ABOUT THE BOOK.
Sparks fly in Louisiana's Butterfly Bayou when a Hollywood starlet falls for a local deputy in a new small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
After leaving the military, Major Blanchard moved to Papillon, Louisiana, to be with his aging father, where he's taken a deputy position with the sheriff’s department. Now that he’s settling into life on the bayou, he’s trying out the dating scene. Every single woman in town seems to be pining after the handsome newcomer. But so far, nothing’s worked out, and he’s had some spectacularly bad dates. Major’s getting ready to give up on love when a new lady roars into town to film a movie and turns his world upside down.
Actress Brynn Pearson is trying to make a successful transition from child star to leading lady. Now that she’s landed her first lead in a major film, nothing can stop her. She's committed to focusing solely on her work, so romance is the last thing she needs—too bad she can’t get her mind off the dreamy deputy who’s working security for the film. He’s gorgeous, and something about him makes her feel safe. As Brynn’s feelings for Major deepen, she starts to wonder if maybe there’s more to life than her career.
When a family crisis throws Major’s life into a tailspin, he turns to Brynn for support, and hopes the relationship growing between them will shine brighter than Hollywood lights.

MY REVIEW.
5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love on the Bayou!
In Bayou Sweetheart, Lexi Blake gives her readers a little opposites attract romance plus more. We meet Brynn and Major, two people with a lot of life changes ahead of them much to their dismay.
Brynn is a child actress that is now twenty-five and burned out. She arrives to her next location early to prep for the role, however she ends up falling in love with the peaceful little town and its inhabitants mighty quickly. Major is one of the said inhabitants and finds himself meeting the beautiful Brynn in the most embarrassing way possible. He didn't realize who she was, which she instantly noticed.
These characters had a lot going on personally and there was even more going on in town around them. I loved that Brynn was written down to earth with the lifestyle she had and Major was perfect from the get go. No manly chip on his shoulder and he was honest as all get out. These two make a great couple on paper, however they are currently living very busy lives. There are big decisions to be made and all you want is to see them work things out.
Along with Major and Brynn, there is the entire town, plus Brynn's mom, sister and co-stars completely involved with their lives, which always entertains me. There were people constantly chiming in or "trying to help" this young couple and it was as sweet as it was hilarious. There's something about these small town stories.
The book is well written with all emotions balanced nicely. We are laughing, crying and worrying right along with Brynn and Major page after page. Each character has a little something, something going on, with the town Gruber being my favorite...even though it isn't legal to be on the road. Bayou Sweetheart reads as a stand alone, however I was so intrigued I'm putting the series on my TBR. This little tight knit town seems pretty dang interesting.

KEEP READING for a look inside Bayou Sweetheart...
“Are you still driving Harry’s truck? I only ask so I can have an idea of how many people are going to call the station about the pretty blond car thief.”
Brynn winced. “Sorry. I didn’t think it would be a big deal. And no. Harry had an emergency. Apparently his mother-in-law had some plumbing problems and he went out to help. I called a car service.”
“We have a car service?” Major asked and then winced. “Please tell me Greg Bonham isn’t still trying to make Guber happen.”
She snorted. “Yes. I heard all about his plan to create a fleet of golf carts.”
“That’s not road legal. You are not calling him to take you back.” He groaned, though it sounded like a sexy growl. “I’ll drive you home, and I’ll have a talk with Greg because putting twinkle lights all over a golf cart does not make it safe. So, where’s your buddy this evening?”
“Duke?” She didn’t have another buddy. She had acquaintances. She had coworkers. She had fans. She didn’t have buddies beyond her dog. She suddenly realized how sad that was.
“Yes. I miss his royal disdain.”
“Disdain?”
A brow rose over Major’s eyes. “That dog does not like me. And he didn’t like Dolly, either, which is a mistake on his part because she is delightful.”
Brynn chuckled. “That’s not what you were saying when she was wrapped around your shoulders.”
“Well, we’ve moved on and she’s delightful again. She never met a stranger, and I think she was hurt by Duke’s rejection of her love.”
Oh, this was an infinitely more dangerous man than the one she’d met before. Was he flirting with her? If he was, it was working, because she was ready to throw out everything she’d learned about him earlier in the day. “Duke takes his time warming up to people, but once he gets used to you, you’ll find him delightful, too. He’s back at the B and B. When I’m not able to take him with me, he usually stays with an assistant. In this case, he’s hanging out with Shep. What has you in a good mood? Did you get to ticket a bunch of people?”
He put a hand on his chest. “I do not enjoy ticketing people, Brynn. Especially not people around here. They’re mouthy and very creative in finding an excuse for not using their blinker when they turn. By the way, speaking of ticketing people, you have a lead foot. That is not going to do you well here. The boss is always on the lookout to upgrade the station house’s appliances, and the money from driving offenses goes straight into his budget. He’s got two small children at home now. He wants an espresso machine. He kind of needs it to keep functioning.”
Ah, the joys of small-town life. “Thank you for the warning. How about I gift him one and maybe you gently look the other way?”
That jawline of his straightened, and he turned on his serious stare. “Ma’am, are you trying to bribe an officer of the law?”
That cop voice got to her. She suddenly understood why people role-played. She’d always thought it was dumb, but now she could see how Deputy Major doing a slow search of her body could be sexy. In a playful way, of course. A consenting way.
Was she thinking about hopping into bed with him?
