Bayou Beloved

The Butterfly Bayou Series, Book 6

By: Lexi Blake

Narrated by: Jessica Almasy

When a woman returns home to Louisiana’s Butterfly Bayou, her high school crush finally notices she exists, in a small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.

Quaid Havery always planned to follow in his father’s footsteps. He went to law school and then came home to take over his dad’s legal practice. Being the only lawyer in small-town Papillon, Quaid is pretty sure he’s seen everything. After all, he was once asked to sue an alligator for defamation of character. He’s prepared for anything the town can throw at him, until he encounters Jayna Cardet. She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, and unlike any woman he’s met before … Except he has.

Jayna never thought she’d return to Papillon, but when her life gets turned around she must learn to live in the close-knit community again. She certainly never dreamed she would practice law in her little town, but she finds herself in the courtroom, and the opposing counsel is her former high school crush, Quaid. It wouldn’t be so bad if the man had developed a beer belly, but Quaid is more handsome than ever. And instead of ignoring her like he did in high school, he’s made it plain that he wants to get to know her.

Thus begins a courtship destined to end in a wedding or a war. Either way, the locals are popping some corn and eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Fun!

I've come to expect certain things from Lexi Blake's stories: 3-dimenentional characters I can care about, believable situations and problems, enough quirks to entertain, and finally, humor.
This book has all of these qualities, but the most important thing to know is that when the book ended, I was grinning.

OMGosh what a fabulous series

This is book 6 of an entirely delightful series. Start at number one and begin your journey into Papillon Louisiana with the many adventures and wonderful characters……including Brian the raccoon. The narration is lively and excellent. Enjoy the fun.

Read

The story line was good. the author was able to have characters that seem real. the narrator was able to convince the " reader" that we were in Louisiana.

Bayou series.

The character development was great. I knew every one. It made me laugh out loud.

Another great book in the series

I love Lexi Blake books. I'm sad the series is over and seriously need one last book that brings all the characters back in order to find out the fate of Brian and his crime posse. I need answers.
