Sometimes there comes a book that knocks your socks off and you simply cannot put it down. I found that in this upcoming new release I was able to review. With romance abounding, this spicy read hits many senses! Check out my review of:
The King of Bourbon Street by Thea de Salle (NOLA Nights Book 1)
Pocket Star
ISBN 9781501156076
February 2017
Synopsis:
Hotel chain mogul Sol DuMont is about to learn that some of life’s biggest surprises come in deceptively small packages—namely a petite heiress named Rain who’s hell-bent on upsetting her family’s expectations—in this first book in the all new series by Thea de Salle, set against the sultry backdrop of New Orleans.
Thirty-seven-year-old Sol DuMont is a divorcee and the owner of a mid-sized hotel chain in New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina, his father’s death, and the decision that he and his ex-wife Maddy are far better off friends than lovers, he’s lost interest in almost everything he held dear—parties, people, and pushing limits.
All his limits.
Then Arianna Barrington checks into his hotel.
Twenty-four-year-old Arianna “Rain” Barrington could have been society’s sweetheart. Her family is moneyed, connected press darlings, and make sweeping headlines from coast to coast for reasons both good and bad. But when her mother shoves her at Charles Harwood—the obnoxious, entitled heir of Harwood Corp—to cement a billion-dollar business merger, Rain does the only thing she can think of to escape: she creates a scandal so big Harwood doesn’t want her anymore before fleeing to New Orleans for much-needed rest and relaxation.
All she wants is jazz piano, beignets, and to sail the Mississippi. What she gets is Sol DuMont, a whirlwind affair, and a hands-on education in sex, power play, and pushing limits.
All her limits.
My Review of The King of Bourbon Street by Thea de Salle
I flipping loved this book!
This story has so many awesome components of a great romance – Flirty, Fun, Sexy, and Oh, So Steamy! With a delicious taste of NOLA and a decidedly hot story with enough of a light flavor of bdsm to satisfy, this story is a work of art.
I don’t even know where to begin! The author has crafted a sweet story that is loaded with so many elements that delight the senses. A funny, cranky, darling, sexy leading man that will leave you begging to have one like him all your own. A wholesome, endearing lady with good manners, a sailor mouth, and a mother we love to hate.
My only issue with this story is that I hated the way the author chose to refer to how the heroine looked with her body size. While the direct and a straightforward approach was interesting, for me, I really did not want that type of visual. HA. However, I loved everything else about this book!
I want more! I can only hope that the author brings us more from this spicy couple in the next editions of the series.
Plus, I cannot wait to get my hands on new releases from this author! Now I know that this is a pseudonym for another best selling author, I have to wonder who it is! I am intrigued but it makes a lot of sense!
