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.

Southern Comfort is the second book in Natasha Madison’s Southern Series and even though it can be read as a stand-alone, I would really recommend you to read Southern Chance, the first book in the series.
Like always Natasha brings us a beautiful story.
This is the story of Casey and Olivia. With a little suspense and a mysterious aspect had me hooked at the first page.
Olivia didn’t have an easy life growing up. And now with her ex- fiancé in jail she is hiding from everything with the help of her best friend Kalie.
Casey Barnes is hell bent on keeping Olivia safe. And he really knows how to do it.
Love Casey and how protective he was of Olivia. Their attraction was instant even though there were a few push and pull but at the end it worked perfectly for them.
The story had many emotions and the suspense was just like I love my books.
And now the wait for the third book in this series where we get Savannah and Beau’s story. Can’t wait to read that.
STARS!!
OMG this book started with a bang and ended with an even bigger bang. This book was everything you need and never knew you wanted. It was heart pounding suspense, slow sensual chemistry and a beautiful love story all together in a great book. It was fast paced and had me on the edge of my sit the entire story.
I absolutely loved Casey and Olivia together. They may have thought they were different but they fit perfectly together. I loved the protective alpha and the sassy woman. There was a slow build up that was so worth the wait mixed with a romance to make you swoon.
Of course that bigger bang towards the end we all knew was coming set us right up for the book I’ve been waiting for. This series is fantastic and you will not want to miss a minute.
The cowboy and the city girl were hot!!!! We saw in book 1 the attraction between Casey and Olivia and it just increased ten times in this book. Casey went above and beyond to protect his “darlin”. He made her feel things she never thought she’ll feel. Olivia’s backstory with her ex will make you furious and the horror he made her endure. Then one her past seems to catch up with her my heart goes out to her. But she has Casey and the others that are there to help. They have her back in everything. Her HEA with Casey was beautiful and I like how funny she is. Now I need book 3!!!!
Again never disappointed reading a Natasha Madison book… I was not so patiently waiting to see how the cliff hanger panned out from the end of the first book! Gah I was on tender hooks to see what the outcome would be!! The story literally started with a bang… Casey the Southern gentleman was anything but gentle when it came to protecting Olivia, his sister’s best friend someone who burrowed her way into his heart and captured his soul with her caring and loving nature. So many wow moments, and so many HOT scenes with these two their chemistry was off the charts steamy… but would Casey keep able to keep Olivia safe while still protecting both their hearts. Bring on book 3 in this wonderful series that just keeps getting better with each and every book!
Darlin, darlin, darlin!! Gah is there anyone more swoony then Casey?! I absolutely loved Casey and Olivia’s story! The added elements of danger and mystery surrounding what was going on was icing on the cake for me! Watching Casey’s transformation in a loving family man as he realized his feelings was great to see! And poor Olivia as she finally realized her own worth and that she deserves love was beautiful. So many emotions went through me while reading this book and that kicker at the end about broke my heart! Can’t wait for Beau and savanna’s book!
5 Stars
How is it Ms. Madison can just keep making this series better and better?! Casey and Olivia’s story is full of suspense, anguish, bad guys and one Very Good Guy. We learn that Casey is not your typical cowboy, and he and Olivia are definitely made for each other. Of course, they both have heartbreak and baggage to set aside in order to be available to each other. Add in Olivia’s recent past causing danger and this book will keep you so immersed in their world that you won’t be able to put it down until you have finished! The lead in for Beau and Savannah’s book is jaw dropping and I LOVE how there are two epilogues!!

I DEVOURED this book in a matter of hours. Southern Comfort completely sucked me in and captured my attention from the very first page to the very last.
Olivia is hiding from her con of an ex fiancé. Casey is her best friends brother and her current roommate. Casey will do anything he can to keep Olivia safe and to keep her on the farm. If you read book one, Southern Chance, there were some unanswered questions such as who is after Olivia and why they are after her. Those questions will be answered. If you didn’t read Southern Chance you can still follow the story without any issues.
I loved Olivia and Casey from the first moment these two characters were introduced. Their banter is on point and the chemistry is on fire. I loved how protective Casey can be. He made Olivia feel safe when there was so much bad going on around her. Casey was a much more complex character than I expected. There is more to that man then just a cowboy.
Of course, this story left some unanswered questions leading into book three of this series and I can’t wait to return to the south!
Southern Comfort was hot, suspenseful, and addicting. A MUST READ!
This is the second book in the Southern Series and oh my the angst is so real in this read. I am a huge fan of this author and have read all of her works, It just amazes me that she can write any genre and own it.
Oh Casey, Cowboy, Stud, Hero, I could go own for days describing this Amazing Man. He blows most book boyfriends out of the water. The way he treats Olivia, swooning so hard. Oliva came to town with her best friend Kallie, Casey’s sister, to get away from trouble from her ex-fiance. Casey steps right up to be her protector and savior and can’t help but fall for Olivia. He knows she is returning to LA as soon as she’s out of trouble, why would she stay with a cowboy. He hides his feeling but not very well.
Lots of action and suspense in this read, and so much angst, with most books by this author you go through a rollercoaster of emotions. Such an amazing read.
I can’t get enough of this series by Natasha! 5 southern stars but it deserves way more!
Meet Olivia, she’s had the worst luck ever but thanks to her bff Kallie, she’s safe at Kallie’s family farm staying with Kallie’s brother Casey, who becomes super attracted to her. With danger constantly around the corner, Olivia also finds comfort and security with this family, something she never had growing up.
If you loved Southern Chance, your going to go absolutely crazy over this one! Natasha did an amazing job on this series, it’s become a fast fave of mine, and I don’t want it to end! Make sure if you haven’t read the first to grab that, then jump on this one when it releases and sit back and enjoy!
I couldn’t wait for Southern Comfort after finishing Southern Chance, and let me tell ya it was sooooo worth the wait!! I absolutely fell in love with Casey and Olivia!! Casey and Olivia’s story begins where Southern Chance left off, so while you don’t need to read, I would totally recommend you do, and besides HELLO IT’S NATASHA MADISON!!!! Do I really need to say more??? This book had me from the first page, and didn’t let go till the very end, Olivia is staying with Casey because someone is out to get her, for what…she has no idea, the chemistry between Casey and Olivia is off the freakin’ charts, and Casey is sooo swoony!!! You learn things about Casey that are very unexpected, and you root for them to find their way to each other for good, but first they have to get out of their own way, and out of their own heads and I don’t know…talk maybe?? I am shouting from the rooftops recommending this book, it’s awesome, and you will fall in love with these characters and Natasha too….so READ THIS BOOK!!!! Now I need book 3….
Olivia and Casey’s story will keep you on the edge of your seat. The whole time you are trying to figure out why Olivia is being targeted by the bad guys, she’s falling in love with her Cowboy Casey. He is fighting falling in love with her too because he knows she plans on leaving and going back to LA. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is not to fall in love. But until the danger is behind them, neither of them can settle their feelings for each other. Southern Comfort is a great story that holds you spellbound from beginning to end.
This is the 2nd book in the Southern series and is the Story of Casey and Olivia. It carries on from the end of the 1st book Southern Chance.
Casey is a hard working cowboy and meets Olivia when his sister brings her to the family farm to hide. Her ex has stolen money from the mob and they think she has it. Casey is protective and does everything he can to keep Olivia safe and even moves her into his home. He always swore that he would never marry and intended to remain single after getting badly hurt by his ex, but he can’t help his feelings towards Olivia and both start to fall for each other. But with Olivia being on a hit list will they make it? We’ll all i can say is you must read the book to find out. It’s a fast paced story with a few twists and turns and plenty of heat…
Definitely a 5* star Read…
HOLY CRAP!!! Damn, Casey and Olivia will leave you SPEECHLESS. Casey is definitely not who you think he is. He will have you SWOONING and leaving your heart so full. Casey and Olivia are just perfect for each other in every way that counts. I CAN’T WAIT dir Beau and Savannah’s story.
Omg this series is just too good. This is the second book in the Southern series, and while I loved Jacob and Kallie’s amazing second chance romance, this book took it to a whole nother level. I knew I was going to love Casey but holy moly did I love Casey. He was so much more than I even expected him to be. I need to find me a Casey, and Olivia, my heart hurts for her during most of this book. She is just so loving and kind and yet no one has ever given her anything back. That is until she goes home with Kallie and finally finds a home of her own and an incredible cowboy to give her the HEA of HEA’s. Oh and oh lordie did my heart just break for Beau at the end of this book. He definitely needs his HEA.
*** I did receive a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review***
Oh Cowboy!!!!
I couldn’t wait to see what happened with Casey and Olivia. They were so cute in Southern Chance. Their story was great, no surprise there. I loved how the family loved Olivia and gave her everything she needed and nudged Casey along. Casey was so stubborn until he wasn’t. He tries to fight it, but Olivia pretty much has him from the get go. And sweet Olivia she’s so scared and who can blame her?! But ya know how the saying goes, sometimes you just have to save a horse and ride a Cowboy to see what happens lol…..
This story was great not only for the romance factor, but the suspense included was fabulous, I couldn’t wait to see how it all got tied up! Funny thing is she answered all our questions with one story and threw us for a loop with another. What a great plot twist. I can’t wait for book three!!!!!
5 stars plus
If ever you want to read a romantic suspense that is heart pumping moments, secrets and sizzling tension then this is definitely a book for you!
Oh man this story will send you on a rollercoaster of emotions and have you come out of the end incredibly excited for more!
The author has penned something so worth reading it is one of the best heart stopping books of the year!
My heart, my soul, my excitement as I kept on reading just made my week!
Casey is for certain more than your typical southern cowboy! He’s got so much good about him that is worthy!
Olivia is a strong woman when she has to be but with all the things happening to her, who could blame her for the way she reacts to everything!
Can these two form a bond better than just friendship and how hard does life get when they come to terms with how they really feel?!
Do family or friends have to intervene? Gah this book was so incredibly entertaining, tumultuous and riveting that its a must read, in my honest opinion!Go grab it for yourself and be prepared for one hell of a worthwhile ride!
Southern Comfort by Natasha Madison is the 2nd book in the Southern Series, can be read as a stand-alone and tells the story of Olivia and Casey.
We met Olivia in book 1 – Southern Comfort, as she moves to her best friend’s hometown to keep safe after her boyfriend ends up in jail for embezzlement. Olivia had no idea, but now her life is in danger. Casey, her best friend’s brother has taken on the task of keeping her safe, while at the same time developing strong feelings for Olivia.
From the first page, this story had my heart racing, in a good way. You are drawn into the story from the first sentence. Casey will do anything to protect Olivia. He is sweet, protective and his alpha side comes out on a daily basis. Olivia is also falling for Casey, but is keeping her guard up, as she hasn’t had the best upbringing and trust has always been difficult for her.
Once they both let their guards down all bets are off. “Cowboy, I was always told there was no such thing as a perfect man. They were wrong. He does exist.”
Southern Storm, the 3rd book in the series releases in May and tells the story of Beau and Savannah. I cannot wait to re-visit these characters.
This Southern romance has a lot of action… and not the in between the sheets kind either. This book takes place where book one (Southern Chance) ends. While it’s not totally necessary to have read book one first, I would highly suggest it. Though you get enough info in this book to easily follow. Each book features a different couple, but there are things revealed in each book about the other couples in question. This book features Casey (the cowboy) and Olivia (the LA girl.) She came to the small town with her girlfriend to hide from some bad people. Unfortunately, they find her and now her life is in danger. Luckily Casey is there to protect her, and he has a lot of secrets up his sleeve in order to do just that. She may be a city but she isn’t afraid to get dirty. He is everything you’d expect and want in a Southern Gent. As I mentioned, there is a lot of action in this book as the bad guys try to make their move. Its a well written story. Alternates between POVs. The sexual content is not overly graphic. It is swoon worthy. There are also a few teary eyed moments as well. It’s easy to read and reads quickly and the story flows smoothly.
5 Star review of Southern Comfort (Southern Series #2) by Natasha Madison
The second book in this inter connected series and was just as enjoyable as the first book.
I love small town romance, it has become one of my favourite genres to read over the last couple of years. This is Olivia (Kallie’s best friend) and Kallie’s brother Casey’s love story and oh what a fabulous story Southern Comfort is.
Southern Chance ended will unanswered questions and I was anxious to see if these would be resolved in Southern Comfort.
Casey is determined to do what ever he can to protect Olivia. He knows that he should safeguard his heart but is powerless to stop himself from falling for her.
There is drama, suspense, angst, humour and romance and this is so well written that I was fully captivated from the first to the last chapter as Ms.Madison wove her story.
The road to happiness will not be easy for Olivia and Casey, but if they survive the journey, it will be well worth it.
I am excited to see what Ms. Madison had in store for us in book three, Southern Storm.
Southern Comfort, the second book in the Southern Series, by Natasha Madison is absolutely packed with feels and suspense.
Casey aka Cowboy is definitely all of that and a bag of chips. Every time he says Darlin’ I think I even swoon.
And I love that Natasha let’s us see how much more to Casey there is than meets the eye.
He is definitely one of my favorite characters.
And Olivia is a phenomenal female lead. She has so much on her shoulders and such a hard past. But she doesn’t let that stop her from finding confidence in herself and knowing at her heart what she wants and what she deserves.
