Crazy Rich Cajuns by Erin Nicholas

I say this every time I listen to one of these…but this one is my favorite!  First off we have Kennedy with her goth look and attitude. She loves playing with the city boys. Then we have Bennett. He has been showing up and we see how much him and Kennedy love flirting/razzing each other. So he brought his shined shoes and perfect body down to the bayou. I am not sure who amazed me more. They both have wonderful growth but I think the alpha side of Bennett coming out is just…WOW!  I really did not expect that from him. 

I did listen to this on audio. The narrators did a good job. I was not a fan of the male narrator for this character (Bennett). He seemed too soft.

Jamie is freaking perfect as Bennett and Betsy has just the right amount of sex & sass Kennedy

I loved this book even more than the other Boys of the Bayou book (if that’s even possible). I’ve been looking forward to Kennedy and Bennett’s story, and Erin Nicholas didn’t disappoint. There were twists throughout, and the chemistry between these two was off the charts scorching. This book really has it all; family, love, all the emotions, an awesome and relatable hero and heroine and a host of great supporting characters.

Bennett and Kennedy exceeded everything I thought they would be. They were so much more and then some! I just loved them. Kennedy and Bennett are fantastic together; from their fun, flirty banter, their sizzling hot encounters to their sweet romantic gestures which was the best lead up to a surprising and yet perfect happily ever after.

Kennedy and Bennett heat this book up from beginning to end. I could not put it down. As always, I cannot wait to see what Erin Nicholas comes up with next!

Didn’t quite tick all the boxes for me
3 stars

I have read most of the Boys of the Bayou series of which this is the fourth book, and Kennedy and Bennett as a couple have been teased almost since the very start. It probably does stand alone, but as part of a series full of colourful characters and intertwined scenarios, you might be confused if you haven’t read at least one of the previous books in the series.

As I mentioned, Bennett and Kennedy have been dancing around each other in previous books. They very much had an antagonistic relationship - a sort of teasing love-to-hate-you kind of thing. I didn’t really ever feel a super chemistry (in previous books) between the pair and this book really just throws you into the story so I still wasn’t really feeling them as a pair to begin with.

I really liked the idea of Bennett - he’s the kind of hero that’s totally my jam. He’s a rich guy and can come across as a little bit stuffy - especially in comparison to those laid-back Louisiana folk. I love the idea of a buttoned up guy getting a little ruffled with a girl who’s not his norm. And he wears glasses. Swoon! But despite all this, I didn’t love him as much as I wanted to. It’s hard to put my finger on why - but there it is. And that’s despite him being a dirty talker. I LOVED that about him. It probably hit me just as hard as it hit Kennedy.

Kennedy herself wasn't really my cup of tea as far as a heroine goes either. She was, for me, deliberately difficult and provocative at times and I often wanted to tell her to stand down and calm down. That attitude 24/7 must be exhausting! I was also slightly worried we were going down the really obvious route of the backwater girl going to the hoity toity society party and embarrassing herself and others with her provincial ways! Luckily we didn’t go that way and I did get to like Kennedy a wee bit better as the story progressed. But ultimately, I still did feel she was a little bitty selfish. There was just something about her that I wasn’t loving. Don’t get me wrong - I was still rooting for our couple and I did like them - I just didn’t love them - as individuals or together.

Unlike the other books in the series (or the ones that I’ve read anyway), this story also takes us out of the Bayou for a large chunk of time. It therefore had a different feel to it than the other books. Again, not bad - just different.

As I mentioned, Bennett has a dirty mouth on him which I very much appreciated. As such, the sex scenes were delicious - especially since there’s something of a build up before we get to the very good stuff. *Happy sigh*

This wasn’t my favourite of the Boys of the Bayou books but it’s very readable and still has [a:Ms Nicholas’s|3155383|Erin Nicholas|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1563075132p2/3155383.jpg] trademark humour, heat and obvious love of small-town family and life. 3 stars from me but still recommended if you’ve read others in the series; just maybe don’t start with this one.

Crazy Rich Cajuns is my favorite in the series! Anyone that's followed along the Landry family journey has been introduced to Kennedy, and I've been dying for her story. I enjoy when you go into a book thinking you know the character pretty well, only for the author to draw you in even more and open your mind to an even deeper development, making you fall harder for their story. If you're looking for a funny, light-hearted, crazy families, sassy and steamy romance - then this is the book you'll enjoy over and over again.

I am digging these "bayou romances". Light, flirty and full of Cajun sass.
