I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

He's her best friend.

A reformed bad boy turned hot teacher.

And after one spur-of-the-moment Vegas wedding... her husband.

Jordan Benoit and Fletcher Landry have been best friends since they were six. He's always been The Guy. When she needed picked up, cheered up, or lifted up--like literally, to see the stage at a concert--Fletcher was the guy.

So when her boyfriend dumps her--on national TV--Fletcher immediately gets on a plane and comes to her rescue.

And when she ends up in a Vegas wedding chapel and needs someone to say, "I do"...yep, Fletcher's the guy. Of course.

Jordan knows what she wants. A life in her hometown. A job with alpacas. And Fletcher. Not necessarily in that order.

They've said the vows. They'd told the world. They've told their grandmas. Forget taking things slow. Forget just heavy petting. Forget any chance of backing out when things get tough. They're going to have to go all the way, in every way.

After all, friends becoming lovers should be the easiest thing in the world. Right?

  Erin Nicholas really has the characteristics of a swoon-worthy man down pat! With the second book in her Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series she yet again stole my heart with a sexy dirty-talking Cajun gentleman in HEAVY PETTING. This friends to lovers story is chock full of humor, heart and a whole lot of love and I enjoyed it so much! Great characters, great atmosphere and just one more book to love in the world of Landry!

Fletcher is a doll. He knows how to live and play hard, but there’s been one constant in his life that he’s always put on a pedestal and that’s his BFF. When she needs him, he’s there … and when he gets the chance to truly love her the way he wants, watch out world because sparks are going to fly!

Jordan is a sweetheart and while I had to glare at her a time or two for her actions in the past, she was all in with her love of Fletcher in this book so I had to love her.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a close knit group of family and friends who rally around to make a great backdrop as humor and passion ignite towards that happily ever after.

He’s her best friend. A reformed bad boy turned hot teacher. And after one spur-of-the-moment Vegas wedding… her husband.

Jordan Benoit and Fletcher Landry have been best friends since they were six. He’s always been The Guy. When she needed picked up, cheered up, or lifted up–like literally, to see the stage at a concert–Fletcher was the guy.

So when her boyfriend dumps her–on national TV–Fletcher immediately gets on a plane and comes to her rescue.

And when she ends up in a Vegas wedding chapel and needs someone to say, “I do”…yep, Fletcher’s the guy. Of course.

But being The Guy 24/7 is a lot. He just wants everyone to give him a freaking minute to get this marriage thing right. Including his sexy, sweet new wife who he’s wanted for three years. Who is exasperatingly, temptingly all-in from minute one.

Jordan knows what she wants. A life in her hometown. A job with alpacas. And Fletcher. Not necessarily in that order.

They’ve said the vows. They’d told the world. They’ve told their grandmas. Forget taking things slow. Forget just heavy petting. Forget any chance of backing out when things get tough. They’re going to have to go all the way, in every way.

After all, friends becoming lovers should be the easiest thing in the world. Right?

Excerpt

“I also think that I need to—” “Marry me.” “Date you.” They spoke at the same time. Then stared at each other. “What?” “What?” They spoke simultaneously again. “I was trying to give you some freaking space before I said anything.” He seemed very annoyed suddenly. She leaned in, bracing her hand on the seat between them. “The last person I need space from is you, Fletcher. I mean, we’ve basically been dating for twenty years. If dating is about getting to know someone and figuring out how well you fit with them and figuring out if you want to spend the rest of your life with them…we’ve done that.” He shook his head. “You have got to be one of the most exasperating people in my life.” Her eyebrows rose. “Considering your twin brothers are Zeke and Zander, being one of the most exasperating people in your life is pretty huge.” He shook his head. “Absolutely exasperating. To think I could’ve kissed you when we were standing next to a king-sized bed and you were only in your bra and panties and you would have been all in.” Jordan felt her cheeks flush, but she grinned widely. “I really am a pain.” “You really are.” His gaze dropped to her mouth. Jordan felt a zing of excitement go through her. She really wanted him to kiss her. “I think you dating me is a great idea,” he said after a moment. Thank God. “You’re sure you’re done dating other people? Having fun with all those girls? All the casual relationships?” she asked. “If it means I get to be with you? Absolutely.” Her stomach swooped, harder and faster than before. “This isn’t crazy?” “It makes a hell of a lot more sense than anything else. Like you dating other men. Or either of us being with anyone else.” “We’ve never talked about this before.” “You’ve been taken,” he said simply. Right. That was true. And Fletcher was too good of a guy to go after another man’s girl. She still felt compelled to say, “It’s been three years since anything happened.” “Again, because you’ve been taken.” His voice dropped. “Only because you’ve been taken, Jordan.” Her heart skittered at that and she wet her lips. She thought about her next words carefully. Several seconds ticked by. Then she said simply, “Prove it.” Fletcher reached out, wrapped his big hand around her wrist, and tugged her close. He cupped the back of her head and brought her in until they were nose to nose. “This changes everything,” he said. Almost as if it was a warning. “I know.” “I’m the last frog you’re ever going to kiss. So be sure you want it now.” That was exactly what she’d wanted to hear without even realizing it.
