Carla Saunders' dreams of a job in Paris but to get there
she has to go from skyscrapers of Manhattan to the bayous
of Louisiana. To move on to her dream she has to convince
Jackson Rivard that the company she represents would do
wonders for his research facility. She is there to face
her
fears not fall for a hunk during the HOT BAYOU NIGHTS.
Jackson Rivard's facility is all that is on his mind. He
is
searching for a cure for multiple sclerosis; he doesn't
have time for a relationship ... even if this woman is
sexy
as all get out. When Carla a business advisor sweeps into
his life he can't seem to shut himself away. Is it
possible
to have a no strings fling; without either of their hearts
getting involved? He's been bitten by an ex whose fangs
make the cobra's in his lab seem tame and Carla's always
tried to do what her family wants. Somehow together ...
things look right ... at least right now.
HOT BAYOU NIGHTS is a hot and steamy read but it is the
emotional growth that will pull the reader along to the
end. I found this storyline intriguing because they both
were so zeroed into their careers you wondered how author
Elizabeth Shore could bring about the needed happily ever
after.
Carla thinks she has everything in her life planned
out only to learn that what she wants isn't what she
thought she wanted. Jackson has been so single minded
about
his research, there seemed little hope for this couple but
his heart opens up slowly.
I have a soft spot for stories
based in the bayous of Louisiana; love the flavor, the
sounds and the feel and Ms. Shore did a fantastic job of
bringing that out. All the characters were realistic and
blended well into a cohesive and very touching story.
SUMMARY
When corporate consultant Carla Saunders' work takes her
from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to a research facility
in
Louisiana filled with king cobra snakes, she sees her
dreams
of a job in Paris sinking into the swamp. But unexpected
desire burns hotter than a sultry bayou night. The snakes
terrify her, but lust for the scorching hot research
scientist has her dreaming less about the Champs Élysées
and
more about being coiled in his arms. Obsessed with finding a cure for multiple sclerosis,
Jackson
Rivard’s got zero time for relationships. But when a lush,
efficient business advisor sweeps into his lab, zero
spikes
to a hundred before he can shut off the engine. In theory,
no-strings-attached sex is scientifically feasible, but
having an ex whose fangs make a cobra’s seem modest brings
new meaning to the phrase “once bitten, twice shy.” How
can
he protect his heart when Carla’s charming it out of
hiding?
