Bayou With Benefits by Erin Nicholas
5.0
We are back in the bayou of Autre, Louisiana with another hot guy with a badge. Michael is the chief firefighter and a single dad. And he has long admired his friends' younger cousin, Ami. She's a beauty pageant winner and a model. And little does he know, she's crushed on him since she was 16. It's only a small age gap of five years.
I appreciated how Ami reflected on her role as a model and the beauty standards that women face. This book is really about how to use the talents one has to help others. And both Ami and Michael work to figure out what it means to be helpers.
I found it neat that this was told over a long period. The timeline overlapped with other books in the series. And I loved seeing not only Ami and Michael, but his son Andre. This series has felt like it has gained in depth and grown beyond the previous series in Autre. We still have all of the same amazing Landry's and wonderful friends, family, and hijinks that make Erin Nicholas's books such fun. But we also have more social awareness and intensity. I love seeing it.
Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and the author for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.
