Publisher Description
She’s got enemies. He’s got scars. Together, they’ll face a war neither of them expected.
Gerard Guidry fought hard for his country — and lost a piece of himself in the process. Medically discharged and recruited into the Bayou Brotherhood Protectors, he’s ready for his first major solo assignment: guarding a stubborn farm girl with a target on her back.
Widowed and alone, Bernie Bellamy’s life depends on the land — and the animals she calls family. When her friend Gertrude is murdered and the threats close in, she turns to the Brotherhood for protection.
A fish out of water, Gerard doesn’t know anything about farms or feelings — but as danger circles and sparks fly, he’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking... or a weakness that could get them both killed.
In the bayou, love can be just as dangerous as the enemies chasing you.

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.
