3/5 Stars 🌟
Southern Storm is the 3rd book in the Southern series and even though these books follow different couples I highly suggest reading them in order as the stories all interconnect in a way that may confuse you if you have not read the previous books.
This story was drama packed to the point that it was maybe a little bit too much especially towards the end when all the revelations come out and it went to a whole new level and felt like I was watching a soap opera/telenovela which for me personally it was a bit over board but if you love crazy small town drama with some added suspense then you will surely love this book.
Savannah where do I even begin with her, if you have read the previous books then you would know that she is an unlikable character and the main reason of all the drama that played out in book 1. I personally didn't love her character in the previous books but I also didn't hate her. She is selfish but also somehow selfless. Strong yet broken. Smart but naive. Sassy and feisty yet deflated. She is caring and loyal & will do anything to protect her son even if it is at the expansive of her own happiness and others.
Beau has just found out that the girl he has been in love with since he was a kid, has lied to the whole town about the father of her son. Her son who is in fact fathered by Beau's older brother Liam. Understandably hurt and angry Beau lashes out until he realises he needs to be directing his anger a little closer to home instead of the woman he still loves. Beau is protective, kind, sweet, charming, funny, stubborn and a bit of an alpha male but also brave, selfless, genuine, upstanding and compassionate.
I loved everything about Beau and though I wasn't sold on him and Savannah to begin with I did end up enjoying their relationship. At first it was hard to connect with as both were harbouring strong feelings towards each other but to afraid to speak them so it was a lot of telling and not much showing which makes it harder to truly feel their passion and emotions behind the love. With a few flashback scenes of their ever evolving friendship could've definitely helped. The story was still addictive with all the crazy storylines woven in and there were many times my heart truly broke for Savannah as I don't feel she deserved a lot of the hate thrown her way. Though I still don't love her I have grown to appreciate her. I did however love her son Ethan and glad we got more of him in this story and can't wait for his book next.

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

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