THE TROUBLE WITH LACY BROWN By Debra Clopton Review by Laura V. Hilton
When hairstylist Lacy Brown reads the advertisement that Mule Hollow, Texas, is long on men and short on women, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She isn’t looking for a husband, no, God sent her on a mission to style the hair of the women who are! So Lacy buys a building and prepares to start up her own business.
Cattleman Clint Matlock locks horns with Lacy the moment he runs into her. Literally. Even though there is no way anyone can miss the bright pink Cadillac she drives, he plows into the rear of it, and Lacy manages to talk her way clear of an insurance claim. But Clint is used to upbeat, beautiful women who worm their way into someone’s heart and then leave, and he is determined not to allow Lacy to get close.
Lacy seems determined to be trouble—with a capital T. First she paints her old building hot pink, causing the town to gawk in surprise. Then her pink caddy breaks down in the middle of the night and there are cattle rustlers out there. . . Clint doesn’t dare leave her alone for anything! Who knows what other mess Clint will have to rescue troublesome Lacy Brown from?
Oh wow. I totally loved THE TROUBLE WITH LACY BROWN from page one! Lacy is upbeat and humorous and totally adorable! Clint is a typical male, determined to fix things—even things that don’t need fixing. Even though I normally don’t care much for Texas cowboy stories (I think they are too overdone) I thoroughly loved this book. I can’t find anything negative to say about it. It is laugh out loud funny all the way through.
THE TROUBLE WITH LACY BROWN is a wonderful, page-turning read. Definitely one of the best Love Inspired romances that I read so far this year. This is Debra Clopton’s first book, and I am definitely looking forward to reading more of her work. $4.99. 252 pages.
