All about Magnolia Blooms Book #1: You Can Feel It In The Silence

Meet Emmett Calhoun and April Scott...

"You can feel it in the silence--when you're loved, when you're home."

Welcome to Magnolia, Louisiana, a small town desperate for a fresh start after tragedy. Newcomer, April has made it her life’s work bringing old, abandoned properties back to beauty. It was a dream first instilled in her by her father after they lost their home in a hurricane. Since then, April has lost much more—both her parents and her hearing. April’s life has been quiet for far too long. The only comfort she finds is in her work. That is until she meets the farmer next door, Emmett Calhoun.

Emmett is driven by two things—responsibility to his family and a desire to never become his father. Reluctant to allow himself a taste of something new, Emmett avoids helping April with the renovation until he simply can’t. When he finally agrees to help, more than the historic inn gets a fresh start.

April hears Emmett, sees him, more than anyone else ever has. Emmett learns and loves April in a way no one else has ever been willing to. Together, they find the silence isn’t so quiet. Together, they tear down the walls guarding their hearts and open their minds to new possibilities for the future—to new dreams, to new love. And the town of Magnolia enters a new chapter of togetherness.

This novel is a complete standalone and releases on July 1st.

Emmett and April's story is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. This novel features wholesome town events, tractor rides, stargazing, pet goats, nostalgic letter writing, and tons of love. We even see the two of them develop their own signs for quick communication. But it's not without some truly panty-soaking spice.

Our MC Emmett is a total tease and loves to please. He also likes things a little rough, but is forced to restrain himself when he learns his love is a virgin--at least, at first.

Emmett and April's sexual relationship has been fun to explore because it is a time of exploration. Emmett wants April to know her pleasure matters too and he makes sure to show her all that's possible. April is eager to learn and embrace her power.

Beyond the sexual exploration this novel features, both April and Emmett have deep wounds from tragic pasts and the town of Magnolia has its own secrets and scars.

You Can Feel It In The Silence features a subtle mystery subplot as April discovers the history behind the inn she's come to renovate (and the identities of the star-crossed lovers at the center of the mystery). Emmett makes some discoveries of his own.

Overall, You Can Feel It In The Silence, is sure to be a well-rounded read full of romance, emotion, spice, solved secrets, and more.

Check it out this summer, releasing July 1st!
