Publisher Description
Sparks fly in Louisiana's Butterfly Bayou when a Hollywood starlet falls for a local deputy in a small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
After leaving the military, Major Blanchard moved to Papillon, Louisiana, to be with his aging father, where he's taken a deputy position with the sheriff’s department. Now that he’s settling into life on the bayou, he’s trying out the dating scene. Every single woman in town seems to be pining after the handsome newcomer. But so far, nothing’s worked out, and he’s had some spectacularly bad dates. Major’s getting ready to give up on love when a new lady roars into town to film a movie and turns his world upside down.
Actress Brynn Pearson is trying to make a successful transition from child star to leading lady. Now that she’s landed her first lead in a major film, nothing can stop her. She's committed to focusing solely on her work, so romance is the last thing she needs—too bad she can’t get her mind off the dreamy deputy she keeps running into. He’s gorgeous, and something about him makes her feel safe. As Brynn’s feelings for Major deepen, she starts to wonder if maybe there’s more to life than her career.
When a family crisis throws Major’s life into a tailspin, he turns to Brynn for support, and hopes their budding relationship will shine brighter than Hollywood lights.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
Oh how I love my visits to Papillon, Louisiana also known as Butterfly Bayou. Ms. Blake’s writing is so descriptive that I could easily imagine myself in the Bayou. Papillon is a quirky little town with characters who are fun, entertaining and often meddling. They all have an opinion and are determined to express it which can make for some laugh out loud moments. There’s also a wandering alligator named Otis who pops up at the oddest moments.
This time it is Major Blanchard and actress Brynn Pearson who are front and centre. Major Blanchard has recently moved to town and is a deputy sheriff and all the lades want to date him. However it isn’t until Brynn arrives in the town that his interest really spikes.
The last thing Brynn needs is to fall for the deputy, she’s there to do a job, not find love, but the heart wants who the heart wants and complications quickly arise.
As they get to know one another, lines will be crossed and an emotional connection is forged. Could Major be the one to challenge Brynn’s belief in love?
Bayou Sweetheart is a well written, emotional, witty story that will draw you in and leave you wanting more.
