Logan Hart is a reporter, with his own column, for the New Orleans Gazette. He made a bet he could do any job for one shift and his readers expect a monthly update on his adventures. His stint as a male stripper turns into a seductive slow dance with a sexy woman that leads to an amazing night of steamy sex. She gets under his skin and touches his heart but by morning she disappears. Logan is determined to find her, his reporter's instincts tell him she is hiding secrets and in danger.

Being a cop on the mean streets of the Big Easy is Jody Dupree's life. She shared an incredible night of sex with Logan but flees by morning. The hot-bodied “stripper” turns out to be a reporter assigned to tag along with her as she works so he can write his column as promised. Spending time together in the sultry French Quarter and the sweltering bayous is more exciting than what's happening on the streets—then Logan senses a story involving Jody’s past and an unsolved murder from years ago. The secrets she keeps could make his career...and put them both in more danger than he realizes.

Wow, I really enjoyed Southern Exposure!! Karen Kelley did an incredible job weaving erotism into a well-written plot that threathens romance with murder and betrayal. And many kudos for the secondary romances as well!! I enjoy stories set in New Orleans but when I am taken (as a reader) into the Louisiana bayous...that is when the fun really begins. The scene of the heroine taking the hero out into the swamp in a piroque, for safe keeping, was just awesome....and then when they hit land....I will never forget it. YUM!! Southern Exposure is quite simply...fantastic!

Justin Thibodeaux is determined to find the gold that will prove his heritage and after an eventful night on the bayou his gris-gris has him changing with the moon. Then after ten years, his ex-lover Jean-Marie LaFleur comes back into his life, and they have a second chance at love.

Sound simple enough? That's the basis of Bayou Gold but it's just the tip of the iceberg for this awesome story set in LaTreche, a small Louisiana parish, where voodoo is just as powerful as the raging passion that flames between this hero and heroine. I found myself totally absorbed in the authentic flavor of Louisiana, and the passion was indeed as sweltering as a night on the bayou must truly be. It made me long to visit and, Mercy Alive, I would hope to get just a look at a man as sexy as Justin Thibodeaux. Alicia Sparks deserves a GOLD medal for Bayou Gold!!!
