Abilene thinks it a mean joke when her brother signs her up as a contestant for a new reality show called Dancing with the Rednecks until she hears about the $50,000 grand prize. That kind of money would really help her Kentucky family out. Why, there might even be a little left over to finance her own dream, not that she minds waitressing. Tall and gangly, Abliene has two big left feet, and she's more than a bit intimidated by her tall, dark, and brooding celebrity dance partner. Rio Martin isn't happy about being involved in a spoof. He was hoping his appearance would be good publicity for his chain of dance studios. So the two do not get off on a good foot, but Rio is not immune to the leggy blonde who is too naive to realize she's a beauty. It's her spunky, down-home personality, though, that wins him, and the reader, over in McLane's comical and poignant modern-day rags-to-riches romance. Maria Hatton

Journal Entry 2 by Sidney1220 from McLean, Virginia USA on Tuesday, April 15, 2008

This book was so badly written that I wonder how it ever got published. The writing's amateurish, with no transition between scenes. There's no heat and no build up for the romance - one minute he's barking at her, the next minute he's kissing her. And the dialogue sounds like something straight out of those sweet valley high books I used to read as a grade schooler. The whole thing's just so..amateurish. Like a high school's english assignment rather than a polished piece of work.

And do southerners from a small town really say Good Lordy every 10 minutes? The book has an interesting concept and premise, too bad it's completed wasted here.
