Description

Sparks fly in Louisiana's Butterfly Bayou when a Hollywood starlet falls for a local deputy in a small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
 
After leaving the military, Major Blanchard moved to Papillon, Louisiana, to be with his aging father, where he's taken a deputy position with the sheriff’s department. Now that he’s settling into life on the bayou, he’s trying out the dating scene. Every single woman in town seems to be pining after the handsome newcomer. But so far, nothing’s worked out, and he’s had some spectacularly bad dates. Major’s getting ready to give up on love when a new lady roars into town to film a movie and turns his world upside down.
 
Actress Brynn Pearson is trying to make a successful transition from child star to leading lady. Now that she’s landed her first lead in a major film, nothing can stop her. She's committed to focusing solely on her work, so romance is the last thing she needs—too bad she can’t get her mind off the dreamy deputy she keeps running into. He’s gorgeous, and something about him makes her feel safe. As Brynn’s feelings for Major deepen, she starts to wonder if maybe there’s more to life than her career.
 
When a family crisis throws Major’s life into a tailspin, he turns to Brynn for support, and hopes their budding relationship will shine brighter than Hollywood lights.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the whole Butterfly Bayou series! Each character had depth and the quirky town and it’s people were funny! I love the epilogues and we get to catch up with characters from past books! Now waiting for the last in series and hoping that more will be added to the series! Fun books!
  • Loved, loved, loved it!

    Small town living is a lot…a lot of fun, a lot of gossip, a lot of nosy citizens and a cool place to visit. Butterfly Bayou gets a visit from Hollywood in this story so the crazies keep on coming! Brynn is a sweet young actress who’s down to earth and adorable. Major starts out as a grumbly guy but really is just a guy dealing with some personal issues. He’s really a sweetheart with a big heart and an adorable dog. Their meet-cute had me laughing and it just seemed so fitting for their personalities. The issues start when that encounter goes viral and Brynn’s momster…um, mother/agent comes to town. Yikes, what a piece of work this one is. Any time she was on page, the Wicked Witch of the West theme played in me head! And while I understand that characters get redeemed in romance books, I often think their road to forgiveness isn’t as rocky as it deserves to be. Momma Pearson is one of those. Major and Brynn had chemistry galore, but they also had a caring friendship almost right from the start. The conflict and angst was primarily from outside forces but stubbornness from within causes misunderstandings, not enough communication and some harsh words. There wasn’t as much steam as I thought there would be, which is not a complaint, just an observation. It’s by no means a “sweet” romance, just a lower heat scale than some by Ms. Blake. I love going back to the bayou and enjoy every visit I make…and then can’t wait to go back again soon!
