Highly Recomended

Going home again is not an experience treasured by everyone. Food stylist Maxine Henley finds facing the painful memories she left behind especially tedious. Arriving in Schomberg, just in time for her mother's "Solstice Bizarre," Max is handed a love charm one minute and a telephone break-off by her fiancé the next! Thank goodness her long-time friend Sam O'Neal provided a strong shoulder to lean on. A very strong, very handsome, very charming shoulder at that. Sam had once felt as Max did, that their tiny hometown held no attraction, the shared memories were painful for him as well. But now that he has come home, he has found comfort and a place for himself in Virginia. Can he convince Max that a safe life with her city-boy fiancé is not what she really wants or needs? Especially when she returned his kisses with such bone-melting fire? Ms. Simmons creates a vivid setting and good emotional conflict in this story. The passionate tension between Sam and Maxine is vivid. Readers will keep the pages turning, needing to see Maxine heal and Sam win her heart once and for all.

An enchanting tale of love and magic!

On her first visit back to her mother's home in several years, a mysterious fairy named Iona hands Maxine Henley a love charm, telling her "Wear this close to your heart and when the moon smiles, the right man will find you, guaranteed." Not one for believing in magic, Maxine hangs on to the good luck emblem and is glad she did as her life turns upside down. One minute she's engaged to marry Peter and the next he's was breaking off their engagement -- over the phone! Could her visit home to her mother's Virginia bed & breakfast get any worse? Just when she needs a shoulder to cry on, Sam O'Neal, her best friend from childhood appears there to lean on. But since when did he become so handsome and dangerously charming! Sam knew his beautiful old friend Max was still carrying a torch for her scoundrel fiance, but that didn't stop him from falling under her spell. And the way she returned his lingering kisses told him that she needed more than friendship, she just didn't know it yet. There was only one problem - their tiny hometown was the last place an ambitious girl like Max wanted to be. It was up to Sam to come to come up with the right magic to convince Max that you can return home to the ones you love. In her latest book, "Charmed and Dangerous," author Lynda Simmons once again charms her readers with a tale that has a pinch of magic, a dash of mystery and a whole lot of love and humor. The magical spell cast by Simmon's delightful story line will keep readers enchanted, and wishing on the nearest star for more. Look for Simmon's next entrancing book, "This Magic Moment," to appear on bookshelves this fall.
