review 1: The two stars this book got were strictly for the hero, Decker. The heroine, Rosie, was one of the most annoying heroines I've come across. Rosie is nasty, full of snark, and sometimes mean. Decker was patient, understanding and fully invested in trying to help Rosie be true to herself. I have no idea why Decker was so interested in Rosie. There was nothing so great about her that made me think she was worth it.Part of the problem with this book was that Rosie was so rude to Decker for an absolutely ridiculous reason. You see, Rosie likes to be spanked but she's terrified that someone in the town will find out. How will they find out? I have no idea. Is everyone in town peeping in her windows? Trust me, Rosie, you're not that important. Decker even points out multiple time... mores that there was no way people would know what they did in the bedroom. I agreed with Decker because not knowing that there was very little chance of anyone finding out, well, just made Rosie look ridiculous. Decker also points out that people really don't care if he and Rosie are a couple. They wouldn't be any different than all of the other couples in town. Rosie really needed to get over herself. Decker had to tell her about how no one would care they were a couple because Rosie was ashamed to be seen with him. Right there I wanted Decker to realize that Rosie was a self-absorbed woman who wasn't worth his time. I wanted Decker to walk away because Rosie didn't deserve him.I can't remember ever disliking a heroine as much as I disliked Rosie. Wait, that's not true....but Rosie is definitely on the top ten list of heroines I wanted to smack some sense into.
review 2: All I have to say is YUM! Well ok I actually have a lot more to say than that... *wink* I was lucky enough to be given a copy of the book by Lissa Matthews, as you know I have enjoyed a number of her books (mmmm Vinter) one of which was Sweet Caroline; the first in her Blue Jeans and Hard Hats series. I loved Sweet Caroline and I loved Cracklin' Rosie too. I read it on a plane heading to Spain, I am not the worlds greatest traveller, not because of sickness or fear (although landing and take off are not my favourite things to do) I am the one who gets bored! Sat still in a sardine can... books are my salvation! And this one completely transported me somewhere else so I could forget about the two teenage girls sat next to me who were giggling over Edward! Nothing against Twilight, read it- quite enjoyed it, but these teenagers have SO much to learn and hopefully will discover some of the vamp books we all love!Sorry I got distracted, Cracklin' Rosie, I need to find this town where they all live and move there and get my roof fixed, or fence built or something, I definitely need this kind of handy man and I hear they have friends. The novel is sexy and fun, the characters are interesting and endearing. Rosie is someone who has been self reliant for most of her life but she has a secret, no-one (bar her best friend) knows but Decker is about to fulfill all her fantasies. He is teasing and playful and down right hot! If you want a short story with hard. hot and sexy men, women with a voice and a little kink, then let Cracklin' Rosie into you life.I really enjoy Lissa Matthews writing style, the mixture of hard and soft and sentiment and humour, all tied up with interesting characters and a kinky cherry on top! Great fun.I give Cracklin' Rosie 4 frilly knickers out of 5. A definite damp panty read. less
