About this item:

One of her most beloved standalones, Fern Michaels’ New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel about recovery and second chances is now available in trade paperback for the first time.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels masterfully blends adventure, redemption, and rich emotion to explore all the ways that love can come to heal us…

Atlanta homicide detective Patrick “Tick” Kelly turned his back on the world the day he lost his family to unimaginable tragedy. Isolating himself in a beach shack on Mango Key, Florida, he drowned his grief and trauma in drink. Now sober and a bestselling author, Tick would gladly stay a recluse forever if his brother didn’t keep trying to drag him back to the land of the living.

After years of sacrificing her personal life in favor of her DEA job, Kate Rush resigned and moved back to her native Miami. But the unofficial assignment that has just come her way is too intriguing to pass up. She and a fellow ex-agent are relocated to Mango Key to keep an eye on an imposing, mysterious fortress believed to be at the center of a major crime organization. At first, the Kelly brothers are suspected of involvement, but Kate is sure Tick poses no danger—except for the slow-burning gaze that makes her breath catch and her heart race…

A story that could be ripped from the headlines! Intrigue,tragedy,humor,and a happy ever after! Story keeps you reading and it moves right along. Great characters and easy to follow. As a fan of her series books,this stand alone is a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book until the ending

S. · September 18, 2024

The ending just fell apart. Story goes from critical action finding the girl, car blowing up, and then immediately 11 months later a triple wedding? No follow up on the investigation, catching the traffickers, the big mfic in the US. It’s almost like the author procrastinated writing the book and only had a few hours to quick finish before deadline. Big disappointment from this author as she’s usually a decent writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and intriguing

An incredible story about people in law enforcement and how not all of them act ethnically! Tick, a former cop, lost his wife and two kids to a drug addicted murderer. After spending a couple years in an alcoholic stupor, he pulled himself together and became a writer. When the DEA becomes suspicious of a abandoned house near him, they send a couple of agents to investigate. Lots of bizarre things lead to an amazing conclusion! Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars intriguing story line.

”left too many questions unanswered and was a slow starter”; “book was so poorly written”; “why the characters were saying or responding to each other's dialogue they way they did”; “The parrot was a hoot!”; and “the only memorable character in the book was the hero's parrot!” All of these are excerpts from some of the reviews listed on Bolo for this story.It’s been many years since I picked up a Fern Michael’s story. With Southern Comfort I’m reminded why that is so. Heroine Kate Rush, DEA agent, has burned many bridges behind her especially since she is at odds with her boss. After being set up by her boss to meet with an informant in Miami, she is left to fend for herself in the middle of a hurricane when the informant is a no-show. A fed up Kate quits her job but before she can officially be mustered out she needs to complete one last assignment. She and another ex-agent named Sandy are to pose as tourists camping out on the beach at Mango Key while they conduct surveillance of the mansion of a jailed drug lord. There has been suspicious activity and these two will be the eyes and ears of the agency.Patrick Kelly, known by the moniker of Tick, has been living on Mango Key for some years after leaving the world behind when his family died in a tragic accident. He sought, and found, solace in alcohol which helped him survive the trauma. Once sober, he turned his knowledge into writing police thrillers and is a bestselling author. His cottage, which he has restored slowly, came with a delightful Spanish speaking parrot who, in this reader’s opinion, was the star of the book. When the two lady agents take up their spot on the beach in a run-down trailer, Tick becomes suspicious and his police training kicks in.There is much more going on at the drug lord’s fortress and encampment than meets the eye. Tick and his brother, who has come for a visit, team up with Kate and Sandy to uncover the illegal operations being run beneath their noses. Together they “uncover a web of betrayal, blackmail, and ruthless greed”.While the plot of the story is a good one, there is much left unexplored. The characters seem to go in circles like a Chinese Fire Drill. Lack of communication is key to the story and once that is resolved so is the story.Southern Comfort is average, not quite dull yet not quite the thriller it could have been. There is a blossoming romance that blooms much too quickly and in this respect it fails as a romance.Perfect book for the beach or a long airplane ride where you are captive and bored.

4.0 out of 5 stars Predictable Story

K.C. · September 11, 2024

Over the years I have read most, if not all the books Fern Michaels has written. When you read a lot of books, it's always disappointing when you know that the ending was going to be wrapped in a big red bow.I just feel like she starts out with good characters but I could tell you what the storyline was going to be about & it would end with every person finding their happy forever person.The author needs to decide if she's able to write a great mystery all the way to the end. You can't make these women bad ass DEA agents who just happen to meet two fantastic cops, solve a high profile case & then they all get married.
