The Bootscootin' Books, Book 1

De: D. D. Scott

Narrado por: Christine Padovan

Amazon and B&N Top 100 best-selling romantic comedy and humorous mystery author D. D. Scott two-steps into your heart with Book One of her debut series. It's Chick Lit, Gone-Country. Think Sex and the City meets Urban Cowboy.

Manhattan apparel designer Roxy Rae Vaughn, who's also a still-in-the-closet, country line dancing queen, wants to be a fashion success story. Tired of being nothing more than a Fifth Avenue up-and-comer, thanks to her elitist parents, Roxy moves to Nashville, Tennessee and opens a boutique in a local tractor supply store, the only retail space she can afford. Short on cash and way, way down on luck, she rear-ends a pick-up truck belonging to a tomato-growin', bootscootin' cowboy who is anything but the perfect fit for her career plans, although he is her ideal dance partner. Can Roxy accept that her best fit is on the dance floor moving to her own style and her cowboy's lead?

Tomato farmer by day and bootscootin' instructor by night Zayne McDonald doesn't give a damn about winning Nashville's heirloom tomato contest, even though his late father did. Zayne wants to honor his father, but what he really wants is to line dance his way to a winner's spotlight. When he and Roxy are discovered by a huge dance show producer, Zayne learns it's partnering with Roxy that's his winning hybrid mix. That is, if he can keep her and the tomato contest away from Beefsteak Jack Baudlin, the toughest tomato man in CMT country.

My favorite story in the series

Where does Bootscootin' Blahniks rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks well with my other audiobooks and I'm glad I listened to it but its nt one of my favorites

Ok but not much depth

Would you try another book from D. D. Scott and/or Christine Padovan?

Maybe but there are much better options

Would you recommend Bootscootin' Blahniks to your friends? Why or why not?

Probably not; predictable storyline; issues with mother resolved much too easily

How could the performance have been better?

Pronunciation; revelance for relevance; myaystro for maestro; sequence for sequins

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

If the music and dancing were good, maybe

Querkey and predictable

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This is a cute story but very predictable. It has some funny "one liners".

Would you ever listen to anything by D. D. Scott again?

Not sure.

Was Bootscootin' Blahniks worth the listening time?

Not really.

Don't bother

First off, the narrator of this book was terrible! She was flat, and one can barely tell between charachters who is saying what. Maybe the story would have been more riveting with a better narrator.
Speaking of the story, it was slow to develop. The characters weren't that interesting, and there didn't seem to be any real growth or change. I'm often irritated by the accelerated timeline between the main charachters meeting and the initiation of a sexual relationship, but this was the opposite. I'd prefer a sense of time passing between meeting and sex, but not all the minute details in between.
Perhaps my bible-thumping grandmother would have liked this, but I kind of doubt it. Even the Song of Solomon had great sex.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall
