Batiste Cajun Devils Book 1 edition by Victoria Danann Romance eBooks

First, the really good news: If you are not yet a Victoria Danann reader, now is your chance to join us because this is the very first book in a new series. If you want to enjoy it to its fullest, it would be good to read the Sons of Sanctuary series first but that probably isn't necessary since the SSMC plays a secondary role here... sort of.

I was not very far into this book before I knew that I could probably predict the way we were going though it turns out there was a new side to it. It is similar in the basic story line to some other books by this author, particularly the SSMC books. So if it is somewhat “predictable,” then why the 5 star rating? Here's why, in reverse order:

3-Amazon doesn't have more than 5 stars.
2-It is another SSMC (sort of) book.
1-Victoria Danann is the author! That automatically qualifies it for all stars Amazon has.

About this book? I won't say much because you need to read it. My three favorite states of the 50, in order, are Mississippi/Texas, Texas/Mississippi, and Louisiana. This one is set in Louisiana (South Louisiana, which is really different from the rest) and Texas. And the author lives in South Texas so she isn't relying on research – she knows the area and people. This time she writes a romance story filled with action, local color and flavor, and her own, unique way of telling a story. If you have read anything at all from this author, you know what I mean and Batiste is more of the same in that regard only “just a little bit” better because Victoria Danann's story telling skills improve with every book... if that's even possible.

If you're looking for a fun little read, look elsewhere because this one had some real teeth to it... okay, probably not different from her other books but it looks at some things about a part of human behavior the is a little dark. However, it is NOT done in a distasteful manner, as disturbing as it may be to some. That's just a disclaimer for her, not a description. Personally I was not put off by anything here in the least except that the bad guy got his just desserts entirely too quickly in the end but then my ending really might have offended you. He deserved worse, much worse... but that's just me.

So that's why the book gets 5 stars. If Amazon gives us more, I'll go back and increase my score because this one deserves it. If you haven't read the previous Sons of Sanctuary books, I still think you really should go back to book 1 and start from there, just so you'll have a better grasp of the characters in this one and you will enjoy it while you're catching up. A lot! If you don't want to go to that much pleasure, go ahead and buy this one because it can stand on it's own. Great news! More Victoria Danann stuff will be coming soon!

Batiste Cajun Devils Book 1 edition by Victoria Danann Romance eBooks Reviews

Batiste was the first book in Victoria Danann’s Cajun Devils MC series. It was a spin off from her Sons of Sanctuary MC series.

Just Batiste was the President of the Cajun Devil’s MC. He was born and raised in the MC, in the heart of the Louisiana Cajun country.

Angelique Bellefeuille was the daughter to an allied chapter’s President. She was drop dead gorgeous but she was in danger from a rival MC. She knew the life and wanted nothing to do with it. Her father made her go to Batiste’s chapter for safety until he could handle it.

I liked the premise of the story. I liked the suspenseful nature in the plot. I liked the Cajun flare. I also liked the characters. A lot. All four were spot on and kept me interested. I did, however, wish it moved to the point quicker. I felt it took a little longer than I liked to set it up. Once it began moving, then I was enthralled.

Danann also did a great job of meshing the Sons of Sanctuary MC (SSMC) into the mix, both new and old favorites. I’m not sure where Danann is headed next in the Cajun Devils series, hopefully Pickup. In the meantime, Dev Merit is up next for the sixth book in the SSMC and I can’t wait!
BAPTISTE is much darker than most of Victoria Danann's books. She did post this warning WARNING This is not your usual romance. This love story takes a turn toward dark, intense, and gritty subject matter, including sexual abuse, and may test your emotional limits.

This book certainly did test my limits. But that is not a bad thing. What it says about the aftermath of sexual abuse is so important. Often traumatic events occur in books and the characters go on as if nothing happened. What Angelique goes through is difficult to read, but Victoria makes you understand as well as feel her pain. It would be false to sugar coat it. We take the slow steps to a possible recovery with the character.

But this is also a love story. What would you risk for someone you loved? Batiste and Angelique were friends as children. Each seemed to realize even then that they should be together. Then Batiste drifted away and took a different path. But sometimes regardless how twisted our paths can be, they lead us back to where we should be.

As always, Victoria Danann has written a story that is impossible to put down. The characters are complex. You cannot help but care about them. The emotions are intense, raw, and very real.
Just Batiste

When I know a new Victoria Dannan book is coming, I clear the decks. Find a comfy spot, make sure I have a cold beverage, maybe some chocolate, and settle in.

She warned us this was a darker book than her usual, so I got dark chocolate.  I fell in love with the Cajun Devils. I live in Texas, I love Louisiana Cajun Culture, they are our neighbors, she nailed my idea of backwoods down home Cajun. Some favorites from another series Sons of Sanctuary made an appearance. -remind me to re-read those again.- Oh, dark. Yes it was darker than her usual, not out of the realm of possibility, but way darker, which is scary how involved in the characters I get, I felt bad, like crying bad for some of the things. And triumphant for others.
She is good at pulling you in to her world. Her characters are not perfect people, they grow in the novel as you read it.

You can read this as a stand alone book, then go look for her others. Try this, it's like a snack candy bar (I think I am just hungry?) Its shorter than her usual I think. Only took an evening to finish. So you will have plenty of time for her other books. If you like this, I suggest Two Princes, to get more of the characters you meet in this book.
