Dnf @ 50%, was listening to the audio version but ultimately just felt like their relationship was awkward and the scene where they get together when she’s drunk did me in

Emotionally intense
Book 3 of The Southern series picks up where book 2 ended, so definitely read this series from the beginning!
Savannah was a character I initially despised, but by the end of book 2 I was willing to give her a chance. She has been through so much and had few people to show her any love or support, definitely not her mother. Her childhood best friends - Jacob and Beau have always been her support system, but the Beau learns the secret about who fathered her son. After he doesn’t react very well to the shocking news, he quickly backtracks to support the woman he has loved for years.
Savannah is in danger, and as Beau continues to stand by her and defend her against his father’s machinations the danger increases.
This book ends on a cliffhanger in the final epilogue that brings us full circle to the secret of Ethan’s paternity. I can’t wait to read Book 4.

Oh, what a story I wasn't ready for. Savannah broke me down. AND I TRIED TO FIGHT IT. I wasn't a fan of hers...although I like her more now, still not my favorite girl. Once you read her story, you'll understand why she is the way she is. Beau is held captured by her. And let me tell you, WE ALL need a Beau in our lives.
Southern Storm will make you feel like you can go through everything in life, but as long as that one person believes in you, that's all you need.

My new favorite Southern man is the oh, so swoon worthy Beau.
He was a take charge alpha hero with a sweet soft spot for Savannah. I have been looking forward to this story because in the previous books it seemed everyone knew these 2 were destined to be together except them.
The chemistry between Beau and Savannah was a rainy day in the previous books compared to this one. It turned into a thunderstorm of secrets unveiled, not saying things that needed to be said, a threat that loomed in the shadows put them in the middle of the perfect storm.
A lifetime slow burn, the whole crew, banter, all the feels, this book had it all and I’m insanely excited for what’s to come.

Southern Storm is the third book in this series of contemporary, standalone, small town romance with friends-to-lovers trope. Though it could be read as standalone, I would highly recommend the readers to read the first 2 books since its an interconnected arc. The couple in this story has played major roles in the first book, Southern Chance.
For those who are caught in up, Beau, Savannah and Jacob (the hero in the first book) are bestfriends since they were kids. Savannah, being the daughter of a hired help and with her mother's own reputation in town, didn't have it easy growing up. The difference in their social status didn't affect their friendships until Savannah got pregnant and Jacob took the responsibility. Beau has always loved Savannah but felt betrayed by his 2 friends. Savannah loved Beau but felt that she isn't the right woman for his kind of status. Eight years has passed, and when Beau found out the truth, will it changed how he felt for Savannah? Will this be the chance for him to cross the line of friendship? Are they strong enough to stand the storm that they will face? Get ready for drama, angst and Southern brand of love! Fans of small town romance and author will surely love this latest love story.

There are so many tropes in this one; marriage of convenience, single parent, childhood friends, friends to lovers and small town.
I've probably missed some but Natasha wanted to hit them all for Savannah and Beau.
Savannah and Beau get thrown straight in with the drama, it's TV worthy with what mix-up happens from the start and gets dragged up at the end. Savannah and Beau have a lot to work through but they never started with the aim of the end goal to be with them together. That was just a plus.
I really loved the power play Southern Storm with Beau being the Mayor and using his pull to help Savannah whenever he could but wow! Savannah has no luck. Every time Beau had his POV without Savannah in the picture, guarantee he would get some news that she was in an accident or something had happened to her property. Unfortunately, it started to become predictable.

Honestly I didn't think that I would end up liking, forgiving, or even finding any redemption in Savannah so I had my doubts going into this book. That being said the author has done a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life and letting me see another side of Savannah that I normally would have overlooked because let's face it we are all somewhat judgmental jerks. In the first book Savannah seemed to come off as a piece of work that we all ended up not liking in some way, but now after reading this story I ended up sympathizing with her and even understanding her actions to an extent. Am I still happy about what happened with Jacob and Kallie? no, but I swear Beau helped ease some of my anger and help me see Savannah differently. The back and forth between Beau and Savannah had me screaming at my kindle wanting them to confess their love for each other so when it happened I felt so much happiness. This book let's us in on a friends to lover romance that they have loved each other forever but fate and timing has always been off and now will they get their chance or will things and hatred drive Savannah away for good? I was glad I was wrong about Savannah and that things ended they way they did, but poor Ethan. Ethan's story is going to wreck us but in a good way. It takes talent for an author to make a hated character find not only redemption but become extremely likeable and this author has done it and I'm glad we all get/give second chances.
