Bobby Faye....oh my, this lady has some luck. The antics of her and her friends made me laugh. I know it was supposed to have tense drama filled moments but I couldn't help but laugh through most of it. She's a walking disaster but most standards yet she's one gutsy broad, meeting trouble head on to save her family.
Thinking I may just have to follow Bobby Faye's story and see what other trouble she can get into. Besides, I think Trevor might have more back bone than Cam and might actually rock her back on her heels a time or two, just what Miss Bobby Faye needs.

Yeehaw ! What a ride this book was. This girl Bobbie Faye, has the worst and the best kind of luck all thrown into a hurricane and then flung at her. She is southern fried, hot headed, stubborn and smart and willing to face whatever she has too full on. Her love life is a mess, her home life is a mess, now her whole life is a mess. it all began with a water leak, a rotten brother and a tiara. There are Cops, FBI, Gunrunners, Voodo-ists, bank robbers and a couple sexy men to liven things up a bit.
This book did not have a dull moment. I was lucky to catch my breath between disasters. It was fun, light and very entertaining. I plan of reading the rest of her adventures.

If you like over the top tall tales then this is the book for you! Bobbie Faye is (apparently) known throughout Louisiana for causing disastrous mayhem wherever she goes. So a day where she wakes up to a flooded trailer seems just about normal to her--until she discovers that her brother has been kidnapped by thugs. Suddenly Bobbie Faye is in a desperate race to save her brother, helped by a mysterious (and sexy) stranger who may or may not be in cahoots with the bad guys. On her tail is the local sheriff, who happens to be her ex-boyfriend, and helping her in the background are a colorful assortment of friends. This book was a hoot to read, it's like a modern day tall tale where you can't believe the ridiculous situations the author show more comes up with, one right after the other. show less

Too funny! Bobbie Faye is a walking disaster zone, and she's having a very, very bad day. Lake Charles, Louisiana may never be the same. Bank robbers, gun runners, the CIA, voodoo and the mob - it's a thrill a minute, but hold on because the trip is worth it.

Janet Evanovich watch out - Toni McGee Causey's fierce competition.

I really enjoyed this, although it was WAY over the top. It definitely has the crazy Stephanie Plum factor, complete with the hot guy triangle.I don't know if I care enough about Bobbie Faye and the gang to actively seek out another in the series, but if one comes my way, I'll probably give it a shot.

This book sat on my to-read list for so long that it actually changed names! This used to be called Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very, very) Bad Day. I have no idea why the books in this series changed titles… It’s very (very, very, very) confusing.

Regardless of the title, this was a story I enjoyed. It’s non-stop action from the first page to the last, with a whole lot of humor and a touch of heart. Bobbie Faye reminds me a little of Stephanie Plum, only more of a disaster. The “testimonials” at the start of each chapter, where Bobbie Faye’s dangerousness is exclaimed, are more than a little over the top. In fact, everything about Bobbie Faye is over the top, and I wish she had been toned down a bit. I also wish we had a show more little more time to get to know Bobbie Faye in her normal world before everything went to hell. There is just no room to breathe in the story.

But overall, it was an entertaining read. I’ll be reading the next book, no matter the title. show less
