Review: A Night of Southern Comfort – Robin Covington

One night of passion…
Detective Jackson Cantrell never imagined that one night with an irresistible stranger would turn his life upside down. He’s spent years living in the shadows, but Dr. Michaela Roarke awakened a passion inside him he’d buried years ago.
He never expected the woman would turn out to be the governor’s daughter…and his next assignment. The governor blackmails Jackson to secretly watch over Michaela and protect her from a stalker, or kiss his dream job at the FBI good-bye. Swearing to keep things strictly professional, Jackson moves in with Michaela. Too bad his heart can’t keep the same promise.
But when the stalker’s attacks quickly escalate beyond mere photographs to bodily harm, Jackson must race to save Michaela’s life. And he’ll have to figure out how to keep her once she discovers his lie.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Michaela/Kayla is trying to live her life on her own terms.  She moved out of her father’s domineering household to a small Virginia town hoping to have the life that she wants.  On the start of her new life, she has a smoking hot one night stand with a man she called James (because she said he looked like James Bond in his tux).  She didn’t plan on that one night bringing the wrath of her father down on her or put her in contact with the man who was supposed to be just one night.

Jackson Cantrell has been fighting to get his way back into the FBI.  All that is put in jeopardy when Governor Eastland tells Jack he either take the protection detail for his daughter (unbeknownst to her) or lose his shot at getting back his old job.  Jack agree, but knows he’s in for much more than he bargained for.

Kayla and Jack are absolutely smoking hot.  Their chemistry, from the very first moment they laid eyes on each other in the bar, lept off the page.  You could tell, whether they were fighting or in bed, that the two of them were meant to be together.  While they both were fighting the demons of the past, along with current threats, they both had to work to figure out just what they wanted out of for themselves and with each other.

A fast paced, hot, sexy, edge of your seat read.
