Bayou Sweetheart

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!

This book is so good I’m starting the series over again.

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!
