Summary: Two thumbs down.
Review: This was cute and sexy but didn't knock me over with hilarity as I was expecting having heard this book was supposed to be laugh out loud funny. But humor is a subjective thing. The arguments and the conflicts were a little forced but overall it was an entertaining book and Remy was certainly a yummy cajun.

Summary: Original, fun & entertaining....
Review: This was my very first Sandra Hill book & I am much impressed. Not only was it original, but down right unusual. And - I laughed out loud so many times I can't count them all. One of my girls even noticed and had to come ask me what was up. I guess I would have to say that the 'misunderstandings' between both the main characters weren't that convincing to me - meaning that I didn't see the need to get as upset as they did. However, I didn't allow it to cloud my enjoyment of the book. It was a really good romance, a really fun read, had lots a good secondary characters, had good descriptions of the town & the bayou..... all in all a worthwhile way to spend my reading time. I've already picked up more of her work.... she's worth it!
FYI - I found out after I read this one that 'The Love Potion' actually came first. I should have read it first.... however, that didn't affect my enjoyment of this book.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: When her relationship with her fiancé goes up in flames, Rachel Fortier sets their furniture and exercise equipment on fire. Then she heads south in a rented red pickup truck with a vanity license plate reading "Redhot" and a bumper sticker reading "Decorators do it better". Rachel looks forward to meeting her birth grandmother Gizelle and enjoying some down time. Rachel expects Tara, she gets swamp and a Voodoo grandmother who does not approve of her new love interest. His face disfigured during Desert Storm, pilot Remy LeDeux expects rejection, not the heated response of this Yankee woman. Remy needs to buy some of Gizelle's adjoining land so he has enough acreage to meet DEA requirements so he can do aerial surveillance for the government. Instead, all he can think about is Rachel applying Feng Shui to his houseboat in the bayou, thanks to his Tante Lulu's interference. The explosive heat building between Remy and Rachel threatens to set the bayou ablaze, but they really know very little about each other, and their erotic promise may reach an unexpected peak as they discover the magic of the bayou. From senior citizen diva Tante Lulu to local Voodoo witch Gizelle, author Sandra Hill creates a rich cast of characters guaranteed to entertain in TALL, DARK AND CAJUN. Outrageous antics and lively hilarity keeps the pace brisk as Remy and Rachel discover the heat of the Louisiana bayou. Author Hill has a gift for combining humor and sensitivity in a rich tale that will keep the pages turning. While TALL, DARK AND CAJUN is the sequel of LOVE POTION, it works just as well as a standalone. With a rich Cajun flavor adding just the right zest, TALL, DARK AND CAJUN comes highly recommended.

Summary: WHOO-EE! This Book is Hot
Review: When Rachel Fortier finds out her fiancé has just had a vasectomy without telling her, she is devastated. She doesn't know if she wants children but he took the decision away from her and lied by omission to her. Her fiancé is a Washington DC plastic surgeon that is obsessed with Rachel having the perfect body so for each holiday, including Valentine's Day; he buys her exercise equipment, what a guy. Rachel breaks her engagement by having a bonfire with all the exercise equipment and about half of their apartment's furniture. She then heads to Louisiana to meet her grandmother and cousin who she just recently found out about. Rachel has visions of her grandmother living on a sugar plantation similar to Tara but a little smaller. What she discovers is a backwoods cabin with animal skins drying in the yard; a shotgun-toting granny with long scraggly hair and a plug of tobacco in one cheek; and a cousin who could be the poster boy for Mullets-Are-Us. Although a bit shocked, Rachel does her best to get to know her family and never looks down her nose at them. Rachel also discovers Remy LeDeux and whoo-ee, it's lust at first sight. Remy is a helicopter pilot who was shot down during Desert Storm and is badly scarred on his face and body. For the past ten years, Remy has been going through the motions but not really living. He has just decided to make use of his life and wants to pilot for the DEA and help stop drugs coming into the bayou. The DEA however requires that he have a larger landing pad for his copter so he goes to see Rachel's grandmother to try to buy some of her land. When Remy sets eyes on Rachel, she immediately becomes all he thinks about. This book was great, I highly recommend it. The story line held my interest from the first page. There was tons of humor with Rachel being a fish out of water in the bayou. The relationship that Rachel develops with her cousin and grandmother is touching. Remy is a good man who has suffered a lot both physically and mentally from his injuries. Rachel is able to see beyond the scars begins falling for Remy. The secondary characters were great, I can't wait to read more about them in upcoming books.
