Publisher Description
After shrapnel hit his leg during battle, Gerard Guidry is medically discharged from Marine Force Recon and is recruited by Bayou Brotherhood Protectors. After a short assignment, he’s ready for his first major solo assignment. Gerard has sworn off love, afraid his father’s abusive gene was passed on to him.
Widowed and childless, Bernadette “Bernie” Bellamy single-handedly runs a small farm on the edge of Bayou Mambaloa, raising and selling fresh vegetables to stores and the farmers’ market. When someone kills her friend Gertrude, she goes to Bayou Brotherhood Protectors for help.
Gerard is a fish out of water on a farm, surrounded by animals. He’s never had a pet, nor dealt with animals on a one-on-one basis. Teamed with Bernie, he’s tasked with keeping her and her menagerie safe while determining who has it in for her little animal family. As they work together, danger and passion escalate, forcing Gerard to rethink his stance on love.

Gerard
Gerard by Elle James
Bayou Brotherhood Protectors series #2. Romantic suspense. Spinoff from Brotherhood Protectors. All series loosely connected, worth different locations. Can be read as a standalone.
Gerard joins the Bayou group of the Brotherhood Protectors and his first assignment is to find the person that broke the goose’s neck. Bernadette Bellamy owns and runs a small farm at the edge of the Bayou. First the dead goose, then a gruesome find in the mud of the pig pen and then a written threat. Gerard will help protect the pretty farmer and hopefully prevent any further damage on the farm that she can ill afford.
Watch out for those hogs. They will eat anything! Gerard and Bernie are immediately attracted and the danger escalates. Call the computer experts for some help with background and electronics, and call the rest of the protectors for support on any task needed.
Steamy and a rush of adrenaline as the bad guys are unearthed.
Formulaic, sure. But I look at these as proven sexy good times and a happy ever after with a strong and heroic ex-military men. There is always a bit of healing or dealing with PTSD, or family past trauma that is resolved as well which adds to the depth of happy.
Candy for the romance addiction.

Gerard is book 2 in the Bayou Brotherhood Protectors series by Elle James and back in Louisiana we go…
Up next is Gerard and Bernie’s story of solving the crime of her goose only to find a foot mired in the pig pen which leads to so much more. This story takes you on a ride you don’t see coming and keeps you glued til the last page when it all is explained. Can’t wait for more of these stories.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
