Publisher Description
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.

Entertaining and Witty
Bayou Beloved ( Butterfly Bayou #6) is the perfect addition to this entertaining series. I love my visits to Papillon, Louisiana and I was excited for Quaid Havery and Jayna Cardet’s story and all I will say is I wasn’t disappointed, this read was everything I expected and so much more. Jayna finds herself back in Papillon, it wasn’t what she planned but she needs to make the best of the situation. What she didn’t expect was to find herself as opposing council to her high school crush, Quaid and this is where the fun and games begin…… This town is full of quirky characters who like to meddle in everyone’s life and they take it on themselves to push Jayna and Quaid together and off course we wouldn’t be in Papillon without a visit from Otis the local alligator. I loved everything about this entertaining read, I adored the characters and I giggled and I smiled a lot as I joined this couple on their journey. A wonderful addition to a series that I highly recommend. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Entertaining
The latest addition to Lexi Blake’s series and it was great to be back in Papillon, Louisiana also known as Butterfly Bayou. I feel as though I am transported to the Bayou such is the power of Ms. Blake’s writing.
Papillon is a quirky small town with just as quirky and entertaining characters who are fun and often meddle with no thought to withholding their opinions. They are determined to express it which often makes for head shaking and laugh out loud moments. Add in Otis the alligator who wanders Papillon and it makes me smile and feel as though I am catching up with old friends.
This is Quaid Havery and Jayna Cardet story and was a good addition to the series. Jayna has returned home, not something she planned to do, but fate often works in mysterious ways. Suddenly she finds herself as opposing council against her high school crush, Quaid and that’s when they fun really begins.
As they reacquaint themselves, lines are crossed, and a connection is born. Will it be the start of a lifetime of happiness or it all end in tears?
