Review / Release Blitz: Bayou With Benefits (Badges of the Bayou #2) by Erin Nicholas

They are friends. Without benefits. Unfortunately.

Bayou with Benefits, an all-new single dad, small town rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is now available!


Michael LeClaire is small-town Louisiana. A firefighter. A single dad.

And Amelia Landry is New York City. A social media influencer. A model.

Sure, she’s his son’s favorite person on the planet.

And yeah, their families spend so much time together it’s hard to remember who shares DNA and who just shares secrets, inside jokes, and a sincere lack of boundaries.

And okay, he’s seen her nerdy side. Her sweet side. Her funny, self-deprecating side.

Fine, yes, resisting this woman has taken a saint’s share of willpower.

But he has to. He just cannot do long-distance. And he can’t have a casual fling with someone he’s known–and will know–forever.

Thankfully, he only has to hide his feelings a few times a year when she visits.

And then, he slips. One time. One spontaneous I-knew-it-would-be-everything kiss and he’s a goner.
Now every time they see each other it’s harder and harder to ignore the heat.

And when she shows up on his doorstep after a car accident changes her entire life, there’s no way he can resist the chance to see if this can last…or if they’ll finally flame out.



MY REVIEW

Michael and Ami (Amelia) have been dancing around their more than friendly feelings for months now. They've kissed but not anything further. He knows he can't start anything because a) he lives here in Autre and she lives in New York, b) she's one of his closest friend's sister, c) if (when) they broke up, everyone would be in their business, and d) they just wouldn't work. Then bam, one night an accident changes Michael's perspective, makes him realize he could have lost it all, could have lost her, and now he realizes he can have it all, wants it all. Now he has to see if she wants the same.

Ami has always been "the pretty one." One of her sisters is the bubbly one. The other is the smart one. Ami is just the one with the face that launched her modeling career. But now that career is in her past and she's back home. But it's not bad, because she loves being back home. She loves Andre, Michael's son. She loves Michael too. Will Michael still want her even though she's no longer "the pretty one"?

Oh boy but this story tugged on my heartstrings more than a bit. Michael with his hero/fixer tendencies, just wanting to fix everything for Ami. Ami a fixer too, even if in disguise, and Michael not realizing it. Andre with his poor little heart not wanting to see his best friend hurt and scarred. And all their friends and families having to deal with Ami's sudden change of career, sudden change in appearance. I may have wanted to smack Ami's mom for having given her such a complex about her looks, but I love how Ami handled it. Thank God she's strong and dealt with it all with grace and strength. And thank God she had such a sweet hero for a partner, and such a wonderful best friend in Andre. I loved this trio and how they finally got on the same page and made themselves into a family.

Blog Tour & Review: The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin

The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin Release Date: April 28th The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée, a sexy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin. I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella. My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed appropriately for a yacht vacation. I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet nothing like the supermodels and socialites I usually have on my arm. Somebody too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only. If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better. Should be easy. Right? Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser. What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most frustrating woman in the world. Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet ha...
