A Charm Like You is truly a great sendoff to this quirky, yet completely endearing group of characters. This time around it's Gabi Graham's turn to find love after her jerk of a husband cheats on her with his assistant and is now going to marry her and become a father. As Gabi tries to get her life back on track, she starts to go to a divorce support group and is immediately taken with a man she dubs, 'hot guy'. With no real names used during the weekly meetings, what starts as mild flirtation takes a very sexy turn and the surprise of Gabi and Hot Guy's lives are just around the corner.

Let's just say the entire wonderful group of friends we've come to know and love are a bit incestuous and I mean that in the very best way. But it's a whole load of siblings and friends and their lust for one another gets all tangled up. And with Gabi and Hot Guy, their worlds just got a bit more complicated when their real identities are revealed and Gabi doesn't know what to do. I liked that Hot Guy (Thatcher Roman) knew what he wanted and that was Gabi. But I was a bit miffed that Gabi kept turning Thatch away time and again and she was damn lucky he didn't give up on her.

I also love the subtle underlying story that has been a thread through the entire series and that is the bit of 'magic' that seems to follow Lanie's Aunt Ruby, Allie's Dad and the very mysterious Mr. Bailey, Gabi's benefactor for her Wild Things business. We finally get to somewhat understand how these three misfits lived their lives and the whys as to many of their decisions. The final chapters truly answered most the questions both myself and these characters have wondered about since the start.

I have been thoroughly charmed by this sweet and touching series and I'm sad to have to let this crew go. But A Charm Like You gives us the ending we all needed and I'm sincerely satisfied as to how it all concluded.

4 solid stars!

4 ”When The Heart Knows, It Knows” Stars!
Gabi Graham lives in the small town of Charmed, Texas where her family owns a florist shop. She also has a new business venture she’s excited about. Her personal life is a different story. Her love life is at an all time low since her husband cheated and left her for a younger woman. Now she’s divorced and single for the first time in over a decade. She’s struggling to adjust to her new reality, and decides to attend a divorce support group in a neighboring town. She figures maybe being around strangers who are in a similar situation might be good for her. One plus is real names aren’t allowed, and it’s anonymous. She’s tired of always being so angry, and thought venting about everything might help.

Then she meets a sexy guy there who awakens something inside her she didn’t know still existed. She feels chemistry and lust that consumes her every time he’s near. She begins to look forward to getting a weekly glimpse of all that delicious perfection. The flirting ramps up, and she is considering a no strings fling with her mystery man as things begin to heat up. Then she learns Hot Guy’s true identity as their real worlds collide. Things are now complicated, and she’s questioning her judgment. She’d sworn she would never let anyone have the power to hurt her ever again. Her trust was damaged, and she didn’t think she was ready for something real. Would she recognize she’d found something amazing before it’s too late?

A Charm Like You is a fantastic book about love, friendship, and second chances. It’s sexy, full of humor, and the angst will have you hooked throughout. I had trouble putting this one down, and I loved this guy hard! He’s super swoony!!! I really enjoyed this story!

Another great romance in Charmed, Texas! Gabi and Thatcher's story is fun, sexy, filled with romance and a little heartbreak. My heart broke for Gabi and her problem with infertility. Being a woman myself who has been through it, the way the author wrote about it was dead on. I felt Gabi's turmoil and the way Thatcher handled her fear and doubt in herself was AWESOME!! It also helped that he was HOT!! LOL!!

After struggling with a boring book for four days, I knew I had to treat myself. A Charm Like You was sitting in my TBR queue and there was no question I’d read it next.

A Charm Like You is the kind of book you want to devour in one sitting, forgetting everything else around you. In fact, all of the books in Sharla Lovelace’s Charmed in Texas series have been like that. They are not only charming, but they have more than a dash of magic, are sexy, and have an adorable couple at the center that the reader cares about.

Gabi Graham has gotten the short end of the stick too many times lately. Her husband has cheated, and now she’s being thrown out of her house because he wanted to keep his fiancee in the lifestyle to which she’d grown accustomed and didn’t pay off the mortgage on his and Gabi’s house, which was his end of the deal. At a divorce support group, she meets “Hot Guy,” and the sparks fly, even after she discovers who he is (her best friend’s brother) and decides that they can’t do whatever it is they’re doing.

As “Hot Guy,” Thatcher ranks as one of my favorite Charmed heroes. He’s sexy, protective, laconic, and did I say sexy?

Gabi and Thatcher are a slow burn. In the same room they are combustible, without even touching each other. Just a look. The sexual tension is built up to a searing extreme. And this is just the way I like it. All of the anticipation.

A Charm Like You has a little bit of everything. I laughed, cried, and just wished it would never end. Frankly, I hope the Charmed in Texas series never ends.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Gabi's in just a terrible place- and for good reason. Her decision to go to a support group, however, pays off big time when she meets Thatcher, who, is turns out is the silent investor in her business. They meet cute but they've already met via email! This is nicely written and you'll find yourself rooting for these two, who you just know are going to get together for an HEA. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. I'd not read any of the previous books but I happily gulped this up- it's a quick read (it's also fairly short) and a happy one.

I so enjoy visiting Charmed every book! The characters are great and the town is full of that small town gossip and busybodies. I loved Gabi and Thatcher together. Their playfulness with one another, and their commitment to friends and family. So many laugh out loud moments entertained with endearing and heart stopping moments. Couldn't put it down!

When Gabi's marriage and life falling apart she does something she never thought she'd do. Group discussion/therapy. But if the sight greeting her as she walked in was any indication she was gonna like at least seeing him. Tall, dark and sexy. And with no names being given that made it so much nicer. The attraction is instant. But things go from bad to worse when she finds out who he is.

Thatcher never thought he would go to a divorce group but here he is. Greeted with the sexiest woman he's ever seen. And the air of suspense not knowing what her name is makes her all the more alluring. But when the bomb drops and they find out who one another are, they agree they can't see one another.
Business partners, Gabi's best friend! Too many things get in their way.

As Gabi learns more about her ex and his new almost wife things break down for her and Thatcher is there. Seeing her at her worst and never wavering. Can they make a go of it? Is there a chance?

This book has a great story line and kept me engaged the entire time! I enjoyed the emotions each character brought forward and the instant attraction between the 2 main characters. The main characters are well developed. I had no idea this book was part of a series, but know I am seeking out the others in the series to read next!

This book has all the elements of my favorite kind of romance. Quaint, small-town setting, quirky but loveable characters and a captivating and engaging storyline. It's one where the people are welcoming, family is comprised by bonds of the heart, friends embrace you unconditionally, faults and all, and love offers healing, hope and second chances. As if that’s not enough, there’s also a supernatural element that offers some delightful, touching surprises for our friends in Charmed, TX.

Gabi is the last of her group of friends to pair up, which is exactly how she wants it. Not long after Gabi discovered her infertility issue, her marriage went up in flames with all the grace and dignity of a fiery inferno from an exploded oil rig. Not only is her ex-husband about to marry his pregnant child-bride, he neglected to pay the mortgage on the home Gabi now has five days to vacate before the bank takes possession. To add insult to injury, her family's floral shop is asked to do the flowers for the wedding shower, with tiny baby booties, to boot. Nope. Not. Happening.

In an effort not to kill her ex, and with encouragement from her mother, Gabi heads the next town over to attend a support group for divorced singles. Not her idea of fun, but Gabi really needs not to kill her ex, and she’s hopeful there will be cookies. In addition to cookies, there are vamped up divorcees on the prowl and one hot guy she has an instant connection with. And holy hades, it is one hot connection. The mystery of going with the support group rule of not using real names just adds to the intensity of their deliciously slow burning romance. That is, until Gabi finds out her hot guy is really her silent business partner and her best friend's brother. So obviously, Gabi can’t keep doing this, whatever it is they’re doing, with Thatcher. Except every time they’re within ten feet of each other the air sparks and crackles between them and she somehow finds her lips on him again.

Some readers might fault Gabi for her excessive pushing, rather than pulling, when it comes to Thatcher, and I’ll admit, a wishy-washy heroine can really grate on my nerves. But with Gabi, I get it. It wasn’t a matter of her not knowing what she wants, but rather fighting her feelings and being afraid a relationship with Thatcher would fail. If I had to deal with everything that she has endured, I might be just a tad resistant and afraid to trust any man, too. When Thatcher challenges her and calls her out though, she overcomes her fear and fights for them.

The early copy I read of A Charm Like You is only my second in the series. Although I’ve missed the first three books, I was never at a loss or feeling like I had missed key information while reading this book. I adored the other characters just as much as Gabi and Thatcher, so I will certainly be reading the other books in the series ASAP. There’s just something so warm and inviting about this setting and its people that I was ready to pack my belongings and move to this amazing, charming little town. I loved everything about it and just can’t get enough. Any fan of small-town romance is sure to love this heartfelt, humorous, poignant read, and if you’ve never read this author before, I urge you to give this one a try. Fans of authors like Emily March, Erin Nicholas and Iris Morland will adore everything that is Charmed, TX!

*I reviewed this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

This series makes me laugh, smile and of course swoon. And I absolutely adored this installment! Gabi and Thatcher (aka Hot Guy) are just everything together! I love how their relationship begins, evolves and ends as far as the story goes. This is such a fun story line and the journey it takes them on is sexy and wonderful and complicated at times but so worth it. The writing is great, the secondary characters are also wonderful and the chemistry between Thatcher & Gabi is to die for! Sexy, sweet, steamy, fun and heartwarming; a nice taste of all the good stuff!!

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for my review. I am a huge Sharla Lovelace fan and I think I have read all of her books including the latest in this Charmed in Texas series. I have loved all the quirky characters in this town and the steamy romances. This is, I believe the last in the series, and my only disappointment was it seemed a bit short-more like a novella than a novel. That being said, I loved this story and the way that the entire series was wrapped up. I love that all of the characters made a return appearance. I also thought that the story between Gabi and Thatcher-both trying to heal after broken relationships was especially sweet. The entire series is a must read!

I have been with this series since it started, and I can say thi one is by far my favourite.
Maybe it was because I can relate to Gabi, being divorced after a cheating heartbreak and being afraid of what meeting and letting someone else in entails. It is scary out there and I think I will be alone forever and ever...
Now, to the book, it was amazing, funny, quirky, with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
I loved him, how he was willing to put himself out there and how hurt he was that Gabi wouldn't let herself be happy for the first time.
I fell even harder for this charmed town and all its occupants.
I highly recommend this book but seriously need to read it in order, you won't regret it.

I loved this book. Gabi and Thatcher were absolutely hysterical. From the get go I was caught up in this charade of will we won't we and how secret can we keep this. I did love Thatchers soft side the best.

I will never regret that I decided to take a chance on this Charmed in Texas series. It's seriously the gift that keeps on giving, each book offering its own spin on the same sort of quirky charm and heartfelt emotion that has been the hallmark of the series for me. I've loved each one for different reasons and in different ways, and A Charm Like You is no exception.

Gabi and Thatcher were a long slow burn. Honestly, Ms. Lovelace kept these two dancing around each other while their chemistry sparked and sizzled for what felt like forever. From the moment of their unusual meet-cute, the connection between them was glaringly obvious, and it stayed true for the entirety of the story, even if it took them a while to recognize it themselves. And they were adorable together, their banter and interactions causing endless smiles, even when they were frustrating the heck out of me.

The small town quirkiness and hints of mysticism that I have loved so much in this series are also present here. The secondary characters always delight, although this time they also packed a bit of a punch. There were tears. And then there was laughter through the tears. And that, I think, is the magic in Ms. Lovelace's writing. There are all these emotions, and you sometimes feel them all at the same time, and they all feel so true. It's a wonderful thing to experience, and it ensures that I will always be back for more.

A Charm Like You read like the last book in the series and, while my eyes are filled with happy tears because of all the wonderful closure, I still somehow sincerely hope that this is not the end. I would return to Charmed a thousand times over to spend more time with these fantastic characters. This was another easy five stars for me!

A Charm Like You – the latest installment in Sharla Lovelace’s Charmed series also feels somehow like it’s the last. I mean, there’s a development near the end that feels like a CLOSURE to all the Charmed couples that have been introduced since Lanie and Nick in A Charmed Little Lie last year. Of course, I am not really updated with news, so maybe I’m mistaken.

Anyway, A Charm Like You brings us Gabi Graham. She’s Micah’s best friend – heroine from book #4. When this book starts, Gabi is not exactly in the good place in her life. Her marriage is going down the drain. Her cheating husband is marrying a younger woman that Gabi uses to babysit (!) and she is also pregnant. Gabi cannot have children -- which is another reason why this divorce hurts. On top of that, her husband lets their house go into foreclosure, which makes Gabi practically homeless.

The only silver lining for Gabi is the potential to have no-string-attached sex with this Hot Guy she meets at divorce support group. Without knowing each other’s name, it’ll be perfect distraction, right?

Until she finds out Hot Guy’s real identity… Thatcher Roman… as in her best friend’s older brother as well as Gabi’s own silent partner.

I think A Charm Like You is definitely my favorite book of the series!! I love Gabi!! I mean, with everything that happens to her, she still held her head up. She still has humor. She still has spirit and guts. Basically, Gabi still rocks.

Yeah, so maybe Gabi is playing a little push and pull with Thatcher, but I can’t really blame her. With her life falling apart, Gabi is scared that she will lose Micah and her business if this ‘new thing’ with Thatcher doesn’t work out.

Oh, Gabi and Thatcher also have SPARKS people!! Their chemistry is strong and I LOVE it when they discover each other’s identity because it provides great sexual frustrating moments *laugh*

Like I said in the beginning, there’s a development near the end which brings TEARS to my face. It has something to do with one eccentric older character that has been around, I think, since the first book as well. If this is a sign that the series is ending, I’m quite happy with it. Although I hope Ms. Lovelace continues with Jackson Roman’s story – and maybe this time have the story from BOTH hero and heroine’s perspectives.

I started reading this book come to discover that it is part of a series and I was way left behind. This apparently is the 5th book, and you know what you kind of needed to read the others to know what was really happening. That said the book wasn't bad it was actually captivating, but Gabi drove me a little nuts I mean I felt bad for her and everything that she went thru that was heartbreaking. But her back and forth with Thatcher kind of drove me up the wall, I guess it comes because I am pretty much a decisive person that when I have others in a see-saw bugs me but I tried to give her a break again due to the craziness her life went thru, however I wont be reading the beginning of the books not that interested.

The problem with staring a series at book 5, is that you have huge gaps of not only the characters in the previous stories, but also about their lives and the interactions amongst themselves.
Sadly , that was the case for me in this story.
I didn’t really get into the book until half way through.
All that said, the main plot was very touching. Gabi Graham and Thatcher Roman are two individuals that have lost in love , are trying to find a way to move forward, and meet by chance in a support group. Little did they know that 1- their chemistry would be instantaneous, and 2- that their lives were already intertwined.
It was at times, heartbreaking, but also funny, and heartwarming.
Because of the gaps, it was a 3.5 for me. But since that’s on me, and I respect the efforts authors put into their trade, I will give it a 4 star rating.
I was entrusted this copy by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

“Comfortable can be dangerous.” “It can slap you upside the head when you aren’t looking.”

A Charm Like You is the second book in the Charmed Series, but can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. This is my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last.

From the moment I picked up this book, I fell in love with the characters. Gabi is down on her luck and just trying to make the best out of the cards she’s been dealt lately. The last thing she ever planned on was another chance at love. And when Thatcher enters the picture, all bets are off. He makes her want to take a chance and throw all her reservations out the window.

Overall, I thought this book was a really enjoyable read. Definitely one that you can finish in a single sitting. I enjoyed the story-line and had a great timing meeting and falling for the characters. I adored Gabi and Thatcher together. I enjoyed their banter and how they just got and understood one another. I loved how important their families and friends were to them and how they didn’t want to disappoint them. Sure these two made me a little crazy at times, but I honestly couldn’t get enough. I thought that Gabi & Thatcher had excellent chemistry and I loved watching the two of them try to figure things out.

A Charm Like You is a great book to spend the day getting lost in. It will make you crazy. It will make you laugh. It will make you swoon and most of all it will make you fall in love. I had a really great time getting to know Gabi & Thatcher and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Gabi and Thatcher’s story appears to be the last is the Charmed, Texas series. Gabi is newly divorced, after finding her husband inflagrante with an intern who she once babysat. Thatcher is her best friend’s brother whom Gabi had yet to meet. They first met at a support group for divorcees, and were instantly attracted to one another. Despite the attraction, Gabi didn’t believe she was ready to get serious. Needless to say, she did eventually change her mind. This final book also gave the author the opportunity to check in with the couples from the earlier books in the series. This was a quick, often funny, and all around sweet story.

What a little gem this book is. Sharla brings to the characters to life. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Gabi and Thatcher, the one liners had me grinning. So emotional in other places. Definitely going to search out the other charmed books. Not reading them before this didn't spoil my enjoyment of this book.
