Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Wildfire Marketing in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

In this 3rd installment Southern series, we learn more about Savannah and Beau – characters that have played key secondary roles in the first two books.

Savannah was cast as the villain in Southern Chance, but there was a lot we didn’t know about what happened to her. In Southern Storm we see the back story about how she arrived where she is and how that continues to influence her daily life. It gave me a new appreciation for a character that I wasn’t sure I could root for 100%. Beau has been the steadfast friend, but here we learn just how deep his devotion to Savannah runs.

I enjoyed getting to see these two finally deal with the feelings that have been simmering under the surface for years. It was also sweet to see the efforts Beau went through to make sure Savannah understood her value to the community.

My one “complaint” was that I really wanted to see more regarding the resolution of the conflict. We see pieces of the puzzle and the intrigue level is awesome, but I would have loved a little more of the hows and whys behind some of what happened. I was happy with the outcome of the story, but left with a lot of questions.

The Southern series has been entertaining and I am very curious to see how things play out in the upcoming final installment.

Release Date: May 19

Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

Savannah
I’m the one who broke up the golden couple. The woman people still whisper about, point at, and give dirty looks to.
Did I sleep with the prom king? No. Did I sleep with the town’s golden boy on vacation from college? Yes.
Did I believe that he was going to marry me? Wholeheartedly.

 

Did he? Not even close. He got engaged right in front of me and then his father threw two hundred dollars at me and told me to take the trash out.

 

So, I raised my son in a town where people love him because they think that his father is the sheriff.
It was going great, everything was working out till my lie got out.
Beau
I was getting ready to take over the mayoral office from my father, who was my hero.
Until I heard the secret he hoped would stay buried forever.
My brother has a son, not just any son but a son with the woman who was my best friend.
The woman I secretly have loved from the moment she stood up to me and broke my nose in kindergarten.
I need to protect her and in order to do that, we need to get married.
 
Too bad her nightmare is my dream come true.

Meet Natasha Madison




When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. 

 
You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. 
 

It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
