Publisher's summary

From internationally best-selling author and “rising star of Southern fiction” (Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times best-selling author) Kristy Woodson Harvey comes the third novel in her Peachtree Bluff series, in which a secret threatens the tight-knit bond between a trio of sisters and their mother.

With the man of her dreams back in her life and all three of her daughters happy, Ansley Murphy should be content. But she can’t help but feel like it’s all a little too good to be true.

Meanwhile, youngest daughter and actress Emerson, who is recently engaged and has just landed the role of a lifetime, seemingly has the world by the tail. Only, something she can’t quite put her finger on is worrying her - and it has nothing to do with her recent health scare.

When two new women arrive in Peachtree Bluff - one who has the potential to wreck Ansley’s happiness and one who could tear Emerson’s world apart - everything is put in perspective. And after secrets that were never meant to be told come to light, the powerful bond between the Murphy sisters and their mother comes crumbling down, testing their devotion to each other and forcing them to evaluate the meaning of family.

With Kristy Woodson Harvey’s signature charm, wit, and heart, The Southern Side of Paradise is another masterful Peachtree Bluff novel that proves she is a “Southern writer with staying power” (Booklist).

Enjoyable But...

I enjoyed following the story of the mom and three sisters. These are easy reads and have enough substance to keep you engaged throughout each book. I do wish the author wasn’t so focused on weight and appearance. There is a thread that follows all three books and each of the sisters and mom. It’s unnecessary and disappointing.

Good series

Of the three sisters, I found Emerson a little annoying. Her reaction to Jack being the father of Caroline and Sloan a little over the top and her treatment of Ansley disgusting. I hope if I were ever in that position I would react less self centered. Her total inability to face her life struggles head on was a little hard to take.
Jack was certainly the most patient of men when dealing with Ansley. Ansley finally recognized that her future was with Jack.
That being said, I really enjoyed this series and found the narrators to be exceptional. I really appreciated that a different narrator was used for each book/sister.

Great Story!

This was very entertaining and a great additional perspective to the drama of the Murphy girls.

Loved it!

This 3rd book in the trilogy was just as good as the first two were. I love this story!

Another good read

Always enjoyable. Good story telling and a satisfying ending to the trilogy. Will read more of this author.

I loved this whole trilogy!

All 3 of the Peachtree Bluff books were very good. I laughed, I cried, I fumed, all of those emotions! When a book can pull all of those out of me it is a really good story or in this case trilogy!

Love watching all the characters involved and can’t wait to read the next book!

Each book keeps me hooked even more!! I can’t wait to see what happens next! Definitely recommend!!

another great summer read

this series is a favorite of mine. The plot as well as the readers do not disappoint.

Brilliant love this entire series

Wow! What a page turned you don't want to put it down . Full of hope , humor , tears and family. I would recommend reading or listening to the entire series.
Well done Kirsty Woodson Harvey looking forward to reading/listening to your other books. Awesome job Jenet Metzger and Rebekkah Ross for the audible preseentation.

Satisfying conclusion to trilogy

I have enjoyed each Audible version of the Peachtree Bluff trilogy. The narration has been spot on for each character.
