I really, really enjoyed this book. I have read a few of Jessica Peterson's books and she is quickly working her way up my must read list.
Southern Charmer has great characters that are fun and charming. Eli has swoon in spades and Olivia is the woman I want to be when I grow up. I felt the connection instantly and I was so lost in the story that I read it in one sitting.
This is really just a great book. There isn't a ton of drama and the characters feel genuine in a way that draws you in until you are wholly invested in their story. The author does such a great job of writing the city of Charleston that I dare you to not want to visit when you've turned the lat page.
