Southern Storms #2
Twist of Fate
❤️❤️❤️ “Just a few yards ahead of her, the pines snapped in half like twigs. She braced herself. “Oh my God, oh my God!� was all she could utter when she saw the twister…� � Excerpt from Twist of Fate
It took a sudden heart attack and a long-coming diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for Dr. Cody Walker to admit he had to turn his life around and practice what he had preached all these years as a physician.
With a second chance at life, he moves from Atlanta to the small town of Magnolia Hill to take over old Doc Porter’s practice. But saving his patients—and himself—from the grim outlook of preventable chronic diseases is easier said than done when Jenna’s cupcake bakery across the street from his practice is testing his—and his patients’—willpower to resist her sweet temptations.
Jenna Wilson’s dream of owning a successful cupcake bakery had finally come true. However, that dream shatters when the grumpy new doctor in town accuses her of poisoning his diabetic patients with her sugary treats and threatens to shut down her shop.
But when a natural disaster strikes close to home, they are forced to challenge their beliefs. Is there any hope Cody and Jenna can work out their differences and maybe even find love in this grumpy/sunshine enemies to lovers sweet romance?
If you enjoy clean, just kisses romances, charming characters, a small-town feel, and the excitement of stormy weather, then you'll love Lexie Nicholas's Southern Storms novels.
***All books in this series can be read as standalone stories, but they are much more fun if you read them in order.

Do you enjoy sitting out on your back porch, sipping on tea, and watching afternoon storms roll in? Yes? Then we're kindred spirits and you'll love the unruly weather in my Southern Storms series that complicates things considerably for the main characters in my novels.
I live with my hubby smack-dab in the middle of the beautiful state of Alabama. Although it gets hot and muggy in the summer where we live, the beach and inspiration for my next novels are only a weekend trip away.
Not sure if Magnolia Hill and the town's charming characters are your cup of tea? Read Flood Waters, a Southern Storms novella, for free right here: . Flood Waters is exclusive to my email-list subscribers, but you can always click the unsubscribe link if you don't want to receive future emails.

Twist of Fate was one of my most anticipated releases of 2021. I had the honor of reading it before it comes out on June 24th.
This book is one of the best romance contemporary books I have read in a while. I loved the inclusiveness of this book. We get our main character who has diabetes which is something I have not really seen before.
The enemies to lovers aspect was such much fun to read about. Something I love about Lexie's books is they are realistic! The romance was so sweet and swoon-worthy.
I loved seeing the well-loved characters from Hurricane Beach (book one).
Lexie's writing is relatable and detail orientated without being info-dumping.
I cannot wait for you to read this amazing Hallmark esc book with romance, cupcakes, a tornado, and much more!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

An education
While this book was entertaining I also learned a lot about diabetes. I am not a diabetic but am overweight and disabled. I've been looking up things Lrxie wrote about and have decided she did her homework and she made me want to change the way I eat. Thank you for this book.
