Product Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag mixes mystery and romance in this moving classic novel of a missing woman and the search that brings together the unlikeliest of lovers.…
She was a blond goddess, a box office megastar. Every woman wanted to be her; every man wanted to bed her. But over a year ago Devon Stafford vanished without a trace. As a biographer, Jake Gannon had taught himself to follow the clues of a person’s life story like a detective. As an ex-Marine, he was accustomed to being firmly in control. But when his car died in a little town called Mare’s Nest on the Carolina coast, he had to admit he’d come to a dead end.
There he met a .38-toting tow-truck driver named Dixie La Fontaine. She was no celebrity, but Dixie had an irresistible sex appeal all her own. What did this down-to-earth woman know about a missing movie star? Surprisingly, quite a lot. And Jake was going to uncover it all…if Dixie didn’t end up shooting him first.

Junk Romance,
This review is from: Heart of Dixie (Mass Market Paperback)
I read Alibi Man by Tami Hoag and thought that it was enjoyable light reading. This book is just a harlequin romance. Not very original and not very well written. I gave it one star, because I think you have to, but I wouldn't give this book any stars. Only got 1/2way through it and it is now on its way to the 2nd hand book-store.

An Early Hoag Favorite,
By JM - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heart of Dixie (Mass Market Paperback)
Heart of Dixie captures the phenomenon of a beloved Hollywood starlett Devon Stafford, whose final role is an astonishing disappearing act. On the hunt for this manufactured actress, biographer Jake Gannon breaks down in his precious Porsche along the beautiful Carolina coast. Stranded and mechanically incompetent, the nearest town of Mare's Nest dispatches Dixie La Fontaine, a captivating poficient towtruck driver to the rescue. The dapper metropolitan is shocked by her female presence and expertise not to mention awestruck by her incredible natural beauty.Many humorous altercations break out followed by escalating sensual innuendo as Gannon is brought back to quaint little Mare's Nest. The lead and local characters are well seasoned and vividly developed. You can feel yourself sitting in a booth at the Magnolia Bar tasting the local flavors. All the meanwhile a tumultous romance develops between Gannon and La Fontaine. While falling madly in love for each other, the guilt is mounting from both Jack and Dixie as they are each harboring a secret from one another. While Heart of Dixie lacks the intensity and depth of my top Hoag favorites Cry Wolf and Lucky's Lady, it is still an excellent read. A very quick read at that. I completed this one within a few hours in two nights. The beautiful scenery and down to earth atmosphere gives you that home sweet home yearning. As a desert girl I long for the shoreline, so a romantic story like this is a treasured escape. Moreover, the ending is entirely worth reading the book for! A brilliantly beautiful finale to this lovestory to tug at your heartstrings. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Heart of Dixie,
By Mashawn Mickels "CO-Owner & President of SBS ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heart of Dixie (Mass Market Paperback)
Tami Hoag romance novel "Heart Of Dixie" was a story of a Hollywood start who wants out of the limelight. Devon was one of those stars that everyone wanted to be like and be with. Being the 'it' girl ended up getting her friend killed. Because of that she deicdes to move and disappears from the scene. Then there's Jake who's trying to write her biography. His car stops in a small town and meets Dixie. There a story of romance and mystery begans to unfold. To keep from telling you the ending I will only say this, it's a nice plot and story. Go read it!!!

Cute but no depth,
By C. Gatto "Love, Life and my Kindle" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Cute story the characters are sweet, but very predictable. Interesting to see where Tami Hoag has come from and to see how much she has grown as an author. Not my favorite of her early romances, but it was light hearted and a quick read.
