    About this ebook

    At thirty, Nora Kehoe is feeling pressured to settle down. Then, a passionate encounter with a childhood friend changes everything.
    The charismatic Jean Marc Gaspard manages the family fishing business, but rumors abound that Jean Marc is running more than seafood through the waters around Manchac Louisiana. Soon Nora is thrown headlong into the dangerous world of smugglers. And as Jean Marc tries to protect Nora from his murky past, he realizes he may lose her because of it.
    The dark bayou waters run deep with secrets, and every Cajun knows how to dance the fine line between the right and wrong side of the law. But learning the steps to staying alive in the swamps can be tricky. Life, and love, will be dependent on how well one can master the ... Acadian Waltz.

      I have read a few of Alexandrea Weis's books and loved them all. The same can be said for Acadian Waltz. A story that takes place in New Orleans, with glimpses into the deep south. Nora Kehoe is a physical therapist in charge of the Joint Program at a local hospital who is feeling a bit lonely. Her mother wants her to marry and supply her with grandchildren and Nora is not ready for that. She does agree to go out on a few blind dates and when one of them ends up in the hospital emergency room with a reaction to something he ate. While there, she meets Dr. John Blessing. Things between the two move along pretty fast with John proposing and Nora accepting. The good doctor is a bit too pushy and anal, everything has to go according to his plans including planning the wedding. When she goes back to where she grew up to keep an eye on her Uncle Jack, she runs into a childhood friend, Jean Marc Gaspard . Sparks fly for both of them but they are each to stubborn to admit to it. As time goes on things get more intense and eventually come to a climax when Nora moves in with Jean Marc's mother to help take care of Jean Marc's twin brother Henri after Henri is found almost dead. This story has the charm of New Orleans, the danger of the swamps along with family secrets make this a book worth reading until its surprising conclusion. I loved it!!
    • 5/5
      Acadian Waltz was the first book by Alexandrea Weis that I’ve read. It won’t be the last because I like her style. I thought there was the right blend of angst, suspense and romance, allowing the story to move at a good pace and keeping me engaged throughout. I really didn’t want to put it down. And, how can you go wrong with the charm of New Orleans and the bayou as a setting? The characters were flawed and relatable: Momma (Claire) was overbearing. Her husband, Lou, was somewhat meek. Dr. John Blessing was demanding and narcissistic. Jean Marc was complicated and a bit arrogant. Uncle Jack was really down-to-earth and just called things as he saw them. And Nora was trying to please everyone but herself. I loved her best when she developed a backbone! The relationships were complex and well-developed. This was a very well written story with some twists and turns that will, in turn, frustrate and please. I’m looking forward to reading more of Ms. Weis’ work. Acadian Waltz was an enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it. There was some profanity and some explicit love-making scenes.Rating: 4 ½ Heat Rating: Between Mild and Hot – a bit spicyReviewed by: Karen CReview Courtesy of My Book Addiction and More
