Julie Bullard is a director making a movie about people of the swamps of Louisiana, and she needs the help of the legendary Cajun Rey Tabary, aka "The Swamp Rat". Julie needed a consultant to ensure the authenticity of her movie, and Rey normally would want nothing to do with some pampered Hollywood types but a sudden influx of drugs into his swamp made him want to get close to the crew to find out who may be the link. Julie noticed the various accidents on set and suspect Rey was involved, even as they deny their attraction to each other. When there's a death nearby, trust became an issue...
Both characters and the exotic locations were described to good effect, and the plot is quite competent with blended tropes of secret identity, doubt about the other person's true purpose, the exotic blend of unknown danger vs. handsome attraction. My main problem was the pacing and the title and cover. Pacing was a bit on the slow side, and the title and cover had NOTHING to do wit the novel.
