5.0 out of 5 stars Sassy Hot Keeper Aug 25 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a bit different as it is written in the first person, it is cleverly weaved and the story is written from Jamie Lee Carter's view point, but with all the heat and sizzle you have come to expect in LuAnn's stories.

Jamie Lee is a hairdresser and owns Cut & Curl with her best friend Macy McCoy. When Parker Carrington, a Hollywood producer, arrives in town scouting for locations for his upcoming movie, he puts the small town of Hootertown, Kentucky at the head of the list of prospects. Parker requests Jamie Lee, who has caught his eye and interest as well, to show him around the town and surrounding area. As in all small towns this sets off the healthy and thriving gossip mill as they are seen around town. With the arrival of Parker to town, Jamie Lee and Macy make a pact to make this summer one to remember, as they both are in unrequited love positions. Jamie Lee has always had a crush on Griff Sheldon, who is her brother Luke's best friend, but he only sees her as a friend and little sister of his friend. So she decides that it time to move on with her life.

Griff doesn't like Parker being around Jamie Lee, as he can see the interest that Parker has in Jamie Lee and it does strange things to him. Could it be jealousy that feeling in the pit of his stomach or is going to be too late when he finally acknowledges what he has been ignoring all these years This is a fun, refreshing read that has lots of heat, sparks, sass and good old fashion charm. The secondary characters only add to this well rounded sizzling romance which was a delight to read and keeps you wondering who in the end will win.. I recommend you pick up this book and find out for yourself............as for Macy and her love interest well that is another story.........

5.0 out of 5 stars Really charming read! Aug 2 2006
By Naliny D. Negron - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jamie Lee Carter is a Southern Belle from the dark roots on her hair to her bare feet. She has been secretly in love with her brother best friend all her life but the only way that Griff Sheldon sees her is as her brother little sister, or so she thinks. That is why when she makes a pact with her best friend to "spice up her love life" and Hollywood producer Parker Carrington shows in Hootertown she sees the perfect chance to fulfill her pact. That's when things start getting interesting, with a little competition and jealousy. This is a small town romance and in this little town everything is possible. LuAnn McLane has mastered a romantic comedy full of charm and sass! The characters are real, refreshing and so charming! This is another favorite, she did a great job in combining the heat, sparks and sexiness of a romance with the charm and sass of a comedy. I couldn't put this book down, another page turner you can't miss! There is an excerpt for her next book on this series and I can hardly wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars A laugh out loud and hot romance Aug 27 2006
By Judy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots is a knock your socks off, laugh out loud good time.

Hair stylist Jamie Lee Carter is just happy with her life in small town Hootertown, Ky. But something is missing. Next thing she knows big time Hollywood producer Parker Carrington is driving into town in his shiny Jag. Is Parker the bit of excitement she needs or has it been under her now all along with hometown boy Griff Sheldon? Jamie Lee is so sure at first and she makes a pack with her best friend Macy to go for what they want this summer.

Jamie Lee and Griff's miscommunication sets off some of the funniest and sexiest scenes in print. Their banter is at times so funny and at others so moving.

LuAnn McLane's Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots will make you root for that small town girl to get her happy ever after. Looking forward to Macy's story, which I know will be as much fun and sexy as this book was to read.

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.
