Sweet Home Louisiana by Erin Nicholas (Boys of the Bayou #2)

🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

The part I love most about the Boys of the Bayou series, is while the main focus is on the two main characters - secondary characters from previous stories have a strong recurring role throughout the book. So it's always like a mini extension of the previous books you've loved!

I absolutely adore Owen and Maddie's story. While she sees their chemistry as a potential disaster, the feelings they had when they were younger have only come back stronger. Crazy hijinks stemmed from jealousy, will keep you in stitches.

Maddie has learned to bottle her feelings and pour it into a creative outlet, but after being back in Autre, her ability to paint becomes non-existent. After she finds herself acting out and doing things she normally would never do, she's reminded why she left in the first place.

Throughout the story, I kept going back and forth on if I wanted them to end up back together, whether that meant HE moved to California, or SHE moved back to Autry. I even started to wonder if it'd be best for them if they stayed apart...and I really hated that feeling, but it just means I loved the characters enough to want the best for them.

Maddie is welcomed back into the fold, by people who have always been like a second family to her. It broke my heart to hear about how her brother died and you can feel her heartache through the pages.

Sweet Home Louisiana makes me want to move to the south (if only it wasn't so bloody hot and didn't had Thor-sized bugs). Erin Nicholas perfectly embodies the characters in her writing and you can't help but feel completely immersed in the story, and it's always over too soon for my liking. Absolutely loved it!

Summary:
After being left a share in the swamp boat tour company when her brother died in a tragic accident, Madison Allain must travel back to her hometown for 30 days before she can legally sell to someone else.

The only problem with that, is her past is still there, ready to bring out the crazy in her and potentially wreak havoc.

Owen Landry has never gotten over his first love, so when she's forced to come back, he has his guard up. Can they really fight their chemistry, that's only gotten hotter in the last 12 years?
