OMG!!!!
Let me just say this is my favorite book by Kaylee. I have read them all, but Aaron Mills is my favorite character. He really knows how to swoon. He may never have been a man whore, But he never committed. To one woman. His reasons were simple. If I don't feel it, I don't need it. Very simple words by a man who could have had anyone in the town he lived in. Many woman have tried and failed.
Then came hurricane Whitney, She swept him right off his feet. And the best part, Aaron didn't eve ...more

Ok, this book is hands down the sweetest thing ever. I lied. Aaron is absolutely the sweetest thing ever. A man who loves his family and dotes on his niece and nephew as though they were his world. He is patient, kind, and sensitive. He is also a real life cowboy with the ass hugging jeans to match. I mean they make calendars of men that look like him but nothing can compare to the real thing. Aaron is a catch.

OMG....I love Kaylee Ryan's books. Her male characters are SO swoon worthy. They are strong, respectful, protective, and caring men. Like Holy Hotness Batman...their personality alone will make you hot. This book was no exception. Aaron has been a favorite of mine even in Southern Pleasure, due to his loving relationship with his sister and family. I know I am going on and on about the male character, but it truly is what draws me to all of her books. I like the female characters she writes, but

I am an official Kaylee's Kick Ass Crew member, so it is pretty much a given that I will read anything that girl writes. She had me sucked in from the beginning of her writing days with one of my favorite book boy friends with Liam McCoy in Anywhere with You and keeps adding to that list with every man she writes about. Aaron is also at the top of that list just as you will find out when you read this book.

Southern Desire is book two in the Southern Heart Series. We first met Aaron in Southern Pleasure as the oh so sexy brother of McKinley and Evans best friend. Mr. picky wants it all just like his sister and Evan, but he believes when he finds "the one" he will know immediately and has never really given any woman a chance until Whitney. Whitney was a game changer for Aaron.

Oh, God. I've been waiting a lot for this book. In fact, since Southern Pleasure, in 2015, because of course Aaron deserved his one and only. He was so sweet, such a good friend and brother... He just had to find his girl. I love Kaylee Ryan so I knew I would enjoy Southern Desire, but this was more. Much more. I cried a lot, I smiled, I loved them since the first page and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Whitney is adorable, Aaron is amazing and right now I'm still emotional so, that's

I fell in love with Aaron in Southern Pleasure bk 1 of the series. So when I saw that Aaron and Whitney' got their story I could not wait to read. Aaron was happy with the way his life was going, but when his little sister found her HEA with his best friend Evan, he was wondering when he would find The One. He also thought he would know who The One was just like that. Whitney needed a new start with her only family she had left and that meant moving from Chicago to Kentucky. What she didn't expe

As much as I loved Evan and Kinley, I kept thinking about Aaron through out their story. His outlook on love seemed kind of warped, and I knew it would take a special woman to change his mind. Enter Whitney. She brought with her the kind of baggage that makes you want to cry. She is so strong, and determined to keep her distance at the beginning, that Aaron is forced to get to know her slowly. Before you know it, BAM! Love hits Aaron in the face, and Whitney isn't far behind. Her past comes back

The feels in this book. WOW. I loved Aaron in the first book, and you could tell he was genuine, loving, and ready for "the one"- he just hadn't found her yet. Then Whitney comes along, and they become friends...extremely attracted to one another friends, but friends nonetheless...until it's more.
This is a fantabulous book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this story. 5 stars just simply is not enough. I will leave a much more detailed review on release day. ...more

A perfect follow up to Southern Pleasure. I didn't think there was any way Evan could be topped, but then Aaron swoops in and he is HOT!!!! Aaron is a perfect combination of Southern gentleman, rugged outdoorsy man and sex on a stick. He falls hard for Whitney pretty early on and his mission to make her happy and take away her pain is beautiful. I love the roles Evan and Kinley and Lexi played in this story too. Another sweet 5 star read by Kaylee Ryan!

These Southern Heart stories! (Swoon)
Aaron and Whitley have a fantastic friends to lovers story.
Aaron knows when he meets the one he will just know, so why would he waste his time in a woman who wouldn't make the cut. Whitley's father left and her mother recently passed. She doesn't need another person to leave her heartbroken. What they end up with is something neither one expected.
Kaylee is a long time just buy author for me, and even now I continue to re-read despite knowing what's coming. I ...more
