"In the murky depths of Louisiana's bayous, a traditional Cajun duel known as a Bat-tie transforms Nitro's destiny."

Nitro finds himself in the arms of disaster after a ferocious attack from a swarm of bats, all in the name of utilizing the creatures for the Bayou Bishops' army.

Rescued by Lesion, the community's esteemed alchemist, a formula designed to assist Nitro in his bat recruiting is created that leads to more interesting disasters.

Meanwhile, as the Bayou Bishops seek out a mole among them, 8-bit, one of The Twelve, uses his techno skills and algorithms to select a wife who he's confident will provide him with the perfect, drama free arrangement.

There will never be a dull moment in the bayou as mysteries unfurl and war looms on the horizon-- along with rare, off-season hurricanes-- bringing peril and forcing choices that will alter the course of their lives.

I’m a husband and author, and I may be a little religious about both. I like writing hot sex and encapsulating it in the delicate white silk of devotion, commitment, and psychotic obsession.

It's going to take a minute for my heart to slow down.

It's here! We've been waiting on 'Nitro', book ten of Lucian Bane's "Bayou Bishops" series and he delivered. Boy, did he deliver? There is so much going on with such intensity I can't begin to give even a small synopsis. What I can tell you is if you've been following this series, this one is a MUST READ. I can't wait to delve into 8-bit next to see what that storyline brings. Congratulations Lucian for another epic installment from a stellar series.

Things are getting good. Nitro is healing from the bats attacking him. With the war coming and the mole still in their mist its anyone's guess who it is. 8-Bit thinks he can get married and not have a connection to his wife, Catherine. I'm sure that's going to work out just fine for him, "I said sarcastically. Cat/Catherine thinks the same, though. I wonder who breaks first, or should I say, falls first. I'm thinking 8-Bit, but I could be wrong. We'll have to wait and see. Because of the bats biting Nitro, Felix had to give him a shot of something Lesion made. Nitro went bat crap crazy, pun intended. What the heck is happening with him?? That's going to be interesting, I'm sure. Then 8-Bit tells Eveque something about the mole and holy shit if that's true, I can't wait for the fall out from it. Then, of course, we have that flipping cliffhanger. WTF, no, please no. I'm so hoping that's not true.
I'm so glad I don't have to wait for the next book.

The Saga continues….and OMG the ending.

Book 10. This might be the best one yet…. The action. The drama. The spice!!! And the ending….I need everyone to hurry and read this book so I won’t be alone in my feelings!!!

Mr Bane, I salute you.

I don’t know how he keeps all these characters around and relevant to all the new intros of new characters, but I’ve learned not to question, only bask in the glorious flow.

I love that there is no end in site for this series and yet doesn’t leave you saying…enough already. Only give us more!!!! 8-Bit you’re next.

OH My Goodness. This book was so good and very hard to put down. All of the characters in the Bayou are always very interesting and you can't help to fall in love with them. Niro's book will keep you laughing and on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for the next installment of the Bayou Bishops because my man 8-Bit is next. Thank you so much Lucian Bane for living your dream as an author an writing for us.

Nitro, Bayou Bishops Book 10, Lucian Bane

After a rehash of the later part of the bat Madison's tale, Mirrors story seems to be more about 8-bit and CST than it does about Nitro and Felix. One can only hope that 8-bit's story will have more Nitro in it, because it feels like Nitrous tale hasn't even been explored. Still a good read worth taking. Hopefully the next book won't cover so much of the previous book like this one did.

Wow!!! I don’t even know where to begin to say how good this book is. If you haven’t began this series, what are you doing in life!! These books are brought to life by Mr Bane’s very descriptive writing style. His use of accurate Cajun and bayou living brings you right in the middle of a world that is alive and vibrant and full of whew heat!! I highly recommend this entire series so far!! Nitro is just another installment of such a thrilling series. Go get ya some of those bayou hotties fas fas you will not regret it!!

intense book

I loved this book. It was intense, and yet occasionally funny. The way the men react to, and interact with, their chosen women, is funny, sweet, and sexy. Lucian Bane is an excellent author. He brings the characters to life, and makes it very easy to become invested in them. I cannot recommend this book, and the whole series, highly enough. It’s a great series from a great author. Step into the swamp, buckle up, and prepare for a wild ride.

Holy poop!!

Lucian Bane wrote one heck of a story! Adventure, spice, drama, humor it's all in there! I loved this book and am glad I already have the next book in the series because that was quite the cliffhanger. He's so good cliffhangers. Read this book; in fact read the whole Bayou Bishops series.

intense love and semi war

8 bit meets Cat and starts his little play for marriage while Felix and Nitro have their bat-tie and nitro is hit by her bats. Lesion patches him up and a serum is given to him and it works way too well.

Talk about a cliffhanger, this book kind of blasted me backwards with that ending. Now I have to rush to get to the next book so I can see what’s going to happen. This author is phenomenal and I’m loving this series.

Again, I'm left feeling like this is just a section of the book. Ugh... Really, I shall leave my review until I finish the series, or however far I get in case it isn't complete.
