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 … 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?

Eli is the handsome man, every woman in town wants a piece of him.. he is successful, and has a family business to run.. he is not ready for love or any commitment.. he just wants to keep building and growing his business but things are not going as he wants.. someone is stealing money from his business, his family wants some answers and they hired someone who will give them exactly that..
Kate is a beautiful woman trying to forget her bad experiences with men and relationship.. she just wants to keep focusing on her work and not giving to any temptation or love.. her best friend calls her asking for help, something is not going right in their family business and they need her help to solve all this… nothing has prepared her for him, life is about to change and feelings are about to be exposed.. someone is ready to shake her comfort zone..
The story between Eli and Kate starts slow and playful, always very mature and positive, I love how they kept saying they didn’t want anything deeper than what they had but still their feelings were always showing no matter what.. Eli is a gentleman, he was always nice to kate, I love how he treats her and how he courts her.. even if he didn’t want to admit his feelings, he was always trying to be close.. Kate was a very nice heroine, mature, sensible and always nice to everybody.. These two were great together, you could always feel their chemistry and love ..
This is the beginning of the Boudreaux story.. It was a quick read, the story is very enjoyable and the characters are great. Kristen words and stories are always very pleasant to read and Easy Love was not the exception.. I’m so ready for Easy Charm.
This story was so sexy and moving. How Eli and Kate fought against their feelings and one mistake after another has the workings of destroying everything that they had been creating together. I thought that the story was great and this being my first read from Kristen Proby, I know it won’t be my last. She in an intriguing author who uses romance, sassiness and a great story filled with an amazing cast of characters to keep her readers wanting more. I know me personally, I will be moving onto the next book in this series. The only thing that kept me from giving this book five stars was the narration on the audio book. Normally I am a huge fan of Sebastian York but when the main male character has a New Orleans accent and the narrator keeps slipping in and out of that accent it is very distracting. Overall I loved it and will definitely continue on in this series.
