He's No Prince Charming is wonderful, October 7, 2009
This review is from: He's No Prince Charming (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)
He's No Prince Charming by LuAnn McLane is another sexy southern charm of a story.
Dakota Dunn was America's Teen Pop princess. She had the world at her fingertips and was living the high life. But that was when she was sixteen, now she is 25 and has lost her direction. She heads home to Tenn. back to her families marina and fishing retreat. Dakota is hoping the quiet country setting will rejuvenate her and kick start her song writing.
Trace Coleman a former bull-riding champion who had to retire do to injuries. He has been managing the marina, etc for the Dunn family for the last couple of years. He isn't happy that Dakota Dunn the actual owner is back in town. Trace likes things as they have been, quiet and serene. Dakota Dunn sure isn't either of those things.
Dakota finds herself drawn to sexy Trace. Though he is a brooding man, there is something about him that Dakota finds intriguing. Even when she tries to give Trace some space she finds herself in another pickle that Trace is there again to witness.
Trace has been licking his wounds since his injury. Even his close friends in town haven't been able to get him out of his shell. But this feisty Dakota has him running all over town trying to keep her safe.
He's No Prince Charming is a fun filled sexy ride. Dakota and Trace both have major package to work through but they do it with southern flair. The secondary romance of Grady and Sierra is a delight as well. LuAnn McLane does southern romance with flair and delicious sexy appeal. You can't go wrong with reading this book.

5 Hearts from TRS!, October 26, 2009
This review is from: He's No Prince Charming (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)
"I loved all the aspects of this story. It was truly a great romance, with the imperfect people and the fairy tale romantic sacrifices people make in the name of love. Dakota was such a real personality, with southern charm and genuine niceness even though she left her roots to chase her dream. I loved reading about her life and how she was ready to make changes just for herself for a change. Trace is such a likable hero. He's certainly not perfect and has problems from his own washed up career. Together they teach each about what is really important in life and learn that lesson for themselves as they get to know each other. I really liked how the book was written so we get the perspective from the different characters. Sierra and Grady make great secondary characters and add to the humor of the story. This book made me laugh out loud at the antics, sigh at the intense romance developing between the characters, and warmed my heart at the friendships developing between all of them." - Lisa Freeman

Boring, October 26, 2009
This review is from: He's No Prince Charming (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was very excited to finally receive this book and even put off reading it for a few days to finish the other books i had already to read.. I will definitely try another LuAnn McLane book since I like her, but this book is definitely one you can put down and forget about or choose to never pick up again, although I did finish it after four days of picking it up and putting it back down.. I even chose to watch football over reading this book and that in itself tells you how boring this book was..
I will give it some props though, it started off with so much promise.. It had me laughing out loud the first 50 (give or take a few) pages, until after she first met the other woman in the camp.. After that boring started to set in.. It seemed like even LuAnn wanted the book to end then..
The lead man was disformed due to an accident and seemed like he was going to need some help to come back to the real world and get over thinking he looked like a monster, but no it didn't take but a few pages to recover from that.. Then we have the washed up pop princess who is going to become edgy and pick up her guitar and we are going to get this new edgyness from her, well all I have to say about that is that she's pretty good at procrastinating because I don't remember when that guitar ever came out.. The secondary characters were just as boring in their hookup.. Sienna was just one of the boys till she puts on some makeup then all the sudden her and her crush/badboy Grady are hitting the sheets or I should say trying not to hit the sheets of course..
I don't know what book everyone else read but this was a real snoozer to me.. Even though I will give it a star for making me laugh out loud in the beginning.. Would I recommend this book to others, I would have to say no, wait for her next book and hope she does better..
