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).

Whines, “Southern Style”

I honestly could no wait for this book to be over. There was enough substance to keep me going but the females in this book are just annoying, whiny, needy, and overly dramatic. The mother came across as a nervous Nellie with extreme anxiety and a codependent relationship with her three annoying daughters. I just couldn’t stand it. I feel a little ignorant
having listened to the whole thing.

Not for me...

I really tried to like this book, but I found myself rolling my eyes the whole time that I just couldn't finish. If you are into chick-lit you will love this series, but it was a no for me.

Continues the story

Third book and through the third daughters pov was generally sweet story but dragged a little bit but good expansion of the story.

Southern side of paradise

An incredible waste of time. There is no story. Can’t finish it. Would not recommend this book for any audience.

Predictable

Author should have added a few more Chapters to Book 1 in the Series rather than adding 2 whole books. Book 2 was full of explanation already covered in Book 1, Book 3 still touched too much on same, but not quite as much. Story was too slow, too predictable.

Too drawn out, would have been better as a single book.

So very entertaining!!

The book itself is great the performance makes it fantastic!!! I enjoyed the sisters so much!!!

Excellent story

The narrators in this series are really good. I love their vocal presentation for the characters.

Love

I love this author!!! Binging her books right now. I hope she writes more with these characters!

Another heartfelt book!

Complete with love, kinship, community, forgiveness, the reality of life’s ups and downs. This book series will show you that we all have stories, challenges and triumphs in life and they all lead us, down the path God intended for us to be.

Great Read

The Southern Side of Paradise (Peachtree Bluff #3) was a great read by Kristy Woodson Harvey. Ansley should be content with the man of her dreams in her life again, and her three daughters happy. But everything seems to good to be true. Her youngest daughter and actress Emerson is recently engaged and landed the role of a lifetime. But something is worrying her and it has nothing to do with her recent health scare. Unfortunately two new women arrive in Peachtree Bluff that could wreck Ansley;s happiness and tear Emerson’s world apart. Secrets that were never meant to be told, could break the powerful bond between the sisters and their mother. I loved reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
