“You are the most beautiful person I have ever met … From the moment I’ve seen you, you’ve been the woman I’m chasing in my dreams.”

A suspenseful romance that is full of feels, will keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the pages.

Mayson had a terrible childhood which had him enlisting in the military as soon as he was able. While living in his cabin, his past comes storming back into his life. Chelsea has returned home from graduating school as a nurse and shows up to find her brother's friend Mayson battered on her front doorstep. Chelsea helps to nurse him back to health while her brother and others help to find out who attacked him. After crushing on him from afar for years, having him under her roof proves to be the perfect opportunity to reveal her secrets.

I loved heading back into the world of the Southern Series. We are now getting the stories of the next generation. This is one of my favourite series and I look forward to every one of the books. Chelsea is a very strong and brave woman who does not back down when she puts her mind to something. Mayson is broken and vulnerable. I loved watching Mayson as he allowed Chelsea into his heart and his acceptance of the depth of his feelings for her. The love they share is strong and passionate. I can not wait for more from this series.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Southern Heart by Natasha Madison is the fifth book in the Southern series. It continues the story of the next generation of characters. This is Chelsea’s story. The daughter of Beau and Savannah, whose story we got in Southern Storm. The stories stand on their own, however, reading the previous books is highly recommended.

Secrets were the integral theme throughout the previous books in the series, and Southern Heart was no different.

Chelsea, a recent graduate of nursing school, returned home with plans to spend time with her family prior to taking up her duties as a nurse. One stormy night while babysitting her niece and nephew at her brother’s home, an injured stranger appeared on the doorstep. She would soon discover he was no stranger, but her brother’s friend Mayson. This was the same friend she had been crushing on since the first time she met him. Chelsea nursed him at her home while the men in family worked to find the person responsible before he could return to finish what he started.

Mayson had a terrible childhood. He got away and joined the military, leaving his terrible past behind him, or so he thought. Eight years later, his past has come back to haunt him with a vengeance.

What a story. I love the romance which developed between Mayson and Chelsea. Sweet, slow burn and filled with passion. They impressed me as individuals. Chelsea’s sass, strength and bravery leapt off the pages. However, there was a moment in the story where she senselessly placed herself in harm’s way. Mayson has been through so much and feels he has nothing to offer Chelsea and will sacrifice his happiness for her safety. Chelsea’s determination and love wore him down. I enjoyed how he flourished from her love. They made an awesome couple and I could not help but root for them.

The threat of danger added an element of suspense to the story. I feared for them with each page turn, hoping the danger would be eliminated before it caught up with them. I waited with bated breath for it to be over.

It’s always fun catching up with characters from the previous books in a series, and the experience with Southern Heart was no different. The camaraderie and the interactions added an element of fun to this swoon worthy romance.

I cannot say it enough, I enjoyed the story from start to finish. Readers looking for swoon worthy romance featuring a strong heroine and a heart melting hero, then Southern Heart will make a great addition to your library.
