I was sucked right into this book. It is part of the Carolina Magnolia Series and is book 1 of the series. There are 3 other books in the series. They are want I want to read, but will have to wait until my lovely husband is on his regular schedule at his new job, plus we get our bills caught up, before I can buy them. Dixie Rebel I downloaded for free from amazon.com a month or so ago. It is now $0.99. The other are $3.99 or more. Those will go on my list to buy. Now that is a long list, but will get bought since I am an avid reader.
Maya Alyssum is running her sister's shop while she is incarcerated for drugs. She is also caring for her nephew Matty, as well as trying to keep herself afloat alone with her own baby due in a few weeks. She had come into Wadeville, NC from CA with only a few items. She also got together with a local when she moved to town, and they opened a school for after regular school called The Impossible Dream. It is a place where all kids can go no mater how much money or how little money or how smart or learning level they are at, to feel as if they belong and that their dreams can come true.
Axell Holm is the council board and the Mayor wants him to get Maya to shut down the school she is running because he wants the land the mansion is on for a road he wants to put in that will go to the shopping center he has plans to put in. When Axell walks into the shop he isn't sure what to expect but he doesn't expect to be attracted to a pregnant Maya. He denies to himself that he is attracted to her. Talks to her about being on her side of not allowing the mayor to take away her school.
A few weeks go by with a little communication between the 2 and Maya's sister's store gets condemned and she is staying on the top floors of the mansion when it rains and floods the road to the school. It is then she notices that her baby hasn't moved much and she has been having back pain, which she think is just a normal thing for her. Then her water breaks. Believing the whole first babies take a while to come she thinks she has plenty of time to find help to get to the hospital. That's when she hears Axell downstairs. He find her trying to get things to leave. He orders her to lay down and he calls for help also asks what he needs to do in case the help doesn't get there in time.
After delivering Maya's baby he thinks the best solution for them is for he and Maya to marry and conquer things together. Her with her school and him with his liquor license on the line.
Do they get married? If they do, do they fall for each other and reveal their true feeling s for each other? What happens to the store, restaurant, and school? To find out you will have to read for yourself Dixie Rebel by Patricia Rice.
