How Boudreaux Began
Kristen Proby, a New York Times bestselling author, found inspiration for the Boudreaux series during a visit to New Orleans. Captivated by the city’s rich culture, vibrant energy, and sultry ambiance, she envisioned a family saga that would capture its essence. Launched in 2015 with Easy Love, the series grew from Proby’s love for crafting spicy, heartfelt romances about strong characters overcoming personal struggles. Her goal? To create a family as dynamic as the city itself, with each sibling’s story adding a new layer to the Boudreaux legacy.
The Heart of Boudreaux
The Boudreaux series spans eight books, each focusing on a sibling’s journey to love. Easy Love, the first, introduces Eli Boudreaux, a driven CEO uncovering embezzlement at Bayou Enterprises. When he hires investigator Kate O’Shaughnessy, their instant attraction sparks a romance filled with trust issues and undeniable chemistry. Easy Charm follows Gabrielle, a single mom running a historic inn, whose guarded heart softens for injured baseball star Rhys O’Shaughnessy. Easy Kisses explores Beau Boudreaux’s unexpected connection with herb shop owner Mallory, blending romance with New Orleans’ mystical vibe. Easy Nights delves into Savannah’s healing journey after an abusive past, finding love with bodyguard Ben.
Proby’s novels shine through their themes of love, resilience, and family. The Boudreaux siblings—Eli, Beau, Declan, Savannah, Charlotte, and Gabrielle—are complex, balancing successful careers with emotional vulnerabilities. The New Orleans setting, with its jazz-filled nights and Creole flavors, isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a character that infuses every story with warmth and authenticity. Proby’s style—sexy, humorous, and heartfelt—creates romances that feel both escapist and relatable, though some note her pop culture references can feel dated.
