My reputation at home is a laugh so I go to the place where I'd always been the happiest : Magnolia Grove with my MeMaw and PawPaw.

Little did I know that news of my brief and failed marriage had made it there. I venture to a nearby town for one night of peace. I thought I was emotionally unavailable until a chance encounter with a handsome stranger gives me a night of freedom and fun. No exchanging of names or personal information, and no intention of ever seeing one another again. No matter how incredible our chemistry may be.

But I do see him again—at my MeMaw's church.
My stranger is the town's new preacher.

My thoughts:

Whispered Southern Secrets is the next book in the Magnolia Grove series.  This one is Honey and JD's story.  They had a one night stand 3 years before. Now both are back in Magnolia Grove and are trying to get their life together.  There is a twist, JD is the new pastor in town.  I thought this one was cute.  Because it involves a pastor, its very tame compared to the other books in this series.  I loved the length of time that the story spanned.  I really felt like the two of them got to know each other.  First as friends and then that friendship grew into love. Through that love, they both became more open and confident in themselves.  The relationship that JD developed with James was a nice added bonus to the story.  I definitely recommend this one.
