I received this book from a publicist in exchange of an honest review./squealI tried to savior this book for as long as I could and perhaps a little too long, but it was worth every page because Voodoo On The Bayou was an amazing read!Craig Thibodeaux is a ladies man and a confirmed bachelor. When he choose to tango with the wrong woman while visiting his uncle in the Bayou Miste, the last thing he expected was for her to be related to the strange Madame LeBieu nor that her chant was a real voodoo curse. Now Craig is a small froggy by day and a human by night and he has two weeks to find a woman who will love him for who he is or he will stay the small green frog permanently.After receiving an anonymous toxic water sample, Elaine Smith, a research scientist leaves New Orleans and travels to Bayou Miste to find the cause of the pollution. Leaving behind a fiancee who had just broken her heart with another woman, the last thing Elaine plans to encounter is a sexy Cajun that has her heart beating a mile an hour. Craig is a fine specimen and one who invoked feeling inside the intelligent but timid scientist that she never knew existed - but there is still one problem - the man refuses to commit.Oh gosh I could just hug this book. I love the writing, it was so well done and it reminds me the story of the Frog Prince, except in this one, Elaine cannot know of Craig's curse. The book was funny, and endearing and crackled with a lot of fireworks between Craig and Elaine. I love finding books that are so well written that the chemistry between the two characters just falls into place like the pieces of a puzzle.I was absolutely amused with their first meeting when Craig transformed into human after suffering his first day as a frog and appeared naked in front of Elaine. Her reaction was just priceless as their conversation that had me snickering. Throughout the book you cannot help but root for these two and hope that Craig would come to his bonehead senses and change his ways for the sweet Elaine as the two try to save Bayou Miste.The book is filled with memorable characters ranging from a bunch of nutcase women that use to be a part of Craig's life, to Larry and Mo two of Craig's amusing friends. And the storyline kept me entertained as well. Elaine is afraid of water, but she is passionate enough to set aside her fears and get into the boat with a man that made her blood boil so she could find who and what is contaminating the waters of the Bayou and making the animals die. I definitely recommend this read.
