I only gave this book 1 star because I couldn't give it less. Pathetically, this is a series of books trying to attain the following and acclaim of the wonderful Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. This series revolves around a group of women, and their daughters in S. Carolina called The Sweet Magnolias. They stick their noses into each other's love lives and do things that would make me pack up and leave town. It's not a group of friends so much as a cult of women making sure none of the others a...more
I picked up this one and Honeysuckle Summer when I seen them at Goodwill purely because I read Home in Carolina awhile back. That one wasn't bad, and I found myself wanting to read about Annie's two friends. I liked Sarah, and I can relate to the feelings of being inadequate and fat, though my guy never tells me I am like her ex-husband did. I was glad to see Walter come around and realize how much of a jerk he was, and the scene where he finally recognizes his baby daughter's love instead of ju...more
This book is the second in a set of three about the second generation of "Sweet Magnolias." This book revolves around Sarah Price, a mentally abused wife and Mother of two. The story tells of Sarah's getting a job, her dignity, and her spirit back after her divorce.
Sarah meets ex-baseball player, Travis and goes to work at his new radio station in Serenity, SC. I enjoyed the book until around page 268. Then, I have to tell you that I was simply worn out about needy Sarah and told myself if she b...more

I liked this one, but got tired of the same issues that the last book touched on, cheating and womanizing. I especially hated that Annie was right there putting doubt in Sarah’s ear. It smacked a little too much of a double standard, especially with what happened with Annie and Ty.
I really liked seeing Sarah grow surer of herself and even stand up to Walter. I was surprised at how much my feelings for Walter changed, that I even started to like him. He was trying so hard to change and for the mo...more

Sweet Tea at Sunrise is a feel good, heartfelt, chicken soup for the soul kind of romance. Free of unrealistic drama, and unnecessary twists that can serve to intrigue or exasperate the reader. As a trade off for predictability, knowing what is in store can be comforting and allow ourselves to focus more on the characters than figuring the next big scene of an ambitious plot.

This book was a nice respite from all the heavy literature I've been reading. However, it is very predictable. For me, there were way too many characters. I had to keep backtracking to figure out who was related or who a person was. I'm sure that if I started with the first book in the series this would have been less confusing.
The main character suffers from way too much self-doubt. And instead of facing her problems head-on, she just kept avoiding them. I also didn't like how her friends kept...more

This is a beautiful contemporary romance. We're introduced to Sarah Price. A recent divorcee and mother of two, who wanted a clean slate from her messy divorce to her home in Serenity, South Carolina. I, as a reader, rallied for Sarah. My heart broke, when she endured such a hardship from her husband Walter and his verbal abuse. We witness her low self-esteem and having no trust for me. When Travis enters into Sarah's life, we can really see the sparks flying between the two in a hate/love relat...more
I am a huge fan of Sherryl Woods and have been known to scour bookstores on days of new releases to get her books. However, this book, in the long line of Sweet Magnolias, lacked something. I am still trying to figure out what that "something" was. There was a lack of credibility from Walter's character - why would he change so quickly? I didn't buy Travis' attraction to Sarah - it seemed pretty convenient. There was no build up of a relationship with Travis and Sarah's children. It was all wrap...more
This was a pleasure read, so this won't be a full review. I love Sherrl Woods' books. She writes with an old fashioned grace and wit, plus the southern themes feel like home. Though I liked this book, I just don't feel the hero and heroine had enough conflict, so it made the story drag a bit, or feel weak. This, in no way, deterred me from reading, but is mentionable. Essentially heroine went through a divorce and doesn't trust men, and hero is a confirmed bachelor with a track record. I'm glad...more

Biasa, kalau baca buku serial gak langsung baca terus menerus, daku langsung luoa ingatan ama cerita seri sebelumnya dan jadinya si buku berikut jadi berkesan datar datar aja. Kejadian juga ama buku ini.

Being in the mood to listen to an audio book, I chose this one "Sweet Tea at Sunrise" the only book I've read in this series. I was glad I chose to listen to it instead of reading the book. Frankly, it was very predictable.

2.5 stars
6th in the Sweet Magnolia series. (2nd in the 2nd trilogy of the next generation of Sweet Magnolias)
POV: 3rd person: Sarah, Travis, Walter
Sensuality: Warm
Sarah Price returned to Serenity when her marriage fell apart. She brought her two children and all the baggage her ex-husband left her. She has little self-esteem and doesn't think any man would want her.
Travis McDonald came to Serenity to figure out what to do with his life. He was a big-time ball-player just let go by the Red Sox. H...more

I have enjoyed all the Sweet Magnolia series, and, as with all her books, enjoy the characters and their interactions. While the support and help these unrelated people give to one another is well done and satisfied my feelings for them, I do identify more with the original friends than with these newer, younger women. That is probably a function of my age and relationship with my own closest friends, but the book was a fun read and the romances were a good mix of love and missed communications.
I picked this up before I realized it was part of a series. There was a lot about previous couples which made it drag a little for me. I liked the characters and enjoyed the story but by the time you get to #6 in the series there is a lot of background to cover and I was only really interested in the main characters. I don't know if I'll go back and read any of books 1-5 though.

I really liked this book. It was delightful. I mean, really delightful. I loved the pursuit of Sarah by Travis. It was awesome. The secondary plots were fleshed out well.
A couple of points I didn't like.
-Not a lot of description about the people involved. Sarah had blue eyes, was fat but isn't now, has frizzy hair on occasion; Travis had green eyes, dark hair, and is handsome. That's basically it unless I missed some details.
-It was a little hard to keep track of the characters. To be fair, thi...more

Sarah was one of Annie's high school friends. She's come home (in Annie's story) and divorced her belittling husband, and now is trying to build her life back, working as a waitress at the local drugstore/diner. Hero's a retired baseball player (there are an awful lot of them in this little town...) who's come to visit his cousin, and gets the idea to open a radio station--and thinks Sarah would be perfect on air.
Sherryl Woods brings you into the world of the Sweet Magnolias & makes you feel like one of the gang. Overall, this book was an enjoyable read despite the typical cheerful happy-ending formula that is found in many of Woods books. She always manages to create such likeable characters that when you put the book down you feel like your friend has moved away.
Another second generation Sweet Magnolia book - the story of Sarah Price and Travis McDonald, who work together in Serenity's new radio station. This is just an okay read. It required suspension of disbelief too many times, as with Walter's sudden transformation from abusive jerk to nice guy and harried single mother Sara's transformation from timid stay-at-home mom to radio personality. If this weren't part of a series I probably wouldn't have finished it.
When I bought this book, I didn't know it was a romance. I rarely read them. This is a light romance except for one sex scene. I thought it was well written, entertaining and not a nasty romance like you sometimes see. There was some sexual tension thoughout the book but it also had good family and friend relationships and humor.
This is the second tale of one of the younger generation of Sweet Magnolias. It was interesting to read about the young woman and how she was treated by her soon to be ex-husband and her new life to come. The author also shows us a little about being agoraphobic (one of the secondary characters) and how it afftects peoples lives.
I'm not liking these as much as the first three Sweet Magnolia books. I liked Sarah and Travis's story but I didn't like Annie at all in this book and missed having the original Sweet Magnolias as involved in the story. If I hadn't read the other books in the series first I probably would have enjoyed it much more.
The second book of this author/series I have read. I loved it just as much as the first. The characters were done well, the plot was well written, the ending was satisfying. One of the things I loved was that the characters from previous books were written into the storyline.
I liked this book. I really like the tightness of the friendship and families she's created in this town of Serenity. I did not like Travis. I thought I might like him better by the end of the book, but he was too all about himself for me.
Another great book in the Sweet Magnolias series. I really loved how the relationship between Travis and Sarah unfolded, I was rooting for her since she came back to the series. She had a hard life, and I wanted her to be happy in the end. I love my books with HEA endings. Sherryl Woods is phenomenal at creating an emotional story that drags you in and makes you hope for the best for the characters.
I also love being able to see past characters in the story.

I enjoy the friendship that is featured in Sherryl Woods' "sweet magnolias" series. It is so nice to read a book where the women stick up for each other and look out for each other.

With two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.
