How Chiasson Began
Donna Grant, a New York Times bestselling author, drew inspiration for the Chiasson series from her upbringing near the Texas-Louisiana border, steeped in Cajun culture. Fascinated by the region’s folklore and vibrant traditions, she crafted a series that brings the bayou to life. Launched in 2014 with Wild Fever, Chiasson was designed as a series of novellas—short but packed with the emotional depth of full-length novels. Grant’s goal? To create a world where readers could feel the humid air, hear the accordion’s wail, and fall for heroes as bold as the land they protect.
The Heart of Chiasson
The Chiasson series spans five novellas, each centered on a Chiasson brother facing supernatural threats and unexpected love. In Wild Fever, Vincent Chiasson reconnects with Olivia Breaux, who returns to Crowley, Louisiana, only to become a target of a deadly creature. Wild Dream follows Ava Ledet, haunted by her past, as she teams up with hunter Lincoln to survive a sinister force. Wild Need introduces Davena Arcineaux, stalked by evil, and Beau Chiasson, who fights to protect her. Finally, Wild Flame and Wild Rapture wrap up the series with Christian and Riley’s battles against dark forces, blending romance with high-stakes action.
Themes of family, loyalty, and love pulse through the series, set against a richly drawn Cajun backdrop. The bayou isn’t just a setting—it’s a character, with its murky waters and haunting melodies shaping every story. Grant’s novellas are fast-paced, blending voodoo, werewolves, and demons with steamy romance that feels both timeless and fresh. Fans praise the series for making every page feel like a full novel, with no detail spared.
Why Chiasson Resonates
Despite being novellas, the Chiasson series has carved a niche in paranormal romance, enchanting readers with its immersive world and relatable characters. Its focus on Cajun culture—complete with references to jambalaya, gumbo, and French melodies—offers a refreshing twist in a genre often dominated by urban settings. The series’ passionate fanbase eagerly awaited each release, with Wild Rapture sparking buzz for its gripping finale. Chiasson’s blend of heart, heat, and heritage has made it a standout, proving that short stories can leave a lasting impact.
