Domestic Equalizers #1

Since You're Leaving Anyway, Take Out the Trash

... Show More
The strongest, sexiest, and sassiest debut contemporary romance we've seen since Rachel Gibson! The quality of Dixie's writing combined with the pure romance of the story guarantees that Avon Romance has just acquired a new star. Debbie Sue Overstreet is still the best-looking gal in Saltlick, TX-and her ex-husband Buddy is still the best-looking sheriff. Thanks to a thriving gossip mill (also known as Debbie's hair salon), there isn't a thing in Saltlick that she doesn't know about before anyone else. That is, until somebody offs snooty Pearl Ann Carruthers. With Buddy on the case, the woman who has to know everything is stumped by not just one, but two questions: first, who killed Pearl Ann and why, and second, how on earth did she ever let Buddy Overstreet get away? Lucky for Saltlick and Buddy both, she means to find out the answers, no matter what it takes!

About the author

... Show More
Dixie Cash is Pamela Cumbie and her sister Jeffery McClanahan. They grew up in West Texas during the great oil boom, an era filled with "real-life fictional" characters who cry to be written about. Pam has always had a zany sense of humor, and Jeffery has always had a dry wit. Surrounded by cowboys and steeped in country-western music, when they can stop laughing long enough, they work together creating hilarity on paper. Both live in Texas - Pam in the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex and Jeffery in a small town near Fort Worth.

Eh.... It's trying to be Stephanie Plum in cowboy boots, but I prefer Stephanie Plum.

I picked this book up at a book sale simply because of the title. I mean, could you really have a better title?! I was immediately taken with the story telling and the candid back history of the main characters. I came to really feel as if I was apart of the ladies' families. I also loved this book simply because the dialogue was soooo funny and witty!! I was laughing on the first page... how many times does that truly happen?!

I gotta admit the title drew me in !!!!

This is labeled as a romance but I found it to be more a mystery romance. I absolutely loved this and cannot wait to read the rest in the series.

Debbie Sue is determined to win the reward money for solving the murder of the nastiest woman in town.

She is not going to let her ex husband Buddy, the town sheriff, stop her.

With the help of friends, she solves it but almost becomes a victim. She and Buddy realize they are meant to be together and get remarried.
