A GOOD LOOKIN' MAN is wonderful, cute love story that showcases Marcia Lynn McClure`s sense of humor. It is laugh out loud funny and the characters are Southern precious.Fairlee is on her way to visit her beloved aunt and uncle when her unreliable car breaks down five miles from the farm. Aside from wondering how she is going to get there, other than walking the five miles, her sense of balance is swayed as she looks up into the face of the most beautiful man she has ever laid eyes on.As she is sifting through the spilled contents of her purse, in an attempt to find her canister of pepper spray, the stranger holds it up and asks if that was what she was looking for."Were you looking for this, by any chance?" he asked. "Huh?" Fairlee breathed, still hypnotized by his physical charms. She looked down at what he held in his hand in offering to her, blushing to the very tips of her toes when she saw her elusive little canister of pepper spray. "Um...yes, thank you," she said, accepting the pepper spray. "I mean, no, no...of course not! I mean...thank you."Fairlee has a habit of talking to herself, not realizing she's speaking out loud and it makes for some extremely embarrassing and funny stories. The book will keep you chuckling and turning the pages to see what will come flying out of the damsel in distress` mouth.And, throw in Aunt Pearl's advice, and life and love just take on a whole new meaning. "I do know," Aunt Pearl confirmed. "And that there is a number one clue that you're with the wrong man. If he can't ruffle your bloomers when he kisses you, then you might as well not waste your time."I am giving the book five stars, not because it was a deep, thought-provoking book (it wasn't), but for its humor. Reading A GOOD LOOKIN' MAN was like sitting down to watch a comedy and it was quite enjoyable.
