When a Fan Loves a Novel...

The only disappointment in this novel is the fact that it eventually had to end. I could have happily read 1,000 more pages featuring Bobbie Faye, Trevor and Cam (as well as the supporting characters). I imagine even after that epic length, I would still be unhappy that it was over. Causey manages to makes this series more and more interesting with each novel. The characters and the crazy plots remain ever so interesting and engaging. Bobbie Faye is as hilarious as ever--and as we saw in the last two novels--she has this incredibly vulnerable side, too. And Causey showcases that vulnerability in an incredibly genuine manner. In fact, everyone showed their vulnerable side in this novel. The scenes with Bobbie Faye and both Trevor and Cam are so genuine, so steamy, and occasionally, so heartbreaking. While I absolutely love her with Trevor, I gotta tell you--I love her bond with Cam. After reading Causey's short story about Bobbie Faye & Cam (the beginning) on her website, I would happily pay money for a novel about their relationship before Trevor came along. Now don't get me wrong--I'm hoping that eventually Cam will move on to find true love elsewhere, but right now? I'm hoping that doesn't happen for a long, long time b/c the scenes with Trevor and Cam are fantastic at creating tension. Bobbie Faye's concern and loyalty toward Cam are believable and this history & affection between them is undeniable. The minute I finished this novel, I booted up the computer to find out when the next one will be released and I'm going bonkers not knowing when I can get my next Bobbie Faye fix. Oh, and the quotes opening each chapter? FREAKIN' FANTASTIC. :) I'm still laughing...

Keeps getting better and better!

I have been waiting for this book to come out since I finished reading the previous two books and I am so glad that it's finally here! From the first page, the story captured me with how progressed Trevor and Bobbie Faye's relationship was and how even with a psycho killer (Sean) after Bobbie Faye, she still has time to give Riles a hard time. This book is filled with emotions from many of the characters and it goes into the dynamics of the relationships between all of them and gives us great insight in why they acted the way they did in this book and in the previous other books. Bobbie Faye doesn't disappoint and her "babysitter" Riles is a hoot, but sometimes I wanted to bean him over the head for some of the things he says to Bobbie Faye - not fair! Overall, if you loved the other two Bobbie Faye books, this is a MUST-READ! I'm so happy with the ending of this book - I sure hope that there's a fourth book in the works because I'm hooked and can't wait to see what happens next!

Can I have a 4th Please?

Just because I've actually been to Contraband Days doesn't mean I'm biased. This book was tons of fun to read. Totally witty, loads of action, and some sizzle on top. I especially recommend this for LSU fans! Granted, we're talking total suspension of reality, but that's WHY I read. Enjoy!

zany out of control Cajun crime caper

In Lake Charles, Louisiana life is good if you ask Bobbie Faye Sumrall in spite of her last fiasco (see GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE GUNS). FBI agent Trevor Cormier asked her to marry him and she accepted. Being engaged is more than a hoot though she wished she knew a bit more about her fiancé's current assignment. Trevor leaves town on FBI business, but to keep Bobbie Faye from having one of her notorious very bad bad bad days as he will be gone for three days, he leaves her under the care of what he calls a bodyguard; she calls that person an adult babysitter. Five days later, Trevor fails to return to Bobby Faye. Worried about him she turns to her former boyfriend detective Cameron Moreau to find him even as killer Sean MacGreggor is coming for Bobbie Faye. WHEN A MAN LOVES A WEAPON is once again a zany out of control Cajun crime caper that hooks the audience from the moment five days go by as Bobby Faye has alligators up her butt with concern for her fiancé. The story line is fast-paced and filled with gators, swamps, bad dudes, and betting eccentrics (wagering on Bobby Faye survivalist) who make for a wild frolic. However, it is Bobby Faye's optimistic fortitude in the face of another Very (Very, Very, Very) Bad week that has fans wanting more of her Lake Charles thrillers as once again she affirms you can't keep a good woman down especially since she bets on herself.

The one we've been waiting for.

This is the Bobbie Faye book everyone has been waiting for, where all the potential comes together in one frenzied, hot, hysterically funny climax. Things that have been hinted at burst into full-blown 3-D. Relationships that have tugged at our hearts are now in full bloom, with all the angst, tenderness and high octane heat we've hoped for. This is the book we've been waiting to read, and it fulfills our expectations. Go. Buy. Read. Love. Enjoy!
