Romance is the last thing she needs.
Bayou Sweetheart, an all-new heartfelt, small town romance featuring a hot cop and a Hollywood starlet from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, is available now!
Sparks fly in Louisiana's Butterfly Bayou when a Hollywood starlet falls for a local deputy in a new 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 who’s working security for the film. 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 the relationship growing between them will shine brighter than Hollywood lights.
My Thoughts:
This is a first for me of the series (and now I'll need to go back and read the first four in the series!) and I was instantly hooked! Lexi Blake creates such a full-bodied environment that you will find yourself unable to put the book down until you're finished.
Brynn and Major are both well-developed characters who were incredibly fun to read and fall in love with while they were busy falling in love! I was in tears (good, laughing tears!) at several moments and adored how their path to love was a bit outside of the box for each of them. It proves my personal belief that the best things always happen when we're not looking and when we least expect it.
I felt the weight Brynn carried in regard to her career and her need for pleasing others. It was divine alignment of her being in town and meeting Major. In finding herself, she discovered so much more than she could have ever imagined. Major also carries around a lot of responsibility (that isn't necessarily his to be carrying....but that heart can't help itself!). His transformation is equally satisfying.
While there are complications that Lexi Blake does a phenomenal job at weaving into the story, this isn't a heavy read and extremely charismatic. It will leave you with a smile and happy heart!
I received a complimentary copy for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
