ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2021
She’s been proposed to five times.
Five.
She even said yes to one of them.
And then broke his heart when she called it off. Not to mention her mother’s heart. And her grandmother’s. And his mother’s. And…you get the picture.
Paige Asher has now officially sworn off all dating. Diamonds give her hives.
All she wants is to be a yoga-doing, cat-collecting, vegetarian in peace. Away from her marriage-crazy family and all their expectations.
So when her weekend fling turns into a real friend and offers her a place to escape, she finds herself on his doorstep in Louisiana. And right in the middle of not just one family wedding, but three. Of course.
Charming, sexy bayou boy Mitch Landry gets stuff done. Whatever anyone needs. From alligator-sitting to getting a buddy drunk to showing a woman a good time to fixing a swamp boat, he’s the man. No problem. No drama.
But he wants a hell of a lot more from Paige than a temporary friends-with-benefits arrangement. He wants to take care of her. And her five cats. He also really wants other men to stop asking her to marry them.
But if a roommate and a few orgasms are all she wants, that’s what he’ll deliver.
He can just be her friend and not commit the greatest sin of all…asking her for forever.
Probably.

REVIEW:FOUR WEDDINGS AND A SWAMP BOAT TOUR is the sixth instalment in Erin Nicholas’ contemporary, adult BOYS OF THE BAYOU erotic, romance series. This is twenty two year old yoga instructor Paige Asher, and twenty-seven year old, handyman Mitch Landry’s story line. FOUR WEDDINGS AND A SWAMP BOAT TOUR can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading OH, FUDGE book five in the author’s HOT CAKES series where Paige and Mitch’s story begins.
Told from third person perspective FOUR WEDDINGS AND A SWAMP BOAT TOUR picks up six months after the events of OH, FUDGE, a story line where Louisianan Mitch Landry goes in search of Iowa born Paige Asher, his one night stand from months earlier but Paige has no desire for marriage, having been proposed to four times already, and in this Paige doesn’t do relationships or happily ever after. Sending Mitch home with his tail between his legs, Paige will receive, yet another, marriage proposal sending her back into the arms of our story line hero. Looking for a place to stay for the next few months, Paige moves in with Mitch in New Orleans, , the man with whom she will fall in love but Paige doesn’t expect to fall in love with the Louisiana born Landrys, a family she desperately hopes will love her in return. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Paige and Mitch, and the potential fall-out as Mitch desperately tries but fail to keep his distance from our story line heroine.
Paige Asher landed at Mitch Landry’s front door unannounced, and with no expectations of the future but Mitch’s family had other plans until our hero set them straight about scaring off the woman with whom he would fall in love. Working part-time with the Boys of the Bayou Swamp Tours, Paige would become fast friends with the Landry clan, unexpectantly volunteering to plan three of their upcoming weddings. Mitch Landry knows that to push Paige Asher could mean the end of their growing relationship but Mitch never expected his family to welcome Paige as one of their own, and in doing so, place our heroine in the direct line of fire for family get togethers, and upcoming events including wedding and babies.
The relationship between Mitch and Paige began as a one night stand that soon turned into something more when Mitch went in search of the woman who ghosted him the next morning. Never expecting to fall in love, Mitch sat back and watched the woman with whom he would fall in love, fall in love with his family first. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The camaraderie between characters is flirty, sassy and fun. Erin Nicholas pulls the reader into a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is entertaining and enjoyable; the characters are energetic, lively and spirited; the romance is seductive and hot.

“Goodnight, Mitch.”
They still just stood looking at each other.
“You need to go to your room,” he said, his voice a little tight.
“I will. You too.”
“Yeah, but—” He sighed. “You’re right by my door.”
She looked at the closed bedroom door again. And smiled. “I guess I am.”
She didn’t want to torture the guy. He was trying to be noble. Or something. But she wouldn’t deny that she liked that resisting her would be difficult.
“You need to move away from my bedroom door, Paige.” His voice was a little gruffer.
“You’re in my way of getting to my bedroom too,” she pointed out.
“But are you tempted to throw me over your shoulder and say to hell with all of your good intentions? Already? Within twenty minutes of deciding you even have good intentions?”
She laughed even as warmth filled her. Not just heat. Not lusty heat anyway. But a feel-good warmth that she didn’t quite understand. But she liked it. “Kind of.”
He swallowed hard. Then said, “Go to bed, Paige.”
She moved to the right, away from his door. As he came forward, she playfully pressed her back against the far wall.
He smiled, in spite of himself, and went to his bedroom door. He twisted the knob but paused and looked over at her.
She inched her way toward her bedroom, still against the wall. When she got to her door she reached for the knob and shot him a smile. “Goodnight, Mitch.”
“’Night.”
“And I’m just right here if you have any night time needs. Bad dreams.” She paused. “Good dreams.”
“Stop it.”
“Stop what? Just being a good friend.” She grinned.
“My dreams might include white dresses and tuxes,” he warned.
Again, no sense of oh shit. Instead she tipped her head. “You’re pretty good at bringing all of that up without asking the four-word question.”
He didn’t comment on that. “See you in the morning.”
“Okay.” She gave him another smile, then slipped into her room, feeling his eyes still on her until the door shut.
She slumped against it, pressing her hand to her stomach.
Dammit. She really liked him.
It was really too bad they weren’t going to kiss anymore.
