Josh Landry is one of the hottest bartenders in New Orleans. He's shown many a female tourist that things are definitely big and easy down here.
And he's now been celibate for a year. Because he finally met her.
Yes, her. The One.
But, after nothing more than a hot goodnight kiss and a promise to meet up again next year if they're both still interested, she went home to Iowa.
It's been a long year.
But now it's Mardi Gras again and he's ready for his happily ever after.
If she shows up.
***
Oh, she shows up. For her best friend's wedding.
But Tori is a terrible bridesmaid because all she can think about is her knight-in-shining-Mardi-Gras-beads from last year.
Well, and because she accidentally lays a hot kiss on her BFF.
Aka, the groom.
Unfortunately, no one believes that it was a case of mistaken identity. So, now she has to convince everyone she has no intention of ruining the wedding. She's going to need a crazy-about-her boyfriend ASAP. Even if he's just faking it.
Well there's only one other person she knows in Louisiana...
Josh is all in. In fact, he's thrilled. And he's not faking anything.
But the groom isn't faking his sudden case of cold feet either.
And now Tori might have a choice to make.

Hit by the Cupid Stick (Brimstone Inc #5) by Abigail Owen
All’s fair in love and… whatever this is.
This Valentine’s Day, when a cupid accidentally shoots himself with his own arrow, he falls for a siren whose only job is to lure men to their deaths.
Charismatic and irresistibly fun, Chance Eroson is a cupid who gets a kick from pairing odd couples and being right about them. Used to getting his way, the only person who shuts him down is the siren who has ruined more than one of his pairings before they started. But his bigger problem is he wants her. He’s always wanted her.
Elodie Sirenian uses her power for good, only hunting evil men. But after so long, and so many horrible people, her cynicism has settled deep inside. She can turn on the charm when she doesn’t mean it, and they fall for it. Every single one. Every single time.
Except Chance. He’s the only person — man or god — who has ever challenged her.
But a cupid’s magic is temporary. There’s no way a true love match is possible. Not this time.

****(4) out of 5 Stars
Studying auras was like a siren's road map of the human soul, telling her the most important information of who and what a person was in that moment.
This was a delightful little fantasy romance tale about a seemingly ill-matched couple. Set near Valentine's Day and involving a cupid, it would be the perfect read around the season of love. But, really, it makes for a good story any time of year!
His siren was a closet geek, and he sort of loved that about her.
Chance has been crazy about Elodie for ages, ever since their first meeting. Truth be told, she had been hopeless attracted to him for just as long; not that she'd ever admit it, especially not to herself. But with the excuse of the love arrow that impaled them both, she at least had some cover to let loose and enjoy some intimate time with Chance.
Sirens were off limits for other supernaturals to kill.
And enjoy it they did! There are some mighty toasty scenes that occur within this story, that's for sure. But there is also the development of a deeper connection between these two. As well as some outside intrigue and danger. Definitely a book that I recommend for a fun, romantic, dirty, and sweet read, all on the way to their very own happily-ever-after!

Say It Like You Mane It (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #6), an all-new sexy, opposites attract romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now!
What happens when a hellraiser turned hot cop is stuck with a headstrong heiress he’s determined to protect... and resist?
A run-away bride, wearing a freakin’ tiara, and carrying a stolen lion cub, of all things. This was not how rowdy, bad-boy-turned-small-town-cop, Zander Landry expected his day to go.
He really didn’t expect his night to end with her sleeping in his bed after her near-kidnapping.
But his intense attraction to her and the feelings of protectiveness she stirs up? Oh, yeah, he knew those were coming.
She’s stunning, whip-smart, and trouble with a capital T.
Which means, he needs her to head right back the way she came. ASAP.
His town is exactly the way he wants it... crazy and trouble free.
Well, the crazy trouble he’s not related to anyway.
Stranded in a tiny town in her half-million-dollar wedding gown with no money and no place to go... today is going pretty much exactly the way Caroline Holland expected it to.
But the grumpy, tattooed, oh-my-god hot cop being the answer to all her problems isn’t at all what she expected.
Now that she’s turned all the criminal (and obnoxious) info about her exotic-animal-dealing ex-fiance over to Zander, she can kick back in a hammock with some sweet tea and relax.
Or not.
Turns out Caroline’s not the spoiled heiress Zander thinks she is. The gorgeous hellion wants in on the action and soon discovers just how dirty things can get in the bayou. And the bedroom.
More and more, Zander just wants her safe on the sidelines. But Caroline isn’t going anywhere until justice is done.
It’s a clash of wills that’s gonna get hotter than a crawfish boil in July. And the most fun the Landry family has had watching sparks fly since... well, the last book.

This was... not my favorite Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild tale. I don't know why; this story was perfectly fine. But I just wasn't feeling it this time around! Maybe it was just the extremely slow burn aspect of their romance, but there just wasn't a lot of obvious chemistry between Zander and Caroline. Plus, they were both rather annoying and kept perseverating on their own things. Additionally, the main premise of the story was also very slow, with not a lot going on there, or even making much sense. Sadly, I was just rather disappointed in this one. Not to mention, I couldn't figure out how they would even be able to be together in the future, given Caroline's new-found career path. It was still a book about the Landrys, so that is always fun. And there was a lot of interaction between many of the family members in this episode. But even much of that felt rather forced. As did the introduction of several new characters, who it seems quite apparent could be starring in future books. Who knows though, maybe by the next time we visit the bayou I'll be feeling it more! Still, as with just about any book by Erin Nicholas, it was definitely this side of bad, just not quite as stellar as some of her others.
