Notorious mean girl Dixie Davis is back in town and it's payback time. Literally. Dixie is flat broke and her best—make that only—friend, Landon, is throwing her a lifeline from the Great Beyond. Dixie stands to inherit his business…if she meets a few conditions:
She's got to live in Landon's mansion.
With her gorgeous ex-fiancé, Caine Donovan.
Who could also inherit the business.

First Thought when Finished: Talk Dirty to Me by Dakota Cassidy made me cry, laugh, and cheer! It was really enjoyable!
Story Thoughts: This was such a unique setting for a contemporary romance but it really worked. I thought the phone sex setting was perfect way for these two characters to work things out. Plus, it lead to some downright hilarious moments. I could just imagine how much I would have blushed being in a room while those ladies were working. I know that I laughed out loud several times while reading. However, this also packed an emotional punch! One I didn’t see coming and that made it that much sweeter!
Character Thoughts:I should start with Dixie or Caine but to me Landon was the heart of the story. It is one of those times when a 3rd person was just as significant to the love story as the two people involved in the relationship. Without Landon, neither Dixie or Caine would have gotten out of their own way. Dixie was a wonderful example of mean girl gone good and Caine was still sporting a bruised ego but he was “oh-so-hot” doing it. These 3 characters played brilliantly off of each other. I also enjoyed the whole cast of characters and can’t wait to revisit Plum Orchard.
Final Thoughts: I just adored this book!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

This sort of reminds me of Hart of Dixie – a TV show that was on a while back – I only watched half a season, but I really enjoyed that setting and I think I would this one too.
I love that it’s phone sex, that adds a funny twist! Adding to my tbr!
Dammit, Felicia! Now I have to add another awesome book to my reading list!! *eyes calendar* *fake coughs* I think I’m coming down with something…
I didn’t get to the actual talking dirty. The author threw up Southern and I couldn’t get past it. I wanted to get to the hottness, because I knew it would take my mind off it. I just couldn’t get there. It was like Hope Floats on steroids.
Oh yeah, totally added this one 😉
I enjoyed this one too. Loved Landon. Now I have to read the prequel for his story! 😀
I know me too! He was fantastic 🙂
This one sounds fun! I am listening to my very first Dakota Cassidy book called The Accidental Werewolf. 🙂
I just listened to that one on audio (and the 2nd one). I have read the series but the audio was super fun. I hope you fall in love with Wanda, Mary, and Nina 🙂
This one was fantastic too!
Sounds fun 😀
It was 🙂
This sure sounds like a fun one Felicia! Thanks for the review.
It was! Such a fun twist on contemporary romance!
I am starting this tonight and I am really looking forward to a fun romance! So glad that you loved it.
Grab some hankies. The end will make you tear up 🙂
Ohh looks fun I’ll have to check it out
It was super fun! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this one. I have it and the next two on my NG TBR list.
Grab tissues! The end will make happy tears fall but I was surprised how emotionally pulling the story was. It was full of fun and snark too 🙂
