Are you ready for The Southern Wedding Series?<\/strong><\/em> Harlow<\/strong> Travis<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s you. It\u2019s always been you.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n 5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n The first full-length book in Natasha Madison\u2019s Southern Weddings<\/i> series, this is a gorgeously emotional second-chance romance that is playful and sexy, with all the feels. I loved it!<\/p>\n Before you read this book, be sure to read the free novella Mine to Kiss<\/a>, which is the beginning of Harlow and Travis\u2019 story. Harlow is the daughter of Casey and Olivia from Southern Comfort<\/a>, and she meets Travis at college where they are both studying to become veterinarians. They fall in mad love, but though they seemed destined to be together forever, it wasn\u2019t to be.<\/p>\n It\u2019s four years later when Harlow receives a wedding invitation in the mail for Travis\u2019 upcoming wedding, and after a big \u2018WTF?\u2019 moment, she remembers the promise she made to Travis to be there for him on the happiest day of his life. At the time, she thought she\u2019d be the one standing beside him, but she still plans to go, figuring it will give her closure if nothing else.<\/p>\n On the wedding day itself, things go from bad to worse for Travis when pretty much everything seems to go wrong. And then his world is rocked when Harlow enters the church. She was the girl who got away, and all it takes is one glance at her to know that he is making a horrible mistake. When, before walking down the aisle, the bride has an allergic reaction requiring a hospital visit and then promptly dumps him, all he feels is relief, and then the story really begins.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat if I told you that I never should have let you go?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Oh my God, Harlow and Travis together are MAGIC! It takes no time at all for them to find that easiness that always existed between them, and the chemistry and sense of for each other is beautifully emotional. I could feel everything between them as they reconnect, and the sexy time is out of this world hot. Holy hot damn, they are on fire together, and the emotion runs just as hot as Travis holds nothing back in winning back his girl.<\/p>\n \u201cLetting you walk out of my life is the biggest regret of my whole life \u2026 Hands down, the worst day of my life. Hands down, the worst decision I ever made. Hands down, the biggest regret I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Travis stuffed up in the past. Big time. He knows it, Harlow knows it, and he\u2019s on a mission to make up for the past and prove himself to Harlow again, and the man grovels like a champ! In scenes that had me madly swooning, he pours his heart out to her, and damn, I love a man who puts himself out there so honestly.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is everything.\u201d I rub my thumb over her cheek, wiping the tear that is rolling down her cheek. \u201cSeeing you again, it just \u2026 It made me see that there isn\u2019t anyone out there for me but you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s honest and functional, and so easy for them to find their way back to each other. But they\u2019re both older now, they have their own lives in different towns, and finding a way to move forward is going to be hard. They know that, but neither of them are prepared to let the other go, and watching them fight for their HEA is gorgeous!<\/p>\n I\u2019m sitting here looking at her, talking to her, touching her, I know that there is going to be no one else for me. That she is it. She was always meant for me. We were always meant for each other. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I am a complete sucker for a second-chance-romance, and this is such a beautiful love story. Travis and Harlow have so much emotion between them, they hold nothing back in talking about their past and all that they are feeling in the present, and they move forward together functionally and honestly. There is minimal angst and drama, just a whole lot of swoon (and so, so much sex!), and I love these two together so much.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not letting you go this time.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Their families are a big part of the story, and as much as I loved seeing Casey and Olivia, and all of the extended crew again, Travis\u2019 family steal the show for me \u2013 particularly his three rowdy sisters, each of whom will get a book in this series. What a hilarious bunch! They tease and bicker, and have such a fun dynamic, and I\u2019m so excited to continue on with the series and read more about them.<\/p>\n I absolutely loved this story. It\u2019s beautifully swoony and romantic, and hit me right in the feels.<\/p>\n 5 stars.<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find family tree and series crossover details here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mine to Kiss (#0.5)<\/strong> (Travis & Harlow) Mine to Have (#1)<\/strong> (Travis & Harlow) Mine to Hold (#2)<\/strong> (Ace & Shelby) Mine to Cherish (#3)<\/strong> (Luke & Clarabella) Mine to Love (#4)<\/strong> (Bennett & Presley) Mine to Take (#5)<\/strong> (Matthew & Sophia) Mine to Promise (#6)\u00a0<\/strong> (Stefano & Addison) Mine to Honor (#7)<\/strong> (Levi & Eva) Mine to Keep (#8) <\/strong>(Caine & Grace) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Website\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0| \u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Facebook Reader Group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Follow on Amazon<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Follow on BookBub<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Subscribe to Newsletter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a small town, second chance romance with all the feels, and I loved this one so much! \u00a0Amazon\u00a0 |\u00a0 Apple Books\u00a0 |\u00a0 Nook\u00a0 |\u00a0 Kobo […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","yasr_overall_rating":5,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[65,9,24,29],"tags":[59,581,48,1387],"class_list":["post-63839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lol-funny","category-romance","category-second-chance-romance","category-steamy","tag-arc","tag-natasha-madison","tag-review","tag-southern-wedding"],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Mine-to-Have.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gaNL-gBF","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/63237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThings are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day.<\/em><\/strong>
\nAren’t they?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI promised him I would be there for the best day of his life.
\nNot thinking I wouldn\u2019t be the one standing next to him.
\nBut here I was attending the love of my life\u2019s wedding day.
\nI smiled when I saw him and pushed back the tears that wanted to come out.
\nThis was his day and I was going to fulfill my promise.<\/p>\n
\nIt was supposed to be the best day of my life.
\nBut the second I got up, things started to fall apart.
\nThe kitchen just caught on fire.
\nFlowers were from a funeral.
\nMy bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction leaving by ambulance.
\nOh and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church.
\nThey say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you.
\nMaybe she was just mine to have.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Mine-to-Have-Teaser-1.jpg?resize=450%2C450&ssl=1\")

When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\nCheck out more great reads on our\u00a0Natasha Madison Author Spotlight<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n
