Even the town’s black sheep needed a friend sometimes
Southern Storms, an all-new, small town second chance romance from Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!
All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms…
After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.
What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep.
They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past.
What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh.
Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane.
Yet when both of our pasts come back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes love stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped.
Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

“If you need to run away, run away to me.”
I truly feel like whatever Brittainy C Cherry writes, works it’s way into my heart. How does she do this??? Every book, every sentence, every freakin word is woven into a lyrical balm just for your heart. There are moments when it breaks you just a little, but the other moments? Those are the ones you have to have to watch because it heals you and it makes you stronger.
Kennedy has been through a tragedy that no one ever wants to go through. It’s the type of tragedy that leaves you with big open scars and you have no intention of trying to heal at the moment because deep down you want to remember the pain. Feeling the loss lets you know that you’re still here, your heart is still beating even though it’s shattered at the moment, those shard pieces is still worth something.
“You’re everything I wanted and everything I never knew I could have.”
Knocking on her sister’s door and asking for help was the first step for Kennedy in trying to move on and now that she’s in a town, she’s trying to let the healing process begin. After meeting the not so nice town’s grump, Kennedy is about to learn that things are not what they seem and that there are more that meets the eye when it comes Jaxon Kilter.
I have to say that I was not expecting this book to be so emotional. I knew that we were going to have some of those moments of course because it’s a Brittainy Cherry book and I expect nothing else but holy crap some chapters felt like a gut punch!! I felt for these characters deeply and the pain and loss that they had to go through was inhumane. There were dark days with heavy thunderstorms but the sun also came out and I loved how we got to experience the not only the sadness with these characters, but the joy and forgiveness.
This is going down as one of my favorite reads of the year and if you’re like me and you love this author’s writing, this friends to lovers story, is not to be missed.
Excerpt
KennedyJoy Jones was quite the character to take in. That morning, when the sun came up, she walked outside to her front porch and sat down in her rocking chair with a smile on her face and a large cup of coffee. A few of my nosy visitors told me that it was a daily routine for her. Her silver-dripped hair was tossed up in a messy bun being held together with two knitting needles, and her thick-framed, vibrant-orange glasses sat on top of her head. She wore a vibrant bow in her hair that matched her dress for the day, and she always greeted everyone who passed by her house, even when they didn’t speak back to her. Everyone in town called her Crazy Joy, even though she was the kindest person. Her only odd quirk was that she never left her property. I wondered how she managed, though. I wondered how she kept living without stepping foot outside of her home. It seemed she hadn’t any children and she didn’t have a caregiver who came to aid her, from what I could tell. Later that morning, my questions were answered as a blue pick-up truck pulled in front of the house. Needless to say, my jaw dropped to the ground when I saw Mr. Personality step out of the vehicle. He walked his way straight toward Joy’s front porch with his arms filled with grocery bags. He proceeded to greet Joy. She stood from the rocking chair as he set the bags down on the porch. Then, he hugged her. He hugged her! I wouldn’t have thought someone as grumpy as Mr. Personality had the ability to hug someone. The two of them walked inside to put the groceries away, leaving me completely baffled and unable to return to my scheduled reading. It took a lot to break me away from a book. And by ‘a lot,’ I meant a lot. My house could’ve been on fire, aliens could’ve beamed me up, and I would’ve still been trying to get in that one last page. When my own love story was broken, I turned to story books to heal the cracks of my broken heartbeats. When my world fell apart, the story books still believed in happily ever afters. Those books saved me on the days I felt my soul falling victim to the hardest of storms. Yet, Mr. Personality pulled me away from the words against the page. He made me curious about him walking into Joy’s house. Watching him chat away with her had my mind racing. A few minutes later, when the two of them walked back outside with two glasses in their hands—one with wine, the other with some dark liquor—whiskey, I assumed—I couldn’t stop myself from glancing over to them. Joy kept talking, and Mr. Personality kept responding. Even though I couldn’t hear what they were saying, Joy looked beyond smitten with whatever was being said her way, which forced my own heart to skip a few beats. Well, I’ll be damned. The town’s asshole made me swoon.
