Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild #3
Flipping Love You
He’s the tattooed bad boy her mama warned her about.
She’s his hot mess — but mostly hot — next door neighbor.
Until a two-night-stand gives them the surprise of a lifetime...
Jillian Morris is a workaholic who forgets to watch the time. And to eat. And to change her shoes. And to keep even a house-plant alive. And to have any kind of a personal life.
Now an eccentric millionaire has left her eight million dollars. And eight penguins. Yes, real live penguins. She’s a wildlife vet who specializes in penguins, so that makes sense. Kind of. She can, and does, keep penguins alive and well. She now just has to move them cross-country to her friend’s new animal park.
So if anyone deserves a one-night (or two) stand with a hot, younger, tattooed bad boy on a motorcycle, it’s her. Or so Jill tells herself when Zeke Landry flips his bike in front of her motel and she stitches him up.
If only she’d known who he really was.
And that he was the fall-hard-and-fast type.
And the protective type.
And that one night would turn into more like nine-months of being... sigh... very personal.

February 22, 2022Flipping Love You is here!!! I hope you all love Zeke and Jillian's story!!! xoxox
Jill was such a fun addition to the Bayou... so different from the other girls and just exactly what Zeke, the baby of the family, needs! I've known her for awhile since I first met her back when I wrote Diamonds and Dirt Roads (book one of the Billionaires in Blue Jeans series! She was a secondary character in that book that I've never forgotten! And yes, my obsession for penguins goes waaaaay back ;) ) It was so fun getting to really know her and to give her her own HEA!
And Zeke...I knew the second I really met him in Four Weddings and a Swamp Boat Tour that I was going to have fun turning his life upside down ;)
Oh... and if you LOVE seeing past characters from other series make cameo appearances in new books, you are going to FLIP ( LOL! ) for this book! (if you don't love that...I'm *a little* sorry...but I had so much fun doing it I can't be too apologetic! And I promise, it will just seem like a big, crowded afternoon at Ellie's really, and that's nothing new!)
I hope you've grabbed Flipping Love You and are ready for another crazy, fun, hot, fun, wild time...and did I mention fun?... on the bayou!

All the fun. All the flippers! All the feels!!
FLIPPING LOVE YOU is the third in Erin Nicholas’s Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series, and it is full of the best of Ms Nicholas’s signature writing.
What happens when a self-described workaholic meets a self-acknowledged spoiled playboy/mama’s boy? Sparks fly even though fur (thankfully) doesn’t!
Dr Jillian Morris is new to town, along with her eight flippered friends. Zeke Landry is quite the welcoming committee! And these two’s worlds collide, bringing heat, heart, and mayhem…. You can’t expect anything less when Landrys are involved!
Truly, Erin Nicholas’s latest is not to be missed. Ms Nicholas deftly handles Jill and Zeke’s joyful and trepidatious tumble into a relationship with sensitivity and humor. While penguins might fall out of the realm of most readers’ personal experiences, Zeke and Jill’s concerns do not. And their friends and families show their loving support with wisdom, hugs, and sometimes a much-needed slap to the noggin, much to our delight.
Flipping Love You can stand alone, but do yourself a favor and read this series in order—the community is all the richer for the history they all share, and you’ll love each visit!

Penguins in Autre? Yes, please! Zeke is a fun guy. He has few adult responsibilities (I mean, who wouldn't want their mom to do their laundry??) and yet, he has a thriving construction business and helps build enclosures for his cousins at Gone Wild. Jill is a highly responsible vet, specifically to penguins. Even more specific, endangered penguins that she is moving to Autre. When the two of them meet on the side of the road (literally) they have a one-night stand that is super hot. When they realize that the two of them live next door to each other, they agree to a friends with benefits scenario. But you know those Autre boys don't go away so easily. Jill soon finds herself falling for the long haired, tattooed sweetheart and they spend more and more time together. But life has a way of laughing at the things you think you want and throwing you a curve ball or two.
Flipping Love You is a great addition to the Gone Wild series and will leave you even more in love with the Landry family (Is that even possible??) and wishing the Autre was real!

This is third in a series and the couples from other books (and other series) are prevalent in this one. I recommend reading in order, but you don't really have to. This one even has a couple scenes with families from Nicholas's Boys of the Big Easy who play an important role in Jill's growth. So it's nice knowing them from their own stories. If that kind of thing annoys you, then know that going in.
Zeke should have annoyed me a lot. He's the baby of his generation and is used to leaning on family for things like food and laundry. It'd be completely annoying if he wasn't the one everyone turns to for building things right. But he isn't exploiterish at all and he's got a huge heart and embraces being embedded in his community and provides support and love unflinchingly. And that's always going to endear me. Plus, when you see him go all math nerd with the family business accounting and whip out that CPA ("because it's fun") I drooled, just a little.
And I really liked getting to know Jill. She's got a unique blend of focused and casual. Her life is devoted to her passion (penguins) and everything else is targeted at being as low-maintenance as possible. So she eats the same sandwiches and vegetable shake every day and wears the same kind of clothes and just accepts that she's going to miss things like appointments and birthdays because she's so focused. This casual attitude includes relationships and I kind of liked how matter-of-fact she is about it. She knows herself and leans into her choices and that was engaging even as it bumped up against Zeke.
And I really liked how they worked out their relationship. I liked that he gave her space when she asked for it, even though it was hard for him. Better, he used his community knowledge to see that she got the space from them that she needed to get her penguins settled into their new home. But the best part was seeing him take on the provider role. Non-traditionally, of course, because she has money. His "provider" was things like stocking the simple needs of her routine and putting some nice shoes in his truck because she'd forget her work boots weren't going to be appropriate for things she wanted to do after work sometimes. He's thoughtful and caring and that is so my jam.
I was caught by two surprises that worked out. Mostly. One was the age gap I didn't see coming. Each assumes the other is "about thirty", but Zeke is twenty-five and Jill thirty-four. So this is edge of the squick formula* stuff and with the older woman at that. It totally works because they aren't wrong in their assessment of each other. In his environment, Zeke is a mature and settled guy who knows what he wants and is prepared for his future. Jill has avoided complexity long enough that she still has a growth arc to master and seeing her do so was very rewarding. Having it all be no big deal once discovered was kind of brilliant by the author, actually.
The accidental pregnancy caught me off guard, even though it's in the blurb. I think Nicholas played a bit loose with Jill's response, here. A pregnancy is so far outside her regulated plans that I just didn't see her going through with it. Not without some serious coaxing and/or argument. It seemed out of character how willing she was to lean on Zeke's response and go with that. They just weren't in a place, yet, were his opinion should have weighed as much as it did. I'm happy with how it turned out, but there were a couple of chapters where I just had to go with it as stated.
Anyway, small niggle about Jill's motivations aside, I was fully engaged and absolutely entertained. So it's an easy five stars. I do hate the author's use of Epilogues as next couple introduction, though. This is not what romance epilogues are for. I toyed with dinging the rating in my irritation, but that's not really fair. So I'm calling it out here, instead.
A note about Steamy: There are two explicit sex scenes and they are long and involved so this is the middle of my steam tolerance. A lot of character establishment happens in these scenes, so I think they're absolutely necessary as this is where we see the intersection of much of Jill's compartmentalized personality; an absolutely frank realism, pared-down simplicity, and a bit of a sense of fun.
* Squick Formula: The formula is oldest age divided by two and add seven. It's a good-enough measure that breaks down on the far end but is mostly useful, otherwise. So for this one, you have Jill at 34 / 2 = 17 add 7 = 24. So Zeke's 25 is right on the edge.

You’re probably sick of hearing me say it, but I love this loud, crazy, loving Landry clan! It's always a hilarious, heartfelt treat to return to this unique, outrageous book world that, every time, feels like coming home.
Zeke and Jill meet by accident. An accident involving motorcycles, goats, a misguided but well-meaning border collie, and an fire fighter friend who quietly heckles as well as he rescues. There may also be some mutual human comforting a little later the same evening. Zeke realizes the unique, adorable woman is staying at the local motel, so she's just passing through. Exactly how he likes his varied, short-term, night-time entertainment.
Zeke Landry is the baby of his generation of Landrys, and he embraces that distinction. He's a responsible owner of his own successful construction company and likes nothing more than turning a house into a home, but people in his family doing things for him? Yeah, that never gets old.
Dr. Jillian Morris is an expert at one thing: penguins. Her entire focus is penguins, to the detriment of balanced meals, clean laundry, keeping appointments, and everything else. When she brings her Galapagos penguins to BOTBGW animal park in Autre, LA, she's focused solely on the new enclosure being built for them, completely neglecting the much-needed renovations on the house she's purchased.
One night turns into friends with bennies, which turns into, holy flippers, these two can’t even feed themselves, so how will they be ready for their surprise in nine months?! But have no fears. The Landrys are on the scene and do what they do best. Interfere, love unconditionally, and always have each others' backs.
I love all of these Landry books, but this one is especially touching. What's not to love about an awkward but brilliant shero and a happy-go-lucky hero learning, growing together, and becoming stronger as a team than they'd ever be apart?
This amazing family will wrap their arms around you making you feel like part of them and their story. You'll laugh until your side hurts, have your heart stolen and left permanently changed, and finish this story with a grin on your face and the happiest of sighs you'll feel down to your soul. Don’t miss this chance to visit Autre, LA. I guarantee, once you’ve been to the bayou, you'll never want to leave!

Did someone crank up the heat? I need to jump in with the adorable penguins and cool off because I am head over tail in love with Flipping Love You!
Holy hotness! Get your fan's at the ready and make sure you have an ice cold beverage when you sit down to read this book! Zeke and Jill are beyond hot. They are Louisiana summer hot!! It's a good thing the penguins that Jill takes care of enjoy the warm weather because they upped the steam in Autre. Am I getting my point across yet?😉
Zeke Landry has always enjoyed the ladies and the ladies enjoyed him, but when he meets Jill Morris she is unlike any other woman he's ever met. Not only is she the lowest maintenance woman he's come across, but he soon learns that she cares more about, not just animals, but penguins in particular more than people. She is such a workaholic that she forgets about things like eating, doing laundry, people's birthdays, basically all of those small things that eventually lead to big things that have ended any kind of relationship she's ever tried to have in the past.
Jill prefers to keep things simple, like friends-with-benefits, which she knew moving to Louisiana she'd have to find a new "friend", so when hot, tattooed Zeke just so happens to have an accident in front of her motel the first night she's in town, she invites him back to her room. She isn't shy in asking for what she wants and Zeke loves the fresh, honest approach, another thing to add to his growing list of what makes her unique. Every moment they spend together only grows his fascination and when one of those moments accidentally causes their friends-with-benefits to be a bit more permanent...well, Zeke isn't exactly upset about that prospect.
My favorite parts, aside from the honesty and frank openness between Zeke and Jill, was truly in the sweet moments when they realized that when you find the person you love you become a better version of yourself. Neither Jill nor Zeke were bad people before meeting one another, but when they accidently fall, they also accidentally became better versions of the awesome people they already were. I'll let you discover what that truly means, but just know it truly made me smile every single time it happened in this book.
My other favorite part is Ellie's definition of having children. "They are like a hurricane". I've never heard something more perfectly accurate in all of my life. This entire scene between Ellie and Jill, well actually with the entire family, is really the best.
How Erin keeps topping these wild boys of the bayou I don't know, but she does and Flipping Love You is everything cute, fun, and totally hot to add to this amazing series!

Jillian Morris is a wildlife veterinarian whose life is all about penguins, Galapagos Island penguins to be exact. When she inherits eight Galapagos penguins and millions of dollars to take care of them she seeks out her friend, wildlife vet Griffin Foster in Autre, Louisiana. She arranges to have a penguin habitat for her penguins to be built there as part of the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild's animal sanctuary. Jill's penguins are part of a special conservation program to encourage procreation for this endangered species in a domesticated environment. Her first night in Autre Jill meets a rough-looking yet super-sexy-looking guy who wipes out his motorcycle to avoid hitting a runaway goat. She couldn't believe she agreed to a one-night stand with the guy. That's not anything like her but that was one hot night. What a surprise it turned out to be that her one-night stand was her next-door neighbor in the house she had purchased in Autre, Zeke Landry. Maybe penguins weren't all there was to life...
Zeke Landry owns his own construction company in Autre, Louisiana. He is Johnny-on-the-spot when his skills are needed. He and his employees have built most of the habitats at Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild. As the baby of the Landry family Zeke is pretty spoiled, even at the age of twenty-five. His mom does his laundry most of the time and he never has to cook for himself. Yep! Pretty spoiled. When he meets Jill Morris something changes for him. The guy who enjoys being taken care of feels a need to take care of Jill. He likes her penguins and falls in love with her. With an impending third party about to join Jill and Zeke's relationship life couldn't get any better as far as Zeke is concerned.
Flipping Love You by Erin Nicholas is the third book in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series. I love all the Landrys. This family is so much fun. It's been great getting to read about all the love matches and their bayou tours and petting z00/animal sanctuary. A surprise bonus in this book is the appearance of some of the families from Boys of the Big Easy. Looks like some of the Autre moms/moms-to-be will be heading to New Orleans for a moms group and I hope Zeke heads there to for the guy's erotic book club. I totally enjoy Ms. Nicholas' writing style, fun dialogue and humor. This was a fantastic read.
Do you believe career choices are easy to make?
I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Delightful! This book is absolutely delightful. Funny, steamy, amazing banter, lots of Landrys...and penguins! So many penguins. Flipping Love You is a must read.
Dr. Jill Morris cares about one thing in life: her penguins. Eating, sleeping and interacting with other people come in a distant second to taking care of her birds. When she inherits 8 of them, she jumps at the chance to move them to Autre and Boys Gone Wild. Zeke Landry is swoony, sexy and sweet. The youngest Landry cousin doesn't worry about much in life, so when he falls (literally) at the feet of the most beautiful woman he has ever met he jumps at the chance for a one night stand. Once they figure out they are working together...and neighbors...things get even more interesting. Jill doesn't do relationships but she's never been in a relationship with a Landry!
I loved everything about this book. Jill is such a unique heroine. She is totally dedicated to her work, knows her strengths (the penguins) and her weaknesses (remembering everything else) and is totally honest about it. Zeke fell hard for the quirky scientist and turned out to be one of the sweetest Landry boys so far! Plus we get more animals, more Ellie, and some very special surprises. My advice: Stop reading reviews and start reading Flipping Love You! :)

Zeke fell hard for the quirky scientist and turned out to be one of the sweetest Landry boys so far! Plus we get more animals, more Ellie, and some very special surprises. My advice: Stop reading reviews and start reading Flipping Love You! :)

Flipping Love You had some extremely relatable characters. Zeke is the baby of the family and fully embraces it. Oh, my mom wants to do my laundry? Yes, please, in what universe would I ever say no to that? And Jill is super focused on her work. Her life revolves around penguins…and that’s it.
The way these two crash together is fantastic. It starts as one fun night together until they realize something more happened between them. Flipping Love You was a great combo of hot and steamy with emotional growth. Jill learns how to accept help and rely on someone else, and Zeke learns how to be someone else’s support.
Flipping Love You was sweet and hot and sexy. I love the Landrys and how supportive they always are to everyone. And how can I forget the penguins? Another great read visiting Autre, LA and the crew!

Things are heating up for the youngest Landry, Zeke, when Dr. Jill comes to town with her penguins…the newest additions to the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild animal park/petting zoo. I’ll admit these two had me smiling from their first sassy encounter, but they also made me scratch my head. They seemed very similar to each other…and isn’t it opposites that attract?
I then realized that they were more like puzzle pieces…and they fit together perfectly. While Zeke grew up with others doing things for him, he was learning what Jill needed and took care of her. And Jill found someone who not only understood her passion and all-encompassing dedication to her penguins, but also listened and learned about them.
Naturally, their physical chemistry was off the charts…after all, Zeke is a hot, tatted, Cajun man, but like every other Landry male, his personality is really the sexiest thing about him. Okay, so it’s the total package! And Jill is awkwardly adorable, focused and quite blunt in what she wants. I like that in a female lead.
As always, I love the plethora of Landry kin who are weaved into these books! And a visit from the Trahan family is another welcome addition. Sweet, funny and very sexy, I flipping loved Jill and Zeke!

5 star review Flipping Love You (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild #3) by Erin Nicholas
This is the third book in Erin Nicholas’s latest series and I was hooked to the story she wove about Jillian Morris and Zeke Landry. Jillian is a workaholic wildlife vet who never makes time for herself.
Meeting the hot and tattooed Zeke she is up for a nigh of fun and passion. However fate works in mysterious ways and they soon find themselves neighbours. Could a friends with benefits relationship be in the cards?
I really liked both Jillian and Zeke, she is so much fun and I can easily see her as a friend. It was heart warming to watch their friendship turn into an intense, passionate lasting love.
I love my visits to Autre, add in some Penguins and the crazy Landry family and you just know that there will be some laugh out loud moments that nearly had me in tears.

What a fantastic, sweet, steamy and fun book to read! I keep thinking that Erin can't possibly top the previous Bayou Boy but she does it every time. The first few chapters almost melted my e-reader but the rest of the book melted my heart. Zeke and Jill are so much fun--their banter, their eternal thoughts and their connection is so seamless and real. If you need to smile and an escape this book is one to grab. Enjoy!!

Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild is such a fun series. Flipping Love You, is the story of Zeke Landry and Jillian Morris. From the moment Zeke flipped his bike in front of Jill’s motel, there was instant sparks. They may start off as friends with benefits, but it quickly turns into much more for both and I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. Jill is a wildlife vet. She works hard, she is intelligent, loyal and has a huge heart. Zeke is in the carpenter. He is a tattooed bad boy and used to playing the field with women. I adored Zeke and watching him fall for Jill. She quickly tames his player ways and become a sweet, protective, adoring guy.
The story it’s filled with plenty of laughter, hilarious shenanigans among the Landry family, lots of penguins and lots of sexy times. If you like your romance set in a small town with an overbearing family, lots of giggles and steamy chemistry this is the book to check out!
The audiobook narrators are Virginia Rose and Evan Henderson with a special appearances from Jason Clarke and Zara Eden. Evan and Virginia are fantastic story tellers. I adored their vocal chemistry and the way they brought this story and characters to life.

Penguin fun in the Bayou. Jill is not the best with people but great with her animals and likes to keep thing simple. Zeke is the baby of the family and use to people taking care of him but has now found someone he wants to take care of. If you are looking for a fun read with plenty of humor, heart, heat, and family this is for you. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
June 29, 2021
Zeke is a laid back kind of guy. When it comes to his work, he's totally not but in his everyday life, he knows if he doesn't do it, someone else will. He's the baby of all the grandkids that live in Autre and he definitely knows how to take advantage of that.
Jill is very focused. She is the penguin specialist and that's her life. Her inheritance from a wealthy patron of her old zoo places eight penguins not only in her care but she now owns them. There are endangered and she is now tasked with breeding them to propagate the species. That's a lot of pressure for her since she is now known as the expert in the program. If she can't make this happen, what future would they have? Jill makes her life simple by not ignoring others but others definitely have their own boxes in her life. Moving to Autre makes it easier and simpler for her to concentrate on just the penguins. Until Zeke crashes his bike in front of her. Well, really until she decides to move to Autre. Nothing is simple in Autre.
I can relate to Jill. Her upbringing showed her how she didn't want to live her life and how she needed to prioritize what she wanted in her career and family life. The motivation is good but flawed. Life never happens the way we expect. Zeke proves that over and over. He's just supposed to be a once a month booty call but he gets to her in a way she can't ignore. He has more personality than she's used to in her relationships. AND he's truly interested in what she's doing with the penguins. Nobody has ever been that interested. Zeke is adorable and sexy and swoony and just perfect. Well, maybe not totally perfect. He is trouble in the best way. The way he infiltrates Jill's life is awesome. He really likes her and wants to know more about her. I love the way he gives her space but takes care of her needs anyway.
I want to say so much more about these two but I can't give everything away. Just know that their journey is so worth the time to visit the Bayou.

Erin Nicholas writes the most loveable couples ever! With each book I don't think I can like a pair any more and then Nicholas changes my mind every single time. I love how her characters always bring changes in each other that make them stronger together than they were when apart.
In Flipping Love You, Zeke has basically let his family take care of all the details in his life that he doesn't want to be bothered with. Jill is so determined not to become obsessed with domestic details like her mom was, that she can't even be bothered to fix food. When the two come together in a "not- so-successful" one night stand, there are big changes ahead for them both.
A wonderfully steamy yet achingly heart warming story of attraction, caring, support, romance and of course, the loving and wonderfully nosy Landry family. Another Nicholas hit!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

This series is so amazing and just so much fun! I love how Erin connects the people from her other series because then we get to check in with them too. I absolutely adore Zeke Landry and love him with Jillian so much!! Love how things happen so organically with them and love the progression of their relationship throughout the book. They really just make me smile. I love how Zeke develops the same passion for the penguins that Jill has. It’s so sweet.
I loved everything about this book from beginning to end and can’t wait for what comes next!

Zeke is the baby Landry sibling, so he's never had to worry much about responsibility. Oh sure, he's an adult and runs his own construction business, owns a home, but his whole family has always taken care of him, from doing his laundry to cooking his meals for him. Then he meets a very interesting, but very different, woman who doesn't seem interested in him at all aside from manipulating him into herding the goats back to their home. When she ends up proposing a friends with benefits situation to him for the duration of her stay in Autre, and um...things...happen, suddenly Zeke will end up being a caretaker instead of the one being taken care of. How will this sudden change be handled? Not just by Zeke, but by Jill, too?
Jill can barely remember to eat, she only cares about her penguins, and now she's got this gorgeous, younger, man wanting to take care of her. Will she let him or push him away like she's always done?
Penguins! A sweet, hot guy learning to take care of others instead of letting them take care of him, a woman learning to let go and allow someone to take care of her. A wonderful recipe for another sexy, funny, and sweet rom com with my favorite bayou clan. I adored Zeke and Jill together. They don't seem like a good match on paper, but were actually perfect for each other as they grew, adapted, and fell in love. Now I'm all excited for Naomi to finally get her story!

I was up til 2am reading this because I COULDNT PUT IT DOWN!! This book has everything, family, friends, a loving couple and even a runaway peguin!
Zeke is totally swoony and Jill is completely kick ass! I love this couple, so opposite of each other yet so similar too. Jill is so real and I love that she acknowledges her fears and anxiety. Zeke is so…*sigh*…Zeke, he becomes a different person right before our eyes and I don’t think even he realizes it.
I just love the Landrys as a unit but meeting these smaller individual sections of the family is so great. Erin Nicholas does a remarkable job at making EVERY character incredibly different yet fit in this loud, loving, quirky, amazing family. Zeke and Jill are no different.

I flipping loved Erin Nicholas’ Flipping Love You; a quirky, smart, uptight but a bit sassy heroine, a loyal, fun loving, tattooed Mama’s boy with a heart of gold, one wayward goat, one wrecked motorcycle, 8 penguins, a crazy Cajun family, and BAM – a surprise pregnancy. It sounds like an episode of Maury doesn’t it? But, in reality it is a sweet, fun, and sexy romance that was a complete joy to read.
When Jillian Morris was notified the sweet man that visited her and her penguins at the Omaha zoo every Thursday at feeding time was an eccentric billionaire and had left her 8 endangered penguins and billions of dollars to build them a habitat, take care of them for life, and a salary for doing so she realized her childhood dream had finally come true. Sure she didn’t expect that dream to be in the small town of Autre, Louisiana but one of her good friends from veterinarian school had relocated there and they had the space at their animal park she needed for her penguins and she had the means to make it happen and she trusted Griffin to back her up when needed, she also didn’t expect the sexy tatted biker to rock her world in more way than one.
Zeke Landry will be the first person to tell you he’s spoiled and has people all over town willing to do things for him if he needs them to. As the baby of a very, very large family he’s never really had to learn to do things most people is age know how to do, like cook, clean, do laundry, grocery shop pretty much everything. He owns a successful construction company and he’s a CPA to boot, but life skills well, not so much. He’s not lazy, he just has people who enjoy doing things for him and then he meets Jill and he realizes he WANTS to be the only one to do things for her.
I loved these two because in some ways they were so different and in other ways they were very much alike. Jillian is hyper-focused on her work and everything else in her life suffers, with a mother who did everything for her Jill also never learned life skills but it doesn’t bother her. She is perfectly happy eating cereal and PB&J sandwiches and buying her clothes where they mix and match without a thought and only focusing on her penguins. Zeke has no problem finding food at his grandmother’s bar or from one of his cousin’s leftovers and while he tends to work long hours when needed, but Zeke needs time with his family and for fun. It was interesting watching Zeke learn that taking care of someone else made him feel good and happier than he’s ever been. Meanwhile Jillian can’t believe she’s found someone who loves listening to her talk about penguins, someone who takes time to research them and ask thoughtful questions and someone who wants to help her in all aspects of her life. Their chemistry was smoking hot, but it was their quiet moments getting to know one another that really made an impact on them and on me as a reader.
I loved the cameos of characters from the Boys of the Big Easy series and the Billionaires in Blue Jeans series. It was fun seeing them again and how their lives are going; such a bonus!!
I loved the ease of Flipping Love You, this couple didn’t have any big drama and they both showed great personal growth throughout. This story made me smile, it made me laugh, it made me sigh, and it flat out made me happy.

Flipping Love You by Erin Nicholas is the third book in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series and utterly charming and totally hilarious!
Jill is such a sweetheart! My heart melted with each and every interaction she has with anyone. So loving, so caring, so unaware of her own charms, so hyper focused on what she loves. Her brand of dedication and loyalty so endearing.
And UNF. Zeke is delectable from his very first appearance on the page! Attractive inside and out, a true Landry, and just a bit wicked! His fascination with the pretty vet that doesn't realize she's beautiful inside and out, well, that, and all the other crazy fun antics that ensue, are comedy and romance gold!
I loved how people having different ways of engaging and connecting is touched on, and how people can find ways to connect and be attached to each other, in ways that suit them. And the passion between Jill and Zeke? That CHEMISTRY is off the charts!
Jill's quirky nature constantly and continuously put a smile on my face. Their internal monologues kept me grinning and chuckling as I got to watch sparks fly and people fight against fate, fighting against and for their happiness, their truth. And Zeke? He has a mouth on him and he knows how to use it! GOODNESS GRACIOUS! And he uses it in the perfect way with Jill, coaxing her out of her shell, being there for her; their whole connection is just delightful!
The beauty in the unpredictable, in going with the flow, in rolling with the punches, in stopping to smell the roses, in living in the moment is so tactfully explored and presented and I just fell even more in love with these characters, this family, this town, this series. I know you will too!
This story made my heart smile, the hilarious antics, the loving camaraderie, the beautiful representation of family always being there for you! So, what are you waiting for, cher? Come fall in love with the Landrys and all their animals!
P. S. Everyone should love penguins!
P. P. S. Can't wait for Donovan and Naomi's story!

Opposites attract in another romance from Autre, Louisiana. And another lost sheep gets brought into the Landry fold. I’ve said it before with these Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild books; I love that not only is it a romance but that the whole family (and even town) is involved in these stories. I get attached to all the characters and so excited for the updates of previous stories as well as hints to future novels.
I also adore how Jill and Zeke work together. All the moments that Jill gets self-conscious about - for example, having the wrong shoes - Zeke anticipates and fills in, setting the right shoes exactly where she needs them. All the moments where Zeke would usually assume someone else will help, he instead grows to step in and take care of things himself - for Jill, the penguins, the town. They learn and grow and improve together and I love reading their relationship as it develops from one-night-stand to a whole lot more.
Minor spoiler that is heavily hinted in the summary ahead! I will admit, I’m not a fan of the accidental pregnancy trope in books. But this one is handled so uniquely and it’s not an out of the blue upheaval that is the climax of the story. And Zeke and Jill show again and again that they will be wonderful parents - I can’t wait to read about this new baby Landry in the future books! The big family element also ties in so sweetly here, and a whole support system is emphasized again and again for the expecting couple, not only in this but also every aspect of their lives.
There is so much I could rave about, but I do want readers to experience the book and Zeke and Jillian’s story on their own. So I’ll just say I flipping love it!!

First off, I will whine a bit; I missed the 2nd book in this series and somehow got to I Flipping Love You. I adored Otterly Irresistible it was funny, steamy and all the things. I began reading I Flipping Love You expecting more of the same but wondering if the steamy cuteness would carry on. On it carried on--it carried on so well.
Zeke and Jillian are very alike but different. They have similar behaviors but for other reasons. But what does work is their similarities are what makes them a great couple. How they discover these things and the changes it works in them as they fall in love is simply adorable. I loved their quirks and how they steer through their lives, really being content in who they are and how they handle things. As usual, Erin Nicholas has provided humor and an abundance of family love among the Landrys of Autre. Zeke's mother had me laughing so hard through this book, but what enchanted me more is the way the Landrys love family just as they are, quirks and all.
Jillian needed this as she had a skewed perception of herself and her capabilities beyond doing one thing. However, the one thing she did well is care for the penguins. And there is where the adorable factor comes into play for this book--the penguins. All of the animals brought to the petting zoo/wildlife sanctuary only add to the story's charm. I hope this series continues for some time; there are quite a few boys from Autre who haven't gotten their HEA yet. And I want to read each and every one.

I loved Flipping Love You! Jillian and Zeke are the absolute cutest couple and there are penguins!! Jillian just inherited 8 penguins, which works out well for this fiercely independent, penguin obsessed wildlife vet. She likes things simple because she spends all of her energy on penguins. When she relocates the penguins to Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild she meets Zeke, the baby of the Landry family. Zeke has always been taken care of, and assumes that any issues that ever come up will probably be handled by someone in the family. Jillian starts off thinking she's found a great new friend with benefits. After meeting Jillian, Zeke has found someone that he wants to take care of. And in taking care of Jillian he also teaches her what it means to ask for help and be a part of the Landry family. All in all this book starts off with some smoking hot nights where Jillian tells Zeke exactly what she wants but continues on to be a sweet romance about finding not only your 'person' but showing them how to be family.

I liked this book SO much! Anytime I read a story by author Erin Nicholas I have come to expect fun, family, and friends who become family. This book has all of that and more, much more! The cast of characters is so much fun. So many unique personalities. I loved the crossovers (so if you’ve read other series by this author, be ready for some appearances) yet this book can be read as a stand-alone. It’s just so much better knowing the backstories of some of the secondary characters. Zeke and Jill have so much to learn. Watching them unexpectedly (to them) build a relationship was entertaining. And of course, the penguins! Take a trip to Autre and enjoy the animal park and the Landrys.

So. Many. Feels! Zeke Landry is the baby of the family, and as such has few adult responsibilities whilst also running a successful business. Jill is a penguin expert who struggles to look after herself, or anything that isn't penguin. On paper, they should not work. In reality, they absolutely do. This book has so much humour, heat, and the Landry family interaction that its taken top spot out of all the Autre books for me. I already can't wait for my reread!

Gah!! I absolutely love the Landry's.
Zeke is the baby of the Landry boys and also an identical twin to his brother Zander. Zeke runs a construction company and is also a math need who takes care of his family's taxes. While helping to build animal shelters around the family animal park, he's actually working on the newest enclosure for a group of penguins that are soon coming. He knows the vet sent him all the required information for the enclosure but she's not very cooperative with the changes needed on the home he's rehabbing for her.
Then as Zeke is riding his motorcycle home one night he sees something small and dark dart across the road and he serves to miss it and runs his bike into a ditch next to the motel. He hears a soft voice asking if he's OK and calling him baby, then realizes the woman actually has a young goat in her arms and comforting it. He's shocked she's just ignoring him laying there.
When she turns to him he realizes she's stunning. And when Michael the town EMT shows up he makes sure Zeke is OK and when pushed away by Zeke he leaves. Zeke asks the lady for medicine and she grudgingly invites him to her room. Things get hot fast! He also finds out her name is Jill. The next morning she leaves him to sleep as she heads out to meet the contractor of her new penguin enclosure.
So stinking good! The characters in this story are a hoot! There is so much fun and verbal playing on words that will keep you going for days. Definitely read this series. It will be great for your heart! Enjoy
