Gotta Be Bayou, by Erin Nicholas

 

Gotta Be Bayou, by Erin Nicholas, is a wonderful story to start to her new series, Badges of the Bayou; plus it’s another “can’t put down,” “laugh out loud” tale, with wit, heat, heart, love, and the unexpected; everything I've come to love about her books and Autre, Louisiana. This is Max and Spencer's story; an opposites attract romance with a forced proximity, a touch of mystery, and unrealistic expectations. These two connected at a Landry wedding in Autre, after getting drunk on a bit of moonshine drinking. There was definitely a strong attraction between them despite wanting different things out of life. Spencer’s girlfriend list is a wonderful example of his unrealistic expectations. Spencer is a Landry and a FBI agent, who protects all, but especially those that matter to him. He is all grumpy and snarly on the outside but inside he is a soft, cinnamon roll. Max is an investigator report, out to expose the bad happening out there and righting the wrongs of the world. Surprisingly, Max can meet Spencer grump for grump, if not out-grump him. When a death threat is made against Max, Spencer goes into protective mode, even if he isn’t assigned the role, wanting, or rather needing, to make sure she is kept safe and alive. Hiding her in Autre is the safest place he can think of, but keeping it a secret will be a challenge.

Max and Spencer are wonderful, rich characters with interesting childhoods, molding them into the adults they are. Their sharing and understanding of each other was heartwarming as was seeing them open up and explain their drive and behavior. The witty dialog, flirting and sometimes crazy situations was often hilarious, as was their interactions with their friends, family, and the animals in Autre. The sparks and chemistry between them were off the charts, enough to set anything near them aflame. The magic, love and support of the Landrys as well as spending time in close quarters helped their feelings grow into a relationship and the possibility of a future together for Max and Spencer. I highly recommend Gotta Be Bayou to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat.
