The Callahan Brothers Trilogy

Author: Joann Ross

I picked this book up at a yard sale this past summer. For $1 it promised a lot of reading; whether it was good or bad was yet to be seen. Because I had a short-term loan from the library I didn’t get past the first story but I will continue on eventually.

Blue Bayou

Bad boy, Jake Callahan served as an undercover agent before losing his best friend in an operation in Columbia. He returned home to Louisiana and began a very successful writing career. He purchased the antebellum home of his former girlfriend. When the girlfriend, Danielle, also returns to Blue Bayou things begin to heat up. Long kept secrets are revealed but, of course, the two end up in a “happy ever after” ending.

River Road

Finn, the eldest of the Callahan brothers and an FBI Special Agent, has returned to Blue Bayou while he serves out a suspension from the FBI. As a favour to his younger brother he accepts an assignment as a bodyguard to a soap-opera star who is about to become the latest Bond girl. Boy meets girl, boy and girl dislike one another from the start, yada, yada, yada.

Magnolia Moon

Nate is the youngest of the Callahan brothers. Unlike his older siblings Nate has remained in Blue Bayou and is the mayor. He is well known in the area for his restoration work on the heritage buildings. While clearing out some old files from the sheriff’s office he comes across some very valuable stock certificates and sets out to find not only the current owner of them but also to solve a cold case – the murder of the original owner. Boy meets girl, falls in love, but the girl is less than enthusiastic until she eventually succumbs to Nate’s charms.
