My Review:

I don't know why it took me so long to get to this book! Chicken About Love by Kaci Lane is the second book in the Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series. I recommend reading them in order, although they would be okay to read as stand-alone novels.

Read for:

🐔memorable meet cute (re-meet they knew each other in high school)

🐔small-town vibes

🐔southern charm

🐔witty banter

🐔chickens

🐔fake dating

🐔HEA

Two of my pet peeves play a minor role in this book (jumping to conclusions, and I won't say the second because it would be a mild spoiler). However, they were not enough to spoil my enjoyment of the story. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. 

Thank you to Kaci Lane for giving me a copy of this book back in 2021. I don't think I was supposed to review it, but if I was, I am SO sorry it took me so long to get to it! All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

I’m unemployed, recently divorced, and living with my parents. I have nowhere to go but up.

A year ago I was married and living in a wealthy neighborhood in the biggest city in Alabama. That was before my husband left me and I tucked tail and ran home to Mama. Now I’m literally banking my five-year-old daughter’s future on my getting hired as a teller at the local credit union.

I may not have a college education—at least not completely—but beauty pageants, sorority functions, and Junior League events have taught me how to interview like a pro. Too bad I’m stuck driving my daddy’s old Ford with no air-conditioning in the Alabama summer, which is hotter than a jalapeño's armpit.

But that’s the least of my worries after I play chicken with a chicken truck and wreck Big Red.

Between the truck driver’s colorful cussing and the sheriff’s flirtatious questioning, I’m ready to fly the coop any way I can. That’s when Tanner Nash, the biggest prankster in high school, comes out of nowhere and rescues me. He saves me and my interview, winning the role of my new bestie back in Apple Cart.

We have more in common than I ever imagined—especially when it comes to wanting to ward off all the matchmakers in Apple Cart County. A little fake romance seems like the perfect solution to both get what we want.

That is . . . until what I want is him!
