Truly enjoyed this story! Being very familiar with the area, I felt nostalgia & warmth come alive. At times I would just laugh out loud because I could relate to the story. Good job, Susan!

Home to Cypress Bayou, the first book in the Louisiana series by Susan Sands immerses you in the Deep South, drawing you in from page one with a second chance romance…that is hard fought…grit, intrigue, and medical drama. The characters are endearing and relatable, flaws and all. From the onset, I found myself pulled into Jake and Leah’s emotional orbit, fascinated as the layers of their complex past are peeled away to create the reader’s rapport that then drives the story. This first book in the series has set the foundation for what promises to be a fascinating series. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I absolutely love how Susan fleshes out her characters and surroundings. It makes you feel like you are in the place and know these people… I have read and thoroughly enjoyed every one of her books and hope she continues to bless us all with her undeniable humor and attention to detail in many books to come !!!

What a wonderful first book in the Cypress Bayou series by Susan Sands. I absolutely loved Home to Cypress Bayou! A small town, southern drama full of family secrets, romance, and a hint of mystery. Did I mention the delicious food descriptions? This book had me craving some classic Louisiana cuisine the entire time! Highly recommended, I can’t wait for book number two.
