Gabrielle Boudreaux, the youngest of the Boudreaux clan, is a single mother of her young son, Sam. Running a Bed and Breakfast at the family plantation house at the edge of the Mississippi River, Gabby loves her inn, her boy and her family. She meets new people every day, and takes pride in the house and land that has been in her family for more than five generations. Blessed beyond measure, she’s also lonely, although she would never admit that to anyone. Until Rhys O’Shaughnessy walks through her door, brooding and wounded and the sexiest thing she’s ever laid eyes on.
Rhys has been at the top of his game as a major league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs for more than ten years. Baseball is in his blood. But when he tears his rotator cuff and has to sit a season out, he retreats to Inn Boudreaux at the recommendation of his cousin, Kate, to heal and work toward building his shoulder back to perfect shape with only one goal in mind: to return to the game he loves. But he didn’t plan on being utterly charmed by a devastatingly beautiful woman and her baseball-loving son.
When Rhys’ shoulder has healed and he’s given the chance to return to his team, will he leave the family he’s come to love behind, or will he stay with Gabby and Sam?
Easy Charm” is book two in Kristen Proby’s Boudreaux Series, and it’s Gabby Boudreaux’s turn at love. Gabby is the youngest of the Boudreaux clan and isn’t looking for a relationship. Gabby is happy and content running the Inn Beaudreaux which has been in her family for generations. She works hard as the proprietor of the Inn and she focuses all her time and attention on the Inn and her seven year old son Sam. She is a single mom who has been raising Sam all by herself after his birth father walked away and shattered her heart. Gabby is my kind of girl. She doesn’t wallow in what life has dealt her but picks herself up by her bootstraps and makes the best of it. She is everything you want in a heroine.
We met Rhys O’Shaughnessy in Easy Love, book one of this series. He’s Kate’s cousin and most importantly an incredibly talented Chicago Cubs pitcher but with a heart of gold. Rhys is injured earlier in the year and he comes to New Orleans and the Inn to recuperate. Kate thinks the solitude the Inn offers will help him recover quickly. All it takes for Rhys is seeing Gabby and he is struck. He knows he wants to get to know her and soon.
Rhys is in no hurry and he senses Gabby’s distance is for a good reason. He is beyond a gentlemen and generally just enjoys spending time with her and Sam. The easiness that Rhys has with Sam opens Gabby’s heart to Rhys. Their relationship is a slow sizzle that turns into a long burning heat. There isn’t a ton of drama and this book and you just get to enjoy the love story. This book was a one sitting read for me that left a smile on my face. Can’t wait for the next Boudreaux sibling’s love story to unfold.
