 I Just Loved This Book! Feb 29, 2008
I just want to wrap myself up in this book like a blanket and cuddle up on a sofa. It is just such a feel good book for me! Maybe because I was raised in the south, maybe because I was raised with 3 brothers, but I totally understood the lingo and the stupid Griff comments. Some of my best boyfriends, including my husband, were men that I was sure either hated me or were not aware that I had girl parts because they so completely ignored them and me because of either my brothers and large father or because I was dating someone they knew! And then suddenly they would declare their undying love for me--usually with the help of some liquid courage-- and I would be totally flabbergasted because I had no idea. I think it must be a Southern thing that men treat you like a sister or a buddy or something even when they like you. It's like in elementary school, when the more they pick on you the more they like you. Obviously they are retarded........... Anyway, I loved it and I totally loved the misdirection. Thinking Parker was the one possibly, then realizing that Grif was. Totally surprised! I loved it. It was such a different turn from the usual romance and I really really liked it! Kind of like real life :) I emailed the author immediately and practically demanded the cell phone number for Macy so I could get the scoop on her and Luke from the next book. Sadly, I think these people are real, I bought so much into the characters. So, I happen to think she's great at drawing a picture of a place, people, and characters and I TOTALLY loved this book! Can't wait for Macy and Luke's story!

 Something is missing Jan 27, 2008
This is the second Luanne Mclane book I have read the first being Dancing Shoes.... I liked that one although there was something about it that bugged me and I couldn't get my finger on it. With this one I figured it out. While I liked the Southern girl references, and it was refreshing to have characters, especially the hero not being a millionaire, Jamie Lee's sometimes immature behavior and words after awhile really bug me. "My boobies"?!! I mean, come on---she is supposed to be 26 years old, not arrested at 13. I do have to agree that the romantic "hero" Griff is very hard to understand and to like. I spent more time being mad at him especially after tearing up when Jamie reveals her lifelong feelings for him but convinces him to leave. I did like Parker better but he is a shell of a person too. In summary, the first person perspective doesn't bother me so much, but in both of these books Luanne doesn't get us into the minds of the men and that is sadly lacking. Other authors do it much better. Perhaps she can shift back and forth between male and female characters in the first person. I am not sure I am going to read any more of her books--except through the library. They are pleasant but not noteworthy.
Dark Roots Jan 18, 2008
Jamie Lee Carter was born and raised in Hooterville, Kentucky and is happy to be a country girl. Jamie Lee isn't happy that her brother's best friend, Griff Sheldon, refuses to see her as a grown woman. She's loved him for as long as she can remember but to him she's always been his best friend's little sister. But, things suddenly change when sexy movie producer, Parker Carrington, comes to town looking for a place to film his next movie. Before long Parker and Jamie Lee are spending time together, a lot of time, and Griff is not happy. What's a girl to do when the man she's loved forever is jealous of the new man in her life?
I have to be honest and say that Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots sat on my bookshelf for two months before I picked it up. I can't believe I wasted all that time! Luann McLane hooked me from chapter one and left me crying for the next book, which will feature Jamie Lee's brother. Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots is a whole lot of sexy fun!

 Terrible Aug 07, 2007
I couldn't get past the first few pages. Written in the first person present tense it read like something for an elementary school student. I bought this and one other of hers on the basis of the Amazon reviews. The second one was just as bad as this one. What a waste of money.
