Leelee has moved back to Memphis after about a year away in Vermont. Her husband left her after talking her into the move. Just as she started to fall for Pete, she got the chance to move home and she jumped on it.

Now she’s back with her best friends and her mother figure Kissie.

She starts work at a radio job which introduces some entertaining storylines when she meets some famous musicians.

It took me awhile to get into it. But I enjoyed it. I think the portions of the story at the radio station, with Kissie and with her best friends were my favorite parts.

I knew this was book two, I didn’t read book one because I didn’t want to read about her dog dying. And I probably won’t read book three. But I enjoyed this as a stand-alone. ( )

***Please Note: I received this book for free from Goodreads***

When I started this, I was worried that I might be missing out, since this is a sequel and I hadn't read the first book, but there was no need to worry. This book is very easygoing, and explains throughout with clear references to events in the first novel. So, while I may not have every detail, I had enough to get me through.

This book was a delightful read. It had all the southern charm you would expect, as well as good amounts of laughter to go around. The cast of characters is well rounded, a nice mix of prim and proper, nice, and downright jerks.

It's interesting to see all the change that Leelee goes through and handles quite well. She has her moments of breakdown, but for the most part she is a strong, determined woman. And her friends are the perfect support system.

Riley was probably the most interesting character. He was so sweet, but then he got to be a little bit annoying. Sometimes I wondered if he had ulterior motives in always coming over or wanting to know Leelee's whereabouts, but that was just part of her character.

This really is a nice summer read.

Sequel to Whistlin Dixie in a Nor Easter. Enjoyable, great characters. Maybe not as good as the first, but still a good, light read. ( )

Just a fun book to read, light and airy and made me want to live in the South! ( )

This is the sequel to Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'Easter. This book could be read asa stand along since the beginning does bring you up to date on Leelee Satterfield's story but I would recommend reading both books in order. Why would you want to miss out on the fun?

This book picks up with Leelee arriving back home in Memphis. It doesn't take Leelee long to realize that life as she knew it in Memphis is about to change. She is now a single mother who needs to support her daughters and find a place to live. I admired how Leelee picked up her boot straps and took care of business, in her usual hilarious way. Leelee once again charmed her way into my heart and had me laughing.

Lisa Patton has introduced us to some new characters in this book while bringing back some old faces from the previous book. In this book we get to see more of Leelee's best friends, who are just as entertaining as Leelee. We also get to see more of Kissie, the woman who was hired to care for Leelee as a baby. Such a wonderful, gentle soul. There is also Riley, Leelee's extremely, annoying neighbor. I really wanted to wring his neck. Leelee has the patience of a saint with him. Not so sure I could have been as gracious. There are also many quirky characters where Leelee finds a job at a radio station. Wherever Leelee goes, fun is sure to follow.

This is another heartwarming, fun story. I hope Lisa Patton isn't done writing about Leelee yet! Leelee's story can brighten even the darkest day! It's pure adorable, Southern fun! ( )
