She Drives Me Crazy

When she was good, she was very, very good. . .
When Emma Frasier returns home to joyful, Georgia, she's greeted with the kinds of winks and lusty grins one might offer. . .an adult film star?
When Emma Frasier returns home to joyful, Georgia, she's greeted with the kinds of winks and lusty grins one might offer. . .an adult film star?
But when she was bad. . .
Thanks to small-town gossip and citizens who clearly need to get a life, Joyful's residents think Emma Jean is the "famous star" building a strip club in town. And that her barely concealed. . .uh, attributes are the ones gracing the new interstate billboard.
She was better.
As if being taken for a blue movie queen isn't rattling enough, there's Johnny Walker, the local bad boy turned good-a man who tempts Emma to be just as wild and wicked as Joyful thinks she is.

This is the first book that I've read from this author and by far it didn't disappoint. The book was so well written and comparable to author's Jennifer Crusie or Carly Phillips. The book flowed well and it really drew you into the characters. The book had some sensual parts along with a few spots that got me laughing out loud. I'll be picking up the next book of her's in this series.

This was a fun book, with "I Love Lucy" kind of slapstick humor, updated for current times with lots of sex. It read kind of slowly, with lots of crazy misunderstandings centered around the community mistaking Emma for a porn star without her realizing it, and twisting the meaning of everything she innocently said into something absurdly sexual. I think probably would have been even better (more interesting and easy to stick with) had it been a shorter book with some of this craziness editted out.
It took a while to get to the actual substance of the story and sort out all the issues between Emma, Johnny and the misuse of her grandma's pecan orchard. Both characters were very likeable, if only they communicated better and more directly. Johnny was someone I warmed up to from the very first page.
Around page 190-200, there was one very sensual "cooling-off in front of the air-conditioner" scene was just WOW!

A seductive, lazy Southern setting combined with the reallistic modern love & life problems of todays women make this story. Don't get me wrong it's not a sappy story you see Valerie Burtonelli in. It's edgy and witty with plenty of steam generated by the main characters Emma Jean and Johnny.
Because of a misplaced assumption in the local gossip grapevine, everyone in Joyful, GA assumes Emma Jean is a porn star whose just returned to there town after a long absense. It doesn't hurt that she left after an embarrassing nudity incident with the local bad boy heart throb. Blissfully unaware of the rumors, Emma Jean only ends up feeding the flames of embarrassment through her own behavior, especially when she's around Johnny Walker.And every time Johnny sees her he just wants to grab her and bite her in unmentionable places.
Combined with several who done it mysteries, a cast of sparky secondary characters, and an interesting new idea on how to eat pie this book is a definite winner. Look for the next book in this series in September!

Pecan pie, golden butterflies, and wild Walker men combined make for one heck of a sexy read. When Emma Jean Frasier returns to Joyful, Georgia, the entire universe begins to tilt on its axis for the citizens of the nosy little town. The dialogue in this book is so perfectly in sync with the way I envisioned each character, that I was sad to finish the book. I just didn't want to walk away from a couple as fun as this one. This book reads the way my girlfriends and I talk. It's brash and modern. Emma Jean is a woman we'd all like to have on our speed dial, and of course any woman would be lucky to have a carbon copy of Johnny Walker about. Nick's story hits shelves in September '05, and you can BET I'll be rushing to get my copy.
