I am reviewing a copy of Under the Bayou Moon through Revell and Netgalley:

Ellie fields was restless with the familiarity of her Alabama home when she accepts a teaching job in a tiny Louisiana town deep in bayou country. Though rightfully suspicious of outsiders, who have threatened both their language and their culture, most of the people in tiny Bernadette, Louisiana, come to appreciate the young and idealistic schoolteacher as a boon to the town.   She soon teaches just about everyone,  which brings her in opposition to the school board as well as a politician who has ulterior motives.

While acclimating to to a whole new world, Ellie meets a lonely but intriguing Cajun fisherman named Raphe who introduces her to the legendary white alligator that haunts these waters. Raphe and Ellie have barely found their way to each other when a huge bounty is offered for the elusive gator, bringing about a shocking turn of events that will test their love and their will to right a terrible wrong.

If you are looking for a historical read that will take you to the Bayou of Louisiana, I highly recommend Under the Bayou Moon.

Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
