She was a blond goddess, a box office megastar. Every woman wanted to be her; every man wanted to bed her. But over a year ago Devon Stafford vanished without a trace. As a biographer, Jake Gannon had taught himself to follow the clues of a person’s life story like a detective. As an ex-Marine, he was accustomed to being firmly in control. But when his car died in a little town called Mare’s Nest on the Carolina coast, he had to admit he’d come to a dead end.

There he met a .38-toting tow-truck driver named Dixie La Fontaine. She was no celebrity, but Dixie had an irresistible sex appeal all her own. What did this down-to-earth woman know about a missing movie star? Surprisingly, quite a lot. And Jake was going to uncover it all…if Dixie didn’t end up shooting him first
- My Review -
When actress Devon Stafford disappeared a year ago she left no trail. With a little help from Devon's past history though Jake Gannon, a self taught detective and mystery writer, has learned of a small town called Mare's Nest where the allusive megastar might be hiding. Chock full of lovable animals, messes, and of course Dixie La Fontaine's .38 gun, Heart of Dixie, takes readers for a romantic heart stopping boat ride. But, when Jake visits little Mare's Nest he'll learn more about love and himself, than about the megastar he's been searching for.

When Dixie La Fontaine, rounded the bend in her tow-truck to take Jake's brand new Porsche into the shop, he had hardly any clue what Mare's Nest would give him. Knowing Devon Stafford used to vacation in Mare's Nest during her summer vacations, this was Jake's starting point on his search. Forced to stay in the small town until his Porsche's fixed, Jake gets to know the gun toting Dixie. And as their friendly relationship begins to bloom into something more, he realizes that Dixie's hiding a big secret. But, having sworn off men, Dixie doesn't realize that Jake's kindness and charming California personality is warming her heart from it's slumber. Yet, as Jake's heart becomes into the care of Dixie, can Mare's Nest's biggest secret be kept?

Heart of Dixie by Tami Hoag's gives readers heart break and the reality of fame within it's 280 pages. Sending readers diving straight into the deep end of Dixie and Jake's whirlwind romance. It's an enjoyable book, that leads readers wondering what happens next.
