REVIEW: Easy Love by Kristen Proby

Easy Love by Kristen Proby is such an amazing read! The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. I adore the green on the cover, it really makes the book stand out and made me want to own a paperback copy for my bookcase. The other thing that drew me to this book, was the author. I’ve yet to read a book from this author that has been less than perfect and Easy Love is no different.

Easy Love revolves around Eli and Kate. Eli, Savannah, and Declan are siblings who run Bayou Industries. When a good chuck of money goes missing, they realize they have a problem. Enter Kate. Kate’s job is to feel out the employees and figure out who’s stealing. Savannah and Declan immediately warn Eli away from Kate because of his manwhore ways, but once these two meet, it’s only a matter of time.

I loved Kate as the heroine. She’s strong, smart, and is nobody’s victim. As much as I loved Kate, I adored Eli. His southern charm will make you want to have his fictional babies. He’s definitely book boyfriend material. But put these two characters together and you have perfection. The attraction between the two is instant and full of heat.
The story is well-written, the characters are fully developed, and the storyline is engaging. This reader can’t wait for the next book in The Boudreaux Series!

Eli Boudreaux’s family has built ships and boats in Louisiana for generations. He comes from a hard working, wealthy family and his empire is growing by leaps and bounds. At thirty, he is the youngest CEO to ever head Bayou Enterprises, co-chairing with his eldest brother. His head for business and his no-nonsense work ethic is also quickly making him the best the company has seen in generations. His staff admires him, women adore him and Eli’s family is solid. But he’s recently discovered that someone on the inside of his business is stealing from him and he’s determined to find out who.

Kate O’Shaughnessy is hired by companies all over the world to slip inside and investigate every member of the organization from the CEO down to the custodial staff to find the person or persons responsible for embezzling. She’s excellent at blending, becoming part of the team, and finding the weakest link. She’s smart, quick-witted, and she’s now been hired by Bayou Enterprises, specifically Eli Boudreaux. The attraction is immediate and the chemistry is off the charts, but Kate has heard all about Eli’s playboy past and she has a job to do. Sleeping with the boss isn’t a part of that job, even if just the sound of her name rolling off that Cajun tongue and the way he fills out a designer suit does make her sweat.

Eli’s southern charms surprise Kate. The man whose reputation labels him as a ruthless, callous womanizer is not the man she’s coming to know intimately. He’s generous, protective and makes her smile. Cracking through Kate’s cool, reserved demeanor and discovering her love of sexy, expensive lingerie is a challenge Eli can’t resist, but her sweet nature, love of family and sense of humor pull at him in ways no one else ever has.

But when the person responsible for trying to single-handedly dismantle Eli’s empire comes to light, and it’s time for Kate to move on, to what lengths will Eli go to keep the woman he’s fallen in love with by his side?
