Have you ever tried to add how much money you’ve spent on books? (I don’t recommend it.) I was going through tough times and I thought food or books? Obviously, I know how to set my priorities straight and I decided to continue purchasing books, I could go about three weeks without eating. Anyway, after a while I realized that food was necessary to have the energy to read, so I re-considered and decided to only download free e-books. I read the first few pages of some, and I kept skipping over Stephanie Bond’s free book Baby, I’m Yours and I honestly don’t know why I did such a thing. I finally ran out of resources and read the prequel to the Southern Roads Trilogy. Like Stephanie has mentioned before the purpose of BBB is not to say negative things about books we don’t like, but to share the ones we love. I didn’t exactly love Baby, I’m Yours but it did a little nibbling at my curiosity and I absolutely loved the first book in the series Baby, Drive South (I finished the book in one day).
Porter is the younger brother in the Armstrong family. He is Tall, muscular, with cobalt blue eyes (yum). The brothers have embarked on a project to re-build their town Sweetness. They created an ad to attract about 100 women to live free with room and board for two years. The idea behind the ad was for the prosperity of the town and to help rebuild it after the town was destroyed by a tornado. Porter and Kendall (middle brother) are positive that their advertisement will work; Marcus (older brother) is not so sure and he doesn't think of women as being an asset to their project. Porter is hoping for good looking women to surround them, but once the women start to arrive it's comical to see how little the brothers know about women. Women arrive on a caravan and Porter is so excited he decides to get a better view and climbs a water tower and of course injures himself in the process. When he is treated by the new physician in town he is clearly disappointed, and doesn't hide it (I am not going to lie, I thought he was a douche in the beginning).
Nikki regrets arriving to Sweetness the moment she realizes that the man (Porter) she is helping, doesn't hide the disappointment in her appearance. She immediately thinks about the warnings her friend Amy gave her about small towns and southern men. Nikki underestimates her good looks because she doesn't try to impress anyone, but she thought that by moving to Sweetness she could hide from the heartbreak she experienced. I personally liked the misunderstandings and confusion between Porter and Nikki. She doesn't fall for his charms (so she thinks) and he can't believe that he can't convince her to stay, because women always fall for him. Anyway, I loved the way Porter's feelings developed for her. His feelings transitioned from trying to convince her to stay for the benefit of the town to his own. I just finished the second book and will be posting a review about it next time.

I love misunderstandings. (In books, not real life.) This sounds good.
