Escape to the Bayou by Amber Leigh Williams is the first book in her new series, Southern Justice. The series follows three young women who escaped from a horrific situation in Mexico years earlier. The three women have made the best of this harrowing situation and while they still bear the scars of their trauma, they have put the past behind them…. mostly. When Javier Rivera reconnects with Dr. Grace LaCroix, she has mixed emotions, he was very instrumental in helping them escape but his presence can only mean danger. Javier has pined over Grace since he walked away, now their common enemy has escaped, and he will not let anything happen to the woman he has come to love! However, Javier is still holding on to secrets, will his lack of honesty derail their developing relationship? Javier and Grace had an amazingly complex backstory and shared a great deal of unforced chemistry. The suspense and tension were palpable, and Jamie made a formidable villain. I look forward to Sloane’s and Pia stories, as we continue to unravel this web of deceit and suspense.
