Wow, this book had everything! It was sweet, spicy, and packed with just the right amount of angst to keep me hooked. Watching grumpy Hayes fall completely for Savannah? Absolute perfection—it was so worth the wait! The character development in Hayes was mind-blowing. From the distant, closed-off guy we first meet to the sweet, protective man by the end, I couldn’t get enough of his transformation.


And Savannah? Total sweetheart! Her character was flawless. Her chemistry with Hayes was off the charts from the moment they reconnected, even with all that tension between them. Despite the years and everything that happened, you could feel their bond from the start. They're true soulmates—the kind of couple that just clicks—and I couldn’t stop smiling while reading.


I have to say, Hayes and Savannah are officially my favorite couple of the series. They complement each other in every way and would move mountains to make each other happy. And of course, the RoD crew brought all the fun, with their classic support and those hilarious group texts. Magnolia Falls is my favorite small-town series!

Honestly this may be one of my favorite reads this year! Laura knocked it out of the park with this book! It gave me all the feels. Let me tell you, I’m a sucker for some funny group texts, and Laura had me laughing out loud throughout this book! Seriously this book deserves infinite stars! This one takes the cake for my fav LP book yet! Can’t wait for the new series!

Finding Hayes is the final book for the Magnolia Falls series. I've been so ready for Hayes book from the beginning & Laura definitely delivered.

Hayes and Savannah were childhood best friends up until Sav suddenly moved away one day without saying goodbye and cut Hayes out of her life. Years later Savannah is back and needs a fake husband. Who better to step into that role than her old friend Hayes? That spark they shared all those years ago still burns strong, and what a better excuse to finally be able to explore those feelings for each other. I loved their connection and seeing them rekindle their relationship after so many years of longing and miscommunication. These two have always belonged with one another, it just took them awhile to figure that out and work through their fears together.

I have loved and adored the entire Magnolia Falls series and I'm so sad to see it end. I could stay in this world with these characters forever. I hope we are able to come back one day for Beefcake's story! If you love a good small town romance, I can't recommend this series enough. It's definitely been a favorite of mine from Laura.

This book had my whole heart

I’m so sad that the Magnolia Falls series is over

OMG this was the perfect ending to the series! If there was a fictional town I’d want to live in, it would be Magnolia Falls!! This group of friends and their women hold such a special place in my heart. Hayes and Savannah were just amazing. Hayes is up to be the next fire captain, and Savannah needs a husband to collect her inheritance, so you know what that means right? These two have a history, and they can’t stand each other, but realizing they both have something significant to gain, they decide to go for it. So it’s only a matter of time until the sparks fly! I loved getting the little bits of the past throughout this book, it helped to build the full picture of their relationship. You could feel how special they were to each other when they were young, and it was so beautiful to see them open themselves up to each other again and realize how much more they could be! I’m so going to miss the RoD group chats, Beefcake’s hilarious quips, and the amazing woman to capture the hearts of these boys. The narration from Andi Arndt and Lee Samuels was stellar, they were the perfect sunshine and grump, and brought all the feels to this story!

Pacing was a bit weird, like tension broke and they’re fully together at 50%… There were also weeks of time that just got glossed over. Maybe I feel disappointed because I had high hopes for this book. It wasn’t bad, just not the best marriage of convenience/forced proximity.

*I feel weirdly like I have Deja vu of the Kate situation? Was this in the epilogue of the last book or something?
