Synopsis
The happiest day of Payton Lambert's life was the
day she graduated high school and watched Bald Knob, Kentucky get smaller and
smaller in her rearview mirror. She wanted more for her life than a tiny town
where everyone knows your business and you can’t find a decent cup of coffee
for at least forty miles. Twelve years later, an unexpected phone call in the
middle of the night has her packing up her life in Chicago and racing back home
to the one person she ever regretted leaving behind.
Upon her return, she sees that Leo Hudson, the scrawny boy who followed Payton
around like a puppy and could recite cow insemination facts in his sleep, is
long gone. Leo is still hot on her heels, but now he's wearing a sheriff badge
and dead set on solving a murder that may or may not involve Payton...along
with half the town. In a place where the biggest crime happened the day someone
kicked a few of his cows, people are pointing fingers, rumors are spreading
like wildfire, and Payton swears she's only making out with the sweet-talking, studly
sheriff to distract him from the secrets she's keeping.
When you've been tased, peed on by a yippy dog named Bo Jangles, and can't stop
picturing what Sheriff Hudson looks like naked, it will be a tough job making
everyone agree that...Jed had to die.
Review
This book was full of fun, witty characters that will have you in stiches while trying to solve a murder.
Sounds different, huh?!
Well, have you ever heard the song Goodbye Earl?
If so, this is like that song made into a book...only with a blueberry pie instead of black eyed peas;)
Payton is a successful coffee shop owner, making a name of herself in Chicago with her friend, Bettie.
Then she gets a phone call that changes everything.
Her best friend, Emma Jo, from back home in Bald Knob, Kentucky needs her help and she's just the woman for the job!
Twelve years have gone by since she's been home, and boy, it hasn't changed one bit...except for one thing, or person rather, and not to mention a murder the day she comes home.
"I knew if I saw the slightest hint that you were going to crumble or I got close enough to touch you, I'd never be able to stop myself from doing what I've been dreaming about for twelve years."
"And what's that?"
"Kiss you until you forget about any other man who ever kissed you before, and ruin you for any man that comes after."
This book keeps you on your toes in wondering what's the story behind the murder of Jed.
And why does the whole town blame Payton?!
When you're not laughing at the crazy ways of Payton, Emma Jo, and Bettie, you are swooning like crazy over the nerd-to-stud sheriff, Leo.
I mean, lawd!
"Its not going to work."
"What's not going to work?"
"This little seduction scene you've got going on. I'm immune to your charms."
"Twelve years of fantasies...You taste better than I ever imagined."
This story was laugh out loud funny,
hot and sexy,
and full of suspensful moments that leave you wondering...who killed Jed?!
Get ready to not be able to put this book down!!
One of my favorite reads this year!!
"Boy, it sure is nice being back home..."
