Spirits Forged of Steel … Despite her disguise as Silver Jones, tavern maid, Lady Selena Hardwick-Jones was captured by bounty hunters combing the Georgia coast for the runaway with hair pale as spun silver and eyes like soft brown velvet. Forced onto a ship headed for her home in the West Indies, Silver vowed to make her break for freedom. But in the vessel's brash owner she found a will to match her own. Major Morgan Trask was determined to deliver his lovely human cargo safely to the aristocrat he had long admired.
Hearts afraid to feel … Was the ship's dashing captain Silver's stern captor–or her gallant protector? Tormented by doubts, tantalized by desire, Silver's emotions were in turmoil. For a secret shame kept her from telling Morgan Trask the real reason for her flight, all the while fearing–and yearning –to trust him.
Souls longing to love … As they sailed into treacherous waters, their very lives in peril, Silver and Morgan could no longer deny their hunger for each other … as they surrendered to a passion that burned hotter than the Savannah heat.

I was expecting a cowboy romance but I got so much more in Southern Comfort. Casey and Olivia's story is packed with mystery and I wasn't expecting it. That was definitely my favorite part of this book: the mysterious plot.
Olivia is in a lot of trouble and because of that she's temporarily living in Casey's house, her best friend's brother. Casey is trying to protect her from the drama her ex fiancé dragged her into, when suddenly there's not only drama... Olivia is in real danger.
I was impressed by the fast pace and the suspense and that definitely won me over. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the relationship between Casey and Olivia. There was something missing in their relationship. Don't get me wrong, the steamy scenes were amazing and I was rooting for them. I just felt that with everything going on in the story, we didn't quite get to see the emotional connection between them.
I loved Casey's family, how Olivia was figuring out Casey's many layers, the small town setting, their banter and the secondary characters. Southern Comfort is a fast paced, mystery packed with twists and turns, angsty slow burn romance that I enjoyed. I'm curious about what's going to happen next in Savannah and Beau's book.
