Lagniappe: An Iron Lace Story - Mercy Celeste

Laissez les bons temps rouler, bebe!

Whoo boy, was this an unexpected surprise from MC.
A Jizzmas gift from a fave MC couple, Darcy and Caleb (Remy)!

Mercy Celeste is my kinda comfort read: hot times between passionate guys and dramatics to keep the page turning.

And for less than 100 pgs, we get just that.

Lagniappe starts months later from the ending of Behind Iron Lace. The couple is going strong in Oregon. But Darcy is Darcy, clueless and trying to help everyone. And Caleb's new restaurant & bar is almost open.

But their exes won't let the lovebirds be great. Jealousies, light OTT antics and a plot twist that you could see a mile coming happens in this Jizzmas tale. Throw in insatiable sex and chemistry when their exes aren't testing Darcy and Caleb's limits.

The ending isn't one I saw coming (for a pair of secondary characters). I'm kinda happy with it. Expect twists

a baby!

(spoiler show)

This is an erotic glimpse in the future. The Cajun is just as hot and volatile. *grins*

There were a few editing issues but I didn't care. I came for Darcy and Caleb and their hot loving.

And it's what I got.

Also, I'd like to thank my secret Jizzmas Santa for getting me this. You're A++++!

Lagniappe: An Iron Lace Story

Debra E's Never-Ending TBR

Was thrilled to get more Caleb and Darcy but I still can't stand Bailey so I really did hope she wouldn't have played a part here (yes I hold grudges and would have been happy without her getting a HEA).

LAGNIAPPE by Brian W. Smith

Lagniappe Literature

Four army buddies reunite in New Orleans.

After years of separation, a group of men gather for fun and catch up on old times. The guys have a great time but time has a way of changing some. All is not as it seems and no one will leave New Orleans the same as they arrived.

I was kind of worried when I reached the half way point and very little had transpired. I mean, as expected, the guys were having a great time but I was beginning to question my need to read further. However, things suddenly took an interesting turn and I found myself reading faster. Smith takes his sweet time building up the story. Once there, oh my! Really packs a punch to the gut. Worth the quick read.

FYI: The oyster's at Acme Oyster House AND Drago's really are that good. Always a must when in New Orleans.

Charbroiled oysters at Drago's are better than good.

"Lagniappe" by Brian W. Smith

My Thoughts....

Wow, this is what did happen when four military friends [Nick, Derek, Carmelo and Hamilton] take a trip 'down memory lane'...a reunion to New Orleans. Yes, this will be two nights of fun but who would have ever thought that taking a trip down memory lane may not have been the best route to have gone on for these friends. What will happen when 'secrets' start to come out that will change their lives forever?

What is going on with Nick Drummond [his wife Gabrielle], Hamilton Porter and Nick, Derek Hanson and Carmelo Kingston [his wife Janet]....and how do these people all tie into each other?

Well, you will just have to pick up 'Lagniappe' and see for yourself how well this author presents it all to you in this twist of a read that will definitely give you a 'jaw-dropping ending! This is definitely one of those reads that will cause you to think about it long after the read. Would I recommend? YES!
