Rumble on the Bayou

By: Jana DeLeon

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

Deputy Dorie Berenger knew the day would go from bad to worse when she found a stoned alligator in the town drunk’s swimming pool. Then DEA agent Richard Starke shows up in Gator Bait, Louisiana, giving out orders and insults faster than you can cast a fishing line.

Dorie knows the residents of Gator Bait aren’t going to talk to a stranger, especially a Yankee, but she's stuck with Richard until he catches his bad guy. With no other alternative to restore peace to the small town, Dorie agrees to help Richard catch a criminal and in the process, uncovers decades of secrets that have been hiding deep in the Louisiana bayou.

quick, good read

You can always count on Jana DeLeon's books being an entertaining, light-hearted read. This book was definitely fun to read.

Good book - not so good narrator

The narrator obviously thought she was mimicking a southern Louisiana accent. She sounded condensation get. It was a good book but it needed a different narrator. It was hard to get past her ridiculous accent.

Ayup this hear'un agood'un.

This tale started out as a more or less typical DeLeon story line small Southern town(DEEP SOUTH that is).
Complete with unique endearing characters similar to the Missfortune Series but not quite the same formula. Oh and a unique surprise twist at the end.
The only thing that I disliked were the explicit sex scenes, not many thank goodness.
Personally I don't need step by step instruction. Been there done that and I like to let my mind build my own scenes. Yeah a little heavy petting kissing etcetera. then its morning well you get the picture.
Enough of that rant the story and the narration are worth the purchase. So 4.25 stars.

Feelings

enjoyed…although slow..it was the effort to sound like someone from the Bayou. Knowing friends who are Cajun I don’t know any southerners who speak that slowly.

Not as good as Miss Fortune

I really enjoyed Miss Fortune series but this story lacked intrigue, not as fun to listen to😜
