I really enjoyed this first book in the Bourbon Street Boys series.
They are basically a private security firm, but they're not all boys as the name suggests. There's Ozzie, Lucky, Dev, Thibault and the only female of the group so far is Toni. Each member has their own distinguishing traits. I loved the camaraderie between them all and it was clear to me they were a very close knit group.
One night May receives a text message and believing it to be her sister she responds and agrees to go to a dingy biker bar, downtown to try and help her out. And here is where she meets Ozzie, who at first glance is not appealing to May in the slightest.
What struck me most about this book was how funny it was. I mean here we have a ditzy girl who carries round her beloved chihuahua in her bag and uses words like 'Toot' and 'Poop', which under normal circmstances wouldn't work for me, but I really did think it worked in this book and then we have Ozzie who is as rugged and mean and moody as they come. How these two could possibly work together was hard to imagine, but the humour in this book makes it totally plausible.
I was almost tempted to rate this book higher, but I really do feel there is so much more to come, but what a great start to a series. This is the first book I've read by this author and I can only describe it as a real hidden gem and definitely one for those who love the more humorous side to romance.

Synopsis
When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she’s nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble—she’s wearing pink espadrilles, she’s got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she’s in the middle of a shootout.
After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night—and the offer of a job. But it’s not long before a gun-toting stalker isn’t the only complication in May’s life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they’ve got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess…Will it also get her the right guy?
