Beauty and the Bayou is Here!
Sexy, romantic and so crazy fun.”
-- Maria Luis, Amazon bestselling author
Beauty and the Bayou, an all-new sexy, small town, opposites attract rom com from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!
Sawyer Landry knows he's been beastly to be around for the past few months. But he can't seem to remember how to be fun-loving and friendly. Until he sees Juliet Dawson on his boat dock... and realizes that hip waders are, apparently, one of his turn-ons. But despite the beauty in the boots, the last thing he needs right now is a city girl in his way for the next two weeks.
But he's not really getting a vote. Juliet is determined that her little brother rebuild the dock he and his idiot friends smashed. She's quirky, klutzy, independent...and possibly an even bigger pessimist than Sawyer is. He's incredibly drawn to the cynical fish-out-of-water, who seems to be the one person who isn't intimidated by his growling.
The big, gruff boat captain is the first person in a long time to want to watch out for her and Juliet finds that hotter than his grandma's jambalaya. Well, that and his sexy scar, his emotional baggage, and the sense of humor and fun that is buried deep.
But Sawyer doesn't need any more people to worry about long-term and the things that make him feel protective of Juliet aren't going to go away. So, this two-week adventure can't be anything more than a fling. With Juliet down on the bayou, there's an even bigger threat than alligators and hurricanes. There's the very good chance of someone ending up with a broken heart.
My Review
For the past day and a half I’ve been stalking my Kindle and synching it every five minutes to see if this book had downloaded, and when it finally did, the rest of my world ground to a halt so I could dig into this one. I’ve been dying to read Sawyer's story and knew it would be epic!
Since the beginning of this series, the Landry clan has owned my heart. But viewing them from Juliet and Chase Dawson's point of view, I fell in love with them all over again. Juliet and her brother Chase are about as southern as snowshoeing, but when Chase and his buddies “borrow" an airboat from the Boys of the Bayou Swamp Boat and Fishing Tours one night and end up crashing it into the dock, Juliet is determined that they spend a couple of weeks in Autre, Louisiana, so her brother can rebuild the dock, learn some responsibility, and hopefully be around guys who will be a good influence.
Juliet is a planner, and quirky enough that her quirks have quirks. She has an accordion file for everything and, no matter the situation, Juliet runs through all of the “what ifs" so she can anticipate the unexpected and be fully prepared. But with all of her painstaking advance planning, nothing could have prepared her for Sawyer Landry.
Sawyer, bless his heart, is a heartbreak and a half. He lost his best friend to the bayou he loves so much, and now he's obsessed with keeping everyone safe, preferably tucked away in bubble wrap. He’s lived the days since Tommy's death being uptight and worried, and hasn’t seen a glimmer of the old, laid back Mr. Nice Guy in all that time. But Juliet has him feeling things he hasn’t felt in a long time and wanting to do things he hasn’t done in the last nine months. Like smile. And laugh.
Juliet and Sawyer both have traits that might be off putting to the average person. To those who love and understand them those traits are patiently accepted, and it isn’t long before the reader understands and loves these characters, as well. Regardless of their flaws, Juliet and Sawyer are both strong, compassionate characters, and it quickly becomes apparent how their strengths benefit each other.
This series just keeps getting better and better. With plenty of laughs and more Landry craziness, this one goes even deeper. Juliet and Sawyer both have a lot from their past that they're dealing with, but there's something especially endearing when a character accepts their flaws and works to be their best version of self, and it’s especially beautiful when Sawyer and Juliet's broken pieces fit the other so perfectly. Their challenges are authentic, their struggles believable, and their growth is inspiring.
Not only do we get these two amazing characters and the rest of the Landrys, but we get to reunite with a few characters from The Boys of the Big Easy Series, including nine-year-old Stella who asked Sawyer to marry her and her scary-smart, serious stepbrother Cooper, who is nine going on forty. And it's little Cooper who offers the words of wisdom that are so helpful to Juliet. Well, that, as well as the whole Landry clan. Because to Juliet, people who will support her and have her back, no questions asked, is more than she can resist.
Clever, witty and sarcastic, this one has undeniable chemistry and plenty of steam, but also more than its share of tugs at the heartstrings, making this a hilarious, poignant, delightful read that you won’t want to miss! Get your copy via the links below. Until next time, dear reader
