Review: The Bayou Never Tells

The Bayou Never Tells The Bayou Never Tells by Chelley St Clair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

✨A TOP READ OF 2022✨

This book "had me at hello".  Right from the beginning this book was an total page turner!  I didn't want to put it down (#adultiingsucks) This book starts out as an unrequited love that Ivy has towards her best friend (who is totally clueless about her feelings).  Then it changes into an enemies-to-lovers super slow burn with extra sexual tension on the side!  WHEW! ðŸĨĩðŸĨĩðŸĨĩ Silas is EVERYTHING!  Since this book is a dual POV you actually get the chance to LOVE Silas.  I honestly feel like if you got it all from Ivy's POV, Silas would be damn near unredeemable.  When Ivy was dealing with her broken heart feelings, he was kind of a jerk about it... and while I totally understood why he wanted things to happen the way that they did, I felt like he was rather heartless to Ivy about the way that she was feeling!  Ivy is my girl 100%.   I am #TeamIvy  .... above all else I wanted her to get her HEA..... and if it was going to be with Silas.... well then she was going to be one lucky lady, once he dropped the jerk-face act.  
There are some serious and violent things that do happen in this book so I totally recommend checking trigger warnings.   
This is a book that I will thoroughly enjoy reading again so that I can go through and highlight some of my favorite passages (like the voyeurism!!! ðŸĨĩðŸĨĩ).   This is one of my favorite reads of 2022 and I will scream from ALL the rooftops that people need to read this book..... and I can NOT wait to have the physical copy with that GORGEOUS cover on my shelf!!!

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 ðŸ”Ĩ Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT ðŸ”ĨðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4ðŸ”Ĩ      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2ðŸ”Ĩ Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
