The Red Hot Cajun (2005) - Plot & Excerpts

I really enjoy Sandra Hill's sense of humor and fun writing style. Although RED-HOT CAJUN was not my favorite book in this series, it was a fun, light read for the weekend. Rene' was as sexy and hot as the rest of the cajun cowboys in this series. I love LOVE love the fact that he was an environmental lobbyist, fighting to save the bayou. The descriptions of the Black Bayou are intriguing and really brought my attention to the problems with wetland conservation. This book is worth reading just for the brief history lesson it offers.Rene' had many hidden talents and an education that you just didn't anticipate. And how often do you read about a hero who reveals his true feelings half-way through the book and then fights to convince the heroine they belong together? There were no commitment phobias, no cruelness and no mind games by the hero in this book. He was a man who made up his mind and then pursued what he wanted with passion and zeal.Valerie's character was a little too uptight for my tastes. I preferred Charmaine's wackiness in the second book. However, in Val's defense, she was able to work through her personal issues and redeem herself before the story ended. In my mind, Rene' deserved better. Maybe someone who truly appreciated him and his family. Maybe someone a little more laid back with a witty sense of humor.The good news is Tante Lulu was back in this book and as crazy as ever! Tante Lulu and her outrageous antics made the book for me. What can be funnier than a senior citizen who has a crush on Richard Simmons and is always looking for the next "Chippendude" show?

This was such a fun book to read. It helps if you have read the first three books in the series to appreciate the family. Rene' LeDeux knew Valerie Breaux from growing up in the same small down and for the past tens years they have hated each other. At least that is what they thought until they were forced to spend time together in the Bayou.They were from two different worlds and thought they wanted different things but in the end it was only the location that they had problems with.Ms. Hill makes you smile with her dialog especially with Saint Jude.Great books and fun read.

What do You think about The Red Hot Cajun (2005)?

4 1/2Enjoyed another laugh out-loud Cajun book by Sandra Hill. This one kept me thoroughly entertained, laughing, smiling, loved the lawyer jokes and the romance was very nice. The internal dialogue that runs along with the characters kept me smiling. :-) Rene (the hero, The King of Smooth) was such a romantic guy. Val (Valerie) started out snobbish, but as her character developed I learned more about her and the horrors she endured as a child with a Joan Crawford-type mother.There was a lot of environmental information packed into this one. The slow and steady destruction of Louisianna, building levees to re-route the current rivers that had detrimental effects on the ecosystem. This book was written before Hurricane Katrina, but it mentions the destruction that would ensue if a massive hurricane were to hit Louisianna. Interesting.Nice story. Tante Lulu and her antics were funny. Neat character that added color to the story. Got to see Tee-John growing up in this one (16). All the previous characters from books 1-3 are here with updates, too. Nice. Touch of suspense, albeit not much, this is more of a feel-good romance. Some things to share from the book:A sign in the bar: "Beer: Helping White Boys Learn to Dance Since 1837"The author mentions one of her books, "The Very Virile Viking" in this one. Neat! Tante Lulu was reading it.One lawyer joke: "What's the difference between God and a lawyer?"Answer: "God doesn't think he's a lawyer."

A ton of past story of why they don't get along in this book, at the same time as lusting after eachother. Rene's friends kidnap Valerie & bring her to Rene's log cabin in the bayou... Tante Lulu stays with them during this venture to keep them apart, but push them together at the same time. Snarky Valerie has her retorts, but it's relatively short lived. Both are jobless now & they are eventually going to do a documentary about saving these wetlands. Same as the past 2 other books I read in the past couple of days... They are apart, because they can't be together even though they want to be, then after a time there is a come together and an HEA as orchestrated by the LeDeux family. Not a spoiler if it's totally predictable!
