From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a series set in the intriguing and sexy city of New Orleans, Louisiana. A powerful family, each sibling successful and ready for love!

Eli Boudreaux’s family has built ships and boats in Louisiana for generations. 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.

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 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?

Review

"The vibrant, diverse backdrop of the Big Easy gives the author's newest release, Easy Love, a sultry and sensual feel that's nearly a tangible thing, especially when combined with the off-the-charts chemistry between protagonists, Eli Boudreaux and Kate O'Shaughnessy." Yvette-Nose Stuck in a Book"With Easy Love, Kristen Proby gives readers a seductive, emotionally-gripping and all-around entertaining story and I can't wait to return to the lives of the Boudreaux family in the next book of the series." Yvette, Nose Stuck in a Book"Look out Montgomery boys the Boudreaux's have arrived!" Debbie Cox, Reviewer"It's the perfect romance. It made me laugh, cry, and the chemistry between Eli and Kate is off the charts!" Bethany Lopez, Author"You not only get a feel for life in the Big Easy, you get a feel for the food and the music and the shops. I can't say enough good things about this book. Read it. Love it. Devour it." K.L. Grayson, Author"Overall, this is an amazing start to a new series. I laughed, I cried and I swooned." Sandra, Two Book Pushers"Eli was everything I hoped he would be and more. Brooding, romantic, alpha and just a bit of cocky to make me love him. We love her men and want to be BFFs with her ladies. You get that in this book." Heather, Naughty and Nice Book Blog"Sexy and sweet with a bit of mystery...a total win!" Jillian, Read-Love-Blog

What an absolutely fabulous, funny, sexy and sweet love story with a little bit of suspense and mystery built in!!!

Easy Love is book 1 in Kristen Proby's The Boudreaux Series. I have to say this series is off to a GREAT start. I look forward to reading more books in this series. Kristen is definitely becoming one of my favorite authors. I have loved every book I have read by her. She has a way of creating these fair tale type romance books. Some may think that they are a little over the top but I love them. I read to escape into a fantasy world and she helps me do that so easily. Her writing is smooth and flawless. I love that her books dive right into the heart of the story…she doesn't add all that extra background info and in turn drags things out. Her books are generally ones I can devour in less than a day, but a lot of that is because I hate to put them down.

In this book we meet Kate and Eli. What amazing characters. Kate was such a great woman. I loved her innocence but she was also a very strong person. She was smart, sassy but also very caring and loving. She had some bad things happen to her in her past relationship, so she really doesn't want to go down the love road again. I can't say that I blame her. That is until she meets Eli. No one can resist this man!!! He was FABULOUS!!! He was a great mix of strong and cocky Alpha with a sweet southern charm. Years ago Eli lived a good life of doing what he wanted and living how he wanted, that was until his father passed away and on his death bed said some things to Eli that made him change his lifestyle. Eli was determined to keep the family company going strong and making his father proud of him. So he too didn't want to jump on the love train. That is until Kate shows up and changes everything!!!! These two were perfect for each other, they truly balanced each other out. Their banter made me laugh and their chemistry threatened to melt my kindle….smokin HOT!!!

We also got to meet all the other Boudreaux Family members. There is Beau, Charly, Declan, Savannah (Van), and Gabby. I have always loved reading series that include family. It's great to see what a special bond all the family members have. I look forward to reading books about each of these characters.

Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was that Kristen had the ability to make me feel like I was in New Orleans with these characters. She gave us a feel of the food, music and nightlife that the Big Easy has to offer. I have to say it made me want to take a vacation there sometime soon :) There is only one thing that I can say I was upset about with this book. There are two things that happen in this story, that weren't resolved in the end. I was left with two questions about stuff that happened and I wish we would've found out how they played out. But even with that said, it didn't deter me from fully enjoying, loving and devouring this book.

Whether you are a fan of Kristen's books or haven't read any of them yet…don't wait, pick up this book and read it now!!! You don't want to miss reading about this amazing family and that is left to come for them.

4.0 out of 5 stars What an introduction....

I've happily discovered a new favorite author! I first stumbled upon the extremely hot cover of easy kisses and realized that it was part of a series. I'm OCD about series, if I don't start at the beginning what have I missed? Will I be able to really enjoy and follow along, etc.

This was such a beautiful story, with lots of feels, very hot sexy scenes, and a true family story. Not the,yes there's a bunch of us and we're all dysfunctional, lying, greedy, two faced family drama. They're broken but loyal. I absolutely love the family dynamic and humor with the siblings. I'm so grateful there are more stories for each of these characters!

Ok that said, Eli and Kate are hot. You can actually feel the chemistry between them. At first I was nervous because right off the bat it looks like they're just going to hook up right away and then realize, oh I'm falling for this person. Thank goodness it wasn't like that. Eli tries to stay away but can't, however it's not insta sex either. They struggle and fight it but you get to watch the slow burn and wow!

The story takes some unexpected twists and it gets down right serious and real. There are some truly devastating events and I hurt for everyone involved. It expands to the family members and yet doesn't dominate the story. I just absolutely love the supporting characters here!

I think Eli was well written, yes he's portrayed as cold and a manwhore but he's actually very deep and very southern gentleman. He's direct and doesn't apologize for taking control but still respectful. Alpha with manners and charm. He's aware these feelings are there and though he doesn't know why he doesn't do the opposite and try to make Kate hate him, he embraces them and moves on.

Kate is fantastic, strong and not a pushover. She's dealt with a lot but isn't shattered and fragile, she's amazing and a survivor. This is refreshing! I hate the I'm a total doormat,now I need this new man to build me up and convince me I'm worth it. She's damaged but strong and knows she's worth it. She's witty funny and hilarious when she drinks! The restaurant scene with her,Eli, a lemon drop martini and Joe is hilarious!

This was by far one of the best introductions to an author I've had in a while. She will be added to the list of " alert me immediately when new releases are on their way" authors that I eagerly anticipate. Looking forward to catching up on this series!
Thank you Kristen!

I became a Kristen Proby fan a while back. Her books are sweet and flirty and fun to read. I adored the Seattle Series and was kind of disappointed by the Big Sky series. HOWEVER...Easy Love goes back to the fun Kristen Proby that we had in the Seattle Series. This book is a great start to this series and I can't wait to read about the other Boudreaux brothers and sisters.

Mary Katherine O’Shaughnessy (Kate) has been hired to help her friend's family find a thief in their company. Kate is excited because not only does she get to stay in New Orleans during her job stint, but she gets to hang out with her two best friends from college, Savannah and Declan Boudreaux. What Kate doesn't count on is Van and Dec's older brother Eli being completely wonderful. Through this story we learn that Kate's past is still fresh and has left her very scarred. She overcomes this past though and slowly learns to trust again. This part of the story is dark but handled very well by Kristen Proby.

Eli has lived his job for the last two years since his fathers death. The death not only rocked his world but forced Eli to grow up and become more responsible. I grew to love Eli's character because he's smart, caring and extremely sweet to Kate. Kate makes his life happy again and brings out the best in him. I felt like these two characters were made for or written for each other. They balance each other out very well and create two characters that you genuinely get to know.

As usual, this is one of Kristen's easy going and sweet reads. I loved the New Orleans setting and thoroughly enjoyed the Boudreaux family as well. If you loved the Seattle Series, you will love the start to this series as well.

I loved this book. The ttitle "Easy Love" is a bit of a paradix. When it starts-- it appears easy but as in life nothing is that easy. The book has good family values and morals. It's great that the characters can work out their problems andwork at life. Fantastic author.

Review:
I loved the setting of this book. I'd love to go to New Orleans one day. It sounds like such an interesting place to visit.
This book was interesting enough for me to keep reading. I wanted to know who was stealing from the company.
The characters where nice, they where well developed.
I didn't really care for the way Eli said Dawling, it didn't sound right in my ear.
The relationship between Eli and Kate started of kind of random. Not sure what to think of it. It wasn't bad or anything I just didn't feel that connection they did right away.
I found myself skipping over the sex scenes and that's shocking for me since I love me some smut in books. Its the way it was written and the terms they used 'anus' 'scrotum' 'pubic bone' no man says oh I found a nice spot under your pubic bone. Its not hot hahah.

Anyhow overall it was an oke read. Not bad and not amazing.
It's a book you'd read on a rainy day and you want something quick and easy.

This book was an easy read. Read it really quickly. The story was intriguing. There were a lot of funny scenes and a lot of romance. Nothing vulgar. While reading, I could "see" every single scene evolving in front of my eyes... I guess, I was really into it ... xD Someone should make a movie based on this book. Really liked it.

THIS WAS A SCREAMINGLY BEAUTIFUL READ.. ok y can't help it saying because honestly I thought it would be a simple and lovely romantic story it was no way a simple story... omg I'm in love with Eli now.. I loved him oh so much. It's not like there is a great suspense or rather there is as it is a little shocking when Kate uncovers actually who the real thief is, but the love, their bond.. sigh.. I just can't wait to dive in the next one in the series and so I'm gonna just do that.. Loved this one 😍
