The Bourbon Street Boys are back ready to same another damsel in distress!
Thibault has some kind of superman complex. (But don't tell him that!) His sister blames their tough childhood. So, when he (literally) runs into Mika his instincts tell him she needs to be saved. He has no idea when he walks up to her car to curse her out for running into him, she would change his entire life. He saves her even when she claims she doesn't need saving. He knows she's deathly afraid of something, but he doesn't know just how dangerous and how crazy she would make him. Thibault's in up to his eyeballs now.To say an adventure would be an understatement. He was all up in her business. But he remains calm through the entire situation.
Mika's running from the Russian mob. She's been bookkeeping for their "business." She decides to go see a doctor. She's so focused on her indigestion, she drives down the wrong street and hits Thibault. Mika's a real survivor. Somehow, despite a tough upbringing, she got a degree. She's looking forward to leaving New Orleans in her rearview mirror. She's decided to stop ignoring her bosses illegal activities and brutality. She's becoming an informant. Unfortunately, the New Orleans police department is dragging their feet, leaving her in danger. Now, she has more than herself to worry about in the form of an unknown pregnancy. Yep, add that in the mix and obviously Thibault has his work cut out for him. Ending up on the local news probably isn't the smartest thing to do when you're running from a criminal organization with unlimited resources.
Mika's trust issues and the hesitation of Thibault's co-workers (family) is enough to give anyone a headache. Thibault is determined. The Russian mob isn't going to scare him. He does everything in his power to keep Mika safe, even putting his life in jeopardy. He's used to working on the right side of the law. Luckily, his family comes around. May and Jenny are quick to take Mika under their wing and befriend her. Toni, not so much. But then she's a tough nut to crack. Marriage and babies haven't softened her any. She's the overprotective sister. But she does help Mika in the form of clothes and baby stuff.
Everything Mika thought she knew is turned upside down by these weird people she never thought existed. With their support, she's able to open up and finally trust people. It's a weight lifted off her shoulders. What she never thought she'd find is her future. Who knew hitting a guy with a car could turn into so much love and finally, family.
What a crazy whirlwind of a story. You just sit on the edge of your seat, and still don't know how things will spin, right up til the end of the book. Love the interaction of all of the characters. And the gals play a strong part in this book. #girlpower
I've been waiting for the next book of the Bourbon Street Boys and Wrong Turn, Right Direction was worth it. It's Thibaults story and he's literally run into by Mika who took a wrong turn on a one way street. Mika is trying to change her life and her running into Thibault does just that as he and then his team come to her rescue. Great story, great characters. I love Elle Casey and her Bourbon Street Boys series. This is the 4th in the series and I hope there will be more. Each one is better than the last.
RATING 4.5 STARS
Wrong Turn, Right Direction is book four in The Bourbon Street Boys series by Elle Casey.
Do you believe in fate? That things always happen for a reason? Tamika Cleary didn’t know that turning the wrong way down a one way street and running smack dab into a very good looking and very angry man would change her life. Thibault Delacroix was right where he needed to be at the right time. Two people, crossing paths at the exact time they needed to. Fate had to be at work here.
We met Thibault in the previous books. He has watched his partners at Bourbon Street Boys find the loves of their lives, one by one. He has pretty much accepted that it’s not going to happen for him. Why he went to THAT coffee shop that day, somewhere that is out of his way, he’ll never know. Why he didn’t look both ways like he ALWAYS does before stepping off that curb, he’ll never know. That’s when the crazy lady ran into him, injuring his leg. But it didn’t take him long to realize that something else was going on here. She needed help, and he couldn’t stop himself from stepping right in and doing what was needed.
Tamika or “Mika” admits she made some bad choices these past five years that have gotten her into this predicament. She’s trying to do the right thing now, though. She’s watched her evil boss, Pavel, do horrible things time and time again. So she became an informant. She’s been keeping the books for Pavel and has been painstakingly storing the files in “the cloud” for safe keeping until it’s time turn them over. But the stress of the situation is making her sick. She eats antacids like candy. She can’t take it anymore and is going to tell the police that she needs time to get herself straightened out before she goes any further. That’s where she was going on that day when she made that wrong turn, and ran into the man who would change her life.
“He’s complicated, stubborn, kind, firm, and sexy…all these things rolled into one solid man.”
Thus starts the crazy wild ride in store for Thibault and Mika. Mika finds it hard to trust Thibault. She’s never been able to trust anyone before. And Thibault, with his superman complex, is so pushy. She will not be told what to do. She’s managed to get this far on her own. She can’t help but think, though, that it would be so nice to finally have someone at her side to count on, to not be alone for the first time in a long time. To allow herself to actually trust this man.
I seriously fell in love with Thibault. He was so patient with Mika. He seemed to know just how to help her, when to push and when to back off. Little by little, he proved to her that he would do whatever he could to protect her, to keep her safe. That she was the boss, that he wouldn’t make her do anything she didn’t want to do.
This whole series is amazing and I have so enjoyed getting to know these characters and watching them fall in love. This one in particular just grabbed me right from the start. These two go through so much and we are kept on the edge of our seats until the very end with some very shocking surprises. The members of The Bourbon Street Boys and the partners they have fallen in love with prove again that family has nothing to do with blood, but everything to do with love. These people love each other and have each other’s backs no matter what. Together they have an iron clad bond that is as strong as any family could be. Thanks again to Elle Casey for bringing us these characters that make us swoon, make us smile, and steal our hearts.
I have to say that the first book in this series is one of my all time favorite books. I love it! May and Ozzie are perfection! The other two books in this series are decent, not as great but still good in their own right. This book however left me wishing for more. It wasn't bad but I expected so much more for Thibault. He was my favorite character, aside from May and Ozzie, and I wanted him to get a really epic love. This wasn't epic.
