Chicken about Love - (Bama Boys) by Kaci Lane (Paperback)

About the Book

A single mom and perpetual bachelor strike up a fake relationship to ward off the gossiping grannies and sketchy singles in their small town.

Book Synopsis

I'm unemployed, recently divorced, and living with my parents. I have nowhere to go but up.

A year ago I was married and living in a wealthy neighborhood in the biggest city in Alabama. That was before my husband left me and I tucked tail and ran home to Mama. Now I'm literally banking my five-year-old daughter's future on my getting hired as a teller at the local credit union.

I may not have a college education-at least not completely-but beauty pageants, sorority functions, and Junior League events have taught me how to interview like a pro. Too bad I'm stuck driving my daddy's old Ford with no air-conditioning in the Alabama summer, which is hotter than a jalapeño's armpit.

But that's the least of my worries after I play chicken with a chicken truck and wreck Big Red.

Between the truck driver's colorful cussing and the sheriff's flirtatious questioning, I'm ready to fly the coop any way I can. That's when Tanner Nash, the biggest prankster in high school, comes out of nowhere and rescues me. He saves me and my interview, winning the role of my new bestie back in Apple Cart.

We have more in common than I ever imagined-especially when it comes to wanting to ward off all the matchmakers in Apple Cart County. A little fake romance seems like the perfect solution to both get what we want.

Review Quotes

"This book was an absolute joy to read! Tanner and Hannah's story is a sweet clean romance that was so much fun to read. It hooks you on the first page and will keep you turning the pages. I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of small-town romances. I can't wait for the next book in this series."

"If you love southern sayings, laughing and witty banter you're going to love this book! You just have to love a guy who likes kids, animals and will let a baby chick sit on his head. So far, this is my favorite of the Bama Boy series."

"Chicken About Love was a delightful funny story with not your ordinary romantic characters. Our leading lady is a single mom who was dumped by her no good husband and is forced to go back to live with her parents. Our leading man is a handsome but immature middle child who has no plans for settling down in the near future. Besides being told with a great deal of humor, it is in my favorite format of alternating first person narration. The characters are well developed and the story moves at a good pace."

"A sweet read that will have you smiling as you turn the pages. A fake relationship to stop the small-town clucking of the match makers. I found the story to be well written, easy to read and highly engaging. Great book! Well-developed story line and characters. It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention. Lots of laughs!
