I somehow missed that this is part of a series...Most if the time I had absolutely no clue what was going on. Suits, Diplomats, Wildlands, Pantera...even after reading it I STILL have no clue what the hell these are. However...the story was short, predictable and frankly a bit boring. It certainly hasn't made me want to read the series. I do wonder however if I would have enjoyed this book more if I HAD read the rest of them. We'll never know...I love a good Paranormal but I certainly won't be rushing out to read the others in this series. Short, sweet, and wonderful. Alexandra Ivy and Laura Wright were definitely keeping the fans in mind when they put out this sweet, sexy little novella. They wanted to give us a little Pantera to keep us warm this holiday season and to thank their fans for eating up their series and giving them wonderful support by putting it up for free.Molly is a healer working for Garrick’s mother as her caregiver. She waited for him for five years for him to notice that she was a woman who was there, ready, and in love with him, and for him to tell her how he was really feeling. Deciding that she is done, she quits her job with a note on the door. That one little note brought Garrick home for the holidays to stop her.Garrick is not like the other Pantera males. Taking a mate is not high on his priority list, maybe not on it at all, so when these feelings for Molly pop up, he has no idea how to deal with it. It’s obvious that he cares about her, that he wants her body, but his puma wants more than that – Molly wants and deserves more than that. Garrick knows it, so he’s troubled.Garrick is yet another steaming hot Pantera male that knows how to set his mate on fire – the readers too. A Suit, he’s supposed to be poised, mannered, and refined, but Molly brings out the possessive male in him – the one that wants to hide Molly away from the rest of the world and stay there with her forever.Like all the other Bayou Heat novellas, things end well for Garrick and Molly. If I had one complaint about the story, though, it is that I WANT MORE! It was so short, just enough to wet you whistle and leave you begging for more. Laura Wright and Alexandra Ivy are masters at that. Brava, ladies!!
What do You think about Bayou Noël (2013)?
Sweet, short read. Good job, Molly. Move on if a guy is dragging his feet, no matter how hot he is.
