I have a signed copy of Alison Kent’s latest, NO LIMITS, and it’s looking for a new home. If you haven’t read an Alison Kent book you are really missing out. She writes sexy romantic adventure. Love her books. And the cover on this one is gorgeous. Have a look:
Simon Baptiste’s latest SG-5 mission just went south in a major way. It seems like a good time to take care of some business back home in Louisiana. Simon knows it ain’t going to be pretty. He’s got old enemies in Bayou Allain who won’t exactly roll out the red carpet. But Simon’s first night back is more than he bargained for. Not only has the homestead gone to hell in a hand basket, but there’s a half-naked woman hiding inside it—a woman whose face Simon knows all too well. It’s Michelina Ferrer, the sultry spokesmodel for her family’s Ferrer fragrance empire—and Simon’s been staring at her picture on a billboard outside his Manhattan apartment for weeks…
Micky Ferrer came down to Bayou Allain looking for her old college friend, only to discover that Lisa Landry has been missing for days. As soon as Micky starts asking questions, someone runs her car off the road. She’s hiding out in the old Baptiste place when Simon shows up—and he’s the hottest thing she’s laid eyes on since she got to town. Simon agrees that something strange is going on and that Lisa’s disappearance may be tied to it. As he and Micky search for answers, the sweltering heat makes it hard to keep their heads straight or their hands off each other…even as they unravel the small-town secrets that some people are willing to kill for…

Want to win it? Let’s talk about Louisianna, the setting of this book. The sweltering heat makes it a fabulous place for a romance novel. One of my favorite Louisianna-set romances is LUCKY’S LADY by Tami Hoag. Tell me your favorite. If you can’t think of one set in Louisianna, tell me your all-time favorite romance setting and the title of the book. Leave a comment here and I’ll pick a winner by Monday morning.

I loved LUCKY’S LADY! My favorite by Tami Hoag is A THIN DARK LINE. However, although there is a romantic element in the story, it’s a mystery/thriller. So I’ll stick with LUCKY’S LADY.
by Sarah Grimm May 2nd, 2009 at 6:43 amI would pick Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts.
by Maureen May 2nd, 2009 at 7:08 amI can’t think of any other than Midnight Bayou by Nora. Such a great book, fun, and a bit of mystery to keep it interesting!
by RachieG May 2nd, 2009 at 8:48 amThe charlaine harris books (the first few with Bill) are set in the New Orleans…and are great!
After Bill though, they are a bit blah!

by mindy May 2nd, 2009 at 8:56 amThere was a good book I read called That Old Devil Moon that was based in New Orleans
by cheryl kellery May 2nd, 2009 at 9:29 amI tend to love paranormals that are set in New Orleans. It’s so full of history and the imagination can just go wild. Two of my favorite authors to set books there are Sherrilyn Kenyon and Lori Handeland.
by BookstoreDeb May 2nd, 2009 at 10:08 amEveryone’s named my favorites already. I love Lucky’s Lady and Midnight Bayou! Both are absolutely awesome! And every time I read a book set in Louisiana, it makes me want to move there, hurricanes and all!
by Victoria May 2nd, 2009 at 10:24 amI love Slow Heat in Heaven by Sandra Brown. I still re-read it every few years, it never feels dated to me.
by Mari May 2nd, 2009 at 11:27 amHot Nights, Dark Desires anthology with Eden Bradley, Sydney Croft and Stephanie Tyler is my favorite book that is set in Louisiana I have read it over and over.
by Greta May 2nd, 2009 at 12:37 pmSome of my favorite novels by Heather Graham are set in Louisiana including “Ghost Walk” and “Kiss of Darkness.”
by Jane May 2nd, 2009 at 1:07 pmThis is pathetic, but my first thought was a Sunfire Romance (YA historicals, and oh, how I loved them.) I think it was called Danielle. And there were pirates.
by rigmarole May 2nd, 2009 at 1:22 pmThere are so many good books set in Louisiana! My favorite is ‘Slow Heat in Heaven’ by Sandra Brown.
by Susan May 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pmI liked the Louisiana Gentlemen Series by Jennifer Blake… Luke, Wade, Kane, Roan…mmm can’t think of the others! I havn’t read any of Allison’s book but they sound great!! Thanks for chance to win. mesreads[at]gmail[dot]com

Alison has written two wonderful books set in new orleans:
Goes Down Easy-kidnapping story with a PI &
Red Letter Nights-Luv U Madly!!
Also, Metsy Hingle writes WONDERFUL stories set in New Orleans! Lot’s of suspense & romance.
My Favorite:
Behind the Mask- an excop/bounty hunter will get a huge reward for turning in a husband’s runaway wife & child
Also good:
The Wager- battle over ownership of the Princess Hotel
Flash Point- murder mystery
Black Silk- serial killer leaves black silk stockings at the scene
She writes for the Desire line too!
by Laurie G May 3rd, 2009 at 2:10 amI do remember several characters that were from Louisiana. They are always so sexy and they have that special vocabulary that you only find in someone that is from that state.
One of my favs was Joann Ross’s novella Cajun Heat in Bayou Bad Boys. Can you say yummmmy!
by Booklover1335 May 3rd, 2009 at 4:32 pmI’m so not good at remembering which story is set where – the first title that popped into my mind is “In the Highlander’s Bed” which is, of course, set in Scotland.
by Deborah R May 4th, 2009 at 7:57 amI can’t remember reading to many books that were set in the south but here are a few that stick out in my mind,
RUMBLE ON THE BAYOU by Jana De Leon
THE THREE MISS MARGARETS by Louise Shaffer
I have Betsy Hingle’s book BEHIND THE MASK and BLACK SILK but haven’t read them yet. Ooo…sure sounds good Laurie G.!
My all time favorite romance book ever is GONE WITH THE WIND! Hey, that was set in the south!
by Michele L. May 4th, 2009 at 8:56 amJoanne Rock has written many books set in New Orleans and most of the Dark Hunter books by Sherrilyn Kenyon are set there too. I love to visit New Orleans, even if it’s just by book.
