Dixie’s found her way back home again, and this time she wants to stay.

All it took was four days. Less than a week and my emotional cocktail of love and concern were stirred up again—for Deke, and my hometown. The big career I’d built was no substitute for the quiet life I left behind. Deke loved me, supported me, and wanted only the best for me. Kissing Creek raised me, knew me, and when it was time, let me go. Now the idea of returning to my hometown fills me with joy and hope. And Deke? His warm touch and caring heart might be the biggest incentive of all.

Deke’s life is in Kissing Creek. And there’s plenty of room for Dixie.

Yeah, okay, I have a pretty good life here in Kissing Creek. But I’d pack it all up and chase Dixie out west for a chance to live out my dreams with her. She always has kept me on my toes, though, especially when it comes to her actions. So why am I surprised when she shows up again, and with a plan? I’m not crazy about it but I’ll play along. She wants to build a life of her own here. I can help. She wants to date? We’ll date. But beware, Dixie, I have plans too.

Favorite Quotes:

 

“Right now, you could pretty much name your price.” I pretended to give it heavy consideration as I strolled alongside her waddling form on our way to the curb. “Baby snuggles, that’s what I want. The price is steep, I understand, but you’ll just have to share. And not just any snuggles, either. I want the ones when she smells good right after her bath. Not the ones right after she pukes up her formula.” I crinkled my nose and gave a slight shudder that was not at all feigned.

My Review:

 

I enjoyed the conclusion of this delectably steamy and pleasantly amusing second-chance small-town romance. It was my favorite and the least angsty of the three installments and had Dixie finally pulling her head from her colon and delivering that much prized HEA. Sigh.

 

 

Author’s Note: Kick back and enjoy this sweet and sexy small-town romantic comedy set in Kissing Creek, Tennessee—Book Three of the Heart of Dixie trilogy featuring Dixie and Deke. This book was originally released a few years ago, set in the fictional small town of Moreover, Tennessee. You may have read it. If so, you probably loved it *grins* But sometimes, even authors need a do-over. Because I was so in love with these characters and their history together, I decided to introduce the setting’s name change in a prequel novella of their origin story and, well, oops! Got a little carried away while writing. Then I decided I wanted a bonus epilogue for y’all—and what do you know? Uh oh. Same thing happened. Now we have three books to binge. Heads up, you hopeless romantics, you’ll find Deke and Dixie shenanigans in later books in this series, but Something to Talk About (Book Three) is the last book of their story—for now at least.
