He never expected the woman would turn out to be the governor’s daughter…and his next assignment. The governor blackmails Jackson to secretly watch over Michaela and protect her from a stalker, or kiss his dream job at the FBI good-bye. Swearing to keep things strictly professional, Jackson moves in with Michaela. Too bad his heart can’t keep the same promise.
But when the stalker’s attacks quickly escalate beyond mere photographs to bodily harm, Jackson must race to save Michaela’s life. And he’ll have to figure out how to keep her once she discovers his lie.

My Review:
It was only supposed to be one night. One night of reckless abandon. One night of unbridled passion. One night of anonymity. Two lives passing in the night. The, Dr. Michaela Roarke walks into her father's home and comes face-to-face with the man she can't stop thinking about. Jackson Cantrell is shocked to find out the woman who rocked his world is none other than the governor's daughter, and he's being blackmailed into protecting her. There is a stalker on the loose who wants nothing more than to ruin Michaela's life and, in turn, the governor's.
A Night of Southern Comfort was an amazing romantic suspense novel. The author created a spectacular setting for this story, one that was easily visualized and perfectly staged. The stalker aspect was full of twists and turns and I enjoyed how the storyline played out. The revelation was shocking and the reason not all all what I preconceived in my mind. The romance was well executed and I loved that the one night stand became so much more.
The novel is fast-paced and, at 200 pages, is a quick and captivating read. The hero and heroine were likable characters, even if Michaela was a bit stubborn. Her daddy issues clouded her mind and judgment several times. The chemistry between Michaela and Jackson was off the charts. Every time they are together the page sizzles, and I'm not just talking about their bedroom sexcapades. They also have a connection deeper than just sexual, making their relationship much more meaningful. The epilogue is outstanding!! An excellent story with loveable characters. I can't wait to dive into the next book in The Boys Are Back in Town series.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
