My Heart May Be Broken, But My Hair Still Looks Great

By: Dixie Cash

Narrated by: Peggity Price

Length: 9 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

Dixie Cash, author of I Gave You My Heart, But You Sold It Online, has won a huge following for her special brand of lighthearted romance. In this spirited novel, Cash's two unforgettable private investigators are back for another tangy Texas two-step.

Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin are two of the sassiest hairdressers in Salt Lick, Texas. But these two spunky ladies do more than spice up the do's of their gossipy patrons. They also moonlight as the Domestic Equalizers, P.Is. with the best hair in the Lone Star State.

Not ones to turn down a juicy assignment, Debbie Sue and Edwina get involved in a case of missing horses - and may very well make or break the budding romance between a spoiled rich girl and the town's handsome veterinarian.

Critic reviews

"The fun of reading Cash (pseudonym for two Texan sisters) rests on impudent dialogue between women, pearls of Lone Star wisdom ("You can put a pair of boots in the oven, but that don't make 'em biscuits") and the knowledge that Cash heroines always get their man, good or bad." ( Publishers Weekly)

Dixie Cash ~ What a Hoot!

I love this writer. Great sense of humor. Good story lines, characters, dialogue. Looking forward for the next new release.

Laugh your A## Off

Would you consider the audio edition of My Heart May Be Broken, But My Hair Still Looks Great to be better than the print version?

Yes!!!

Which scene was your favorite?

When Edwina rode the horse through the woods.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, I actually had to pull over to the side of the road I was laughing so hard I couldn't drive.

Lot's of fun

Dixie Cash is almost as much fun as Janet Evanovich and "My Heart May Be Broken, But My Hair Still Looks Great" is one of the best of all of her novels. It includes some great belly laughs.

Good

This book doesn't have quite the "zing" her others have. Still enjoyable but the main characters aren't in it as much as I would have liked. Narrator is always great!

Compliments from a Texas Girl

This review is really for all 3 Dixie Cash books I've read so far. These are so funny, they are what I call, "be careful or you will have to change pants" funny. I really LOVE these books and can't wait to download the one after this that I have purchased. My days are so much more fun and my smile is even brighter than before when I am listening to one of their books. I don't want them to end and can't wait for the next one, which I hope is forthcoming. Being a Texas girl misplaced into Nevada, I love hearing books that sound like home.

Please keep up the good work and keep writing. I love all the characters so keep bringing them back, too.

Surprisingly fun and a really good read

What did you love best about My Heart May Be Broken, But My Hair Still Looks Great?

The characters start out being unsympathetic -- well, silly and somewhat stereotypical -- but the author managers to turn them into real people you care about. The story is set in Texas, with the pretty rich girl and the former college football star. The author is making fun of the stereotypes of Texas. I grew up in Texas, so it was really fun to read. But the author clearly loves Texas and turns the stereotypes on their heads.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The book is not a suspense thriller with action and heroics, but the story is surprisingly compelling and you really want to find out how the plot unfolds and how the story turns out. There is a mystery in the plot, but it unfolds against the character development. It's secondary to the relationship of the rich girl and the former football player.

What does Peggity Price bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has a perfect Texas accent and captures the personalities of the characters. The narrator brings the characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

The plot of the book is surprising and different. It's not what I expected. I downloaded the book because of the reviews -- they were good -- but when I first started to listen, I thought it was going to too light and silly for my tastes. But I kept listening, and suddenly I found myself really caring about spoiled Daddy's little rich girl. This is not your usual heroine.

Cute story but narrator had loud swallowing

The story was simple and a cute little romance. Nothing too negative about that. I like the narrators voice but unfortunately I could hear her swallow as she was reading. It was really nerve grinding.

The ladies of Texas

Hair dressers and private eyes. Only in Texas can you combine the two into such a terrific book!

Laugh Out Loud funny!!!

Just as good as the first book!!!! I can't get enough of Dixie Cash! She's hilarious and hits he nail on the head with Texas humor!!!!! Very fun series so far!!!!

Love this series!

funny, lighthearted and a live story too. doesn't get much better than this. I can't wait for the next book.
