthused about family and the holidays than she is.
But with tree decorations going up on the town square and a bit of romance in the air, Jeanette and Tom take a fresh look at the past and a hopeful look into the future. Together they discover that this just may be a season of miracles after all.

Customer Reviews
Good, but ended abruptly.
I enjoyed the book, but felt it ended abruptly. I also noticed that on two different occasions it had a characters name incorrect.
(I even checked back in the previous books to make sure I hadn’t missed something.) It refers to Maddie as Maggie and to Bill as Richard. I feel if I noticed it, then the editor should have as well.
A tough sell
Tom has a tough time selling Jeanette on the possibilities of their relationship. The book ended really abruptly with him wooing her to believe in his plans for the future which involve commuting from his new job to Serenity. I guess we may hear more about how it works out in future books, but it was really unsatisfying to have it end that way.
Ruined
The overwhelming sexual tone of this book ruined a nice plot and well written characters, so reading more by this author is out of the question!
