A rich tapestry of wit, grit, and humor…

On the road with two siblings, twelve-year-old Maydean and five-year-old Willie-Boy, Phoebe is out of money, out of gas and out of patience. The only things she owns in abundance are backbone and pride—neither of which she can trade for food or gas.
A collision with Gage Morgan puts Phoebe’s mission in even worse jeopardy—until Phoebe discovers Gage owns the perfect place for her clan. However, she soon discovers that Gage is the unlikeliest man in the universe to offer a helping hand.
Phoebe wields all the country smarts she owns to worm her way into Gage’s heart, but nothing works. With time running against her family, she plies one last inducement—her scarce feminine wiles

What do you like about this book:
Phoebe has assumed the care of her younger sister, Maydean and brother, Willy Boy. She is desperately searching for work to get the money to buy food for the family. As she backs out of the hiding spot she placed her truck into while she was checking out a job prospect, she hits a pickup driven by Gage, the owner of a local scrap yard. As luck would have it, her bumper came loose as a result. Gage takes the bumper as collateral until she pays him the money he says she owes him for the damage to his vehicle. Determined to retrieve her bumper, since her tag is attached to it, she makes her way to his business. She cons her way into staying at his house and eventually captures his heart. He is none too happy when he finds out how deep her con artist actions run.
This books is heartwarming and will leave you laughing until you have tears. The dialogue is superb. The Alabama dialect is very realistic. The only drawback to the book for me was the numerous curse words it contains. Sex does occur in the story, but the scenes are not graphic. I highly recommend the book to the adult reader who isn’t offended by some foul, but not vulgar, language.
