Bayou Bound by Linda Joyce my review
Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth
This is the second book in The Fleur De Lis series and it is wonderful. I love how the past and present intertwine with each other, and also how real the characters are. Biloxi is a strong and successful woman but doubt runs swiftly through her, while Nick who is also successful has a need for answers and a deep desire for a family. For both of them, their pasts have created long standing hurts of different kinds inside them. Yet it doesn't stop them from chasing their dreams and hearts. I loved it.
The Review:
When your past, and the past of your grandparents, intertwines with your life, causing uncertainty and a hope for your future. Yet being unable to let go of the lessons learnt due to fear and confusion. This is a problem that Biloxi has in this fabulous must read. Determined to put her business first and make Fleur De Lis better for not only her family but also the generations ahead, the last thing she wants is romance. After all, she's been hurt enough already. Yet she can't resist Nick, a man she should avoid at all costs, due to the fact of their family history, and also because he makes her feel alive. Always coming second, Biloxi is determined to come first, and to do so she must put all her energy into Fleur De Lis, leaving no room for the man who just won't go away. Nick is fed up with everyone interfering in his life, especially where dating is concerned. he doesn't want to date just anyone, he want's someone, he can respect and enjoy a future with. Someone just like Biloxi. But to have a future together may be more difficult than he ever bargained for, as it's not just them involved. The past is kept alive and their families are not happy. Can Nick and Biloxi have their happily ever after, or will a their families keep them apart forever?
