Cricket O'Malley can't wait to plant roots back home in Georgia, where she's returned to restore an abandoned flower shop to its former glory, and become the go-to place for bridal bouquets to set the tone for the perfect wedding day. The only blemish Her neighbor's house is even more neglected than her old flower shop, and its occupant seems as surly as he is darkly handsome. Devastated body and soul after a tough case went south, New York City detective Sam DeLuca thought he'd have no trouble finding solitude in the quiet small town of Misty Bottoms, but his precocious neighbor seems determined to spread her perky positivity into Sam's life. Sam is equally determined to close himself off, but his heart says otherwise.

Reviews

"Austin's engaging second Magnolia Brides contemporary (after The Best Laid Wedding Plans) brings a Yankee into the heart of the South.... The charming side of small-town living and some creative flower-arrangement tips make this sweet romance a delightful read. " - Publishers Weekly
"Sam fills the Big Bad Wolf persona with his surly attitude, yet Cricket sees past that image to the broken man inside, which sets up the slow burn of their relationship. Sam's past adds a suspenseful element, as well as providing the catalyst for an "opposites attract" scenario. Misty Bottoms is an ideal location for a contemporary romance because it acts as a character in itself, capturing the essence of a small southern town to perfection." - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
"Austin (The Best Laid Wedding Plans, 2015, etc.) brings an entire cast of quirky characters to life in the second installment of her Magnolia Brides series.... Readers who enjoy detailed worldbuilding and secondary character development will like this story." - Kirkus Reviews
"Southern charm and sweet romance combine in the second book in Austin's Magnolia Brides series.... Familiar characters and behind-the-scenes details of the wedding business will have readers dreaming of their own trip south." - Booklist
"EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY by Lynnette Austin is a romance that has it all! [...] Cricket is feisty, strong and really loveable, and I love a character that isn't afraid to say what she wants. Throw in a beautiful town with so many interesting and unique characters, and this story is a winner. Part of the Magnolia Brides series, I cannot wait for more from this author. EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY by Lynnette Austin is a beautifully written tale of romance, friendship and learning to trust, and I highly recommend it. " - Fresh Fiction
