Even the townâs 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 armsâŚ
After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.
What I didnât expect was to find myself drawn to the townâs 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 Iâd 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 didnât end the way weâd hoped.
Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

My Review:
There were so many things I loved about Jax and Kennedy’s story. While there were plenty of heavy moments, Brittainy C Cherry threw in some humor at just the right time. Side note, I hope we get to see more of Connor and Marty because I absolutely loved them! Kennedy and Jax are both dealing with their own demons and grief which ends up bringing them together in ways that neither of them could have imagined. I loved the flashbacks to the past as it gave the story more depth that made me fall for these two even more. Both of these characters had significant growth throughout Southern Storms and I was able to connect wholeheartedly with Kennedy and what she was going through. The ending felt rushed however which was disappointing. I had a moment of terror thinking that this story was going to end in a cliffhanger because I felt like some things were left unresolved. It was like one of the main situations with Kennedy was just left as is and I was expected to just forget it was even a part of the story. Outside of that, I really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading more from this series.
Excerpt: Kennedy Joy 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 didnât 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 hadnât any children and she didnât 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 Joyâs 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 wouldnât 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 âa lot,â I meant a lot. My house couldâve been on fire, aliens couldâve beamed me up, and I wouldâve 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 Joyâs 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 handsâone with wine, the other with some dark liquorâwhiskey, I assumedâI couldnât stop myself from glancing over to them. Joy kept talking, and Mr. Personality kept responding. Even though I couldnât 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, Iâll be damned. The townâs asshole made me swoon.
