Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.OliviaWhen you find out that your fiancé is arrested for swindling over ten million dollars from his clients, you do what any sane woman would do. You escape reality and go undercover, trading in your city-girl Louboutins for country-pumpkin cowboy boots. It wasn’t a forever change—it was temporary. I only had to stay here until things back home got … things back home got straightened out, or so I thought.
Casey
I was riding horses before I was walking, or at least that was what they told me. I always knew I would take over the family farm. It’s in my blood.
Country boy at heart, the minute I saw her dragging her luggage up the gravel driveway I knew she was out of my league.
I shouldn’t have started anything with her, because I knew she was just passing through.
I couldn’t stop it, I fell in love with her. Even though I knew, in the end, she would leave me.

Natasha Madison really knows how to write the South, and include all the best parts!
I have absolutely adored the first two books in the Southern series, but Southern Comfort is PERFECTION!
I wanted to kick Casey for assuming Olivia is a born and bred city girl, and would never want anyplace else. Olivia just needed someone to love her, after a lifetime of damage from her mother and then years of hurt from her ex fiance all she really needed was love and safety.
I enjoyed all the suspense, the security pieces where Casey was trying to figure out why someone is hunting Olivia, were absolutely amazing and I could feel my heartbeat racing when I finally reached that point in the book.
I love Casey and Kallie’s Mama and Daddy, the love they showed for Olivia, including calling Casey out when he couldn’t get out of his own way to see what was staring him in the face.
Watching Olivia and Casey finally get everything they wanted after years of sorrow was such a treat, and the little lead into Southern Storm made me so happy there are only 9 left to wait for it!
Loved this book so much! It hooked me from the very beginning so much so it was hard to put down. I loved that this book had a suspenseful element to it! I also loved that there was no prolonged or unnecessary drama. I would definitely recommend this book!
Received an arc for an honest review
Sweet story promise it will leave you swooning, enjoying and in love with the characters, is one of those story that you want to live by, it has the perfect amount of action, romance, humor, love the books of this author and can be read in one afternoon, go grab a copy and let me know what you think.
Vulgar and sex descriptions that were too vulgar.
When I started reading in this book world I really had no idea what to expect. Sure this is romance and with that comes all the oh baby, oh baby, oh baby along with all the hotness and hopefully a happily ever after… if not more. And true to form, you can count on some authors for exactly those things. But then there is Natasha Madison and while some of those things might be parts of her stories, what she brings to the table has me shaking my head and so wrapped in a story that I can honestly say, the romance is just a part of the amazement.
Southern Comfort is Book Two in the Southern Series, If I thought I was rocking the chair when I finished Book One, you have NO clue how bad the legs on this chair are creaking now. With this story Natasha blew me away. Being book 2 we know the start and the understory, but what we don’t know is how deep we will be pulled into this maze of danger, shock, mystery, deceit and in the end love.
So many secrets come out in this story. Olivia and Casey each have their own past and each has skeletons they would rather not share. As they fight shadows that threaten their lives, mistrust and fear are forced to be pushed aside. These two face new odds with the rising of the sun each day. What they learn as they move forward is chilling at one moment and passion filled the next.
Natasha had me with book 1. She has tied me down with book 2 and I cannot wait to see how this series continues. And just when I think I am ready you leave me hanging with my mouth open thinking “No Way Now”. I loved this story and there are not enough stars for me to post how much I enjoyed it.
Southern Comfort was such an amazing book, I loved every word of it. The suspense and mystery that is woven in between the love story unfolding makes the book so good. I just couldn’t put it down. Casey was an amazing character, he was sweet but oh so alpha. Olivia was just as amazing, she was sweet and stronger than she thought she was. I can not wait for the next book.
“I want to save the horse and ride the cowboy.”
Well, if it’s Casey Barnes we’re talking about, then I’d gladly join the cause, LOL. Especially since this certain cowboy has a lot more to offer than just his rodeo skills. He is a smart, sexy guy who has a pure, big heart to those he loves. Now, who in their right mind wouldn’t fall for this Southern gentleman?
“I was always told there was no such thing as a perfect man. They were wrong. He does exist, he’s just deep undercover.”
Southern Comfort is the second stand alone story in the series and its the story of Casey and Olivia; the brother and bestfriend of Kallie from book one. Their love story is romantic, funny, sexy with right amount of drama and suspense to make this an enjoyable, light read for me. The close knit, family loyalty that I have come to love is still very evident with the way Casey’s family and even his friends, supported Olivia through her difficult times. Those who loves small town, romantic suspense and fans of the author, will certainly enjoy this newest addition to this series.
This book is funny, and sweet and all the things a good romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
4.5 stars! Great addition to the series!!
Southern Comfort is a beautifully written story by Natasha Madison. This is the second story in the Southern series and does not disappoint. Casey is a sexy cowboy who has the motto that he’s not looking for love. Olivia is on the run and hiding out with Casey. What happens when Casey and Olivia cross lines from friends to something more? This book is filled with drama, romance, and plenty of action which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Southern Comfort is captivating, intriguing, and steamy.I loved this story and I adored Casey and Olivia. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Savannah and Beau’s story. Another amazing story from this author. A must read for romance lovers.
DNF. Saw this recommended on a book blog but couldn’t get into it. Way too many characters. The author’s style is to just tell the reader what happened (they shared numerous kisses) instead of showing us through the character’s experience.
This book is full of intrigue, it is steamy, and you will fall in love with Casey and Olivia. Casey is a sexy cowboy as well as a sexy business man. He is just something else. Olivia is a feisty, strong woman who has never had anyone to look out for her in the past. Olivia is under Casey’s protection, as she has the misfortune to be pulled into her ex’s dirty dealings. This book draws you in and keeps you engaged from start to finish, as Casey and Olivia fall for each other, while trying to stay one step ahead of trouble. I love this book and this series, there is a great cast of characters who enhance the story, can’t wait for the next book. If you are looking for a love story with a side of intrigue, I highly recommend this book.
Southern Comfort is second standalone in this wonderful series by Natasha Madison. I must say I couldnt wait to read about Casey and Oliva after meeting them in Southern Chance. Casey is swoonworthy yumminess, love the protective Alpha and that was Casey all over when it came to Olivia. Plenty of passion, plenty of love lots and lots of drama. An emotion filled romance that will leave a smile on your face. I cannot wait to read about Beau and Savannah.
Hot swoon-worthy cowboy alert and millionaire to boot, hot damn.
Southern Comfort is the second book in this series and a perfect weekend read or the kind of book you pick up when you have time to just get lost in the story.
Olivia is a city girl, once a model now designer but after finding her boyfriend in a compromising position with women and drugs on a surprise visit she kicks his ass to the curb to then find out not only was he not the man she thought he was but her life is now in danger due to illegal dealings her ex was involved in.
Olivia needs a safe place to stay, out of the city and is offered just the place by her best friend Kallie which is on her brother Casey’s ranch.
Enters smooth talking cowboy Casey who calls Olivia Darlin * fans self
Casey is an ex rodeo star and ranch owner and as things begin to happen to alert Casey and the family that Olivia has been found and is still in danger you discover there’s a lot more to Casey than just a cowboy, with his access to security devices and how he calls in orders and favours to keep Olivia safe, he’s a man of mystery until all is revealed.
With Olivia staying under Casey’s roof it was inevitable these two would get together, Casey is all alpha, he becomes her protector and eventually more and I thought they were a perfectly matched couple.
Another enjoyable read, a touch on the slow-burn side in the hotness and relationship part of the story but still a page turner of a book by Natasha Madison and I am definitely looking forward to Beau and Savannah’s story that you get a little cliffhanger taste of.
Each book can be read as a standalone but the characters and plot lines do flow into one another so to get an overall feel and history to the story I would suggest reading from the beginning. I haven’t read the previous book and felt there was some things missing or somethings I needed to know which would have been in the previous book, Kallie and Olivia’s relationship for example the back stories that sort of thing for an overall feel and picture to the whole story.
Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea.
Looking forward to the next book
In the previous book, Southern Chance, I had a great time reading about Olivia and Casey. She was flirty and called him “Cowboy” and he was smitten and followed her around like a lapdog! I was looking forward to their story and I was not disappointed!
There are several surprises in this book that change the whole panorama that I expected from this book. Casey is not just a ranch owner, he was so much more. You have to read the book to find out! Olivia’s issues with her ex-fiancee escalate to a point where Casey had to take stronger protective measures. The whole family pitched in to help and made Olivia feel loved. Information is revealed about Olivia’s childhood at the hand of an ambitious and ruthless mother who used her for her personal gain. She used to feel alone and unloved but things are changing now.
Of course, Casey is convinced marriage is not for him, and he will never have children, so his heart hurts anytime he thinks of Olivia going away. You can tell from his actions how hard he’s fallen for Olivia although he’s in total denial. He feels she’s a city girl that won’t adapt to being a country girl. Likewise, Olivia is in love with Casey but for some reason thinks she’s not worthy, duh.
I had a great time reading all the whodunits and the investigations about Olivia’s fiancee to find out why she has so many people at her back. Casey is so devoted and protective that’s it’s cute to see. My only complaint in this book was that Casey cried so much and for any reason. She was emotional and scared and overwhelmed all the time. I expected her to have a little more gumption. She was a lovely woman, beautiful inside and out, and needy of affection. She absorbed Casey’s family affection as the neglected child she was. Maybe this was the reason for her emotional responses.
Entertaining and charming, this was a great installment, especially because it had a couple of surprises. And I loved that it paved the way for Beau’s story!
Great story!
I loved Casey this entire book! Olivia is a pretty good characters as well. (Ha! That’s makes it sound like she’s lacking and she’s not.)
This story doesn’t have the whole baby drama that book one had – which I’m glad. I hated reading any tiny piece about Savannah in this one so I’m leery about the next book. (Although Natasha claims she will be redeemed.) But I’m getting ahead of myself…
Casey is a hot cowboy AND has a geeky computer nerd brain! Brains and muscles. *Insert dreamy sigh*
Olivia is being stalked. Poor girl! Good things she has Casey around!
This book can be read on its own or as book 2 in the series. You’ll love this one!
I was anxious to read Olivia and Casey’s story. I have to say I saw Casey completely different in this book once we finally got to see him in first person. The first book made me feel like he was a hot guy who was too overprotective of his sister. The more we learned about who he really was the more I fell in love with him. Casey is exactly the kind of guy I want my hero to be.
Casey and Olivia had an instant attraction and it is makes sense since they are both gorgeous human beings. Watching them with each other just made the build up even better. That first kiss was intense and a long time coming. That night in the hotel though…WOW! I love everything about them both. I love the fact that there is also a story line. I hate when authors give me nothing but the two characters getting together and having no real plot. I couldn’t put the book down. Well done as usual Natasha! Now Savannah owes me some answers, so I need to read book 3!
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
I want a cowboy! I want this cowboy! I can completely understand why Olivia fell for Casey. He is so incredibly swoon worthy. Great exciting plot right to the end. Love the interaction with Casey and his parents. Olivia was such a lost and lonely soul you can’t help but be endeared to her. Action packed adventure with mysterious stalkers, emotional rollercoaster with all the threats against Olivia. Loved it!
Southern Comfort is book two in the new Southern Series by Natasha Madison. I really enjoyed the banter between Olivia and Casey. I think every single woman will swoon with his sexy cowboy ways and his use of darlin’. I felt the chemistry coming off of the pages with these two. The slow build up to the sexy time was perfect. There were so many moments of me screaming at my reader “just kiss her already!” We learn a lot about both Olivia and Casey in this book. Neither are perfect and both have a scaring past. There is definitely more action/drama in this book. This to me was a huge plus bc I felt the story was slightly lacking in book one. Southern Comfort ended with a huge bomb in the plot which has me chomping at the bit for book 3!
I absolutely loved this latest book in the Southern Series!!! Olivia has left LA behind after catching her man cheating on her. She comes back to stay with Kallie and runs into Kallie’s brother Casey. Man oh man Casey is one hot cowboy!!! He has feelings for her when he laid eyes on her and wants to do whatever it takes to make her safe. The more time they spend together the more the feelings grow and they fall hard for each other. Casey is hesitant cause he knows that once Olivia is safe she will leave taking Casey’s heart with her. Can they make things work while the threat is still there in the background. I freakin loved this sorry!!! I was hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend this story to all and omg I can’t wait for Samantha’s story…it’s gonna be a good one! Well done!
