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.
