Finding Hayes is a stunningly beautiful conclusion to this absolutely wonderful series! Laura Pavlov has truly created something that has touched my heart and will live in my mind. Pavlov's Magnolia Falls series is everything I would want in a small town, found family romance series, centering around a strong and binding male friendship. Pavlov's writing is engaging, humorous and meaningful, sweetly romantic, and sizzling with bold and clear characters. I have loved each installment in this series, I have fallen in love with these men, this town, and the tight knit family they are building around each other. Pavlov's skill is so evident throughout and if you like to fall head over heels in your romances then you should definitely do yourself a favor and pick up with series!

It has been 15 years and Savannah is back in town after the passing of a grandfather like figure to her who has left her will a large inheritance and a certain condition in order to have the transfer of all the assets. Laura Pavlov lays out this marriage of convenience story with the perfect about of mystery around why there was a falling out and a very clear tension of underlaying chemistry that draws these two back into each others orbit.
Savannah and Hayes are clearly made for each other. Pavlov is able to easily convey the deepness of their relationship from the past as well as the connect they still have and easily fall into. Their banter sparks with feelings, their understanding of each other drives their decisions, their newly growing trust beautiful lends to the deep and abiding feelings they have always had for each other. Their relationship is easy, and their feelings are true. So as these two work through various obstacles it is evident that they only want the best for the other and the other person's dreams to come true. I loved watching these two reaffirm their relationship with each other, I loved watching them work through their wants and needs, I loved seeing them find a balance with each other that just deepens their relationship and love for the other more. Pavlov show the strength of this romance in the soft moments, in the care they show, the strength of communication, and the celebration of building a life with each other.
I can not recommend this novel highly enough, do yourself a favor and discover the beautiful with in on your own! And if you have not read the other's in this series I am sure you will be drawn to read them. It is always a little bittersweet seeing a series come to an end, but Pavlov has done a lovely job laying the seeds for her next series.
