Say It Like You Mane It
Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild
By: Erin Nicholas
Narrated by: James R. Cheatham, Desiree Ketchum

Characters like Zander always capture my attention. He is a protector by nature and is happy with his little bubble where he knows where everyone is and can keep them safe. That's why he's a cop! Now Caroline has literally flown into his life. A beautiful woman with a lion cub in a wedding dress looking for Donovan, she is quite a presence. But all of her game playing is stunted immediately and when she shows her true self, Zander is captivated. But so many question arise now, and these two are going to get to the bottom of it. Where did Caroline's ex-fiance get the cub, and how many more wild animals are there being held captive or being sold? How can Caroline find out? Who is trying to find her? How will Zander keep this amazing spirited woman safe? I am in love with this man. He knows what he wants, it's simple. He's loyal to a fault and loves with his whole heart. Caroline has finally met her match, but she may not be happy living in a small town. While she isn't sure what she wants to do, she knows there is more for her to accomplish in her life. How will these two figure it out? And what will become of the lion cub? Great banter, fun seeing our old friends from the previous stories, and a touch of suspense make this an entertaining listen. Erin Nicholas loves to transport me right into the bayou and I love it!

James R Cheatham and Desiree Ketchum are our storytellers and they are fantastic! Cheatham falls in to character as Zander. I love all the tones he uses, from the jealous crazed man to the over protective lover. He is in the head of Zander and gives us all his doubts and feelings. Ketchum is a favorite, and I love how she portrays Caroline. This girl is not sure about life, but Ketchum finds a way to show her strength as she wades through her insecurities and finds the woman she is meant to be. This is a wonderful pairing and a great listen.
