Queen B’s Decree: I feel like I’ve been waiting for Crazy Rich Cajuns since we first met Bennett in book #2. I love the opposites attract trope and knew Erin Nicholas would write it well.
Naturally, I liked this story. But I didn’t love it, sadly. It felt like it was missing something for me. There was humor, and hot dirty talk, and angst, and great character development. But maybe the romance was missing for me? Kennedy and Bennet’s relationship went from flirting on the phone to whoops, we’re in love. I miss the inbetween moments.
What I did love about it: getting the background history on both Kennedy and Bennett and understanding them better. Seeing the other Landrys is always a plus as well.
One part really saddened me, though – Kennedy’s grandparents, Leo and Ellie. As we know from the previous books, they had divorced and were now back together. You would think that would be great and wonderful, but in hindsight, Leo feels like a doormat. Like he’s just letting Ellie back in his life whenever it’s convenient for her. And having their relationship act like #goals for their grandchildren makes me a little sad. No one should be a Leo with their worth unappreciated.
I feel like I’m going a little too deep here, Imma dial it back. Crazy Rich Cajuns was fun and sexy and a worthwhile read.
