The LeBieu family is back. But, this time, it's Lucie weaving the voodoo magic. The only problem?Lucie isn't very good at it.When Mamere LaBieu receives a foreclosure notice, her granddaughter decides that a rich husband would be the perfect solution to everyone's problems. Conveniently, Eric Littington, congressional candidate and fair-haired son of the town's wealthiest family, just happens to be in Bayou Miste. Inconveniently, so is Lucie's ex, Ben Boyette.So, Lucie cooks up a love spell, charms a 'love bug', and sets it loose to weave its magic. Which wouldn't be too bad ... if Ben hadn't gotten in the way, been (literally) hit by the 'love bug', and then managed to turn it loose on an unsuspecting town.Of course, this is Lucie the Voodoo princess who made a 'gator fall in love with a dog. So, anything can happen. And does.~*~*~I was thrilled when Entangled Publishing offered me the chance to read this sequel to Voodoo on the Bayou. Just couldn't wait to see who got hexed, next. And check-in with Craig and Elaine, who do get a few mentions in this one.This series is part of the publishers Suspense imprint, so there's more to it than a misguided love spell and the ensuing hilarity. Make no mistake, Lucie and her 'love bug' are worthy of more than a few laugh-out-loud moments. Underlying the romance, however, is the reason that Eric and Ben are back in Bayou Miste.There's mystery, suspense, and some serious danger for our intrepid trio. But, as my ARC was not a final version, I dare not say more.I will say, this is a great, fun read. And, I guar-on-tee, you'll hit the floor laughing over Lucie's attempts to capture her havoc-wreaking 'love bug'.~*~*~Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary electronic copy of this book from the publisher.
