Bayou Heat is a story of lies, voodoo, and irresistible passion. These two people are brought together because of a favor that puts them in a world of danger.

Dr. Erin McClure is in the bayous to fulfill a lifelong goal. She grew up at the feet of her scientist father learning all over the globe, and with tribes that most don’t even know about. Now she is finally getting a once in a lifetime chance to study with the voodoo priestesses, but she has to survive being with her guide first.

Erin meets Teague Comeaux in the most unconventional way. She finds him naked and bleeding in her bathtub the night of her arrival in Louisiana. She knows he is as dangerous as he looks, and is shocked as hell to find out that he is her guide. Can she trust a man the pulled a gun on her, and resist the feelings he stirs in her.

I enjoyed this story, and the fact that the author really respected this area. She really did her research into the Cajun people and their language properly. She didn’t make us sound like total idiots. That isn’t the case always. But one complaint I do have is that it felt like it took a bit to get the story going and grabbing me. I am glad that I stuck it out, because it truly is a good read. I hope y’all enjoy it too.
