Lovin' a Good Ol' Boy

by Mary Kay McComas

Big city girl Anne Hunnicut is in Webster, Kentucky for one reason: to shut down the textile mill. When her rental car breaks down in the backwoods, the last person she expected to come to her rescue was rugged country boy Buck LaSalle – the ringleader of the union workers determined to keep the mill open and the town alive and prosperous.

Sparks fly between Anne and Buck – but is the issue of the mill closing going to stand between them? Anne’s desire for a home spurs an understanding and empathy for Buck and the people of Webster, but questions whether it’s enough to give up her big city career ambitions. Can a big city girl find love, security, and new aspirations for her life with a small town guy?

Beautiful story. I liked Buck and Anne from the start. Having fallen for a good ol' boy myself I could appreciate many of the things talked about in this book. I loved how they loved each other. Definitely worth the time if you have a chance to read it - well written and beautiful story.

A good woman meets a good man and sparks fly.
Anne Hunnicut, ambitious corporate executive, has been sent from HQ to close down their textile factory in Webster Kentucky.
It's the biggest employer in the area and thousands will lose their job.
Leading the workers in their efforts to stop the closure is Buck LaSalle.
He's a good ol' boy (the difference between good ol' boys and rednecks is hilariously explained) and smart as a whip.
Even though it is obvious from the start where it will end up “Lovin' a Good Ol' Boy” is nicely written with a deft emotional touch.
If you like light romance, strong women and manly men who love with a passion you'll enjoy it.
Where it slightly falls down is that it is a story that has been written many, many times, so much so that it takes an exceptional novel to stand out.
3 Stars.
