When I am ready to relax and unwind, I like nothing more than to sit down on a comfortable piece of furniture in a quiet room and open up a good book. I immerse myself totally in the words, becoming acquainted with the characters and learning about their lives.

Acadian Waltz
By Alexandrea Weis
At thirty, Nora Kehoe is feeling pressured to settle down. On a blind date, Nora unexpectedly ends up in the emergency room where she meets Dr. John Blessing. She hopes the pragmatic Dr. Blessing can make her life complete. Then, a passionate encounter with a childhood friend changes everything.
The charismatic Jean Marc Gaspard manages the family business, Gaspard Fisheries. But rumors abound that Jean Marc is running more than seafood through the waters around Manchac Louisiana. When a family crisis sends Nora to Manchac, she is thrown headlong into the dangerous world of smugglers and swindlers. And as Jean Marc tries to protect Nora from his past, he realized he may lose her because of it.
The dark bayou waters run deep with secrets in Louisiana, and every Cajun knows how to dance the fine line between the right and wrong side of the law. But for strangers, learning the steps to staying alive in the swamps can be tricky. Life, and love, will be dependent on how well one can master the...Acadian Waltz.
~My thoughts~
Another well written book from Ms. Weis!!!! We're introduced to a young woman who is struggling to make everyone in her life happy, especially her Mother. She is pushed into dating men she has no interest in, and then meets an attractive doctor who seems to be the perfect answer to all of her prayers. However, looks can be deceiving, and she has her doubts that they should be together even though her Mother pushes the couple towards the altar. When Nora happens to meet up with an old childhood flame, the spark is still there and she starts to question what it is she really wants to do with her life.
