4.0 out of 5 stars Growl and purrrrrrrr

BAYOU HEAT (Bayon and Jean/Baptiste) picks up immediately following the events of the previous storyline. The Pantera are a puma-shifting, Wildlands living group of inhabitants who have been cursed with infertility with the possibility of extinction. But not that Raphael’s human mate is expecting the first cub in over fifty years, everything goes from bad to worse, when it appears black magic is being used against the Panthera to prevent the continuation of the species.

BAYON is the third storyline in the Bayou Heat series. Bayon is a Hunter. On the search for the source of black magic affecting Ashe and her unborn child, he will soon discover that the woman he long thought was missing and dead, has been held captive for nearly twenty five years. Freeing his would be mate reveals plenty of information especially when she reveals that the people who had set her up were two of their very own shifters.

JEAN-BAPTISTE is the fourth storyline and a little more complicated. Jean-Baptiste is having difficulty controlling his cat so he resorts to getting inked with specially infused ink that keeps his baser instincts at bay. But when he is sent on assignment to retrieve a voodoun priestess, he is beyond words when a Suit is sent along for the ride-Genevieve Burel-a top negotiator in the arts of persuasion. Only this time, the only one needing persuading is Genevieve herself when Jean-Baptiste’s cat claims to have found its mate

BAYOU HEAT –Bayon and Jean-Baptiste is another welcome addition to the continuing saga of the Pantera shifters in the Wildlands of Louisiana. The sexual chemistry in each of the storylines will make you growl and purr like the cat we all want to be. Laura Wright and Alexandra Ivy bring together a secretive species that is trying to stave off extinction at the hands of curse brought about by sibling rivalry taken to the extreme.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was never a cat person before...

I'll start off with my usual disclaimer that I'm not going to provide a synopsis for the story since so many other reviews do it. I'd rather give you my opinion for the actual story.

Of the two stories, I'd say that I liked Bayon's story better. Maybe because the ending didn't feel like it was quite so sudden (okay, it was since I could easily have read another 100 pages), but for Jean-Baptiste, I was disappointed in the ending. It just felt way too sudden for me. I'd have been happier with it being 100 pages longer, however, I'd have settled for just one more glimpse into where it was about to head when it suddenly ended! (Okay, I'm done complaining now, but really, I'd so buy a full-length book for these stories!)

Could you read these as standalones? I guess? Maybe? I don't think you'd know an awful lot, which would mean that you're at a disadvantage because you wouldn't know any of the previous two yummy characters. I don't know why you'd want to read books 3 and 4 without having read 1 and 2 though. Seriously, if you've not read Raphael/Parrish I think you really need to.

I'm impressed that these two authors have managed to create a cohesive world. We don't really have any- what? where on earth did that come from? huh?- moments that could quite easily be done when books are being written by two separate people where the stories are supposed to flow one after the other. (Heck, some single authors can't even manage to be cohesive from one chapter to another, let along one book to another book. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox!). But suffice to say, I truly am impressed that the writing is being done by two different people - yes, the world is the same, but the ability to carry the storyline as we progress through the books has been great. I don't feel like the stories are 'choppy' in the least. Both are very well done.

Bottom line: very enjoyable reading - really quick. The steamy scenes are very steamy indeed. And where can I get my own Pantera, danggit??!?!?!

These are great short reads that are full of hot sexy alpha males who keep you wanting more. The characters are great and fully formed, the romance is hot and the story is great.

the stories are all about the pantera who are a race of puma shifters who live in the wildlands in the bayou, they are having trouble breeding and their magic is disappearing and they don't know why, they only know some humans are responsible and they are trying to figure out why.

Throughout each story there is a pantera male who finds his mate, hot romance and action leads you to finding more about how the panteras problems with evil humans and pantera traitors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great second installment!

Two of my favorite authors have done it again! This newest installment in the Bayou Heat series, where a secret race of puma shifters are living in a Louisiana bayou and battling extinction, picks up exactly where the last two left off and it is hot! Bayon and Jean-Baptiste are two very different shifters (one a Hunter, the other a Nurturer) but they're both very alpha and both fall hard for their females.

If you haven't read the first Bayou Heat books (Raphael and Parish) I will be mentioning things from there that might be considered spoilers so don't read any further.

Possible spoiler alert...you have been warned.

This installment starts with Bayon on a mission hunting whoever hurt Ashe at the end of Raphael/Parish. What he finds, however, is the woman who stole his heart a long time ago. She's in captivity and under the influence of drugs, which made it impossible for her escape. (Not saying who it is because I don't want to give away a spoiler.) Bayon's story is really sweet as the two of them find their footing with each other again. The romance and sensuality is really high and while he's super alpha, so is she. This heroine has no problem holding her own against the dominating Bayon. I really enjoyed reading about them as a couple and the problems he helped her work through. And while Bayon is rough around the edges, he is such a sweetheart with her. I just loved reading their banter.

Now, Jean-Baptiste...oh what to say about this delicious hero. He's a Nurturer who is suffering in silence about an affliction. He can't control his cat, even outside the Bayou and that is bad news. So he's been getting tattoos and piercings with a special metal that helps control him. But then he meets Genevieve Burel, or `Miss Burel' as he likes to call her. They're both sent on a mission to New Orleans, but Jean-Baptiste plans to keep her out of the loop. Funnily enough, Genevieve has secrets of her own and plans to do the same to him. Neither of them plan for the explosive chemistry between each other. There's a great scene where another puma male is flirting with her and Jean-Baptiste has to fight his cat for control. The possessiveness he feels takes him by surprise but I really liked that he didn't fight it. When he wanted something (Genevieve), he went for her.

These two stories flowed seamlessly together, one right after the other, giving us more insight and mythology into the Bayou Heat series. These pumas are trying to fight what is basically an invisible threat against Ashe, the first person to become pregnant with a shifter in a long time. Their race is struggling not to die out and she's their last hope. While this one ends on a cliffhanger too, it's a plot cliffhanger, not a HEA type cliffhanger. I have no doubt that both these couples are meant for each other. There are a few more characters introduced that I'm really curious to know more about too, especially after a big revelation at the end. The Bayou Heat world got richer with this installment and now I'm really eager for the next.

Wow what a book, I read the first one in the series and loved it, couldn't wait to read the second one. I wasn't disappointed. Bayon what can you say, cool, sexy and super smooth. Jean Baptists totally unpredictable, but so loving to his girl, and the tattoos yummy. It took me just a couple of hours to read this book and can't wait for the next. Laura and Alexandra have brought again another great series to my imagination. Brilliant.
