Romance Contemporary

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?
