This review is from: No Lady and Her Tramp (Kindle Edition)
I picked this up with no real expectations. The book is definitely different. To me it is a black comedy. The story of a redneck, trailer park beautician who decides she will write a book. A steamy one at that.
Most of the story takes place in a trailer park in Grapevine Kentucky. The story is a collaboration between two authors and is far from predictable. Yes you know she is going to write her book but the shenanigans on the way to the conclusion provide the entertainment. I generally don't like books that shift voices but in this one it works. So you have the story being told by the two main characters and the villain.
The book was originally published in 2003 and apparently written in 2000 so it predates facebook, twtter, myspace, etc The plot relies heavily on the chat rooms of that time (mostly gone these days). The book also relies heavily on southern redneck humor so if you are easily offended you probably should pass this one up. While not "Fifty Shades of Gray" there are some fairly graphic sex scenes between the two main characters as well the villain abusing his wife. All in all the book for the most part is an R with a few pages of X thrown in.
I enjoyed it enough to consider other books by these authors.

I could not put this book down I could not stop giggling. I even cried at a point in this book. I hope there is more to follow.
