My Title Says It All. My Updates did too! PEOPLE...if you love romance, you need to read Erin Nicholas. Erin Nicholas is a Genius in writing romance experiences you want to have for your own. She is able to key into what is truly important in life, relationships, our own insecurities that happen as we become who we are...and then has this ability to weave the teaching lessons into an amazingly funny, sexy, heartwarming tale.

She creates characters we want to come to life and spend time with. She sees what is important in parental relationships and will show their offsprings how to either cope or how to look at things another way.

I love the way she has taken a tricky concept, something that could have gone easily so off the rails and made it endearing, fun, and just enough. She gave us love wisdom from the older generation and the new love with the younger. She fought writing cliches and took on the appropriate ones and to quote American Idol OG Randy Jackson, Made Them Her Own.

This book is all about Mitch Landry and Paige Asher. They first meet in Erin Nicholas' Hot Cakes series entry, Oh, Fudge (Hot Cakes #5). They connected, had serious chemistry, and had been texting since that first meeting.

Paige is tired of the pressure to marry. Not only does she feel it from her family, but it seems she is a proposal magnet, having just turned down her 5th...and she is only twenty-two years old. Now in her part of Iowa, it is in keeping to marry young, create your life and live. Yet, for Paige, she never felt like that was her path...The only thing she has been sure about was her love of cats and yoga once she discovered it.

So when one of her dearest friends is getting married down in the Bayou where her new "friend" Mitch is...Paige decides to go down early to get away from everyone. She has a plan and with Mitch, she can have her sexy cake and be promised no proposals.

Now when Paige surprises Mitch at his house, he couldn't be happier. He is Cray Cray about this girl. She is sexy as hell, smart as a whip, and Mitch just feels better when around her. He also knows he has to hold back any feelings he has for her. If he even hints at wanting something more than "friends with benefits" she will run.

So that is Mitch's task, make Paige feel comfortable, have her stay as long as he can, and not have his family overwhelm her. A Huge Ask. But Mitch is going to do whatever he can for Paige, that is who he is.

O.M.G.

This Man, I Have No Words...well, I do but I won't bore you or share too much so it ruins the story. This man is loving, caring, and in my next life...I want him there. Paige is a good match as she is someone who is finding herself. She learns much from this Landry Family. Her time with them opened her heart, showed her what talents she had, and allowed her to be loved without catches.

This series is addictive like the other series concerning the Bayou and Hot Cakes. What is even more exciting...we are going to get more Bayou! The next series is Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild and the first entry is Otterly Irresistible (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild #1). Guess who it is with...Tee Hee...
Yup, Griffin and Charlie!
I. Can't. Wait.
