Of course I adore the title of this, and can’t stop singing the song as I’m writing this review, lol. This is my first book by this author, although I have a few others I got as freebies on Amazon I think, and now after this I know that I would like to read them soon! I loved the Louisiana setting, even if they were from a small town and not actually NOLA. But it was an adorable small town. It had your crazy neighbors, gossipers, old legends, and quirky little stores and other locations. 

Of course the little dog on the cover was adorable and definitely made me want to pet and squeeze her in the story! The romance between Tallula and Jesse was sweet. There wasn’t any steaminess, as this is a series of clean/sweet romance. But that’s okay, there was still a lot of awwww! moments. I liked Tallula’s sister, and her parents not at first, but they did get a bit of a makeover later in the story when they were given some honesty. I was a little confused at first about some of Jesse’s family, but it was mostly figured out by the end. There was a bit of a third act break up, or at least them not knowing if one or both might be leaving. That took it down a little for me as it seemed a little like they should just talk, a complaint I often have. While I give this a 3.5 on my blog, I rounded up to 4 stars everywhere else, because it was definitely a quick and fun read!
