Once a Charmer (Charmed in Texas #3)
by
Sharla Lovelace
From the first book in this series to this one it has been a
wonderful ride that has kept me entertained laughing, chuckling and smiling the
whole way through. The author gives you excitement
with a little mystery and some downright hilarious moments. This is one story I had no trouble relating to
since my husband and I were best friends long before we started dating. I went through
a lot of what Allie did not wanting to lose my best bud and afraid to take that
next step. There are a lot of what ifs that must be weighed out before you can
make a jump like this. Angel is so much a teen girl but really funny as she
gets her mother in hot water more than once. Although this was a very fun read
that makes you laugh there are some very touching heartbreaking ones that keep
you on the edge. One with Angel that any mother can relate to and most would
have liked to have killed when this plays out. Balie adds
so much to this story as he has the touch that really complicates issues but at
the same times makes things work out. Whatever you do don’t let this man touch
you unless you are ready for a wild ride of mystery that is life changing. Lange I didn’t care for and felt he deserved
what he got he was a totally DH …well you get the picture.
My heart went out to Allie living in a
small town and having a baby so young, unmarried, having the town look down on
her was just heartbreaking. Having gone all the way with just one male ending
with a baby on the way turned her into a lose women that she just felt she
never could overcome. She has built her life around this walking the line and
never enjoying life. As life takes a turn she finds Bash is all she thinks
about. In the last book of this series she runs to him when she thinks he might
be killed and lays a lip lock right on him. This is where this book starts off
with the fallout from that wild, sexy kiss.
Bash is hanging by lose ends not
knowing how to deal with it all. OH yes he has the hots for one sexy best
friend but since the kiss he is finding it hard to find a norm. One sexy man on
the loose trying to play it cool just isn’t cutting it. One mess after another falls
at his feet but the one thing that never changes is Allie and Angel are his
family and he would kill to keep them safe. I love how protective he is of them and how he
deals with Aaron what just sweet, loving and so dang funny. Angel does break
his heart but when push comes to shove they make a wonderful team that can’t be
broken.
It was a pleasure watching these characters
dance around each other as the town watches why pushing and pulling them. There
is no secret that these two have chemistry they seem to be the only one who
doesn’t know the lay of the land. I really enjoyed the romance, the mystery and
how the town reacts when things come to a head. I loved the ending and the
humor Bash adds to it. The buildup of the romance is hot, delightful and
smooth. I just loved when they finally come together with left steam on my
glasses. This is one author that charms her way right into your heart from the
little town to the wonderful characters in it. You laugh with them and at times
you cry with them. A lot of thought went into writing this series bring you
humor, love, mystery and giving you heart stopping moments. I really doubt you
can read it and not laugh yourself silly at some point. I cannot wait to see
what the next book brings I know it will be full of delight, heartbreak and
humor.

Summary
Charmed, Texas, is a close-knit small town where
people’s dreams of love can come true. That’s not to say that some people
aren’t still waiting, and dreaming . . .
By day, Allie Greene stays busy with her family diner, and keeping tabs on her teenage daughter. What’s really exhausting Allie, however, are the nights. Not that she minds Bash Anderson unbuttoning her naughty desires—if only in her dreams. But what was he doing there at all? He’s her best friend, and a father figure to her girl. Talk about awkward. Talk about OMG-heat-and-fireworks that are flipping fifteen years of normal upside down. And now, when Allie needs him as a friend more than ever, logic doesn’t stand a chance against his lips and irresistible deep-blue eyes . . .
Sure, Bash has fantasized about Allie, but there’s no way he’d act on it. She and her daughter are the closest thing to family he’s ever known. With the exception of one drunken moment fifteen years ago, he and Allie have stayed on this side of the line—until that impulsive kiss of hers knocked him on his butt. That’s just one hurdle. Not only does Allie need Bash’s help to save her diner, but his apiary is in trouble, too. To stir the pot further, they’ve been roped into vying for the town’s Honey King and Queen contest—a sweet event that’s making them closer than ever. Something’s bound to come undone. Bash just hopes it’s not the friendship he’s worked so hard to hold on to.
