If you’re looking for a good romance story with a mixture of fun, sweet, emotions, and lovable characters, Tessa Teevan never fails to deliver! I have read her first 2 full-length novels and loved both, and this short story is no different!
I am a huge fan of second-chance romances. That is basically the only drama I can embrace with open arms. Then taboo relationships (office romances, student-teacher especially) and it doesn’t hurt if there’s a good age difference too. SSS is a good second-chance, “years after” love story.
Sweet Southern Sorrow, although overall short and a quick read, it still packs that “oomph!” that hits you in your heart. I sure felt it. Not even past 1% and I was crying, I did not expect that to happen at all. I know I expected this to be sweet and that I’ll love Sawyer, but I was not prepared to be crying at 2:30am! Tessa amazingly wrote Sawyer and Cheyenne’s story that makes me want for more. <b>I want more.</b>
Their story started one summer, both felt alone, quite lost, and they found each other. They found comfort, strength, company, and love. And then it ended because of rash decisions and well, because they’re both young and thought it was for the best. It was heartbreaking reading what led to their separation, but it was a sweet feeling when they found each other again.

The symbolism of the swallow in this book is brilliant. It fits the story perfectly.
(Maybe I should get a swallow tattoo, too? Hmm. That’s an idea.)
Sweet Southern Sorrow is a heartwarming read, it will make you smile, make you hurt, and will probably make you mad too. But most importantly, you’ll love Sawyer and you will root for his and Cheyenne’s love story!

I swear Tessa Teevan must have like a secret recipe when it comes to writing romance. Seriously, she has perfected which ingredients to use when it comes to creating a perfect love story. And it seems like she never gets tired in producing these sweet creations. And Sweet Southern Sorrow is just another example of the many mouth-watering books Tessa has to offer. This book will leave readers begging more for a slice of Sawyer Callahan. Forget a slice...I just want Sawyer Callahan all to myself. Tessa~ Can I have Sawyer? All I can say is that Sweet Southern Sorrow had a perfect blend of ingredients. If I were to guess Tessa’s secret recipe to Sweet Southern Sorrow, I would have to say it consisted 2lbs of love, pinch of humor, 1lb of sweetness, 3 tablespoons angst, 2 spoonfuls of broken past, 1 cup of friendship, 1 zest of tenderness, and ¾ cups of second chances. Mix all those ingredients up and you got yourself a love story!!
Sweet Southern Sorrow is about one unforgettable summer that changed the lives of Cheyenne Hamilton and Sawyer Callahan. Sigh...young love!!! It was a summer of first love, friendship, and sadly heartbreak. Six years has passed, and it seems destiny and fate had plans for Sawyer and Cheyenne to cross paths. Unresolved answers, painful memories, and love soon begins to resurface. Can two broken hearts mend? Will Saywer and Cheyenne have a shot at a second chance and find a way back to each other’s heart? Or is the hurt to painful to forgive?
I love and adore Sweet Southern Sorrow. It was one of those books that left you smiling. I loved that Tessa was able to bring her readers down memory lane when Sawyer and Cheyenne first fell in love. She was able to tie in the past and present perfectly where the storyline flowed at a natural pace. The storyline was heartfelt and touching. The characters were honest and real. The emotions were raw. The book was just pure LOVE and TENDERNESS!! Sawyer and Cheyenne’s story was another prime example of first love and last love. It truly showcase two individuals who loved each other wholeheartedly and it was one of those loves you can forget. It brought a smile to my face to see after so many year apart, their love for each other remained constant. They were each other’s favorite hello, and each other’s hardest goodbye.
After I was done reading Sweet Southern Sorrow, I missed Sawyer Callahan!! Sigh!! He was just PERFECT!!! Tessa did it again, I have another book boyfriend to add to my growing list.. So far, I already have four of her male characters on my list: Jace, Knox, and Sawyer… Well, I know without a doubt Tessa is gonna produce many more future bookfriends.. I look forward to reading more of her works and can’t wait to add Cohen from Combust to that growing list of book boyfriends. All I can say is prepare to savor Sweet Southern Sorrow because you don’t want to miss out another epic love story that will make you believe in Fate, Love, and Second Chances.
