It was ok although I found Aiden extremely frustrating. I'm not quite sure what the author was trying to achieve with her - at times she seemed very innocent and extremely weak but then at times the author seemed to be trying to make her a strong character. As for relationship with her parents and to a certain extent with her brothers - why she didn't just say to hell to them all I've no idea.
This was especially true towards the end - why she was going through with th A quick read through this. This was especially true towards the end - why she was going through with the marriage until the last minute I've no idea. And despite what Aiden kept on saying to herself I don't think she ever really stood up to her parents. Feb 05, Vivian rated it liked it Shelves: More than a few eye-rolling moments, but sweet.

But good things do happen. I a I got this book when it was offered as an Amazon freebie. I appreciated that Aiden stood on her own feet and was not dependant on her parents, but I was saddened that she felt she could never stand up to them and tell them how she really felt. Their disinterested attitude in their only daughter especially her mother made me angry, but some families do shun their daughters, and cherish their sons. Our couple meets by accident, develops a touching relationship, and has to fight through several misunderstandings, and family issues even an arranged engagement , and family betrayal just to be together.
The book had humor, tenderness, pain, and moments that made you just want to shake some of the characters.

If this is the case I really suggest the author make it more of a historical book yes I think the 90's might count or update it. If not I am left to only scratch my head at the cluelessness of the characters. I had an issue with the lack of back bone all around here.

From brothers that say they protect their sister but never except one small time tell their parents to knock off the aweful way they treat Aiden. Aiden who other then going to college has never really put her foot down. To James the sweet guy determined to save Aiden no matter how Aiden treats him, to Aiden's best friend who sees how Aiden treats James who she loves and doesn't nothing more then slap her hand.
Finally to Hot hero who is a complete Mama's boy and never questions anything she tells him, not to mention stays in an aweful marriage as to not embarrass her. Enter three parents all up for worst parents of the decade. All that being said I have read enough reviews on this author to know I want to give her another try, there was enough emotion and interest that I did finish the book and it gave me a glimpse of what this author can offer.
Listen to Fly now.
Perhaps I will really enjoy another of her books. This one just didn't do it for me. Mar 01, Tia rated it really liked it. Aiden decided to take a boat ride in the swamp, only to be in an accident and stranded. So she went to the closest island available, jumped over alligators and made her way to a little house. Quinten opened the door, thinking it was a reporter and found Aiden.
He told her she was a good faker and sh could sleep on his deck for all she cared. She said okay and passed out on his deck, almost half dead. When Quin found her, he was shocked by her injuries, he took care of her and nursed her back to h Aiden decided to take a boat ride in the swamp, only to be in an accident and stranded. When Quin found her, he was shocked by her injuries, he took care of her and nursed her back to health. When she left the next morning Quin was disappointed, being in love with her almost instantly, he hunted her down.
After a lot of commotion about Quin's past and a whole lot of confusion, Quin and Aiden tied the knot. It was pretty damn good. Just another simplistic love story but sometimes those are the best ones.

I can't stop saying how impressed I am with Kimberley Reeves! Jan 23, Bleumoon rated it really liked it. I must admit I found myself agreeing with another reviewer regarding the characters being "nitwits" when I started this book. Some of the story did seem a bit far fetched I would recommend this book. Feb 28, Neisha rated it it was amazing. Oct 28, Lorraine Lesar rated it liked it. A good Sunday afternoon read and it's free for Kindle readers from Amazon! Aiden is fed up with her domineering family and feels unloved, especially when informed of a arranged marriage - does that still happen?
Anyway, feeling angry, she storms off in her boat into the bayou. A storm sets in and see is in trouble! She ends up on Quin Hawke's doorstep and the story begins and you are in for a hot, hot ride! A short, hot read and recommended. Jun 05, Amy Pro rated it really liked it.

I thought this was a really good book. I enjoyed the story and the characters. There was a couple times I wanted to smack the both of them upside the head because of the way they were acting. But all in all Looking forward to reading more from this author. Apr 23, Rowan rated it really liked it. It would appear that Kimberley Reeves is consistent in her presentation of stories. I like this just as much as Blind Faith. I would recommend this one to anyone who likes love stories.
Be aware that it does have some graphic love scenes. Jan 11, vanessa kennedy rated it really liked it. Turely love This was a delightful read. The characters were blissfully engaging and the plot revolved around the ups and downs of family.
Wicked to wickeder and all stages in between. Never-the- less true love prevails. Jul 06, Jo Smith rated it it was amazing. I was completely captivated from the start with this brilliantly sexy romantic mystery that was so well written I just read it flat out without a pause! May 16, Rose rated it it was amazing. Nov 22, Lindsay marked it as kindle-i-own-to-read. Apr 29, Dena rated it really liked it.
The only thing I did not like was the scene and they spoke to one another in the beginning of the story. A little confusing a good read. Aug 17, Julie rated it it was amazing. I love anything in a bayou with a sexy Cajun. Write a customer review. Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Some spoilers in here! Ok this is my first Kimberley Reeves book so I have no idea if this is her norm or what, but I found this to be really frustrating to the point of screaming at my kindle app. She has basic writing skills - the sentences were smooth, no major grammatical errors, and the storyline if you overlook the plot issues I list below flowed nicely.
And the sex scenes were quite sexy! What I don't understand is why the characters acted so stupidly. The heroine, Aiden, is a 25 year-old woman who lives with? She goes out into the bayou, gets caught in a storm and meets the handsome and grumpy hero, Quin, who thinks she is there to spy on him. They then go on to act like they are in some parallel universe where normal rules of behavior don't apply. Want to know what someone's life has been like? Get a research lawyer instead to spy on them. Another astute reader wondered why none of the characters were employing google - I totally agree.

Also, as a grown woman, if your family is cruel to you and cuts you down, you should just continue to do whatever they say knowing it will never gain their approval because they don't actually love you. Sadly that part of the story rang slightly true because this rich girl was afraid she would be disinherited Seriously I forced myself to keep reading because I thought the end must be right around the corner it wasn't - this story is also waaaay to long for the thin plot and I just kept getting more annoyed at the stupid stupid stupid people in this book.
Sorry, I wanted to like it - the plot as advertised girl gets caught in a storm, must spend night in bed with sexy stranger sounded fun. It could have been so much more. Aiden's Bayou is a fun, relatively quick read. Good characterization throughout, with a couple of inconsistencies. Well-written, with few editable errors. For the most part, I love her brothers - I always wanted protective older brothers like these.
Her mother is a classy dame. Cold-hearted bitch, but classy. Her father is a slightly stereotypical Italian family man, who doesn't seem quite as smart about his daughter as he is about his business empire. Some things I noticed jumped out at me and made the story a little less great.
For those small things, I'm taking off a star. Keep in mind that I didn't really notice them until I was done with the story, so they certainly didn't detract from my reading pleasure. Any human being with even the tiniest bit of curiosity would probably have used the internet to find out what people were saying about them. I know that in Quin's situation, I most definitely would have.
Then again, if he had, the huge dustup with his mother wouldn't have been a plot point, and the story would have had less punch.
