4 Voodoo infused stars!
I truly enjoyed Elle James’ Déjà Voodoo and the story
the brought to life magic and love. The third installment in the series, it
continued with the feel and voice of the prior two books. However, this one had
a little bit more spunk to it.
Alex Boyette is the oldest girl of 19 children, successful
in business, owns her own house, but her mom refuses to let her single life continue
to happen. Constantly being set up at family dinners, Alex is not thrilled to
follow through with the latest invite, but she can’t refuse.
Ed Marceau is in the small Voodoo town of Bayou Miste hiding the most sought after
witness for an upcoming trial. Renting the Boyette cottage, he feels rude to
ignore the dinner invitation from Barbara Boyette, however, he especially
doesn’t want to attend after speaking with his co-worker Ben, the oldest of the
Boyettes.
After formally meeting each other, Alex and Ed fight their
instant attraction to each other. Alex doesn’t want to complicate life even
further with a relationship, especially to a man who is only on vacation and
leaving Bayou Miste soon. Ed was burned from his previous marriage and he
doesn’t have time to concentrate on a fling while trying to protect his
witness.
Things escalate until there is no turning back, yet danger
has arrived at their door step and someone will have to be saved before they
both lose each other.
Alex is a fun character who takes life too seriously, is
strong, independent, and always feels the need to be in control. When her life
is thrown into chaos with her dog, Sport and best friend Calliope, and her
mother and Ed, she keeps pushing things away to try and handle them.
Ed is simply irresistible especially when he can’t seem to
resist Alex and he lets her know it. Extremely protective yet knowing when to
back off, Ed is off the charts sexy and just the man to handle Alex.
(I received an ARC for my review and this is my
honest-to-goodness, straight from the heart review!
