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.

Whitney needs a new start. Her life has taken a turn and she needs family around. She

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 ...more

I've been anticipating this book pretty much since like the third time I finished Southern Pleasure!! I fell in love with Aaron right away and I couldn't wait for his story!! And boy was I given a treat!!!

Aaron is a special guy. He's sweet, funny, loving, and a good big brother. He deserves to find the one! So when Whitney comes along you know you're in for something special. It's not just special, it's without a doubt one of the best stories I've ever read! Along with Whitney and Aaron we also

I have not had the ‘pleasure' of reading Southern Pleasure, book 1 in the Southern Heart series, but after finishing Southern Desire I will be downloading it to my kindle ASAP. Southern Desire was overall a sweet, sexy and heart-warming read. I read it in one afternoon while my kids were napping, I just couldn’t put the book down. Aaron was every woman’s dream and I loved how he slowly pulled Whitney from the darkness and showed her that it’s okay to let love in. I look forward to reading about ...more

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.

The tragedy of losing her mother to cancer brought Whitney to Kentucky to live with her only remaining family. What she did

Sigh.. These southern boys! Kaylee sure knows how to make you want your own!

Aaron is McKinley's brother and Evan's best friend. He's got that southern charm and a big heart. He makes the girls swoon! His relationship with Lexi was so cute! I loved how smitten he was with Whitney right away! I just loved him!

Whitney's tragedy of losing her mother brought her to Kentucky, where she gets a job with McKinley and meets the sexy Aaron! I really liked her! She was so strong and a great character!

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 ...more

Wow such a sexy swoony read!!! Aaron is a heart stopping man that makes me want to move to the country! This book had little to no angst but plenty of hot steamy connection. Whitney comes to town to be with family & make a change, to move forward with her life after & out of the pain. She is very apprehensive to get involved with anyone. She is so shy & timid. At times u want to tell her to grow up & go after the sexy man. This was a very sexy read! Can't wait for next book!! ...more

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.

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! ...more

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

Moving to Kentucky is supposed to be a new start for Whitney. Leaving behind the loss of her mother, the move becomes positive when Whitney and Aaron connect. But will this love at first sight be able to overcome the baggage that follows Whitney? Or will Aaron be exactly what her mom hoped she would find? Highly emotional and a joy to read. I loved this couple from the minute they came together and the love comes directly from Aaron is what HEA's are written about. He is the ultimate man to fall ...more

Sweet story.

Sweet story with a little bit of sadness and a few very important health lessons for women. I enjoy the way the author adds the breast cancer advice/awareness. I’m happy that Whitney finds Aaron and she could be “the one for him”. Whitney needs all the support and love during this difficult times, Aaron and his family are there for her. Love the story.
