emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

Magnolia Falls is one of my fave fictional small towns. I loved this series so much and Hayes and Savannah were both amazing. I think book one was still my favorite in the series (Romeo and Demi) but all five books were so good. The continuation of the other four storylines in this one hit different. I am still obsessed with Beefcake and love how their found family friend group is now all married and having babies.

But anyway, firefighter Hayes was broody and grumpy perfection. Savannah was definitely the sunshine he was missing. This was surprisingly very emotional and ended up a full blown corny, cheesy, love fest but if you like small town romance, read this series.

It’s really hard to believe we are already at the end of our Magnolia Falls area. I’ve fallen hard for these tough men and the women who bring them to their knees. Finding Hayes is no exception. I really enjoyed this entire book. I loved the way Hayes and Savannah gave each other a hard time from the get go. Even though there had been years of separation. I loved how Hayes was prepared to help Savannah. Loved how quickly they fell for each other. Loved the chemistry. The story also has some trials that have to be overcome. The characters navigate it so well. Loved how there wasn’t a huge conflict or angst throughout the book.

Such an easy read. I liked the cadence of events but it felt like it was lacking some turmoil or needed a little bit of tension carried throughout

Book 5

I’ve loved this series but this one was disappointing. I’ve looked forward to Hayes story. I absolutely detest the misunderstanding/miscommunication trope. I almost stop reading early be because of it. And it caused me not to like Savannah through most of the book. A disappointing way to end the series.

What a sweet and heartwarming conclusion to the Magnolia Falls series. Seeing all the boys finding their strong headed women, Cutler getting all his ladies and cousins, and everyone succeeding with their businesses, ugh my heart is full.
Hayes and Sav are so special, and while there was that slight miscommunication trope, I’m glad it was resolved quickly and they realized they were meant to be together.
This book didn’t have too much going on plot wise besides Sav dealing with her dads cancer and Hayes with his work, but it was such an easy and enjoyable read that had me fully invested in Sav and Hayes relationship. The tension coming to a head was fantastic.
Overall, this is definitely my favourite series by Laura Pavlov so far. Also side note, loved getting to see Easton more after reading his story in Steal My Heart.

Finding Hayes is book 5 in the Magnolia Falls series! It follows Hayes and Savannah! A great story of childhood friends to lovers, finding their way back to each other after 10 years! Hayes and Savannah are so perfect together! They are the definition of soulmates. Their chemistry was off the charts! I was smiling throughout the whole book. Hayes was so so sweet! I love the whole crew so much! This whole series is the definition of found family! I love that we got to catch up with everyone. Beefcake always stole the show and I absolutely loved him! This was such a perfect ending to a wonderful series!

Thank you Valentine PR and Laura for the E-arc! All thoughts are my own!
