Can't Stop Lovin' You (Maverick Junction Book #3) by Lynette Austin
• Forgiveness
   Always so much emotion within these stories, I love it..... Just not the family asking if I'm ok🙂, but it's worth it! I absolutely LOVE this series, and yes....I fell in love with Maverick Junction right along with Lynette. Now I need to see about her other books! 
   What does it take to move on from the one you thought you'd spend your life with since grades school? Especially after you left town to make it big in the big city, but then realizing what you really wanted and needed was at home right in front of you. What can you do go get that back? How about being  the one who was left behind? Your heart is still broken and you cannot seem to put it back together completely, especially after your heart-shatterer returns home for good just as you're moving to the big city yourself. That's exactly what's happening with Maggie and Brawley. It's obvious to everyone around them they've got some pretty strong feelings toward each other, not to mention the fiery chemistry. But will their timing ever be right? They can't go back, but can they find a way to go forward together? Be prepared with another box of tissues when you sit down to read this book... Ok the while series, which I wholeheartedly recommend rating!! The gamut of emotion is amazing! Another fantastic HEA love story.  I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours for an honest blog tour review.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

This book was originally published back in 2014 but is being re-released from Forever Romance this July! With that, this is a wonderfully sweet little romance novel that had my heart beating a mile a minute. How I have never heard of this book OR the author before now is a mystery to me but I can say with a smile on my face that I will be picking up more of her books in the future based on this one. It's a charming little number and left me feeling really good when I finished reading it. 

I would very much recommend this novel to those who enjoy sweet, contemporary, and second chance romances! Also, if you like quirky little towns that make you want to go and visit them then would also tell you to give this one a try!

Here's a case where you just can't stop at one. No sooner did I get started with this book then I just knew I had to search out the other books in this series. This book totally stands on its own merit but it was like opening a bag of potato chips, you just needed one more. 

As fast paced a romance novel as I've ever read. Definitely had me turning pages to see where this wonderful couple was going to wind up. For me CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU was a very welcoming introduction to Lynnette Austin. Just another perk for reviewers discovering still another author to include on the must read list. 

Young love is wonderful but it usually is hard pressed to have the staying power needed for a long term relationship. Its future always seems questionable at best. There is always the possibility of that spark blowing out even if the flame seems so bright. The people in this small Texas town of Maverick Junction were pretty certain that their Maggie Sullivan and Brawley Odell were destined to be together.

For Maggie and Brawley it would seem the blush of young love just didn't have staying power at all. Their futures seemed to be apart, not as a couple. Truly sad since their love and attraction was so strong. But their youth and immaturity were at odds with the chance that this love had any possible way to survive. Both were about to embark on the voyage to follow their dreams and it seems that these dreams had no place in this small Texas town. Following the dream meant leaving everything they knew and loved behind. 

Sometimes you have to do the unthinkable in order to help that special someone follow their dream even if initially it means possibly breaking their heart. Young hearts do mend and disappointment is part of life. For Brawley this breakup with his soul mate fiery Maggie was just temporary. Just until both had a chance to experience life and go after their goals. In his mind they would reconnect at some later time. Well at least that’s what he told himself. But you see as far as Maggie was concerned Brawley left her behind and broken hearted. She had several issues to deal with after his abrupt departure. 

Neither Maggie nor Brawley were ready to really make a forever commitment under usual circumstances that would be readily accepted considering their ages. But as it turned out these were not usual at least not for Maggie.

Fast forward now as adults and back in Maverick Junction Brawley realizes his heart still belongs to Maggie. But Maggie is now ready to spread her wings and take flight to New York to launch her own line of clothing. Brawley is back to stay fully committed to his job as town vet. Once again their paths are diverging. 

Maggie feels she has constructed a well-deserved wall around her heart as far as Brawley is concerned but his return to town is definitely putting her in an awkward position. Life in a small town means that their paths would continually cross. But Maggie was leaving and determined to go with her heart intact. 

Brawley on the other hand has to face facts that perhaps his chance at a future with Maggie is impossible. He is going to take the high road or is he. Love is worth fighting for even if all the odds are not in your favor. 

CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU is an extraordinarily well written story filled with just the right amount of angst to keep you interested from beginning to end. Austin creates a lovely town with intriguing characters who will win your heart. Austin’s lively, witty and engaging dialog rounds out a well-constructed book.

Can't Stop Lovin' You is a beautifully written story of second chances. Not only a second chance at love, but also a second chance at friendship. I love second chance romances. When two characters have a rocky history with one another, it makes for a powerful romance. Watching one character in the relationship do whatever is necessary to make amends with their love always makes me smile when they are able to get past their differences and fall in love. Lynnette Austin's book was all that and so much more. It is the third book in her Maverick Junction series (and I do recommend starting from the first book) so I had a little bit of an awkward first couple of chapters. Since I haven't read the first books, I found that this one started rather abruptly. With that said, I loved the beginning scene. Holy cow, did it show how much Brawley loved Maggie. The man was on a mission. Brawley and Maggie broke my heart so many times. These are two characters that deeply want to forget their past and move on. Maggie is guarded, but she still feels drawn to Brawley. She gives in to their love only to remember how heart broken she was when Brawley left and her guard goes right back up. Brawley's reaction to her pushing him away after their moments of passion nearly killed me. In the end, both characters realize that they have to follow their dreams in order to find happiness within. Brawley had to do it when he was 18 and now it is Maggie's turn. It hurts Brawley to watch her go, but it turns out for the best. That doesn't mean he won't find a way to visit her, because he does and it was awfully cute!

I loved everything Can't Stop Lovin' You had to offer. I adored the characters, both main and secondary. I loved the story and the fact that Maggie doesn't let Brawley get off easy for breaking her heart. The story broke my heart and pieced it back together.
