Tessa Teevan's Sweet Southern Sorrow is a lovely second chance romance story. This is one of my favorite tropes in romance, so I couldn't wait to read this book, even if I was a little concerned with the "sorrow" part of the title. Silly me. There was no reason to be concerned about all that. This is a sweet and romantic read that you'll be sure to devour in one sitting. 

Sweet Southern Sorrow is told from both Cheyenne and Sawyer's points-of-view. To get their whole story, the scenes also alternate between 2008 when they met and present day. The jumps take a little bit of getting used to, but it was the only way to learn how these characters got to be where they are today. I loved both of these characters. The past hadn't been easy on either of them, but they always had each other. I enjoyed reading along as they got reacquainted and the old feelings came back. It was impossible not to feel the feels with these characters. 

Sweet Southern Sorrow isn't quite as sexy as Tessa's other books, but it's perfect for Cheyenne and Sawyer's story. There were so many sweet moments shared between these characters, both in the past and in the present. Sawyer is totally swoony and definitely on my book boyfriend list. When he would call Cheyenne "pretty girl," my heart would melt just a little. I enjoyed the secondary characters in this book, too, and look forward to hopefully getting their stories as this series continues. 

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
