A love as sweet and seductive as the magnolias and peachtrees
of Georgia . . .
Atlanta in 1900 was a city of contrasts: a bustling place where commerce and high society flourished amid the languid rhythms of the sultry South. Claire Lang loved her life there, but one man's presence unsettled her very soul. John Hawthorn's dark eyes and lean, handsome face captivated Claire more than she wanted to admit. And when tragedy struck, Claire found herself desperate enough to marry him--a man who didn't love her . . . a man she loved passionately.
As the fragrant scent of the magnolia wafted on warm breezes, Claire aroused fierce, unexpected desires in her elusive husband. And once she had tasted his kisses and savored his lovemaking, she dared to fight for him as a sizzling scandal threatened to engulf them and the love she began to believe could be theirs. . . .

WOW! I love almost all of diana palmer's books, and try really hard to find them whenever possible. So, I found this book in a used book store today, and immediately started reading - and read until I finished it.
This book kept me thoroughly entranced. Not only is there a romance, but there is a budding entrepeneur and a crime to follow. The characters were very well developed, and I felt like I was in the room with them.
This book made me laugh and cry, and I really enjoyed it.

John and Clarie are perfect for one another (although it takes John a little while to realize this fact). The emotional aspects in this book were wonderful and increasingly hard to find in more recent romances. I liked the fact that the conflict was in the characters' relationship as well as outside of it. I highly recommend.

Magnolia was a great read. I couldn't put down. Claire and John are such appealing characters. I have read it over and over again, and it't just as good as the first time.
