Rene LeDeux can't escape the big city life and all the
aggravation of his ex-job as an environmental lobbyist,
even when he's hiding out at the cabin he's building in the
Louisiana bayou. Nope, his determined environmental
activist friends kidnap a TV personality and show up at the
cabin, planning to force the woman to tell the story of how
the Louisiana coastline is being ripped away.
Unfortunately, the woman they kidnap is an old, um,
acquaintance (fighting friend?), Valerie "Ice" Breaux. The
two have known each other since high school and it's never
been a pleasant relationship. Now, she's really, really
unhappy about being kidnapped and taken to the bayou to a
cabin that isn't even near finished during one of the
hottest Louisiana summers on record.
But Val finds herself listening to the story they're
telling, add in a healthy dissatisfaction with her current
boss, and she's ready to make a stab at a serious
environmental piece. But to sell the story, she knows it
will need something "sexy" for network news and that's got
to be Rene. There's no hotter, sexier Cajun around. As the
two work this story together and realize there's a large
group of business people who don't want it to ever hit TV,
their years of fighting each other are turning into
something that's quite the opposite of fighting.
I'm surprised Ms. Hill was able to get this book to her
publisher without the pages burning up. Rene. Oh, Rene.
Lots of deep sighs and there really are no words for this
Cajun hunk. Val holds her own and their spicy sex life
makes for great reading. Of course, the romance aside,
there's a great grandmother character in this book -- Tante
Lulu -- who will make you laugh out loud. A must read! It's
just too fun and steamy to miss!
Rene LeDeux, a wild Cajun rogue, is on the prowl.
