Review: There aren't words for how I felt when reading this.

I've read some of the reviews for this story and have to admit I was dubious as to how a book can make you so emotional one chapter in. I mean, one chapter isn't enough to invest in a character and make you really feel them, right?Wrong. I couldn't see the words for crying half-way through chapter one and had to put the book aside until I calmed down. It didn't take long before I HAD to go back to it.Oh Savannah, you poor, poor thing. She was broken, but not down. Weak, and so much stronger than I could have been when faced with the hand she was dealt. Her journey to happiness is a long one, filled with so much grief that my heart broke and healed right along with hers.And Lance, oh what a man he is. When he ran into Savannah again I really wasn't sure I'd like him. He broke her when she was young, but he helps put her back together after everything and I fell for him in the process.Southern Embrace is bursting with so much emotion it felt like I'd read a 100,000 word story instead of a novella. It's very intense, both heart wrenching and passionate. I loved every second of it.Please don't let the emotional aspect put you off. It's what makes the story great. Pick it up now, you won't regret it.
