This book was one of those romances that left me a little bit conflicted. Normally, I love quick, fast-paced stories but at times, the development of Lance and Savannah's relationship seemed too fast. Sure, the two had known each other since high school. But everything in Soana's story seemed to wrap up just a little two neatly. That's not to say the book is not worth reading.In fact, it's actually pretty good. What Soana lacks in plot points she makes up for in emotions. Van's life has been less than easy. Her first love abandoned her after high school. The man she loves enough to marry is ripped from her life. Her family is all but non-existant and her best friend is about to get married. Van is dealing with a wide array of HEAVY DUTY emotional baggage.Soana captures her emotions beautifully. At the end, Southern Embrace is a beautiful tale of a woman triumphing over adversity. She weaves a picture of what it is really like to put past hurts aside and open up your heart once more. For me, the emotional relationship between Van and Lance made up for the quickness of the storyline. I was left with a smile.Disclaimer: I was gifted a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
