Otterly Irresistible (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild Book One)

OTTERLY IRRESISTIBLE is the first instalment in Erin Nicholas’ contemporary, adult BOYS OF THE BAYOU GONE WILD, erotic, romance series-a spin off from the author’s BOYS OF THE BAYOU. This is thirty year old, veterinarian Dr. Griffin Foster, and marketing consultant Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Landry’s story line. You do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading for your enjoyment. Several characters cross over for familiarity. Griffin was first introduced in the Boys of the Bayou series. Told from dual third perspectives (Charlie and Griffin) OTTERLY IRRESISTIBLE follows the building romance and relationship between thirty year old, veterinarian Dr. Griffin Foster, and marketing consultant Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Landry. Two months earlier Griffin and Charlie spent an almost one-night stand together but Charlie was heading to Paris, and Griffin never stopped thinking about what might have been. Fast forward to present day wherein Charlie, having been fired from her job in Paris, has returned to Autre, Louisiana as the new receptionist and marketing agent for Griffin’s clinic, a return Griffin knew nothing about. With Charlie’s ability to market just about anything and everything, our heroine goes into overdrive in an effort to raise money for the otter enclosures coming up with a series of ideas and plans to open a ‘zoo’ to bring in more tourists and fun but Griffin struggles with Charlie’s over the top zealous attitude, preferring to remain behind the scenes, fearing the woman with whom he is falling in love with leave in a few months time. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Charlie and Griffin, and the potential fall-out as a mutual loss finds Charlie out of her element, wondering if she will ever fit in. Griffin Foster prefers animals to humans, and meeting Charlie Landry doesn’t change his mind about his relationship preferences. A one-night stand kind of guy, Griffin struggles with his feelings for our story line heroine, a woman who is determined to prove he is worthy of his own happily ever after-with her. Charlie Landry is a bubbly, over-zealous, friend to everyone, and in this Griffin battles between head and heart knowing Charlie may only be in town for a very short time. As Charlie begins to plan the expansion of the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild animal park, Griffin has some ideas of his own. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in the previous series. The back and forth camaraderie between the Landry sibling and cousins is furious and fun. OTTERLY IRRESISTIBLE is a heart warming and animated story line. The characters are flirty and spirited; the romance is intoxicating and intimate. A wonderful start to a new series.

Less than perfect proves endearingly, tempting. Nicholas as always gives the heart a reason to smile. Griffin and Charlie are a mischievous match that seduce with chaos and own with real emotion. She pushes his buttons, he steals her heart. Behind all the witty banter and the cuddly cuteness, Nicholas exposes emotions that run deep. With charm and honesty, Otterly Irresistible turns light-hearted drama into a sweet sensation.

Cuteness. OVERLOAD! Griffin and Charlie's story (new series!!!) was adorable and Awww-inspiring... Seriously I spent the whole time swooning and sighing. Grouchy Griffin was actually really funny, and Charlotte was admirable in her quest to market her way to success. The family is always wonderful and supportive, and the petting zoo animals are so wonderful, I didn't want the story to end!
