The beginning of a new series for Natasha Madison, something a little bit different from her, and oh, I loved it so much!
Before the gushing commences, I have to admit that I had some mixed feelings before I even started reading this book. The blurb alone freaked me out. I am not a fan of unnecessary angst, and from that blurb that’s what I thought we were going to get. But I love Natasha’s books, so there’s no way I wasn’t going to read it, and OMG, I’m so happy that I ...more

Second chance romance is one of those genres that I really need to be in the mood for. And I find it so hit and miss. The thing is there is always a reason why the couple separated in the first place and depending on so many factors mostly my own private judgyness I tend to get hung up on that. But I recentlyish read the Something So series by Natasha Madison and I loved her heros and when I read the blurb for Southern Chance I was dying to get my hands on it.

What would I do if I had a second chance with my first love - the one that broke my heart into a million pieces with a betrayal that I would have never expected? Well Kallie was going to experience that and much more.
She never wanted to return to the place that reminded her of all her broken dreams but she was back to help her friend- Olivia (which I hope we get her story). Kallie wants nothing to do with Jacob and as hard as she tries to avoid him well life has other plans for them. Jacob has ...more

So he chose his best friend and her son who’s not even his over the heroine? He’s hurt and hates the heroine because she thought he slept with his friend, the one he protected and continued protecting even after promising a future to the dumb twat? What do you expect when she saw with her own eyes how you protected and loved this OW. I don’t mind that he saw this OW as his “sister” but to choose her son and her over the heroine is shitty!

... This book and me weren't meant to be.
What if they'd just talked? I managed this far out of curiosity and found out that they'd got together again because they simply talked.
Ridiculous story. Stupid characters. Easy-peasy second chance.

Southern Chance is one of those books that hooked me from the start. I spent so much of the book not knowing if I was going to love it or hate it, but in the end, I fell more towards the love side of the spectrum.

“When did you fall out of love with me?” I ask him softly.
“Never.”

I looked forward to this one, I read loads of reviews highlighting all that was wrong with it but I’m a glutton for punishment so on I went..
I have just two words for this: NOPE, DNF
Also... this is not a love story. It’s a “stupid people do stupid stuff and don’t talk about it for too long and then brush it off and go for the HEA”

Hello minority!!! Here I am!! 🥴
I loved “This Is” series and I anticipated for the author’s new release!!!
Unfortunately there was so much drama from the first chapter which expanded in the chapters that followed and I really struggled to read them. Dnf @ 39% 😔
Jacob might have been a super HERO but he didn’t save this book for me... ☹️

2.5 stars. Up to 60% of the book I was conflicted about how to rate this book but after that ending I made up my mind.
Overall is a good book but in the end I can’t stand half of the characters.
Really, Savannah and Jacob ruined this story and I cant’s stop thinking that Kallie deserved so much more.
I can't stand Savannah. So what? She doesn't want to be considered the town's hoe because pregnant and alone,so she decided it woul be better be considered an homewrecker? Please! She just needed a ...more

"Do you love me?"
"My heart doesn't beat without you."
I....I....I just can't. Basically, Natasha’s books - after DNF'ing the last book I read, and then trying this one, I've come to one conclusion: I just don’t like them. They’re not for me. So here goes a rough review. This was originally a DNF, but I was able to talk myself into trying to finish so I could carry on with the series. I'm not so sure that worked out in my favor because now I want the third book but there is no w ...more

I had a wonderful time with this book. Southern Chance by Natasha Madison was a captivating, heart-warming and emotional romance that had the right blend of drama and angst to keep me entertained. From the moment I began reading, I knew I would have a difficult time putting it down. I read it in one sitting; it was that good.

This was so bad that I'm giggling. It's absurd in regards to how bad this was. You might be thinking, why did she continue if it was that horrible? Well, I'm glad you thought of that. Morbid curiosity and wine made me interested in finding out if the stupidity continued.

“I wish I could go back eight years, and things would be different, but we all made choices that day, and we all have to live with them…”
Southern Chance is a warm-hearted second chance, young lovers, small-town romance and our first ever read by Natasha Madison. It was a sweet and swoony -easy to read- romance centred on buried secrets. We loved experiencing the Southern charm of this story and look forward to meeting more characters when their books release in later months.

God this book, it will grab your heart and squeeze and not let go. It hit me straight in my feels and had me laughing, crying, mad, and swooning all at the same time. I’ve loved almost all of Natasha’s books and this book is no exception. I love me a good country small town romance and being in the South, Natasha really brought this aesthetic to life in the best way possible. I loved Kallie & Jacob’s love for each other and was glad that they had a beautiful love story together And got their HEA
