I enjoyed the first book dreaming southern so much, I rushed to buy this one. I enjoyed some parts of this one mostly I found it boring, I was rather glad when it ended not a good sign.

I read Dreaming Southern, which is Book 1 of this series, and Southern Belles. They are excellent and keep you guessing and entertained. I would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys reading about life in the south and at the same time, wants to be thrilled with plots and funny stories, all in the same book. These books take you cross country and are full of Hollywood glamour and down home southern happenings.

with similies...while they are original, one in every two sentences is a bit much.....the characters are caricatures and come off as stupid and hillbilly-like.....i would be offended if i was from KY

I'm Southern and love books about Southern women, but this book left me irritated. It started well then went downhill from there. The plot jumps around so much, it's difficult to figure out where you are in timeline or with which character. I skimmed the last few chapters just so I could say I finished it. This is one of the few books I've ever read in which I didn't like ANY of the characters. It's poorly written; Ms. Bruckheimer cannot seem to make her characters and scenes come alive without use of similes. The result is a work that reads as if written by a high school sophomore. I was disappointed!

I thought the author tried too hard to be funny and it just wasn't working for me. It kind of reminded me of a slapstick movie (I know some people love that stuff but not me).

This was chosen as a book in the book club I attend. I really don't think I would have finished it otherwise.

I am not "Southern" but if I was, I would be insulted by how so many of the characters were portrayed (complete imbeciles). I can't believe that the people in Kentucky or Tenessee are that dumb.
