I once met a man on a cold Halloween night. He dressed as a superhero, and I dressed in red. For one night, I was his break from reality, and he was the temporary fix for my broken heart.
Two years later, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to become a senior editor at one of the biggest magazine companies in the world. The only catch? Nail an exclusive interview with New York’s finest bachelor: Connor Roe.
To the rest of the world he was becoming one of the wealthiest men in New York City. To me, he was simply my once upon a time superhero.
My job was to get an exclusive interview with New York’s hottest bachelor. Never in my life did I expect him to want an exclusive with my heart, too.
The only problem with my growing feelings for him? I was set to marry his new business partner.
Y’all, I hope you’ve read Eastern Lights already, but it’s okay to just tell me you hated Connor in Southern Storms and never want to hear from him again. Okay, okay, I’m just being a tad dramatic but I freakin love Connor. I was all aboard the Connor getting his own book train. And the best part? It’s almost a BCherry rom-com. Just a little less sad Brittainy and you’ll be there!
I fell in love with Aaliyah from the very beginning, my heart ached for her, like it does with every single BCherry character, but I had hope that this would turn out in the way we needed it to. My heart also ached with Connor, but I made it to 79%, chapter 36b before I actually cried. I made it to 87% in Southern Storms before tears fell, otherwise I teared up in all of the flashbacks in Eastern Lights.
Connor goes through his fair share of let downs, but he stays true to his southern roots and silly-ness that was what made us fall in love with him in Southern Storms, that’s definitely important to his story line. I know that some people need tragic things to happen and it changes them for the worse and later we find out what, why and it makes sense but I am forever going to love that Connor didn’t change.
Connor and Aaliyah have a friendship to lovers feel and that’s one of my favorite genres to read, I know we can see the attraction from the beginning, but I love that it’s some what of a slow burn, I love them, so so much. My favorite part is Halloween night and their nicknames, how they kept with them all night and even still two years later. Red and Captain are forever going to be a favorite couple of mine.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t already dying to get my hands on Damian…I mean his book, definitely his book…I love how in Southern Storms, Connor was the main side character and in Eastern Lights it was Damian. He’s going to hurt us, I can already feel it and I’m ready for it. Give me all the hurt Brittainy…I might regret that when I actually get my hands on his book, I’ll deal with the outcome later, with lots of tissues and chocolate.
