Entertaining romance novel centered around Bayside Barn—an animal rehabilitation farm. Abby is in charge of the center when her Aunt Reva goes away to get her wildlife rehab certification. Quinn, a builder, abruptly buys the house next door and dislikes all the noisy animals. Once he meets the beautiful Abby and gets used to the animal noises, his attitude changes. Reva and Abby are animal telepaths. However, his initial complaint to his realtor attracted the attention of developers who want to buy the marshland around the properties and build a luxury hotel and marina. They’re determined to close down Bayside Barn. Whose side will the townspeople choose?

Steamy love scenes between Abby and Quinn. Lots and lots of sweet interactions with the rescue animals. Tender story of a wolf hybrid who learns to trust people again. Foul language.

I honestly reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca. All opinions are my own. Thank you.

Rating as a movie: R for adult language including lots of bombs

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My thoughts: 📱14% 1:35:58 Ch. 5 - It's interesting. The dog's POV threw me off. I wouldn't refer to Louis Armstrong .. Airport as small, but I'm not going to hold it against the author.
📱29% 3:21:40 Ch. 9 - Okay, this is becoming cute. I was worried for a minute.
📱37% 4:16:16 Ch. 11 - It's dancing in too many circles. Get on with it.
📱68% 7:43:58 Ch. 19 - I thought it was never going to happen. It's a bit drawn out but maybe that's more realistic. Usually, I don't care for secrets but for once it's nice to know something MC doesn't know.

I liked the characters, the dog's POV was the highlight for me. I didn't like the people ending, it seemed unnecessary to me, but I'm probably self-serving and couldn't relate to such a huge sacrifice. I'm looking forward to the next two books but will need some time between them. I'm glad I finally read this author.

Recommend to others?: Yes. This is a good combination of romance and animal advocacy.

Babette deJongh can write! Jane Austen would be proud of deJongh's update on manners society for the 21st century in "Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay." Here women have more choices to determine their life's direction than in the 18th Century setting of "Pride and Prejudice" --whether to choose romance, blended families, a career, or all of the above. DeJongh writes in a gripping, deep point of view that ushers us inside Abby Curtis's struggles with letting herself trust again after a failed relationship, as well as her series of permissions to express various levels of interest and commitment to her new distraction, a carpenter on a Harley.

The 21st Century is, in fact, a minefield for the wounded heart. Abby's love interest, Quinn Lockhart, shares space as a deep point of view character, also beset by broken relationships that impact his teenage son. Quinn has bought an abandoned estate next door to an animal rescue farm and finds the school bus visits annoying enough to launch legal action that eventually threatens his fragile truce with Abby, niece of the farm's owner.

DeJongh, an award-winning romance author and professional animal communicator, sets her story along the marshy Gulf coast an hour from New Orleans and delves into the subjects she knows best--animal communications, a fragile environment and intimate textures of a man and woman exploring new love. De Jongh also expands the romance genre to include emotion-mirroring pets. Though I was skeptical at first, she convinced me to believe that animals are great sensors of human emotion and may be leagues ahead of us in interpreting, projecting and answering our core needs. All the characters, even the pets, need healing and deJongh convinces us to trust her on that labyrinthine journey. -Faith Eidse author of Healing Falls

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay was a really sweet romance that I enjoyed from start to finish.

When Abby's life doesn't go as planned she seeks refugee at her aunt's makeshift animal rescue home. Her aunt is a telepathic animal communicator and is helping her access her own ability and connection to animals. While her aunt is away for the summer, Abby is in charge of all the different animals and oversee the school trips to the Buckaroo Barn. A new neighbor, a stray dog, and an injury and the threat of losing her aunts beloved animals make her summer more than she anticipated.

As I expected, the story is told from Abby's POV and her new neighbor Quinn's POV with the POV of her auntie sprinkled with in. A pleasant surprise was the POV of two adorable and lovable pups. It added an extra warm feeling to the story getting to see the pups interact with each other and the humans around them. Abby, Quinn and all the other character we meet in Magnolia Bay are all really kind-hearted and likable. Even when Quinn makes some mistakes that cause him and Abby's final conflict you couldn't help but feel for him.

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay is an easy to read, low steam romance and trust, love and the amazing connections that can be formed with animals. I quite enjoyed the first book in this new series by Babette de Jongh and will be keeping an eye out for the next one.

This book was a delightful surprise!

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay welcomes readers to Bayside Barn, the cozy hobby farm run for the purpose of introducing animals to children/people for their mutual healing and growth. Thats why after a messy break-up Abby decides coming to her aunts farm and taking over while she goes on sabbatical. A summer taking care of the animals and running the farm visits is just what she needs…

Until the new and handsome neighbour, Quinn moves in next door. He is not a fan of the farm and the noisy kids! He knows that it will kill his property re-sale value… The gorgeous farm girl next door isn’t too bad though… but he isn’t planning on staying.

Abby intends to keep Quinn at arms length, until circumstances necessity his his daily help on the farm, and soon she is cooking him dinner every night… and more! Things are getting cozy until a big-time real estate invested starts looking into the area and wanting to push out Bayside Barn! Quinn and Abby need to work together to save the barn, but will his initial part in this project be his and Abby’s undoing?

OK- this sounds like a typical romance, and in many ways it is, but it was so much better than that! Yes, I loved the slow burn romance between Abby and Quinn, but what really got me was the animals! In specific, the dogs. Author Babette de Jongh is a telepathic animal communicator and included this skill in Abby’s aunt and Abby! I loved the why she portrayed the commutation between the dogs and humans and between the dogs. This was a really fun and interesting element of the book!

This is something you need to read to see! This was a great neighbours to lovers/ vacation romance.

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay by Babette de Jongh is schedule to released March 30th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy from Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A humourous read

[Andrea Wenger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quinn and Abby are both rebuilding their lives after bad breakups and career disasters. But they get off to a rocky start when the petting zoo animals she's caring for break through his fence. Could Abby and her menagerie be exactly what Quinn needs to wear down his gruff exterior and reawaken his heart?

This is a cute small-town romance with paranormal elements. The writing is good, and the story well-developed. If you enjoy this genre, this is a good choice. It's sweet and heartwarming with a lovable cast.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

An enemies to lovers and partners novel with animals! Abby has had a lot of things go wrong so she moves back to her aunt Reva's place in Magnolia Bay, Reva, an animal telepath runs an animal rehab center= Buckaroo Barn- and she leaves Abby in charge while she gets a certification to work with wildlife, All is going well until Quinn shows up. He bought the property next door and is a very cranky man who, as readers can expect, will come around because, well, there's Abby and there's animals. These two go steamy but then they unite to deal with Quinn's former partner, a developer. There' aren't really any surprises here but it's enjoyable, especially if you like animals (there's a wolf with strong opinions, among other things). Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A fun read.

[Federica]

This is a nice romance novel. The two main characters, Abby and Quinn, both are undergoing a difficult moment in their life. Abby is starting to find herself again while being in charge of her aunt Reva's animal rehabilitation center, when Quinn moves in the house next doors and doesn't like the animals and the noise they make.
Getting to know Abby means also getting to understand the importance of Buckaroo Barn, and finally falling in love with both.
I loved Wolf insight of the story, very cleverly written!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Quinn was a sleazeball in my book he could have explained himself to Abby before sleeping with her, although I have to say, she made it quite easy for him. He didn’t have to go around pretending he knew nothing about what was going on. Quin was at his wit’s end searching for a solution to solve the mess he created, and thereby saving what he had found with Abby, their new love. An endearing second chance around sweet read.

[Margie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay by Babette de Jongh is a charming, heartwarming story. The two main characters, Abby Curtis and Quinn Lockhart share the unhappiness of broken relationships at the beginning of this storyline. I enjoyed reading along as these two worked on their relationship with each other and fell in love. Quinn learned the value of the Buckaroo Barn while getting to know Abby. An important character in this story turned out to be an abandoned dog who is probably half wolf. Wolf's communication with Abby's Aunt Reva and then Abby and Quinn was so interesting. The thought that Wolf felt he had to earn his way into their home and hearts was fascinating to me. I am looking forward to more Magnolia Bay stories.

Abby is joining her Aunts animal brigade for the foreseeable future. Her Aunt Reva is going away for a much needed internship sabbatical and Abby is going to take the reins. Aunt Reva has a animal whispering deep connection with the animals and she believes if Abby will let go she has this same inner link as well.

While Her Aunt is away the property next door is sold to Quinn Lockhart who is wanting to do a house flip. Then he finds out he is living next door to an animal menagerie he is ready to hit the roof.

Take the ride the author has setup for the readers. I personally could not get into the book. I found it slow moving and it was just not for me. However, that does not mean it will not be for others. I found it to be predictable and I could not like the characters or the storyline.

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

[Stephanie Panach · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is nice to read about a warm place when it is crazy cold outside! Magnolia Bay is about an hour from New Orleans and has a very sleepy bayou vibe. Abby has moved in with her Aunt Reva after a devastating breakup and loss of her job as an office manager. I think the blurb is a little misleading in saying that she has hit rock bottom - but she is definitely at a low point in her life. Her Aunt runs and lives on a haven for animals - Bayside Barn - basically a very small zoo. Reva is leaving for a few months to learn about wildlife centers and Abby is going to watch over everything while she is gone. When a new neighbor buys the house next door everything starts to go badly.

Quinn is also starting over in Magnolia Bay. After his divorce and fallout from his business imploding - he has sunk everything he has into the property next door to Bayside Barn. Only, he didn't realize the property had loud and stinky neighbors. He complains to his realtor and offers her an incentive if she can find away to get rid of Bayside Barn. Only - after he starts spending time with Abby and the animals at Bayside he realizes they aren't that bad and he starts to really be interested in Abby.

But, the chickens come home to roost when Quinn's ex-best friend and business partner takes steps to get rid of Bayside barn to support his own interest in developing the area into a tourist destination. So Quinn and Abby have to work together to find a solution.

Quinn really is a good guy - he is trying to make the best of a bad situation and balance his business interests with his heart. He makes a lot of mistakes - and has an big uphill battle to fight. He also maybe isn't the best businessman (I mean -dude - how did you not notice the zoon next door???). But I do like him - and his perseverance. He makes some really hard choices - but he does the right thing in the end. That being said - Abby is a difficult case for me. She is sweet and compassionate - but she is also really passive. Throughout the book you keep waiting for her to stand up for herself and take charge - but she never really does. Even the solution to the problem is something that happens virtually without her interaction. I saw Abby as someone who stand their and wrings her hands in an emergency - instead of taking steps to actively solve problems. She kept waiting for others to do it. Not that she doesn't help - but she really wasn't an active participant in making plans. Maybe her mental status at the time impacted her? I mean what kind of competent office manager lets the bills pile up and ignores the mail.

There is a lot of discussion of telepathic animal communication here - and I really liked the parts of the book told from the dogs perspectives. You can choose to believe in the communication or not - but it does add an interesting dimension to the story.

Overall - this is a good story - but with some tweaks it could have been a great one.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay is a cute, small town enemies-to-lovers romance with animals and a bit of mysticism tossed in for good measure. Abby Curtis hits rock bottom and, without any help from her parents, ends up at her Aunt Reva's in Magnolia Bay. Helping Reva run her Bayside Barn, Abby is working through her issues, while trying to pick up the pieces of her life. When Reva is left to run Bayside Barn on her own, calamity rains down on her life, starting with the new distraction next door.

Quinn Lockhart's life has also hit rock bottom. When he snatches up a foreclosed estate in Magnolia Bay, his plans are to fix it up and sell it as fast as possible. The petting zoo with screaming children next door puts a kink in those plans. In the head of the moment Quinn makes an impulsive decision that could very well come back to bite him. This is especially so when he gets involved with Abby and she, along with all the animals, become very dear to him.

I fell in love with Warm Nights in Magnolia Bay from the start. The synopsis intrigued me, and the characters and story pulled me right in, hook, line, and sinker. Abby is an amazingly broken character whose love for her aunt and animals brings her to Magnolia Bay after her life hits rock bottom. Quinn pretends to be hard and uncaring, but Abby and those very same animals find a way to get beneath is skin in the most tender of ways.

The various methods the author uses to connect humans and animals was a fun twist. I enjoyed learning about Abby, Quinn, Sean, Aunt Reva, and the animals attempting to live their best lives in Magnolia Bay. The writing is terrific and descriptive with excellent world building. Highly recommend this read to lovers of contemporary romance.

[Traci · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really 3.5 stars but again, GR doesn't have that option. HEAR THAT, GOODREADS???? Give us the half-star option!!!

Anyway...a decent read. A good amount of character development, great descriptions of the area, and of course, super-cute animals. But I wasn't crazy about how most of the conflict was due to the MCs not talking to each other. I know, I know - they both had traumatic breakups as their most recent relationships but still, you'd think that would be even more reason to talk to the potential new-mate, right?

Finally, an editing choice that left me very confused and then just sort of pissed. Abby NOT looking at the mail for so long (not a spoiler, folks, not at all because the first time she ignores said mail pile you just KNOW that something terrible is coming...foreshadowing that hard should come with its own theme music!). I get that it was done to set up some conflict, but the explanation of WHY she hates to open mail came at an odd point, much, much later than I would have expected. Why not give us the reason right up front? It would certainly have made me more sympathetic to her angst over it. Instead, I kept reading and thinking how irresponsible she was being, given that it wasn't her farm or livelihood, that her aunt was trusting her, etc. So from an editing perspective, I would have changed that up a bit.

The animals were WONDERFUL though. I totally fell in love with Wolf and Georgia was just so cute. Wish they'd been in the storyline a lot more. Yep, more animals, less humans. Who wouldn't love that?

[Danielle Urban · Rating 5 out of 5]

Warm Night in Magnolia Bay by Babette De Jongh is a book that will give your belly nothing but laughter. I laughed so hard while reading this entertaining contemporary romance novel. Abby is taking care of animals that need a proper animal shelter. However, getting the town to her fund it is another issue. Abby has issues with her next door neighbor. A man who is too sexy to be real. Quinn is a carpenter trying to work but next door is loud with all the animals. Turns out his neighbor is a beautiful woman. Sparks fly between these two. Down-to-earth, funny, and sweet these characters make reading a joy. Plus, I loved all the animals especially the big dog, Wolf. Wolf is excellent with kids. Sean's son seems to be loved by Wolf and loves him in return. If you are a fan of warmhearted reads and sexy fun romances then this book is a must read. I absolutely loved it!

I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

[Penny Leidecker · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a wonderful read about animals and the ability some people have to communicate with them. Throw in some romance and we have the perfect read. Abby returns to Bayside Barn, her Aunt Reva’s home and business, to handle things while her aunt takes an internship at a wild animal refuge in Florida, so she can get her license to care for injured wildlife. Abby and Quinn meet because he’s bought the property next door and is going to renovate and sell it. He hopes to start a new business, after being betrayed by his former friend and business partner, JP. I just loved this story and I loved reading about the different animals and what they were thinking, especially Georgia and Wolf. No spoilers so grab your copy and see what happens.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Poison-Reasons a book might be banned-book with talking animals-Bayside Barn takes in an assortment of rescue animals and there is an 'estate' for sale next door. The young, new owner plans to flip the house. Realizing the resue next door will make that impossible sets out to have the town rescind the alllowance for farm animals within town limits. He then falls for the niece of the rescue and looks to stop the plan that has been taken out of his control. Cute story. A bit sad abecause of "wolf" the traumatized pet that has been abused and abandoned. "Wold" is befriended by Georgia who lives at the rescue and she 'talks' to 'Wolf ' to gain his confidence to come and life at the shelter. The rescue owner and niece have animal telepathy.

7/10

This was really cute. I loved that it took place in Louisiana. I wanted Abby to be stronger - I feel like she relied way too much on a neighbor she barely knew. Still, their relationship was cute, and it was fun to see it blossom over the course of the book. I thought Quinn was just a smidge too “I’m always right,” but I still liked him.
My favorite part was definitely the animal communication thing, but I wish she’d made it seem a bit more believable. I also wished there would have been more of it.
The whole fighting for justice thing was really, really hard for me right now, but that’s more a me and what I’m going through right now thing than a this book thing.

[brenda janowiecki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This booked hooked me, line and sinker, right away. Abby goes to her aunt’s farm when her life goes off course to find her way. While helping at the farm all summer a new neighbor moves in to the abandoned house next door. Quinn is not a fan off all the animals noises and smells, and when the farm next door hosts field trips to teach elementary aged children about caring and loving animals, the noise next door is louder than a zoo! This romance between them is full of animals and compromises that turn into something perfect. Just ordered the next book in this series.

Abby’s life has reached reached rock bottom and the only place she can go to climb back up is her aunts farm / children’s petting corner. As her Aunt has to leave for a much needed sabbatical Abby is left to look after the animals and the farm. Sparks start to fly when the long vacant property next door is sold an Quinn the new owner moves in. A fun and enjoyable easy read following the

It took a few chapters to get into it at all, personally. Some of the details are a little different and interestingly odd. The leading male was unlikable in realistic ways, which I'm torn on. The animals made the whole story for me, they were cute and entertaining and obviously the main stars in this tale.
It was all-in-all a decent book with multiple forms of love, loss, and growth. And then it surprised me with a few spicy adult moments added in as well.

[Celia Lambert · Rating 5 out of 5]

Babette DeJongh has crafted a novel that is not only entertaining, but inspires and educates animal lovers on how to listen more closely to their own animals. The protagonist, Abby, is a character I grew to love. She has an especially endearing sense of vulnerability. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone of loves – romance, animals, and happy endings!

This book made me wish that Magnolia Bay was a real place and I could actually move there!
This is a beautiful love story, not just between humans, but animals as well. Babette perfectly captured small-town living in the South and her writing is both laugh-out-loud funny and sweet . I loved watching all of the different characters learn to trust again after being hurt in the past.

I STRUGGLED to finish this book. I loved the animals. I did not love either of the human main characters. Quinn was all toxic masculinity and Abby was so helpless. However, I was here for Wolf and Georgia.

[Lynn Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good small town romance story. I am an animal lover so for me the animals were the best part of the story. I like that she had a farm with rescue animals. I talk to my dogs constantly so I liked that it talked about animal communication. I also like the wolf dog who misses his family.
