Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Abilene thinks it a mean joke when her brother signs her up as a contestant for a new reality show called Dancing with the Rednecks until she hears about the $50,000 grand prize. That kind of money would really help her Kentucky family out. Why, there might even be a little left over to finance her own dream, not that she minds waitressing. Tall and gangly, Abliene has two big left feet, and she's more than a bit intimidated by her tall, dark, and brooding celebrity dance partner. Rio Martin isn't happy about being involved in a spoof. He was hoping his appearance would be good publicity for his chain of dance studios. So the two do not get off on a good foot, but Rio is not immune to the leggy blonde who is too naive to realize she's a beauty. It's her spunky, down-home personality, though, that wins him, and the reader, over in McLane's comical and poignant modern-day rags-to-riches romance. Maria Hatton

5.0 out of 5 stars You will love this book., May 7, 2007
By Judy "book reader" (Cincinnati, ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Dancing Shoes and Honky Tonk Blues by LuAnn McLane is one the funniest and sexiest books of the year.

Abilene Harper has been content with her quite and somewhat boring life in small town Misty Creek, KY. When a reality shoe Dancing with the Rednecks comes to town she is shocked to find out that her younger brother has signed her up as a contestant. Abby is reluctant to compete but the prize money has her changing her mind. This money could really change her family's way of life for the better.

Abby's first look at her dance partner sends her blood pumping. There is nothing like smoldering Rio Martin in Misty Creek. Rio is not happy to have been tricked into this joke of a dance competition. But Abby's verve and sheer will have him thinking they have a shot at winning.

These two polar opposites send sparks on and off the dance floor. Every time one or the other tries to be business only their passions take over.

Dancing Shoes and Honky Tonk Blues is my favorite book by LuAnn McLane. The dance sequences and training made me feel like I was right their with the characters. This book is a delightfully funny. You will find yourself laughing out loud at the antics of the contestants and their family and friends. The chemistry between Abby and Rio just burns up the pages, makes you want to find a dance instructor of your own. Kudos.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun small town drama , May 2, 2007
Reality TV arrives in rural Misty Creek, Kentucky when a ballroom dancing contest is planned. However, most of the contestants signing on take the contest seriously, but the show's sponsors are lampooning the locals as redneck hillbillies who would not know what a ballroom looked like let alone be able to perform one the dances.

Local waitress Abby Harper was going to pass as she had no doubt that she and any other "yokel" was meant to be ridiculed. However, when she learns $50,000 is the winner's prize, she signs on although her natural reticence and two left feet make her feel more like performing clown than a dancer. Her partner is Mexico City ballroom dancing champion Rio Martin. As they rehearse, an attraction ignites even as both are irate that the hosts plan this as a big joke. Led by Rio and Abby, every dancer vows to prove that the hicks can dance with the best city slickers.

This is a fun small town drama starring a delightful seemingly opposites lead couple and an eccentric but likable support cast. The romance flows mostly on the dance floor as Rio is determined to turn Abby into the darling of the cha-cha crowd. Fans will enjoy dancing step by step with this pair and the other contestants especially since the ballroom dance is the most developed "character" with the cast being predominantly two-step deep.

3.0 out of 5 stars gahhhh., March 19, 2009
Ok so "comedy channel" comes to her small town to film a spoof dancing show 'dancing with rednecks', only the joke show actually turns good as they have real talent and it becomes wildly popular. Of course our hero wasn't hot on this at all to begin with - he and the other instructors are being well paid but they thought it was a serious competition, not a spoof.

ANYHOW- This only gets 3 stars from me because I left this book feeling a little more stupid for having read it. The ending is so squeaky perfect that it made me gag. No, really. The scenes for the most part are OK, but no real strong interaction, connections, or meaning... at least not for me. So much time was talked about costumes and dancing, I wish the author had spent more time on the relationships and character building. Also, if she used the words boobies one more time I swore I'd huck this book out the window. Yes, I think my 3 stars is generous.

If you're really into ballroom dancing and reality shows perhaps you'll like this one better than me.
