Rene Folsom, author of contemporary and paranormal, lives in Florida with her husband and three kids. She has officially diagnosed herself with creative ADD and often has a million and one writing projects going at once. In addition to writing, she is also a graphic artist who enjoys creating custom book covers for indie authors. She is definitely an artist at heart and would love nothing more than to be elbow deep in clay during her waking hours.
Rene believes that all fiction is based on some form of reality—otherwise we would never have the inspiration or knowledge to dream up the realistic situations we portray with our words. She is proud to say that her personal experiences have been inspirational, though perhaps not always identical to that of her fictional characters. Where reality and fantasy diverge, however, must remain her little secret…

***I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review***
I've been a fan of Rene Folsom for years now and a new fan Juli Valenti since last year and I can honestly say I love this beautiful series they have created together. It's both romantic and steamy! I can't wait for the next installment of this wonderful series because I have come to admire both Cari and Josh. Their relationship is breathtaking and my day always brightens when I read a new adventure they go on. I want their kind of marriage in the future!!
In this installment of the Favorite Things series Cari get a surprise to remember when her husband Josh sets up a special day full of pampering and love. Josh shows her that, after years of marriage, and many hardships that the love that they had when they first married is still there and grows more by the day. And after Josh showers her with love and affection he'll show her how, even after years of marriage, their passion and chemistry is as strong as ever, in all aspects of their marriage.
Charming is my favorite book so far in the series! Out of the three books already out, this is the most romantic (Although they are all romantic) and the most heart-touching. I love Cari, she reminds me a lot of me, but Josh has to be my favorite character. Seriously, I wish more guys in the world could be like Josh! He's the perfect book husband/boyfriend. Cari is one lucky woman!!
I love this book! The storyline was beautiful and exciting, and I can't wait to read more from these two amazing authors! I highly recommend this book to everyone!
My favorite quotes:
"I loved it when he reached for me while sleeping, like his subconscious had to make sure I was still there. It was incredibly charming, showing me just how much he loved me, even in sleep."
"He'd given me more than I knew I wanted, yet there was one thing I wanted more...no...needed. I needed him. I needed Josh."
"Cari, I don't need a holiday to celebrate you in my life. I don't need a reason to want to pamper you. You're the most important person in my world, and you should feel cherished every day, because you are."

This is the third novella in the Favorite Things series. They do not need to be read in order. Each book is a favorite memory of Their relationship. If you want short, sweet, hot reads...Read these! You won't be disappointed.
These books show that no matter how long you've been married, or in a relationship, things don't have to get stale. You can still be adventurous, try new things, and be super sweet, and be surprised by your spouse.
Josh really shows his sweet side in this story. He shows how much he absolutely loves Cari, more than anything else. He puts her above all.
The day starts with the alarm waking Cari up, way too early on a Saturday morning. She gets up, only to be sent on a scavenger hunt of sorts. Her morning is filled with sweet things from Josh, and sweet notes. There isn't a special occasion, it's all "just because".
"Cari, I don't need a holiday to celebrate you in my life. I don't need a reason to want to pamper you. You're the most important person in my world, and you should feel cherished every day, because you are."
Oh Josh, I think everyone loves you and would love for their husband to be just like you!
I love these stories and, shhh don't tell anyone he will deny it, I have even gotten my husband to read the first two. He liked them.
I'm ready for the next one!

I didn't want it to be over!!! Charming was my favorite book in the Favorite Things series by authors Rene Folsom and Juli Valenti. These two writers work wonderfully together and what I like about each of the books so far, is that you cannot tell where one stopped & the other started writing. They both told Josh's & Cari's story with such passion, that I really enjoyed the journey in this book!
It is all too easy to get lost in life, with all our worries & responsibilities making us "too tired" and reluctant to take time out for ourselves & for each other. What I like about the Favorite Things series is that this loving couple, married many years, finds many ways to spice it up! And in Charming, Josh makes Cari feel like she's a Queen. And boy does it get hot too! :::::blush:::::: Great job, Rene and Juli! I can't wait for the next one in the series!!!!

I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review. I have been a Rene Folsom fan for a very long time and I love this series!
Who wouldn't want their husband to be Prince Charming? Not going to write a synopsis of the book as I don't want to give anything away. I will say that this story is a beautiful modern twist to Prince Charming and not at all what you might think. Such a refreshing story to read with just the right amount of hotness.
I love Josh and Cari. She worried about everyday household things but was able to accept what was given and in her way give something in return. I so want to make my husband more like Josh..lol.
This is a great series and this is my favorite book so far. Romantic but not over the top. Great job!!

Book 3 in the Favorite Things Series, and once again, this is a book I couldnt put down until I had read the last page!
Josh and Cari are the perfect couple and reading about them in each installment just keeps getting better and better! In fact these books should actually be banned as their relationship in these could lead to unrealistic expectations in the read world :) but seriously they are amazingly cute!
Charming, starts with Cari being woken extremely early, to be spoilt and adored by her husband! This is every girls dream to find someone as romantic and caring as Josh!
I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in their next adventure.

This was another amazing addition to the Favorite Things series. I absolutely adore how each book changes but still follows the relationship of Cari and Josh.
In this latest addition, Cari is awoken by her loving husband at an ungodly hour. But, much to her surprise, she finds that it is quickly becoming one of the best days of her life.
Without giving too much away, know that this book will make you wish that all guys were like Josh. He's sweet, charming, and utterly amazing. Something every woman wants out of the man of her life.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book in the Favorite Things Series. The series involves a married couple, Josh and Cari. In this book, Josh surprises Cari with a scavenger hunt that proves just how charming and romantic he is. I loved it! It is a great, short read. I can't wait to read more in this series!

SO I am going to need one of these adventures Post Haste. Yep. Another fantastic serial in this great series. I can't get enough. For under a dollar it is TOTALLY worth the money and my time.
There is something about a series that centers around a married couple that just does it for me. Sometimes I just need the AFTER part of the Happily Ever After. This is what that is. Honest and real. They are little stories about a married couple and how much they are in love. Nothing crazy, nothing unpredictable, but still completely enjoyable.
All about the love. That is what this series is. This serial is all about the happy and I ADORED it. I can't wait for the next installment.
