Kiss My Giraffe (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild): a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers small town rom com

I’ve been so looking forward to Fiona and Knox’s story and Ms Nicholas did not disappoint.This pair have awesome chemistry and have been circling each other for a good while now so the depth of feelings that they both had for the other was understandable and awesome; until a few big truths came out and then I wasn’t sure they were gonna make it!!!!Fiona has the biggest heart, doesn’t think about herself nearly enough and will always do what she thinks is the right thing, even if it’s not the right thing for her!!Knox, oh man, that big growly town manager has a squishy heart of gold, which we see throughout KMG. He had a pretty set idea of how his relationship with Fiona should go but I was rooting for him to get his head out of his backside and for him to see himself as she did….. that’ll all make sense when you read their story.I adore this series, the Landry’s were as involved as they always are, there were surprises and secrets revealed and a lot of the craziness we’ve come to expect with our trips to Autre. Erin had me a little all over the place with this story but it was THE BEST WAY to end the BotBGW series….. and FINALLY we got to find out Knox’s first name… that was fun!!!!!I am now impatiently waiting to meet some of the other Landry cousins in Erin’s next spin off series….

If you are like me and like to immerse yourself in another area and get hooked on the life of not only the main characters but the supporting cast I highly recommend this book. Erin has a way if drawing you in and you get lost in the Bayou. You laugh, cry and shout as you go wanting everyone to get thier happy ever after. Wss totally worth losing sleep to read.

Two things I love in a book are slow burn and a grumpy hero. As the last book in the series (although each is a stand alone) Knox and Fiona’s story has been the ultimate slow burn, and Knox really is a grumpy guy, so I’m happy! Written with Erin Nicholas’s trademark humour, heat and insights this is a wonderful world to lose oneself in. Enjoy!

But I am looking forward to Erin's new series Badges Of The Bayou.

Loved this new book in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series as Fiona and Knox, after what seems like an interminable age of flirtation, finally give into their mutual attraction and let their chemistry flare. They are complete polar opposites, Knox comes across as being so anal and precise in everything he does but has a centre as soft as a marshmallow and Fiona who lets her heart guide her especially when it comes to the protection of any animal. Right now though her heart has led her right next door to Knox and while he was happy enough for them to hook up whenever she was passing through town, a full on relationship was the last thing he was looking for. This and the two rather large and life changing secrets she’s been keeping has thrown Knox’s ‘friends with benefits’ plans into chaos. With a fantastic hero and heroine with great chemistry and the pure pleasure of catching up with the lives of characters from previous books this book was a great way spend a rainy afternoon. Throw in some cute animals ranging from otters and fennec foxes to the more exotic wombats and giraffes and Kiss My Giraffe was a fantastic finale to what has been an enjoyable romcom series.

I have been waiting for this since Knox and Fiona had their first exchange in Ellie's in the first book of the series. It has been so, so worth the wait, I absolutely could not put this book down. Fiona is sassy and fiesty and still so completely full of surprises and mystery, whilst Knox is every bit as grumpy and broody as I expected with a secret squishy side and I am so here for all of it!At the heart of this book, as always, is Autre. Every visit to Autre just feels like coming home, being wrapped in a warm blanket and given a hot chocolate, and this time was no different. I wish I could dive in and live there forever.
