Trick My Truck But Don't Mess with My Heart

Candie Montgomery has returned home to Pinewood, Kentucky. Pinewood is so small that everyone knows everyone else as well as their business. So when news that Candie's sister, Sarah and her finance, Nick have broken up, because Candie ends up being the other woman; everyone in town starts shunning her. Candie is so chocked that she would ever be the other women, especially to her own sister. Besides it's a little hard to break up anyone when Candie has been living in Chicago for the past two years. Nick and Candie are really close friends. Candie has thought about Nick as someone other then just a friend. Candie has to find a way to put the rumors to rest...fast. Candie comes up with the idea to have someone play her boyfriend but whom and where is she going to find someone willing to play the part? Tommy Tucker is the town's heartbreaker. Tommy is easy on the eyes but has the reputation of being a player. When Tommy hears that Candie needs someone to play her boyfriend, he agrees. Candie now has a boyfriend but is it Nick her heart desires? Oh my gosh, Candie and her sister Sarah are so funny. The adventures they get themselves into are priceless but than you throw in the antics and comments they make and you have pure magic. Candie just goes to show you that you can take the girl out of the county but you can't get the county out of the girl. I love the fact that the male leads always represent a hunky, male county singer. This time it was Keith Urban in the form of Tommy Tucker. Also another thing I love about these books is the titles like...Trick My Truck but Don't Mess with My Heart or A Little Less Talk and A Lot More Action. Southern comedies are Luann McLane's specialty. She serves her books up just right with a plate of humor, romance and a good old time.

I really enjoy Luann's writing style and this book didn't disappoint me! I liked the story, I enjoyed the characters and I liked the ending. While my favorite is still DARK ROOTS AND COWBOY BOOTS and I'm desperately waiting for Macy's story which is her next book out in July, I have to say that this book made the waiting easier :) I just can't hellp but smile when I read one of her books, LOL at parts, and since that's what I read them for, then they do their job by me!! These books always make me want to grab a snack, some sweet tea, pile into the recliner with pillows and a blanket and settle in for a good read until I finish it! A great escape :)

I'm glad I just happened to see this book in the bookstore. I was desperate for something to read during my downtime at work and this definitly did the trick. It is a "chick lit" book of sorts. I wound never have read anything like this, but sure am glad I did. Now my co-workers want to read it. Ths is the first book by this author I have read, but not for long! It is definity worth adding to your own bookshelf!

Candie Montgomery puts her fast paced life in Chicago on hold to help her family is small town Pinewood, Ky. Candie's dads heart attack has put the family's used car business in jeopardy. Her first few minutes in town are confusing, why is no one waving back at her? She is shocked to find out that the is the other woman in her twin sisters failed engagement. More shocking is Candie has been out of town for two years. So what is up she wonders. Candie decides she needs a boyfriend ASAP. Tommy Tucker offers to help out. Candie thought it would be simple having a pretend boyfriend. But one pretend kiss changes all of that for her. Added to this hometown mix is Candie and her Twin Sarah trying to revive the family business by having Sarah's ex fiance tricking out some trucks. Trick My Truck is an endearing light hearted romance. The characters are hot and spicy and feel like long lost friends. Candie's romance with Tommy will steam up your cold winter nights. The secondary romance of Sarah and Nick is explosive as well as endearing. I laughed out loud so many times during this book. It was a joy to read from the first page. Looking forward to the next book by this author.

When Candie Montgomery returns home to Kentucky in an attempt to save her family's floundering used car business during her father's medical crisis, she is met by cold shoulders everywhere she goes in her small hometown. Turns out that everyone blames her for the earlier broken engagement of her twin sister, Sarah. Although she can't comprehend just how this misunderstanding came to be, she decides that she needs a "pretend" boyfriend to fool the townspeople and take the chill off; the luscious Tommy Tucker is quick to volunteer for the job. Candie is thrilled to have his help, but when his pretend kisses get progressively more intense, she begins to wonder who is actually being fooled. Tommy makes her feel beautiful and sexy, not the norm for Candie who has always felt that Sarah was the more beautiful twin. Candie and Tommy are incredibly fun characters. The sisterly relationship of Candie and Sarah is especially sweet and realistically written, with each having her own insecurities and vulnerabilities. Secondary characters are a charming addition and Sarah's romance is a nice bonus. LuAnn McLane has proven that she is capable of first person writing, and this book is no exception. Candie's thoughts and actions are experienced by readers first-hand and make this story come to life and shine.
