Maggie is moving on! She has another man that is showing interest in her and she is trying her best to hate John. No matter how hard Murphy\u2019s law tries to take her down, John is always her saving grace&#8230;.well, sorta. He is the man that Maggie loves to hate. They are both \u201cfinding themselves\u201d with a hilarious love\/hate relationship. It is fast paced and incredibily witty. No matter what the two of them do they are drawn to each other and are a huge part of each other\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was one perk of living alone; I could wear whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. As long as my blinds were closed, I could prance around naked, and no one could complain. Though, I probably shouldn\u2019t prance as it would likely lead to some sort of mortal head wound. Maybe a light gallop? A skip? Either way, I could be naked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure when the dynamic had shifted between us. In the span of two days, John had taken every pre-conceived and hard-earned notion I had about him, tossed it in a blender, and poured out a blurred mess of indiscernible chaos. I had no idea what to do with the kinder, more open John. So what if I\u2019d been trying to tear down that stupidly reinforced wall of his, I didn\u2019t expect it to ever work. Now that it had, I wasn\u2019t sure what to do with the rubble, let alone what lay beneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am all about the funny and cute and this is exactly what this is. Love the Maggie Moore series and can\u2019t wait to see what other shenanigans comes her way!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/about-the-author.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7206\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7206\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about-the-author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michelle Graves is a self-proclaimed nomad, moving every two to three years with her husband the Army man, her beautiful daughter, and a fat tailless cat named Torri.
