Charmingly Yours: a sweet and sexy romance

Charmingly Yours by Liz Talley is the first book in the Morning Glory series. Life in the tiny town of Morning Glory, Mississippi, is all Rosemary Reynolds knows. When her childhood friend, Lacy, dies, she leaves letters to her friends, Rosemary, Eden and Jess that will send them each on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Despite her mother’s protests, Rosemary heads to New York City to stay at her cousin’s trendy Soho loft. On her first day in town, a wrong turn leads her to Little Italy and into the arms of the handsome and outgoing Sal Genovese. Sal’s life is being mapped out around him, despite his misgivings and protests. His mother wants him to marry a family friend and his father wants him to manage the new family deli. When Rosemary arrives in his life, she is a breath of fresh air and he’s eager to show her a good time. They agreed to a two-week fling but soon they realized that saying goodbye was going to be harder than they thought. 

Charmingly Yours is my first book by Liz Talley. Being highly recommended by other readers, I look forward to a great story. From the beginning, I related to Rosemary as she never truly ventured far from home despite her dreams of traveling and seeing the world. Going from a tiny town to the Big Apple was a culture shock but she’s determined to jump into the dive end and live as Lacy urged her to do. Staying in New York and a fling with Sal finally helps Rosemary find her voice, puts her foot down and demands that she be allowed to live life on her terms and not according to her overprotective mother’s fears. The story is sweet, flirty and sexy. I laughed, sighed and cried as Rosemary and Sal’s romance is as sweet as southern sweet tea. I ended the book with a huge smile on my face and a sigh from my lips, eager to read the rest of the series. I highly recommend Charmingly Yours. 

Charmingly Yours is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
