“You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust your sails.”

3.5 stars

Sweet, sexy romance with a touch of the mystical, this was a lovely little read. Book #5 of the Boudreaux series brings us the story of Beau – eldest of the Boudreaux family, and a swoony alpha sweetheart.

Mallory Adams runs a herb shop that is located in a building owned by Beau, and underneath the apartment where he lives. They haven’t had a lot to do with each other, but when Mallory calls on Beau for help when a pipe bursts in her store, an attraction is sparked that takes them both by storm.

Jesus, she’s the sexiest little thing I’ve seen in, well… maybe ever. She intrigues me, and she turns me on with just a look. Since when is lip biting my thing? Apparently, since now that I know Mallory.

Beau and Mallory are gorgeous together. From the very beginning they are open about their attraction and what they are feeling for each other, and I love that they just dive on in and don’t hold back from each other. They date, they hang out, and the flirting and sweet moments are gorgeous, and of course there’s lots of sexy time.

Being touched by Beau is like being touched for the first time in my life, and I never want him to stop.

But there’s more to this book than just the romance. Mallory lives with supernatural powers – she can sense the emotions of others and she sees dead people – and her abilities and the way they impact her life are a big part of the story. Mallory embraces her powers but she has never explored them to their full extent, and when a dark presence starts to make itself known, she finds herself in unexpected and potentially deadly danger.

Beau is the only person that Mallory is unable to read. Usually she can sense emotions through a touch, but Beau’s touch brings her nothing but peace and quiet (and all sorts of sexy tingles). And though he doesn’t understand it, Beau doesn’t let it come between them, and I love his complete acceptance of Mallory as they fall hard for each other.

“I don’t love you despite your gifts, Mallory. I love you, period. In the end, isn’t that what we all want? Someone to choose us, to love us, no matter the circumstances?”

As usual, the rest of the Boudreaux clan are along for the ride and there are lots of group scenes – both with the whole family and with the classic girls’ night out. I loved catching up with the other couples from the series and loved the teases for Ben and Savannah’s long-awaited story. I can’t wait for their book up next!

I enjoyed this book. It was sweet, sexy and romantic, and I loved seeing Beau and Mallory get their HEA.

3.5 stars.
