Southern Storms: A Small Town Standalone Romance (The Compass Series) Kindle Edition

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars “Sun” And “Moon” Were Always Destined To Be Together

Another relationship story beautifully written by a stellar author. Jax and Kennedy cherished a unique relationship as young adolescents during their weeks in summer camp. I loved Kennedy’s quirky personality. As adults, they were destined to meet up again when Kennedy takes up residence in small town Havenbarrow where Jax lived, following the breakup of her marriage to a self absorbed man. Both Jax and Kennedy have personal demons to contend with.

I fell in love with the secondary characters in this story, especially Connor, Jax’s teenage assistant in his plumbing business and Joy, the self imposed shut in. Both were such refreshingly colorful characters. Connor’s entrepreneur endeavors with his Cuber App and his heartwarming love for his ill mother made my heart melt. He understood the somewhat grumpy Jax and was a truly devoted friend and partner. Joy exuded so much love and sprinkled pearls of wisdom to those who bothered to know her. It was refreshing to see how she was confident and comfortable in her life choices and remained unaffected by those who chose to bully her.

The storyline of this book is fairly straightforward as we journey along with Jax and Kennedy and their predictable connection. There is a short “Oh Wow!” moment towards the end of the book that I didn’t see coming. I must say that I developed more “feels” for Connor and Joy than I did for Jax and Kennedy. Prior to writing this review I tried to determine why that was and I concluded that I needed a little more story about Kennedy beyond the well written camp scenarios. Jax’s character was well developed, in my opinion, offering me the sense that I knew him and could relate to why he presented himself as he did, especially due to the troubled family dynamics.

The story concluded with a satisfying epilogue. Although this is Book One in the Compass series and is listed as a stand alone romance, I must disagree with that. Book Two is Connor’s story and I would have to strongly suggest to any reader, please read this book first to acquaint yourself with Connor as a hard working, kindhearted teen before reading Book Two which begins with Connor as a 25 year old. Looking forward to Connor’s story!

Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I recently found this amazingly talented lady's work. This is the fourth book I’ve devoured in as many days, and I can’t get enough. I'd like to say that each story is better than the last, but they all have that special something that makes them an exquisite, beautiful, unique work that stands on its own.

Cherry's prose are profound poetry that resonates deep in the soul. Her characters are raw, broken, and authentic, so we unabashedly embrace them and feel their struggles and triumphs as our own. The premise is fresh and captivating, making it impossible to put down until after reaching the satisfying conclusion. And the themes of love, healing and forgiveness will restore hope in even the most jaded heart.

Get this book, read it, and let it consume you. Then collect the pearls of wisdom you’ll find here and guard them jealously in your heart. When the storms of life toss you about and you question if you'll ever see the sun again, think of Jax and Kennedy. Let their healing journey help you find your own.

This book was heartbreaking and at the same time absolutely beautiful, it gave me all the feels. He was the moon and she was the Sun his light Jax and Kennedy are friends who become lovers and work to heal together. They are patient with each other because they both understand that the path to healing isn’t just a straight line and that it’s ok to have setbacks. I love how no matter what they were there for each other and never judged or put the other down. Their love was beautiful and I loved reading about it. Also a side note jax’s family is just terrible especially the dad, and the brother was so wrong iykyk (except for the mom who excepted him for who he was), he was too good of a soul for them and they didn’t deserve him.

I have read and enjoyed other books by Brittainy Cherry, so I didn't think twice about reading this one. However, it fell short of what I expected. There were a few editing issues that jumped out at me, for example, when she introduced how Jax and Kennedy originally met, they were 11 years old but then later talks about Kennedy getting letters from a 10 year old Jax. And then speaking of the flashbacks to their childhoods, they were supposed to be 11 or 12 years old, but the dialogue read more like they were 8 or 9 years old in my opinion...maybe that's just me. And finally, I struggled with the fact that it took them so long to recognize each other as adults, when they supposedly had such a deep bond as kids. I just feel like it was underdeveloped, and I found myself rolling my eyes in certain spots. I will still give future books by Brittainy a look, because I have liked other things she's written. This one just didn't do it for me.

My heart hurts for what both Jax and Kennedy went through. Their tragedies seemed to dictate their futures, until fate stepped in. Childhood camp buddies that had a chance encounter as adults that would forever change the paths they were each on. No one deserves happiness more than these two people. Literally the kindest, most loyal person ever, that was Jax, once you understood his life, And Kennedy, the sweetest, most lovable soul! My attraction to both of them was immediate and I flew through the book with a purpose, to find their HEA. Triumph after tragedy.

Von der ersten Seite an, habe ich mich in Kennedy,Jax und ihre Geschichte verliebt. Das Buch ist emotional und mitreißend, wie ich es von BC Cherry gewohnt bin. Die Abstecher in die Vergangenheit der beiden, machen die Geschichte rund. An manchen Stellen wurde mein Herz gebrochen, um danach wieder zusammen geflickt zu werden. Ich kann kaum in Worte fassen, wie sehr mich das Buch berührt hat. Einfach unbeschreiblich gut.

Oh man, this was such a heartwarming book. At first, I didn’t know how I was going to feel about it in the beginning. I was annoyed with the main character because all I wanted was for her to stand up for herself and not let people walk over her the way they did. Then, she reconnected with Jax and boy did my heart swell. If you read the story, I’m telling you you won’t be disappointed

A história de Jax e Kennedy foi arrebatadora de muitas formas. Levando essa leitora que vos escreve ser transportada à trama, sentindo o que os personagens sentiam e chorando em cenas incrivelmente tocantes.

Os livros de Brittainy são assim, capazes de fazer o leitor mergulhar dentro da vida e dos sentimentos de cada personagem. A sua escrita é simples e singela de uma maneira exuberante, nada muito sofisticado ou muito complexo para a leitura.

O que mais me encantou na história foi a construção do romance entre Jax e Kennedy, foi simples, sem pressa e cheia de lindos momentos entre eles, o humor de cada um, seus sorrisos, seus pequenos toques de carinho e atenção os tornaram cativantes durante a leitura.

Também me apaixonei pela maneira que Jax tinha em tratar Kennedy, nos seus momentos felizes e nos de tristeza e solidão, ao mesmo tempo Kennedy fazia Jax sorrir, ficar mais leve e relaxado em sua presença e deixar que ela entrasse em seu coração.

"If you need to run away, run away to me." ❤
