I have read several of the books from the Dare River series & thoroughly enjoyed each one. This one is a dedication of strong women & families that survive domestic abuse. I know that sounds like the book would be a real downer, but that isn’t true at all it’s actually more of a triumph that celebrates the women brave enough to get out of that situation & truly make a life for themselves & their children. I highly recommend this book.

Great book. Loved the character development and family values, The domestic violence issues were difficult to read but I realize it is a very real issue today.

Thank you for writing about the horribleness of domestic violence and that there is support n places for these women to go to. Hopefully women find their strength to escape.

Love the characters of this book series. I usually don’t enjoy series of books...too much of the same story. I’ve enjoyed these though. Very moving characters and family.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming. A definite must read.

Excellent book with a heartbreaking story. I love romance novels but this book has so much than that. I am not a person that normally cries with movies or stories but I was so moved but the story that I couldn't help myself I had tears running as I read. Highly recommend this book as well as the other two in the series. My compliments to the writer.

Best one yet of this series. Can't wait for the next book!

I loved this book, and the story and connection with all of the characters! It brings to light the many issues that families can experience no matter what their lifestyles are. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and look forward to the story of Jake and Sussanna.

This is my favorite book so far. As I was reading this book their family became my family. I felt their love, hurt, I cried with them and laughed. I felt like I knew these abused families stories. This really hit home. Thank you for writing this of Family struggles and love, forgiveness. Have a tissue handy. Many many tears. Both happy and sad. Thank you Ava Miles.

Amelia Ann Hollins is a law student keeping two very large secrets from her family: one that could destroy her family, and one that could risk her life. Clayton Chandler is the co-manager of his best friend's, Rye Crenshaw, music career, preparing to take on full responsibility as his mother is retiring. They have a mutual attraction that Amelia Ann keeps pursuing and Clayton keeps avoiding...until the attraction burns too bright to be ignored. "Fireflies and Magnolias" is a beautiful story, bringing to light an all-too-frequent travesty in our world: domestic violence. Ms. Miles did a wonderful job weaving romance with the heart-breaking situations that occur every single day but are too often swept under the rug. She provided inspiration by sharing the triumphs of women who escaped their lives of domestic terror. Reading this book did not send me into gales of laughter or sobbing (almost) uncontrollably like many of the author's other books; but it left me feeling inspired, hopeful, and determined to help make a better future for those that have been victims of domestic violence. It is a truly beautiful book. I cannot wait to see what new adventures her next book brings! Please note: I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.
