BOOK REVIEW for "Four Weddings and a Swamp Boat Tour (Boys of the Bayou, #6)" by Erin Nicholas


Four Weddings and a Swamp Boat Tour 
(Boys of the Bayou, #6)
by Erin Nicholas

She’s been proposed to five times.
Five.
She even said yes to one of them.
And then broke his heart when she called it off. Not to mention her mother’s heart. And her grandmother’s. And his mother’s. And… you get the picture.

Paige Asher has now officially sworn off all dating. Diamonds give her hives.

All she wants is to be a yoga-doing, cat-collecting, vegetarian in peace. 
Away from her marriage-crazy family and all their expectations.

So when her weekend fling turns into a real friend and offers her a place to escape, she finds herself on his doorstep in Louisiana. And right in the middle of not just one family wedding, but three. Of course.

Charming, sexy bayou boy Mitch Landry gets stuff done. Whatever anyone needs. From alligator-sitting to getting a buddy drunk to showing a woman a good time to fixing a swamp boat, he’s the man. No problem. No drama.

But he wants a hell of a lot more from Paige than a temporary friends-with-benefits arrangement. He wants to take care of her. And her five cats. He also really wants other men to stop asking her to marry them.

But if a roommate and a few orgasms are all she wants, that’s what he’ll deliver.

He can just be her friend and not commit the greatest sin of all… 
asking her for forever.

Probably.

****(4) out of 5 

The story of Mitch and Paige, much as I suspected, was utterly delightful!  We first get a good view of them in their prequel story, Oh, Fudge (billed as book #5 in the Hot Cakes series), also by Erin Nicholas.  Okay, and a couple of tiny little peeks before that even.  =) 

Mitch is a total doll!  He totally took to heart his dad's advice from his youth: "Be helpful, be grateful, make yourself useful, make them glad to have you around."  And just about every glimpse we see of him, he is ready and willing to help out someone or other, whether he's related to them or not.  He's just basically an all-around great guy.  And he's so head-over-heels for Paige that after falling for her hard and fast, he completely changes his playboy ways.  Which has been a bit hard, considering that she's several hundred miles and a few states away.  It's no wonder then that he's completely flabbergasted and thrilled when she shows up unexpectedly on his doorstep.  

Paige is also crazy in love with Mitch, but she's such a commitment-phobe that she doesn't want to admit it, even to herself.  So she tries to just pretend that there's nothing (much) between them.  But the fact that Mitch is the first place she even thinks to go when she needs an escape is very telling.  Not to mention that, even when they try to keep their distance, she falls for him even more.  And his big, crazy family.  And their home.  Finally, she finds somewhere that she really belongs, and eventually she discovers what that means to her and her future. 

This was an adorable story, that I really enjoyed reading.  I was perturbed at first when Paige came for a hot fling and they ended up being just friends instead.  And there were some parts of the book that seemed to be kind of skimmed over, that I thought could have used some more fleshing out.  But overall it was a great book.  It was especially fun to see so much of so many characters from prior books.  Seeing how they interacted with both Mitch and Paige was totally enjoyable.  This is definitely a book and a series that I highly recommend.  I'm sad to see it end, but so excited for the forthcoming spin-off series, Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild!

I received a free eBook copy of this title from Social Butterfly PR, 

and have willingly provided an honest review.
