Overview

Hot fling or real thing? There are no Big Easy answers in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas’s sultry series.

As far as flings go, single dad Gabe Trahan is pretty sure that Addison Sloan is his best bet. Once a month, Addison comes to New Orleans and then…It. Is. On. Until Addison returns to New York, it’s just hot, happily-no-strings-attached sex. And beignets. And jazz. But lately for Gabe, it isn’t nearly enough.

Sure, maybe Addison’s gotten a bit hooked on Gabe. After all, who can resist a guy who’s so sexy, so charming, and so…available? But maybe he’s too available for her right now. Addison’s just moved to New Orleans, and relationships are definitely off the table. Besides, guys always bail when they learn her secret: she’s a single mom.

Only Gabe’s not running. Worse, he’s thrilled. But Addison never signed up for ever-after romance, and Gabe won’t settle for anything less. Now it’s a battle of wills—and when it comes to the woman he’s falling for, Gabe isn’t above playing a little dirty.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas has been writing romances almost as long as she’s been reading them. To date, she’s written over thirty sexy, contemporary novels that have been described as “toe-curling,” “enchanting,” “steamy,” and “fun.” She adores reluctant heroes, imperfect heroines, and happily ever afters.

Erin lives in the Midwest, where she enjoys spending time with her husband (who only wants to read the sex scenes in her books), her kids (who will never read the sex scenes in her books), and her family and friends (who claim to be “shocked” by the sex scenes in her books).

Nicholas (Cashmere and Camo) pairs New Orleans native Gabe Trahan with New York restoration architect Addison Sloan in this clever, scorching contemporary. Addison and Gabe have been enjoying some touristy no-strings weekend flings, but Gabe takes them seriously even before he learns Addison has relocated to his hometown. Self-reliant Addison, however, is keeping a secret and has other practical concerns that lead her to regretfully break off their affair. Gabe feels they’re better together than apart and counters by surreptitiously inviting her into his social circle, a move that fills a strong need for Addison. Soon she acknowledges what Gabe means to her, willingly mingling her life and family with his, gaining enough confidence to give up a measure of control, and offering Gabe her help in return. This mature, richly characterized story balances intense erotic desire with emotional growth and mutual support. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

This series debut from Nicholas provides equal parts sex and sweetness as Gabe and Addison succumb to their incredible chemistry while attempting to fit the puzzle pieces of their lives together. Rarely are characters who are parents featured in the genre; it is refreshing to see Gabe balancing the ups and downs of single fatherhood with a burgeoning romance…A deliciously erotic bayou love story that readers will savor.” —Library Journal

“Sexy, charming, real and fun, Going Down Easy showcases why Nicholas is a bestselling author. If you are looking for real and touching and hot, this should definitely be your next read!” —Romantic Reads and Such
“Going Down Easy, the first book Erin Nicholas’s new Boys of the Big Easy series, was fan-freaking-tastic. The chemistry, the friendship…It was all amazing, from Gabe and Addison’s romance to the friendship between their adorable children. One of the best elements of Going Down Easy was how well the characters complimented each other. Gabe and Addison’s parenting styles and how they view life are completely different. They each bring something to the relationship that the other needs. Gabe shows Addison that it’s okay to ask for help and that it’s fun to live life a little on the edge. Meanwhile, Addison teaches Gabe that a little bit more structure never hurts. They balance each other perfectly. Plus, their chemistry? Scorching hot!” —Crystal Blogs Books
“Erin Nicholas is one of my favorite authors of contemporary romance. Going Down Easy is the first book of a new series set in New Orleans and is hot, hot, hot.” —Romancing the Book
“I loved this amazing book and Gabe and Addison were such a great couple together!!! Gabe never planned to fall for Addison, she was just someone that he saw once a month until she moved to New Orleans for good. I loved Addison because she was a hardworking mom and never expected that she could have a happy ending with Gabe once he knew her secret. Going Down Easy was a sexy romance set in the Big Easy that will leave you wanting more from these wonderful characters.” —Moonlight Rendezvous

Gabe Trahan and Addison Sloan have a pretty stellar arrangement: once a month, Addison visits New Orleans on business, and the pair explore the town, and each other, intimately. There's minimal talking and maximum sexcapades—but Gabe finds himself wanting more, much to his chagrin. Yet emotional intimacy would require sharing secrets, including the existence of Gabe's five-year-old son, and Addison doesn't seem interested in a relationship beyond the bedroom. When the two end up working in close quarters for the renovation of the Trahan brothers' bar, they will have to decide if pride and fear will prevent a happy future. This series debut from Nicholas (Cashmere and Camo) provides equal parts sex and sweetness as Gabe and Addison succumb to their incredible chemistry while attempting to fit the puzzle pieces of their lives together. Rarely are characters who are parents featured in the genre; it is refreshing to see Gabe balancing the ups and downs of single fatherhood with a burgeoning romance. VERDICT A deliciously erotic bayou love story that readers will savor.

Two single parents struggle to transition their no-strings affair into a successful relationship.Addison Sloan has been making monthly business trips to New Orleans, and on each visit, she has a sexually adventurous but emotionally safe hookup with bar owner Gabe Trahan. They don't even have each other's cellphone numbers! Gabe assumes they can turn their affair into a relationship when he learns Addison has moved to New Orleans full-time. Addison thinks Gabe will balk when he discovers she has a 5-year-old daughter, but Gabe has a 5-year-old son and he sees this coincidence as further proof that they are meant to be together. Nicholas (Cashmere and Camo, 2018, etc.) boldly starts at this transition point rather than at the beginning of their relationship, but it doesn't always pay off. Addison's decision to move herself and her daughter from New York to New Orleans is underdeveloped, and Gabe's initial reaction to her news is offensively overbearing. Addison's and Gabe's feelings about parenting, both the joys and struggles, are portrayed with refreshing honesty; but the story of how they blend their families overwhelms their romance. The New Orleans setting is full of touristy details about beignets and jazz, but it's disheartening to read a book set in this famously multicultural city that is populated with only white characters, including a scene where Gabe and Addison attend a ball at a plantation without even a glimmer of discomfort about its history.This familycentric romance sells the couple short.
