4 stars – Contemporary Romance
This is a cute, fluffy, and endearing romantic romp with quirky characters and lots of Southern humor and charm. It’s a sweet, sexy, fun, breezy, enjoyable quick read that left me smiling. I just wish it was told from 3rd person POV instead of only having Jamie Lee’s 1st person POV because I would have liked more insight into Griff’s character. Still, it’s a delightful contemporary romance that goes down smooth and easy like a cool glass of sweet iced tea! This is m...more

This it the start of her Cut and Curl series, which I’ve read out of order, but really enjoyed.
In this story, we meet up with Jamie Lee Carter. She’s the daughter of the original owner of the Cut and Curl. Smart-mouthed and sassy, Jamie Lee lives her life to the fullest. Or at least as much as she can in her small hometown. That is, until a hot-shot Hollywood producer checks out Hootertown as a location for a spoof-type horror movie. Jamie Lee is taken in by Parker Carrington and seems to be cau...more

Great fluffy read, with some good country humor!
Really fun and cute romance triangle involving a dashing new stranger in town and brothers best friend turned hunkster! Jamie Lee has her hands full quite literally in some parts of this story and I loved reading when she was caught in innocent situations that looked very naughty in front of her nosy neighbors and mother.
I kept rooting for Griff, the brothers best friend turned hunkster, to come out on top because gimme a pickup truck over a Jaguar any day! There's just something I LOVE about a...more

Okay...this book started off one way and then like a good dye job...it turned into something else and you couldn't even see the original plot lines...Actually caught me off guard a bit and I like that to be surprised in a book.
Jamie Lee is cute and fun and I just love her and her BFF Macy. Parker the Hollywood interest is charming and an all around great guy...I thought there would be angst there and some self esteem issues but ... (read the book)
Griff...heart beats faster there! Thank goodness...more

If you love a good contemporary romance with a hint of Southern fiction and some humor of chick lit, you'll enjoy Luann McLane's Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots. Jamie Lee Carter, a beautician at Hooterville, is in a bind. When Parker Carrington, a Hollywood producer comes to her town to scout a location for his movie, she falls in love with him. But, for Griff Sheldon, her brother's best friend and long-time crush, he warns Jamie Lee on his type. Scorned from a past of what might've been, between G...more
Jamie Lee & Macy has a down home life~~~seems to be real life happenings. A funny, happy bunch of people living in a small area.
I read this out of order (they aren't marked as a series). I loved this book! Anything that has me laughing out loud will always get 5 stars!

I loved this book it was fun and happy a quick read.
I had such a fun time reading this book. Keeps you laughing.
Sometimes you need a simple summer romance novel and this title made me laugh
This was a very light reading book--and it was funny in many places.
Can you tell I have been off of work for a couple of weeks!
This book was also a lot of fun and a quick read. It was the first book I read by LuAnn McLane, but I will definitely be looking for more.
Oh, if you life in Atlanta Bound to be Read Books in East Atlanta has a great selection of cheap used paperbacks.

I love this book cause it's another novel so close to home and one I can definitely relate with.
From the southern drawl to the hot men and the country bars in a 6-ft town - it's more then a girl can ask for!!
I love the attitude and the lust this book brings from beginning to end. A good read for a true southern girl.

Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots pretty much solidified Luann McLane as one of my All Time Fave authors. I la-la-LOVED this book!! Jamie Lee and Griff's road to happy ever after had me laughing out loud. A totally enjoyable read!!
Fun quick read that is just like reading your journal with your best friend. I found myself yelling at the characters with my advice. Grab this book,a yummy drink, some sunscreen, and sunshine... you will be in heaven!
A love story with a few twists and turns. It has a second book to follow which I have not found at the bookstore. It may have been given a different title.
It was certainly a beach read, but I enjoyed it and want to read the next one to find out what happens with the characters

Loved this story until the very end. The ending sucked!
