This is the third book in the Boys of the Bayou series. This is also my favorite book of this series and having Gregory Salinas and Ramona Master as the narrators for Sawyer and Juliet is just perfection. I love a grouchy damaged hero with a heart of gold and I also love a heroine who is damaged but is still joyful. This book has both! Juliet, along with her brother Chase, come to Autre, Louisiana to help rebuild the boat dock that Chase and his frat brothers destroyed when they stole and crashed an airboat. Juliet believes that Chase needs to be around people who love their families and their jobs and work with their hands to avoid Chase becoming like her rich entitled father and brothers. Building the boat dock seems like a perfect solution. Sawyer Landry is the majority partner in the Boys of the Bayou Swamp Boat Tours – the owners of the destroyed dock – but his partners failed to tell him of the plan for Juliet and Chase to rebuild the dock. The meet cute between Sawyer and Juliet is one of the best I have ever read. Sawyer has been super grouchy and controlling for the last nine months, driving everyone crazy with his doom and gloom safety over-cautiousness. He meets Juliet for the first time while she is looking at his dock while wearing hip waders, a life jacket and a hard hat just to be safe. Sawyer is unaware until that moment that safety attire has become one of his turn ons. The story, like all of the stories in this series, is filled with loud, larger than life characters and situations, along with simmering and overwhelming feelings, all wrapped up in so much love. It has all the feels – sweet moments, fan your face steamy, side splitting hilarity, tearful scenes, and heart squeezing love. Sawyer and Juliet just have to learn that their sharp edges, which are a result of their past traumas, fit beautifully together and together they can overcome their fears in order to find their way to their HEA together. It is so much fun to get immersed in the insanity that is Autre and its inhabitants, that it is sad to finish the book and leave that world behind. Erin Nicholas excels at creating beautiful, rich, loving and fun small towns populated by secondary characters who enhance the main love story rather than crowding or detracting from it and Beauty and the Bayou is further proof. I cannot wait to see what is next for the rest of the Landry family.
