Champagne Kisses

Hot in Magnolia

By: Minette Lauren

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke

After crashing her minivan into Hank's Honkey-Tonk, Lexi finds herself with a double shot of whiskey and an intoxicating man by her side. Down on her luck and with a ranch that’s bleeding her dry, Lexi can’t imagine what sexy bar owner, Noah Harding, sees in her. But, after only one night out, they’re rumpling her sheets, and already having their first test of wills…

Author’s note: This is a free prequel. Noah and Lexi’s romance continues in book 4, Gingerbread Kisses.

Sweet Prequel

I’ll preface with this is not an HEA, it’s a prequel and origin novella for the Hot in Magnolia series. I love a unique meet-cute and Lexi & Noah’s is one of the best! If you enjoy a sweet single mom and a broody military vet, you’ll love this short, sweet & steamy romance. It’s quirky, cute, and will make your heart ache for their HEA.

Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor are stunning in this series. It was wonderful to revisit Magnolia and all the charming characters in this series prequel, Champagne Kisses. Jason is broody and swoony as Noah the kind, chivalrous, grumpy vet. Samantha is beguiling as the relatable, frazzled, cute single mom Lexi. I love this duo, I seriously can’t get enough! Listening to Champagne Kisses makes me want to marathon the entire series all over again!
