What’s a girl to do when faced with a hurricane, her celebrity crush, and a power outage in their shelter?

Keep her damned feelings to herself. And her panties on…


Naomi LeClaire is just a small-town girl who loves her quiet, simple life.

Donovan Foster is a sexy, charming, wildlife rescuing internet sensation who loves the spotlight.

What do these opposites have in common?

Only an impossible-to-resist chemistry that, when they’re stuck together in a storm becomes, well, impossible to resist.

But the aftermath of the storm gives them something else in common—a rescue mission to help victims. Oh, and a heat-of-the-moment kiss caught on camera by the local paparazzi. Not to mention an offer for a reality TV show documenting them falling in love while saving animals from crazy, dangerous situations.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

This should be the last thing Naomi is willing to do. But he’s leaving in two months for his next job, so what’s the worst that could happen?

He’s either going to be her greatest adventure. Or this wild whirlwind romance will blow over faster than a Gulf Coast hurricane.

All she can really do is hold on tight . . . and hope her heart isn’t left in shambles.

Are you ready for a new trip to the bayou?!
I am! I can't wait to take you back to our favorite Louisiana town!

Naomi and Donovan's story was so much fun, you guys! This one has all the hot, sweet, fun romance you know you'll get when you open one of my books, but there's also a little action adventure thrown in this time! And if you don't know anything about the Cajun Navy... you're about to find out! ;)

Of course there's lots more laugh-out-loud moments, more Landry family dinners, more Ellie, more animals, more hot-sexy-swoony-falling-in-love, AND...

I've brought some old friends to the bayou this time! Dax, Ollie, Piper, Jane, and more of the gang from Appleby, Iowa and my Hot Cakes series make an appearance!! No worries if you haven't read that series-you won't be lost at all! But if you have, I think it will be fun for you to catch up with that group too! And hey, there's time for a quick re-read before Sealed With A Kiss is here ;) LOL!

I can't wait for you all to dive into this new story with me! I love every trip to Autre and hope you do too!

Be sure you've got it pre-ordered!
You can grab it right here at all retailers! (and yes, paperback and audio are both coming!)

I’m in love with this series! It’s laugh out loud hilarious, has amazing characters, sweet romances, cute & surprising wild animals & crazy wild antics! It makes for such a fun & entertaining read!

All the animal rescues Donovan & Naomi did were so interesting & I loved learning more about that. Plus I love getting to see all the other goofy & funny couples, the antics of this crew kill me every time! That scene at the jail had me giggling like crazy! Seriously such a fun series & I look forward to more books in this series.

I received an ARC and I didn’t want to put it down. These 2 characters already had a past chemistry in the prior book and this one started off with a Bang. The sexual tension actually occurred later in the book which was different then most books that have a longer lead up. I highly recommend reading the Hot Cake series and prior Boys of the Bayou books prior to this book to get all the inside jokes and we are treated to some of our favorite characters making a visit to Autre. Naomi and Donovan compliment each other, bringing out the best in each other and giving each other a what they didn’t realize was missing. Top off the book with adorable animals and some crazy Cajuns and you have another winning book in the series.

I’m still smiling after finishing this story. Life in Autre is never boring and when Donovan came to visit his brother Griffin, he suddenly found it hard to leave, something that’s never happened to him before. He’s been out following his passion for wild animal rescues as he tries to do great work to make his brother proud. When they lost their parents, they had no one but each other so having a large family support system is foreign to them. When the Landry’s embrace them as their own, Donovan isn’t sure what to feel or think. Naomi loves her hometown and has been living a life under the radar after years as a child TV star. She hasn’t let anyone in as she works to stay private but filming and following Donovan’s adventures as he helps rescue animals in the area captivates and worries her. These two have a beautiful attraction to each other but struggle to embrace their emotions. As they work together to rescue animals, they find a common ground and trust that allows them to open up. Naomi’s fear is that Donovan will get bored with small town life and need to leave again. What an amazing couple. I enjoyed all their adventures and the path they had to take to realize what would make them truly happy. Along the way, I got to spend time with this amazing family that the Boys of the Bayou has created. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

5 My Prediction Came True Stars
* * * * * Spoiler Free-A Quick Review
Ok, I am going to be brief and not go on and on about how much I adore Erin Nicholas's writing, her ability to give us engaging stories that not only have us loving the characters she creates, feeling as though we are right there in the thick of it, and has some of the best sexy times but most importantly, educate us about serious issues so we become aware of them.

Nope, I will be good and just say this tale had so much going for it.
People who thought they didn't deserve love and commitments, people who discovered they were enough, and people who just really effing liked and then loved each other...and wow, told each other they did.

Yup, this story had real people and also the backdrop of how "Reality TV" is not actually real and how the everyday experiences can be enough to call as doing good.

We also got the pleasure of seeing past characters from all the other connected books, don't worry, we got a list of who's who and which book before the book started.

Oh, and if I am being me, I am now asking Ms. Nicholas to Please, Please create a series about the Cajun Navy...so much could be done with them, heh heh.

This story had me feeling ALL the feels! I was laughing one moment, crying the next... and a few times may have wanted to injure a few characters 😉

I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER for Naomi and Donovan's story, and it did NOT disappoint. The chemistry between these two was intense and HOT. Not only did they have amazing chemistry, the amount of respect they had for each other and what they do for a living was amazing. Even when one wasn't completely sure about what the other was doing, the respect was there, and communication played an overall huge part of that.

We get to catch up with our favorite Autre crew in here, along with a surprise visit from other characters we know and LOVE.

This was an amazing addition to the Boys Of The Bayou Gone Wild series, one that I would DEFINITELY recommend!

Aww I really, really love Erin Nicholas' Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series and this next book in the series, Sealed With a Kiss gets my seal of approval too. Donovan and Naomi were so freaking adorable! I loved them instantly. Not only was their chemistry sizzling hot but the way they cared for one another was just so great! I have absolutely loved this world Ms. Nicholas has created and all the lovely characters I have met so far. I've fallen in love with every single romance and love story that these cast of wonderful characters have experienced. And to combine characters from other series to meet in this story? I am in heaven! Absolute heaven! I highly recommend this book and any other in the series. You will have a blast being immersed in this world. All feel good, make you laugh, sigh, swoon, flush and sometimes cry stories that will leave you wanting to be a part of their world as well.

Actual rating: 4.5 ⭐️

One of the things I enjoyed about this book is that the buildup to their relationship happens in earlier books in the series, back when these two were just side characters in their friends’ romances. So when we start Sealed With a Kiss, we know Naomi is in love with Donovan already. And we know he feels the same. Instead of building up the romance, Erin Nicholas dives right into building their relationship and the questions that come along with it.

Naomi is a planner, quiet (compared to the Landry’s anyway) and private about her life. On the other hand, Donovan puts it all out there regularly, whether it was for his TV show or just to rescue an animal in danger. Where he shows up with bloody scrapes from a daring rescue, Naomi stands by with bandaids on hand. I like this balance between them and how it translates into their relationship. More than that, I like how they begin to take on the opposite roles - Naomi with the daring stunts and Donovan worrying for her safety. These two are adorable.

Opposites attract very strongly in Erin Nicholas’ world, and each couple seems to smooth out the rough edges of their partner and open up new possibilities into their lives. I adore the way this plays out for Naomi and Donovan and am excited for glimpses of the continuation of their story in future books of the series!

✨Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Erin Nicholas for sending me an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.✨

Oh So Hot & Spicy!!
Any time we’re back in the bayou I know it’s gonna be a wild, hilarious, fun adventure. The Cajun Navy is in full force after a hurricane left animal abandon.

“I get to go hang out with a tiger, a seal, and three black bears today and I’m not in any hurry to get out of bed.”

Naomi and Donovan are adorable together and I love all the animals. It wouldn’t be Autre without the wacky cast of characters making an appearance. All the gang is on hand.

“Donovan,” Armand said with a smile. “You’re in love with him.” Naomi stared at her grandfather. “What? I am…”

Naomi looked at Andre. “You saw the kiss?” Andre grinned at her. “Everyone’s seen the kisses, Naomi.” Rosalie made a humming sound. “It was a good kiss, cher.”
I can’t wait to find out what’s going on with Knox and Fiona.

Abandoned: Not sure what happened with this one. I put it down and just don't feel like continuing. Which is kind of the point of my new "Abandoned" tag (along with self-permission to keep it to a single paragraph). Naomi is awesome. Donovan is cool. I just don't care much for their relationship dynamic and Donovan's stupid attachment issues are stupid.

With each book in this series I don't think I can fall in love with the characters more than the last book but each book proves me wrong. However, I think I love Donovan a lot is due to his brother, Griffin, and how their relationship had broken anc changed over the years. I think their relationship both being outsiders of the town and the Landry's makes their books unique and enthralling.

Donovan believing that if he does everything on his own means he won't be a burden on Griffin was sad and hard to read but I love the man he becomes due to his insecurities. I love that being around Griffin even if they aren't close brought a calm that Donovan didn't know he was looking for. And I especially love that Donovan searching for calm ended up helping Naomi grow into herself and want to get back into the public eye.

Donovan and Naomi complement each other really well and have a nice push and pull on who is going to be the more adventurous and who is going to be the voice of reason. That makes their relationship passionate, fun, and entertaining to say the least.

Finally, I'm loving watching the Landry Petting zoo grow into something that was unexpected but needed in the book's world.

Donovan and Naomi are on a collision course toward hotness. Donovan may be slightly slower to act, but Naomi more than makes up for it! When she decides that he's what she wants, she goes all out. At first she's just determined to make sure he doesn't harm himself with his wild animal rescues, but then she decides to show him that he needs to do what's good for him--he needs to do her.

This story has it all, baby bears, panties falling off, people snapping pictures of their really hot kisses, friends and family, and of course goats and seals! It also has Naomi and Donovan learning things about themselves that are going to make them better together!

Another great addition to the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series by Nicholas. I don't know how she keeps coming up with these amazing couples, but she does. Loved it!

I was gifted a copy of the book by the author. All thoughts are my own.

Count on Nicholas to spread her special brand of sunshine to bookshelves everywhere. Naomi and Donovan bring the fun to another adorable installment of The Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series. She's a small town girl with a big heart. He's a larger than life celebrity that couldn't be more out of her league. Sealed with a Kiss is a heartbreaker that will steal your heart while tickling your funny bone. An instant love kind of read.

Donovan Foster and Naomi LeClaire seem to want different things out of life… except maybe they really don’t…

Sealed With A Kiss by Erin Nicholas is the fourth in her absolutely incredible Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series, and it is a pleasure to return to Autre and the Landry enclave.

After her childhood lived in the spotlight, Naomi has chosen to live very privately, and she cherishes her relative anonymity among her family and friends. Donovan has stumbled onto the spotlight as a tool for bringing light and help to animals and places that need assistance, so he welcomes the cameras.

While Donovan and Naomi might seem to be at odds regarding life in the public eye, they are very much on the same page when it comes to their love for animals and wildlife rescues of all kinds. Dealing with the aftermath of a serious hurricane gives these two a chance to explore what they each bring to the table and what that extremely mutual chemistry might mean for them both.

Sealed With A Kiss is incredibly sweet, hot, funny, and fabulous, even as it leaves you wanting more kisses, more animals, and hungry for Haitian food!

I'm always thrilled to head back to the bayou with this incredibly fun series. It's my opinion that this author is a master craftsman at combining lovable characters, strong bonds of family and friendship, chuckle inducing humor, scene stealing animals, small town charm, quirkiness, sultry steam, emotion and a gigantic amount of heart into a complex world that is sinfully easy to get immersed in and honestly never want to leave. Donovan and Naomi's romance will hit you with mega feels and endless swoon! This couple really tugs at those heartstrings!! A simply delightful read in a series that is not to be missed. This is my frank, freely posted review.

I had high hopes going into this book and, once again, Erin Nicholas does not disappoint. I always love returning to the Autre and the Landry family and their friends.

This time we get Naomi and Donovan's story. She is a former child star who lives a quiet small-town life. He is a famous wild life rescuer who is only in Autre for a short time. The chemistry and connection between them is undeniable and only continues to get stronger even as things get more complicated.

I love Erin's writing style and the characters she creates. Her stories are full of heart and heat, and Naomi and Donovan feel like real people you want to be friends with. They have great growth individually and together as the story progesses. I thought their relationship development was well done and had just enough drama to keep things interesting without being over the top. As with her other books there's lots of humor, fun, and a few familiar faces that pop up.

You can read this as a standalone, but I highly recommend this whole series and the others that are interconnected. Erin did a wonderful job creating Autre and its residents, and you won't be able to stop reading after just this book.

Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.

Sealed With A Kiss has EVERYTHING!!! From Humor to drama to HOT and sexy to family love and over the top Landry antics. And of course, the guest appearances of Dax, Oliie, and the gang from Appleby, Iowa (Hot Cakes Series), and the brothers and friends from New Orleans (Boys of the Big Easy Series). It was a big family reunion… even if that family is by heart not blood! It’s book #4 in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series by Erin Nicholas. You may not need to read the other books in this series or in the Hot Cakes series to enjoy this book, but after reading Sealed With A Kiss, I bet you’re gonna want to!!!

Erin has a way of bringing to life these wonderful characters who I want to be neighbors with, related to, and best friends with. I want to BE a Landry! Who wouldn’t??? Donovan and Naomi are attracted to each other from the start; however, Naomi doesn’t want to be in the spotlight that Donovan seems at home in. She prefers the simpler, quieter life… now.

Donovan’s a veterinarian who loves being the guy who rescues animals! Big, small, exotic, or pets, he wants all of them to be safe. He had his own Youtube channel with his daring exploits and is ready to be on camera and educating the masses about animal rescue and rehabilitation. Can these two find a common ground? I enjoyed the build from friends to lovers, and even though I wanted to give each of them a smack as they were feeling out the tv show, they showed how they wanted the best for each other.

As I said this book has it all, you’ll love the family, friends, and neighbors of the Landry clan. If you’re not related, wait 10 minutes, and you will be! I laughed everything Dax opened his mouth, shook my head at the banter back and forth of the siblings and cousins, and sighed every time Donovan and Naomi were alone together. Another hit for Erin Nicholas!!!

I’m declaring right now that I have never had as much fun reading a book as I have with Sealed With A Kiss! As a longtime fan of Erin Nicholas…back to the very beginning of her publishing career…I’ve enjoyed all her books and series. But to read a book that not only features the Boys the Bayou/Gone Wild but part of the Sweet Cakes gang themselves…this is certainly the nectar of the gods! All that’s missing for this gal is a Bennett brother or four. Can Tucker come to Autre soon to hang out?!
Naomi and Donovan are gold. There’s nothing to not like about these two, as individuals or as a couple. While it could be said that Naomi is the caregiver of the Autre group of family and friends…just take a look in her purse…it’s something extra special when she turns that caring Donovan’s way. He hasn’t had, or let, anyone watch his back in way too long. But in addition to that caring and friendship, there is red hot chemistry between these two that is evident in every conversation, wink and kiss they have together.
I swear every single Autre citizen and Landry family member…by blood or by love…ever introduced is on hand in this story. It’s pandemonium and it’s freaking awesome! This is where I want to live…in the pages of this book with this bunch of crazy, funny, loving and interesting people. A big thank you and hugs to Erin Nicholas, not just for creating this wonderful series and expanding it to included new stories and characters, but for bringing the readers along for the ride.

He loves the limelight and she likes the quiet life, but the more time they spend together those lines are blurred as are the lines of their friendship. Child star Naomi LeClaire has spent the last decade trying to erase her Zoey At The Zoo fame, but when wildlife rehabilitation expert Donovan Foster came to town 8 months ago, she’s had a hard time not being fascinated by him. When they are caught on camera in a private moment and offered a possible television show about rehabilitating animals right in her hometown, it seems like the perfect thing to keep Donovan happy and in town, but not everything is smooth sailing and soon both Naomi and Donavan realize they’ve changed and that’s not a bad thing, because even when they disagree they still have each other. A smart, sexy, feel-good romance filled with family, food, and of course animals of every sort, Sealed With a Kiss was an amazing addition to this already fantastic series. I have loved Donovan since he showed up in Autre, Louisiana to visit his brother but it was also obvious he was looking for something more in his life. It was no surprise he got caught up in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild animal park because if there’s one thing that’s sure in his life it’s his love of animals of all kinds. He’s begun to realize he’s feeling more and more at home and he’s not sure how that makes him feel. As someone who has chased his dream all over the world at first Autre felt a big small, but being surrounded by a big, boisterous, crazy family Donovan has had to admit it doesn’t suck especially when he gets to spend time around Naomi even when she seems displeased about the risks he takes. Naomi put her Hollywood life completely behind her and the people of the town has made sure it stayed that way, but with Donovan in town she’s beginning to see how powerful it can be to educate people on injured wildlife and rehabilitation and a way for her to keep close to Donovan. I loved how she tuned in to the fact that Donovan craved connection and family and how much he needed someone to care about him. The steam rolling off the bayou on a humid, summer day has nothing on the heat between these two. Whew, I need a cool drink and a fan when these two are together and I loved that. They had such a connection and while I think part of it was a love of animals despite their interactions being very different, part of it was they were both a bit lost in their own way and when together the felt safe and whole. There was a mutual respect and a lot of emotion between them as well making this a very well rounded romance. I loved that there was a crossover with some of the characters from the Hot Cakes series which made this story all the sweeter. Add in the Ellie wisdom and it was pretty much perfect. While I usually love pet names and I did love Naomi’s pet name for Donovan (Wild Thing), his for her (Goddess) just didn’t work and that is nothing against Ms. Nicholas because I know she doesn’t read as much as I do but that pet name has been so used and abused this year that now when I hear it, I can’t stand it. I also felt like the building of their relationship got a bit lost in everything going on in this book; it was a super busy book and while I loved the way they helped with the hurricane something that is so important in the area this series is set, and they rescuing of animals, and the proposed reality show, for me it was just a bit too much. I wanted more time just between them, but perhaps that’s just me being a greedy reader. I loved Sealed With A Kiss and I especially loved the added diversity to this series. Good times and bad, everything is better with friends and family by your side and this series shows that over and over.

(audiobook) It started good. A storm, baby animals to save, a man and a woman stranded together… I was all in. Then Naomi and Donovan come back to town, and I was honestly lost. It’s only book 4 in the series, but it’s linked to another series, so there were a lot of characters. As a new reader of this author, I couldn’t keep up and I had no idea who were all those people, even after many details were given. It ended up keeping me from the main couple.

Which was frustrating, because their love story was interesting in itself. A faked for the screen but true relationship between a former TV star gone back to anonymity and a reckless wild life expert who’s been offered a TV sport in exchange of some staged adventures–that was full of potential, and the author delivers. Wild, and not so wild, animals rescued, lots of humor, and of course the doubts Naomi and Donovan have about any word and touch they share–fake relationship, hello! Sure, they could have communicated a bit more to avoid conflicts. But it’s typical in romance.

The setting was interesting too. I’m not familiar with that part of the world, so the accent, the food, etc. were used to create the atmosphere. I travelled a bit with Donovan and Naomi. I love it when all my senses contribute in creating the world I read about.

The female narrator was new to me, and I wasn’t a fan. Her pace was too slow. Compared to the energitic reading of the male narrator, she almost made me fall asleep. She wasn’t bad at all, just it didn’t work well with that co-narrator. To the point that some of the funny lines fell flat.

I’ll try the author again, because I saw the qualities, but this book wasn’t for me.

Quickie

- Series: Boys of the bayou gone wild #4 (can be read as a standalone)
- Hashtags: #small town romance #friends to lovers #fake relationship #celebrities #wild animals
- Triggers: injured animals, animals neglect
- Main couple: Naomi LeClaire & Donovan Foster
- Hotness: 3/5
- Romance: 4/5
- + lots of wild adventures
- – way too many characters, I was lost

What would you do if you found out your celebrity crush was related to one of your good friends? What would you do if he came to town and started flirting hard with you?
I adored this story!! Erin Nicholas has spin gold with this series and these people. Add in all the extraordinary animals both exotic and domestic and I’m in seventh heaven. Naomi and Donovan have this very distinct vibe. She wants him to stay in Autre and wants to show him how much he’s cared for. He is not actively looking to leave but he knows that as a wildlife rescuer, he needs to go where he’s needed. His online show takes him every where and anywhere. The call from his heart though can be stronger if he listens. His very in like with Naomi is sweet and turns hot pretty fast. Hers for him too. Through this story, they also bond in a new way over the animals they help. And it makes their in like so much more.
This story makes my inner heart so happy since not only do we get Donovan and Naomi but we also catch up with the rest of the family and some unexpected guests from a well loved series as well.

Loved this book, such a feel good one. Absolutley Love Donovan and Naomi, their passion and chemistry on is hot. Not just that I love the treat of revisiting characters not just across the Bayou but also some from hot cakes, Iowa. The continued interaction between them, I love, you almost feel you are part of the extended family too. What more could you want from a great feel good romance.... Well there is more, all the animals have their own characters and personalities and you can't help fall in love with them too. There are so many appear in this book and add to the heart warming moments, the animals add comedy, love, adorablness as well as great entertainment in their own right.
This book brought me lots of joy (just hated that work made me have to put it down for large spells, lol) ❤

Hot, hot, hot!! Naomi and Donvan have my vote as the steamiest Gone Wild couple by far!

Friends, lovers, fake boyfriend/ girlfriend, Naomi and Donovan have done it all. Their flirty banter and heart-felt emotions set the stage for this incredible romance and their too-hot-for-my-kindle chemistry is the icing on the cake! Opposites definitely attract as the internet star veterinarian falls for a small town woman who has sworn off the being in the spotlight. But a hurricane, a road trip and a few daring animal rescues later, Naomi and Donovan have to decide what's most important to them. I absolutely adored both of these characters.

Add in more animals, more Ellie, and a lot of laugh out loud moments from some of our favorite characters and Sealed With A Kiss is definitely a must read!

Oh Naomi and Donovan, you brought the heat from the very beginning and kept it going the entire time! So fantastic and fun to read. Add in the lovable cast of characters in Autre and I’m ready to move to town!! I especially enjoyed checking in with some of the Hot Cakes crew, too. This is a 5 star, must read! Erin Nicholas knocked it out of the park, again!!

If the first scene doesn’t grab you and keep you, well I just don’t know what to say! Donovan is a wildlife rehabilitation specialist and he’s really good at what he does. He loves adventure, too. Naomi likes to stay at home, but she has a major crush on Donovan. She comes with her own set of secrets and surprises, too. It is such a fun ride seeing these two come together. I loved that the friends from Iowa and New Orleans are included, connections are made, and family still rules. This story is a fun romp that brings many of author Erin Nicholas’ series together for a wonderful visit. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Or is it just the beginning and the end? The animal park is growing and it is so fun!

I always love my return trips to Autre, Louisana and every moment spent with the Landry family is a fun filled adventurous time! Sealed with a Kiss is Donovan and Naomi's story. These two had such fantastic sizzling, chemistry. I loved their passion for their work, animal rescue, family and most of all each other.

This book is everything I love about Erin Nicholas’ writing. Small town setting, endless moments of laughter and swoon and of course the Landry’s. This family can be meddling and all up in each other’s business but they have the best of intentions and everyone should be so lucky to have a family like this one in their lives.

Donovan is the crazy adventurous type. Always jumping into dangerous situations to solve a problem before he has fully thought it through. He has a huge heart and luckily always comes out with all his limbs intact. What he doesn’t realize is Naomi is always there, routing him on with her heart in her throat watching a man she is quickly falling for putting his life at risk. Donovan’s wild, fun, adventurous side is becoming a huge attraction for Naomi. She is putting herself out there more than ever as she is finding out she wants to be at Donovan’s side, routing him on. She even ends up surprising herself in her own discoveries and passion for animal rescue.

The Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild is quickly becoming a favourite series and I cannot wait for the next one!

I loved the audio narration done by Zara Eden and Jason Clarke. Their voices are engaging, entertaining, sexy and sweet. Listening to a story narrated in third person POV can sometimes be harder to connect to the emotions of the characters, but I thought they did a wonderful job and I hope to hear more books narrated by these two together in the future.

Feel good, super steamy, full of family and animals...seriously, what is not to love about this book!!

Donovan Foster and Naomi LeClaire have steam in spades and are super flirty, even when rescuing animals from dangerous situations. This couple is just full of chemistry and it shows. They catch the attention of any and everyone no matter where they go, even if they plan on keeping their attraction to themselves...sorry hottie mchotties there is no containing their level of  heat.

Donovan lives his life in the spotlight. He's passionate about his work and a lot of times he jumps in to situations before he thinks. Thankfully, he always come out of every rescue situation alive and with all of his body parts still attached, but that doesn't mean that Naomi hasn't watched his show with her heart beating out of her chest and especially as she's grown to know the man she worries even more about all of those body parts remaining attached to his very hot body. 

Naomi lives a very private life and she prefers to calculate every move before she makes it. The longer she spends in the company of Donovan the more she finds herself jumping right in to help him rescue animals, but she also finds new passions that she didn't realize she'd ever wanted. All because of one very intense man. Donovan isn't sure he likes seeing Naomi put herself in dangerous situations, but he also loves watching her blossom while she's doing it. It's a crazy feeling and certainly one he's never experienced. 

Can this traveling wanderlust be happy with a private homebody? These two may have chemistry through the roof, but is it enough to make a relationship last long term?

Sealed With A Kiss is full of wonderful animals, lots of great family that is fun with crossover worlds, LOL moments mixed with lots of sigh worthy ones.  I loved this addition to the Boys of Bayou world.

Erin Nicholas continues the delightful series of the growing petting zoo in the Louisiana bayou with Sealed with A Kiss. We've met Donovan and Naomi in the previous books in the series, and we knew the chemistry was there. Now it's their time, and what a time it is. They blend together so well and continue the high jinx we have come to expect, involving all the adorable animals that head their way. Add in all the characters we have come to know and love so well it only adds to the sweetness and enjoyableness of this book. Read the series and fall in love with all these people with some of the most adorable animals you could bring together.

ARC for honest review with no compensation

Sealed with a Kiss is book 4 in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild by Erin Nicholas and another trip to the bayou.

Naomi and Donovan are up next, we met them in the prior book and while they take a bit longer to connect, we meet up with some friends from past books and other from prior series…friends, family, baby animals, hot kisses and so much more…

If you haven’t read the prior books in this series or the Hot Cakes series, Boys of the Bayou series…you are missing out on really amazing books!!

I love this series. With every book I read I think wow this is my favorite of the series. Then the next book comes out and I am wow now this might just be my favorite. This series will imprint itself into your soul and with each book you will become more invested in the characters and the story line. You will eat, sleep and dream about the book you are reading until you are finished. Then you will be waiting not so patiently for the next book to come out. Sealed With A Kiss was an incredible read from start to finish. You will fall in love with Donovan and Naomi. You will fall in love with all the animals, the side characters, and the story line. Honestly you do not want to miss this book! I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.
