A Butterfly Bayou Novel, Book 4

By: Lexi Blake

Narrated by: Jessica Almasy

Love returns to Louisiana’s Butterfly Bayou in a new small-town contemporary romance sure to charm hearts, from New York Times best-selling author Lexi Blake.

Sylvie Martine was prepared to take Washington, DC, by storm, but she put that dream on hold when her beloved hometown of Papillon, Louisiana, needed her most. Now Sylvie’s the mayor of the tiny town on the bayou that holds her heart. But for Sylvie, this can only be a pit stop on the way to bigger and better things. The last thing she needs is an old love to resurface and threaten her goals.

Rene Darois’ whole life has been about serving his family - no matter how much it hurts. He’s used to sacrificing for his large extended family and the company his grandfather created. But he can’t believe the latest demand: He needs to find a wife and quick or he could lose it all. It would be a horrible situation. But he has just the solution: his high school sweetheart. Sylvie is everything he wants in a wife - smart, funny, and caring - and he planned to woo her anyway.

Now he just has to convince Sylvie that their love is worth it all, or he and the bayou will lose her forever.

Review of Bayou Beauty

The narration was so well done. I laughed out loud and really enjoyed this story

Loved it - Great story and great narration

Jessica Almasy did an outstanding job with her narration, she certainly brought the story to life for me.
It was great to be back in Papillon, Louisiana also known as Butterfly Bayou. Ms.Blake’s writing is so descriptive that I could easily imagine myself in the Bayou. Papillon is a quirky community full of characters that are fun and entertaining, add in the town’s wandering alligator Otis and you know you are in for a wild ride.
Sylvie Martine and Rene Darois are in the spotlight this time and their story was a a great addition to the Butterfly Bayou series. Sylvie is the mayor of Papillon and the last thing she wants or needs is Rene to make an appearance back in her life and turn it upside down.
These two have a past and when the unthinkable happens and he needs a wife in a hurry he turns to his high school girlfriend for help. He always planned to go after her again so this is the perfect opportunity, or is it? Can Rene convince Sylvie to take another chance on love with him?
It is is obvious to everyone around them that the connection that is between them is deep, but Sylvie has been hurt in the past and doesn’t want to let Rene back in. However she doesn't count on his determination and what follows is a a journey that the readers will quickly become invested in .
As always the quirky people of Papillon become involved and that led to some humorous scenes that had me laughing out loud on occasion. A well written, emotional, witty story that will draw you in and leave you wanting more

Great Series!!!!

This is such a great series, and I forget how much I adore it until I start listening again! I do love all things Cajun, and this book has those tastes of LA there. The name Rene' and French, the Bayou, just all.of it is heaven! Jessica Almasy does a superb job of narrating, and I highly recommend it you'd like to get that full LA feel!!! Thank you Lexi Blake!!!❤

Love love LOVE

This series just gets better! I love how the lives of this small town intertwine and we get such depth to these characters.

I laugh out loud, roll my eyes, and try not to cry with Lexi’s books. This one is no exception!
