Resumen del Editor

Jill Fryman (Friday to her friends) is a line supervisor at a truck manufacturing plant in a small southern Indiana town. Life on the assembly line is almost as predictable as her love life. When it comes to matters of the heart, Friday always seems to be making the wrong choices. Things go from bad to worse when El, a sultry labor organizer from the UAW, sweeps into town to unionize the plant right after it's been bought out by a Japanese firm. Sparks fly on and off the line as Jill and El fight their growing attraction for each other against a backdrop of monster trucks, catfish dinners, Pork Day USA, and a bar called Hoosier Daddy.

A wonderful book!

I love this book! Christine Williams is a fantastic narrator. Her delivery of the dialogue and humor inspire one to laugh out loud while listening. Ann McMan and Salem West are a great team.

LOL funny

Any book that drops quick references of Dune, Star Trek, and Yoda is my kind of LOL book.

The book that wpuld not end

The narrator did a good job reading this awful book. I struggled to finish it and was very happy what it was over.

cute and funny

this book is full 9f laughter and mishaps. it was a great romantic comedy

Hilarious and Sweet

I couldn't stop listening to this book. I laughed out loud. I have recommended it to friends. I have purchased other books by this author because of how great this one was, and they lived up to her high standards as well.

Shouldn’t be rated “Sexy”

I loved Jericho and was expecting similar enjoyment from this one as well. The beginning was funny but I didn’t get the instant attraction thing especially on El’s part. I got board with about three hours left and couldn’t finish.

my favorite McMan/West book

Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan and Salem West is my favorite of these author's books. Christine Williams narrates in a deep, penetrating voice, which adds nuance to the colorful romance. I love how familiar this story sounds, in that the characters are people you'd probably run into at any country supermarket.

The connection between Jill and El is real. You know right away that they're meant for each other, but the practicality of their circumstance, and Jill's pragmatism with feeling stuck in southern Indiana, gives way to doubt, which makes it a steamy, slow burn. The romance is wrapped around their comedic encounters in familiar facilities, as well as, every day happenings in a small town with its assembly work, social conventions, and gossip.

This audiobook, delivered in a voice that is sexy and funny, is well suited to the McMan/West novels. I have listened to Hoosier Daddy for the second time, and it is just as enjoyable and laugh-out-loud funny as the first time. Give me some time, and there will be a third, and probably a fourth, time listening or reading this book. Thankyou for the ride.

cornbally

I like the narrator, but the story made it long and cornbally. Christine did a great job as always.

Hoosier Daddy

This one of my favorite Ann McMan books. I enjoyed the characters and the story. I've never read a lesfic in this particular setting before (factory worker/union rep), and I liked the extra passion the contentious work positions created. The side characters contributed just as much to the story as the main characters, Friday and El. This is something I've begun to notice about Ann McMan's books: she knows how to make her supporting characters enhance the world in her books, rather than just being placeholders. I look forward to reading more by Ann McMan.

very good

a great story real life like with a second book possibly in the making. no sex sceens but a beautiful story never the less. I imagine a beautiful ending but one could only hope. great detail in the life of a factory worker and and the struggles of what a union could help or hurt the work force.
