Small town southern good ol' boys vs big city northerner women - It is perhaps a testament to Stephanie Bond's writing skill that she manages to tip toe her way through this minefield of clichéd stereotypes managing to stay just this side of humorous without ever getting overly offensive.
Anyway, men rebuilding a tornado ravaged abandoned town are getting awfully hormonal with no release (read between the lines) in sight. So they place an ad in a recession ravaged northern city's paper asking for some .... well companionship I guess .... because to tell you the truth other than their much sought after vaginae, it really isn't quite clear what all these northern woman are doing there. But what is clear is that they are bossy, opinionated, and so ill suited for the "Southern" lifestyle (some of them don't even eat meat!) that you could practically make a sitcom out of this plot. Hey, maybe Stephanie Bond is hoping to sell her second tv pilot.
Along for the ride comes Doctor Nikki Salinger, who is running away from her own disaster of a failed engagement to a total citified northern boy schmuck. She immediately runs up against of block of "southern male stubbornness" when all the Good Ol' Boys of the town are aghast at the thought of an educated woman doctor and prefer instead to have their aches and pains treated by some local who wraps infected toes in bacon.
yes really.
And yes really, this book does supposedly take place in current times - even though poor Nikki does have to climb to the top of the water tower to get cell phone reception every time she wants to check her voicemail.
Then there's looovvvveeeee in the air because even though Nikki is educated, prickly and not as pretty as all the other women, there's just something about her that catches the fancy of Porter Armstrong.
It's almost impossible to read this book without humming the theme song from Dukes of Hazard although Petticoat Junction might be a good alternative.
Oh it's summer. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. LOL
