In Easy Love we have the starting story of the Boudreaux family, a mysterious Eli and Kate who come together to solve a mystery of thievery only to stumble across love instead....

Easy Love was a story that I was unsure if I would like it or not. But I have to say that the narrators of this story were brilliant. They both did such a fantastic job. Of course, we have Sebastian York as the male lead and Rachel Fulginiti as the female lead that we have here. I was really impressed, first off, with the accents. Especially in how Sebastian York shows the hero to be an authentic New Orleans raised man. We see some great culture that we are introduced to, a culture that, will make you want to book a flight to this diverse city and explore.

The story has two key players that you are bound to love:

• Eli Boudreaux, our sexy billionaire hero, who took over the family company when his father passed and consumes himself with work.


• Kate O’Shaughnessy, our lovely and strong heroine, is passionate about her work, driven and intelligent.
  

 

In Easy Love, we have a wonderfully written story that I couldn't help but become immersed in. This is also the first time I have been lucky enough to try out Kristen Proby and I have to say that I was impressed with how this story turned out. Even though it was a bit predictable at times, especially with the plot of the crime going on, what really had me cheering for this story here was the actual romance that develops between Eli and Kate. Eli's company is losing money, not a lot by Boudreaux standards, however, there are some important funds that they are short on, enough to raise an eyebrow. So Eli's sister and brother have a good friend from college, that is an expert at finding the culprit without suspicion. It's her job, so they bring on Kate to solve the riddle. She starts on as an assistant, and Eli is eager to show her around the city, and wanting to know about this "friend" of his siblings that is so highly regarded. Soon Eli starts to see why his family adores Kate because he is starting to feel "more" for her. But will Eli be brave enough to go after what he wants or let the only woman he loves go?

This was a fantastic romance and I was just cheering these two on. I loved seeing this strong alpha type personality of our hero, be swept away by strong and independent Kate. Their interactions were so heartwarming, and even though it does start as friends it grows into more very quickly. I liked that they aren't afraid of jumping into a relationship even though their time together is short. I especially enjoyed the changes in Eli and adjusting to being in a relationship and not letting work take too much control over his life.

"You're in love with her?"
"I love her so much I can't breathe."

I found the bantering between the siblings simply fascinating, they definitely love each other but they love to tease each other without mercy and boy that was fun to see. I especially had a fun time seeing their interactions with Kate and how this family will love and support each other no matter what. The mystery solving crime portion of the story was intriguing. Even though I was pretty sure who the culprit was the whole time, the characters don't see it so I definitely was engaged in this part of the book, seeing when they would actually figure out the truth. I honestly can't wait for more of this fun family that has me hooked!!
