This book pleasantly surprised me! I did not know if I was really going to like the magic aspect and I can say that I definitely did :) The romance was perfect in my opinion and I am really glad I gave this book a try

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! What an adorable, sweet story. The hero is PERFECTION. A lovely mix of alpha and beta. Loveable characters all around and I can't wait to read about the other characters' love stories, too! I could not put this book down.

I just finished reading New Orleans Rush and all I can say is AMAZING!! This story captures you right from the beginning and you are drawn into the lives of Beatrice and Huxley. I ever expected the story to take the turns it did. I couldn’t not put it down! I was glued to the pages and devoured it.

This is a great read, the story of Beatrice and Huxley. After a chance meeting in a bar, she ends up being his magicians assistant. A fast paced read featuring some quirky and interesting characters - I hope this is going to be a series!

First book I have read by this author but looking forward to more!

Generally if I love something, it gets discontinued. When I read that Kelly Siskind was taking a bit of a different slant with her writing of New Orleans Rush, my first thought was “oh brother”. The Stud/Legs/Licks series is a favorite. I imagined there would be no more snarky banter, no more unique characters, no more engaging scenarios….just no more of anything I adore in a good read. BOY WAS I WRONG. New Orleans Rush is amazing. The characters are there, the sexual tension is there, the banter is there, well, it’s all in there. This is a very deep and poignant story of a couple approaching a relationship that is complicated by their pasts. I couldn’t put this story down. It gets under your skin and creeps into your own emotions until you find yourself laughing out loud, reading passages over because they are entertaining, and cheering for the hero and heroine. Next time Ms. Siskind – I will trust you to know what is best. Slam dunk and Congrats on a beautiful story.

This is a fun, emotional read with a cast of characters that is quirky and different from your standard romance fare. And when I say “quirky,” I don’t mean unbelievable oddball or manic pixie dream girl (though the book could easily have swerved that way). Instead, the line is nicely drawn between people who are creative and free-spirited in their own ways and more than a little desperate (mostly for money).

Going backstage at a magic act is a hell of a lot of fun and it adds intensity and a bit of extra sexy tension to see Bea learn how the tricks work and trust Huxley to do his illusions without hurting her. There’s real danger here, too: Huxley’s own father lost his life in a water trick and that reality always hangs over him.

I was given an Advance Reader’s Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. Bea is fun, quirky, likeable character. Huxley is broody and serious. Total opposites but totally good together. Highly recommended.

I should preface this review with the statement that I'm a big fan of this author's work and she certainly did not disappoint with New Orleans Rush. I had a feeling that this would be a bit different from her other releases, but never dreamed it would make me smile and laugh and cry as much as it did! Beatrice absolutely stole my heart-she is such a breath of fresh air-quirky, sweet, kind & adorable! And Huxley couldn't have been more perfect & swoon-worthy. I've never been to NOLA, but when I close my eyes, I can see it. The depth of her writing is extraordinary! I want to jump on a plane and go see the Marvelous Marlow Brothers on stage right now! As with everything else, the secondary characters are well-developed and add so much color to an already vivid and rich story. The Marlow boys are each interesting characters in their own right, but together they're a force to be reckoned with. Pure perfection and truly magical -- I loved everything single thing about this book and highly recommend reading it! 10+ stars!
