Customer Reviews
Fast paced, intriguing, captivating
IN ISABEAU’S EYES is the first instalment in Lora Leigh’s contemporary adult KENTUCKY NIGHTS erotic, romantic suspense series-a spin off from the author’s NAUTI series. This is Tracker Calloway, and twenty-five year old high school teacher Isabeau Boudreaux’ story line. You do not have to head read the original NAUTI series but for cohesion and backstory, I recommend reading the aforementioned series.
Told from third person perspective IN ISABEAU’S EYES follows in the wake of another attempt on Isabeau’s life. Ten years earlier someone murdered Isabeau’s parents, but not before shooting our heroine in the head. Blinded by a bullet to the brain, Isabeau would be protected by her half-brother Burke and his extended family in Texas, while befriending the tight knit Mackay family of Kentucky. Fast forward to present day, wherein another attempt on Isabeau’s life, the sixth attempt in a decade, will also threaten the life of Angel Calloway, a young woman with close connections to Natches Mackay.Over protective to a fault, the Mackay family rallies around our story line heroine but Tracker Calloway will lay claim to the woman with whom he will fall in love. What ensues is the search for a killer, as Isabeau’s sight slowly returns.
Tracker Calloway doesn’t do relationships and has warned Isabeau Boudreaux that he will never fall in love but Isabeau wants a chance at a normal life having been babied by her brother and extended family for as long as she can remember . Isabeau is tired of the attempts on her life, often wondering if bad luck is the only luck she will ever know, but someone is targeting our story line heroine, and the Mackay family and friends have a large, extended reach.
The relationship between Tracker and Isabeau begins as a best friend’s, older brother relationship in which Isabeau is friends with Tracker’s foster sister Angel. Tracker’s attraction to Isabeau is immediate and strong but Tracker refuses to get involved with a woman he might not be around to protect. Isabeau wants to feel normal but everyone in her life treats her like glass including her half brother Burke, and US Navy SEALs Saul and Seth August. Isabeau has fallen in love with Tracker Calloway but Tracker has warned Isabeau he’s gone once the killer is found. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the NAUTI series couples, and the second generation relations. We are introduced to Isabeau’s half brother Burke,and US Navy SEALs Saul and Seth August, and several members of the Reapers MC.
IN ISABEAU’S EYES is a story of obsession and betrayal, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are determined, dynamic and energetic.
