It is never a bad thing to read a book set in New Orleans, a city that most find it difficult not to love. Zuri Day’s French Quarter Kisses brings a man “home” to New Orleans over a decade after being displaced following Hurricane Katrina. Intriguing, fresh, and satisfying made this book an entertaining read.
Pierre LeBlanc has never forgotten the city of his heart and returning to New Orleans over a decade after he left, he is excited about opening his own restaurant. Losing his grandmother and for all he knows his mother to Katrina, Pierre is ready to be back home and bring his love of Creole cooking to the French Quarter. And while he’d rather forget everything he lost in the storm, he is taken with reporter Rosalyn “Roz” Arnaud and agrees to be part of her series on Katrina survivors.
I loved the set up of this book and the fact that if showed despite Katrina being over a decade ago the city has never forgotten. Pierre’s success was the kind of story that gives people hope and while there was more to his story, Roz worked hard to help him and his younger sister with closure.
Ms. Day’s descriptions made me feel I was in the city which was a plus and Pierre’s background and life kept me engaged. I was a bit disappointed in some of Pierre’s decisions, but I also understood that he was deeply affected by the incidents that shaped his life and it was a touchy subject for him.
One thing that was very easy to feel was the intense heat between Pierre and Roz, but that grew into so much more as this book progressed.
Zuri Day offers up a satisfying romance set in a much beloved city making French Quarter Kisses not to be missed.
