Marina Adair has become one of my favorite authors and loved this book. Jace and Charlotte were great and the scene in the lake was the best. When you add in all of those southern grandmothers and of course Woolamenia and Spencer in a dress you have a wonderful story. There is humor, romance, southern sass and sex. Not sure if there will be another book but JD and Spencer would certainly be very interesting.
It's not everyday that you get a second chance at love, and for Jace McGraw he has chosen to take full advantage of his second opportunity at a chance to be with the love of his life. When he married his wife four years ago, he knew she was the one he was meant to spend the rest of his life with, however, he chose to walk away from her because he thought he would be the one thing to hold her back from achieving her goals. He walked away without so much as a goodbye, and completely broke his wife's heart. After finding out their annulment papers weren't filed correctly, and that their actually still married, he figures he now has the chance to prove to her that the spark between them is still there, and is hoping she'll let him back into her life. But how do you win someone's heart back in three weeks, when they want nothing to do with you? Fate has stepped in and given Jace a second chance to right a wrong he made four years ago, question is can he win her back in time, or will history repeat itself and have him walking away once again ... Charlotte Holden is a successful doctor who has everything she ever wanted in life, except a special someone to spend her life with, she's tried but no one quite measures up to the bad boy who stole her heart four years ago. With her overbearing parents constantly intruding in her life, her father's high expectations and her mom's incessant need to try to set her up with someone, Charlotte is completely overwhelmed and in dire need of being rescued. As if on cue, the bad boy who walked away with her heart four years ago is back in Sugar and determined to win back her affections, only she isn't too willing to give him another chance to break what's left of her heart... I knew from the very beginning Jace would be my favorite McGraw brother, and after paragraph into this story he completely cemented a spot in my heart. He was everything I thought he'd be and so much more, Ms. Adair completely outdid herself with him! This is one series you MUST add to the top of your reading list, the folks of Sugar, Georgia will have you laughing, smiling and blushing the whole way through!

Reviewed by Angela and posted at Under The Covers Book Blog Something about reading Marina Adair’s Sugar town always gives me the warm fuzzy feelings. No matter how much I want to fight it, in the end, happy and sad tears manage to fall my face. This third installment of Sugar, Georgia is about the youngest McGraw brother who has been away since the death of their parents. However, Jace McGraw is back in town due to business matters aka his wife. So happens that their marriage is not annulled as expected. Sugar’s Medical Director, Charlotte Holden had no idea of her marriage status. She thought her marriage was annulled years back but when she sees Jace, she finds out their marriage is still in tact as well as their strong feelings for each other. Marina did a suhweet job on this book. It was full of feels; be it family, brotherly, or romantic feels. She wrote a fantastic second-chance story stuffed with love, loss, and new beginnings. Of course, it had it’s humor and sexy moments. I’m not going to lie, I honestly did not expect to love this book…this much. Jace touched my heart to the core. This man is both simple yet amazing. He has so much more to him than meets the eye. And the love and attraction between Charlotte and Jace was just so strong you’ll wonder why they split up to begin with. It was fate, though. I think the separation gave them time to mature and in the end learning to appreciate the important things in life. Especially Jace. Coming back to Sugar made him realize what he’s been missing. His story of coming back home truly brought me to tears. Kudos Marina, a job well done.
Charlotte Holden, the prim and proper pediatrician of Sugar, Georgia is in for a big surprise…. Her short-lived marriage to the town bad-boy, Jace McGraw, was never really annulled. Uh-oh! This can’t be happening.. not when she is at a major crossroads in her career and the future of the town clinic is on the line. She has too much riding on getting funding for the expansion of the pediatric wing to deal with the “marriage” that she thought was over, and to deal with the oh so sexy mechanic husband she thought she was over! Jace has arrived in Sugar to dissolve the marriage and then head back to Atlanta to get on with his life and his dream of owning a high-end auto repair business. One little problem gets in his way… he realizes still loves Charlotte and he has three weeks to prove to her that they belong together. The path to their HEA involves a Founders Day celebration, a love sick sheep named Woolamena, classic cars and the local debutante group known as the Sugar Peaches. Lots of laughs, some tears and some sexy scenes are thrown in along the way as well. Take time to read this book… it is the third in this series and I would recommend the first two books as well. Looking forward to the next series from this author.
I loved this book #3 in the sugar series. Charlotte and Jace sizzle so much the pages burn. Charlotte the town pediatrician is involved with the Grow clinic, not really involved with anyone until Jace shows up on the scene with news about the marriage and annulment that occurred in the past. Read on to see how the story carries on, heartwarming and steamy as Marina does with her books. You will love this book and series, it will be a keeper on your shelf to be read many times over.
