Recommendation
Brittainy’s words are like reading poetry. Her stories embed themselves into your heart, leaving a warmth of feelings and sometimes twinges of pain that didn’t exist before you read them. People are complex and the character building of this story hits a depth that many authors attempt, but rarely achieve…at least for me. Southern Storms is a sweet yet sad, small town story of two quirky people who have only ever really fit in with each other, and their healing of tragic circumstances through the rekindling of their childhood friendship, self rediscovery and adulthood romance. I loved this story, I loved the characters and supporting characters, and I look forward to reading more standalone’s of this series to come!
Excerpts
Mama said the best people are the imperfect ones, because the best adventures in life don't come from perfect things.
Storms can feel like they last forever, but from my experience, I'd learned that no matter what, they always pass.
The tears a person sheds on the inside are always the worst. They are always filled with the heaviest amounts of regret and sorrow.
Publisher synopsis
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 came 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.
*Book One in New Compass Series of Standalone Novels.
