New Release: Southern Heat by Natasha Madison

STOP! If you have not read Southern Heart, the 5th book in Ms Madison’s Southern Series then I would not dive into Southern Heat just yet. This installment of the series picks up at the end of book 5 and the stories are very heavily connected even though the principal characters are different.

As expected from Ms Madison, Quinn is a swoony, Alpha male hero with a sweet side. Willow is probably one of the more outwardly fragile heroines, but she is stronger than she thinks. The interactions covered a wide range of emotions and I appreciated the care Ms Madison took with easing Willow into friendships and then more.

There is a large overall secondary cast, but the active group is relatively small.  It was nice to see Mayson and Chelsea (Southern Heart) and glimpses of how they are doing. We also were able to see a little more about family and friends that will be appearing in future Southern books.

Much like other books in the Southern Series, this is a fairly quick read. Potentially heafty issues are touched on, but there isn’t a deep dive into dealing with them. These are character and relationship driven stories that definitely have an overall feel-good message.
