Sweet Home ... Well... Er... Georgia. This was a sweet and fun yet angsty look at small town Southern life mostly through the eyes of a woman who was raised as a damned Yankee. Being a native Georgian and actually having lived in Leesburg - home of Luke Bryan, Buster Posey, and Phillip Phillips and County Seat of Lee County, where the *real* Smithville, Georgia is located - I can testify personally that the small town life depicted here is pretty damn realistic. (And if you can't tell from the pair of D's I've already used, I can also testify from the side of being a bit of a black sheep/ outsider in these realms, despite arguably having a *deeper* connection to Southern History than many I've encountered in these real-life small Southern towns. ;) )

But you're not reading this book for reality. You're reading it for hilarity. And if you like the style of Southern rom-com ala Reese Witherspoon's Sweet Home Alabama, you're going to enjoy this tale. It's got plenty of fish out of water hilarity as this Yankee tries to learn Southern speech and customs. It's got the crazy old lady hilarity. It's got the zaniness of various family / friends / neighbors oddballs and their connections. And yes, it has a bit of heat (though nothing more than heavy kissing "on screen", for those that care about such things - either direction) and a lot of savory.

Overall, a solid "homemade" jam that has a deeper profile than many might expect, but hits all the notes it has to hit to be beloved by many who appreciate what it is. Very much recommended.

I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I fell in love with this book and the ensemble of crazy, quirky but lovable characters. I laughed out loud at the first sentence in this book, Andie has yet again overdone the partying and finds herself once again in a jam! Her guardian angel/protector Tinsley comes to her aid but this time her life is about to change, for the better? I thought so! Did Andie? Absolutely not! What unfolds is a laugh out loud tale of a small southern town full of characters that I wanted to meet. Andie finds out about true friendship and love. Love? Yes her love interest Gunnar-what a name- is hot , hot , hot! Who in her right mind coulkd resist him? It is not smooth sailing for Andie and Gunnar , there are some hilarious scenes and some  steamy ones as well. In A Jam is what Andie finds herself in many times in this book.

I devoured this in one sitting and was actually bummed when I finished this story. I want more of these characters and I am hoping for a sequel so fingers crossed, the author will write a story about Mel and Regina, Andies' new found friends.This review was originally posted on My Fiction Obsession
