I think I found a new Southern contemporary favorite in the new release of Secrets Over Sweet Tea.

No other wild, eccentric character has been more endearing that Scarlett Jo. That woman LEAPS from the page and doesnt mind speaking what she thinks you need to hear. And most of the time shes right. Shes charming and sassy, smart and warm. Shes the perfect Southern character to read; truly memorable.

Zach has taken a road that so many marriages have fallen into. To watch him walk out of his affair was so difficult at times. Yes, he made some poor choices, but his growth had to be the strongest of all three main characters. One of the best scenes in the entire book was at the end where hes talking to Grace. I wanted to slow down and savor his wisdom, wisdom having only come of a new faith in God.

I loved Grace. She made some difficult decisions, but I have the absolute most hope for her beyond this story. Id love to know what happens to her next and maybe even Tyler. My reason to mention all three of these characters is because they are that memorable. The writing is that captivating and the Southern charm and taste that much more engaging. This one is making my keeper shelf; excellent read.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publisher for my copy to review.

Scarlett Jo has a secret, and so do others in town, including Grace and Craig. As a pastor's wife, Scarlett Jo seeks to help those in need, like Grace and Craig.

I really liked this book. Scarlett Jo is funny and crazy, something others don't always appreciate. She is friendly to those in her neighborhood and church, wanting to help those who are struggling, like Grace. Other characters in the book have their quirks as well, which makes for a great read.
