It sounded fun and charming, and it satisfied a challenge. But the reality is that it is poorly written, staid and a chore to get through. I didn’t care about any of the characters. The town is only a cardboard cutout. The women were downright ridiculous. The plot goes nowhere fast and then sits there. The big “secret” isn’t much of one and is tied up far too neatly. In what I can only assume is an effort to make this a romantic story, every once in a while the author throws in a little sex scene. His attempts at humor – the Miss Dixie Floozy contest? Really? – are anything but. Oh, well, at least it was a fast read. Dalby apparently has fans, however, because there are multiple books in this series. I won’t be wasting time on any of them.

HTML:You??re invited. . . To the charming Delta town of Second Creek, Mississippi, known for its chatty citizens, unusual weather phenomena, and elegant ballroom dancing in the most unlikely places. Laurie Lepanto is on the horns of a dilemma. For generations, the Piggly Wiggly has been Second Creek??s community center and town hall, and has even seen a little romance blossom in its aisles. But thanks to the new MegaMart across town, the Piggly Wiggly??s owner, confirmed bachelor Hale ??Mr. Choppy? Dunbar, may be forced to close this small-town landmark. To save the Piggly Wiggly, Laurie enlists her fellow ??Nitwitts,? a formidable array of the town??s most influential ladies. The Nitwitts are hopelessly devoted to the Piggly Wiggly, and are determined to help in any way possible. Laurie??s plan, however, needs one more person: the town??s most eligible silver fox, Powell Hampton, a handsome widower and former ballroom dance instructor. For two hours a week, Powell will waltz??or foxtrot, or tango??at the Piggly Wiggly with Second Creek??s ladies while the salesclerks do their shopping for them. In a town like Second Creek, where everyone knows everyone, waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly soon becomes the town??s most festive event, even offering Mr. Choppy the chance to shed the weight of his past. And after a few turns around the floor with the charming Powell, Laurie begins to make p No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

When the grocery store in a small southern town is threatened by a big-box newcomer, a group of feisty widows decides to come to the rescue. It's pretty predictable stuff, and even the mild "twist" towards the end has been repeatedly telegraphed.
The one thing that confuses this reviewer is why a small town in the middle of the Bible Belt would host a "Delta Floozy" contest, with participants vying for the title of tackiest streetwalker. (
