Dancing Naked In Dixie Review and INT Giveaway!

Monday, June 18, 2012

Travel writer Julia Sullivan lives life in fast-forward. She jet sets to Europe and the Caribbean with barely a moment to blink or sleep. But too many mishaps and missed deadlines have Julia on the verge of being fired.
With a stern warning, and unemployment looming, she's offered one last chance to rescue her career. Julia embarks on an unlikely journey to the ‘Heart of Dixie’—Eufaula, Alabama—home to magnificent mansions, sweet tea, and the annual Pilgrimage.
Julia arrives, soon charmed by the lovely city and her handsome host, but her stay is marred by a shocking discovery. Can Julia's story save her career, Eufaula, and the annual Pilgrimage?

Goodreads Summary


When Julia leaves her town to travel to the South, she enters a new world. She has to pick up and understand certain mannerisms and adjust to how things are done in Eufaula. The reader will likely find Julia's experiences hysterical as she struggles to get her bearings in Eufaula.

Julia's character was nice enough, the reader will likely connect to her by the middle of the book. The other characters are a riot. Some have that old Southern charm while others remain Southern gentlemen. There are other characters that are true characters, making the reader laugh. Julia learns to love Eufaula and wants to fix what is threatening the small town. The town is experiencing difficulty with their historical rennovations and something seems a little underhanded. Can Julia help save Eufaula?

Readers will enjoy the mystery, intrigue, Southern charm, and slight romance that can be found in this book. Naked In Dixie is recommended to adult readers.

    Nikki - It's not really a straight up "Adult" read ... it's more flirty and fun (think Sophie Kinsella and Shopaholic, if you liked them. I read YA and adult novels ~ I hate to miss ANYTHING good :)

    Thanks for stopping by! xx, Lauren

    Thank you Joanne! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday :)

    I think the interesting thing that I'm hearing from readers is that they are surprised when they find out Eufaula is a real place!!! xx, Lauren

    Thank you so much for continuing to promote Dancing Naked in Dixie, Krystal! I'm so glad that you had a chance to read the novel.

    It is definitely sweet romance vs. hot and steamy ... but I had to leave room for that later on, right??? For book 2 and 3 ...

    xx, Lauren
