Book Review: Going Down Easy by Erin Nicholas

Going Down Easy is written by Erin Nicholas and is the first instalment of the Boys of the Big Easy series. Gabe Trahan and Addison Sloan are not even the cliched friends with Benefits. Instead they meet up once a month in Gabe's bar in New Orleans and have a Night of hot sex. This has been going on for 6 months when Addison has been over from New York to work as an architect. Neither knows the other had a 5 year old child - Gabe has a son called Cooper, Addison a little girl called Stella and both are single parents.  Addison is moving to New Orleans to work there full time and so tries to break up with Gabe.

Gabe tries to persuade Addison to stay with him.  Addison and Gabe have very different parenting styles. Addison is independent Nd has no support structures and likes to be in control. Gabe lives with his mother and his whole family help him raise his son. Will they be able to successfully blend their families and have a future together?


This novel successfully combines a hot romance and the difficulties of being a single parent, highlighting the difficulties of trying to combine the two successfully.    Nicholas also successfully sets the scene for the other books in the series.


I received this book via Netgalley and Montlake Romance in exchange for a honest review.
