Yankee Doodle Dixie by Lisa Patton
September, 2011 by Thomas Dunne Books

Synopsis from Goodreads: Lisa Patton won the hearts of readers last year, her book Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter became a sleeper-success. Building on a smashing debut, Lisa’s poised to go to the next level—because whether in Vermont snow or in Memphis heat, Dixie heroine Leelee Satterfield is never too far from misadventure, calamity…and ultimately, love.

Having watched her life turn into a nor’easter, 34-year-old Leelee Satterfield is back home in the South, ready to pick back up where she left off. But that’s a task easier said then done…Leelee’s a single mom, still dreaming of the Vermonter who stole her heart, and accompanied by her three best friends who pepper her with advice, nudging and peach daiquiris, Leelee opens another restaurant and learns she has to prove herself yet again. Filled with heart and humor, women’s fiction fans will delight in this novel.


My Thoughts: I loved the first book in this series. I fell in love with the characters immediately. Being from the south, I could totally relate to them. This is the second novel in the series, and while it wasn’t a complete disappointment, it wasn’t that great either. It did have several of the same quirky characters, but I felt like it focused on LeeLee’s “relationship” with Liam for too much of the book. It kind of got old and was very predictable. With that being said, I loved the ending and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I gave it 3 1/2 stars overall.
