Billy Bob Walker Got Married Harper Monogram Lisa G Brown 9780061080715 Books

My first Lisa G. Brown was picked up because of the various recommendations of the title on the Amazon romance discussion forum. This title kept cropping up on various threads on the forum which led me to obtain a copy of this title, which I had a real hard time getting shipped to Maldives since its out-of-print now. It might be because I had such high expectations because of the rave reviews this story has received that I didn't enjoy this one as much as I thought that I would. However that doesn't mean that this is a bad read by any means but rather it didn't live up to all my high expectations which I believe tends to happen to us readers now and again.

27 year old William Robert Walker aka Billy Bob Walker comes from the wrong side of the town of Sweetwater. The illegitimate son of the honorable Judge Robert Sewell who has ignored his very existence by forgetting his affair with the innocent country girl Ellen Walker, Billy's mother, Billy has a chip a mile wild on his shoulders that lands him in spots of trouble now and then. With a reputation for being wild, no one really sees the ambitious heart that beats within Billy and his aspirations to become someone who would one day show his good for nothing father that the son he had ignored for all his life in favor of his legitimate son Michael could make something out of himself. 6 ft 3 inches tall, long-limbed and lanky with broad square shoulders, Billy sets many a heart aflutter with his easy charm and masculinity. Billy's passion lies in becoming a veterinarian but life and its ultimate choices had inevitably ended him a little further away from attaining his dream.

22 year old Shiloh Pennington is the cossetted and protected daughter of Sam Pennington, the banker of the town of Sweetwater. A man who had risen from a low wage job at a tiny mill to become what he is today, Sam wants nothing but the best for his only daughter whom he had raised single-handedly ever since Shiloh's mother Caroline had walked out on them when Shiloh had just been 5 years old. A woman known for her beauty and loose morales when it comes to men, Sam had always kept a tight leash on Shiloh wanting to protect her from every evil in the world and tries his damnedest to shape Shiloh to follow his dreams and ambitions for her rather than her own. Shiloh is a woman trapped in a world created for her by her father and she tries her hardest to please Sam in every way possible until she breaks off her engagement to Michael Sewell, an act that infuriates Sam to no end.

The overly protected Shiloh who had always stayed away from men had her world turned upside down the summer she had turned 18, when she had run into Billy Bob Walker when he had been sent by his grandfather to landscape Pennington's yard. Their affair had started out innocently enough and had been brought to a cruel halt by Sam who had presumed to know that Billy Bob Walker wasn't what his Shiloh deserved or needed in life. Now 4 years later, these two cross paths again when Billy who is in jail serving time for riling up his father in court finds himself in the company of Shiloh who is brought in for totaling her car by speeding, trying in reality to get away from the stifling presence of the Sewells who her father tries to force her to accept. And when Shiloh sees her way out of getting married to Michael and getting back at Sam for trying to force her affections on a man who frightens her to no end by proposing marriage to Billy in exchange for his freedom from jail, a shaky relationship of sorts develops between two people who are wary of trusting the other as past hurts and Shiloh's father tries his best to drive these two apart.

I liked:

1- The premise of this story. I found myself intrigued with the concept of the heroine offering money to the hero to marry her just for convenience's sake. And with such vast differences in their upbringings there was bound to be a lot of problems which Ms. Brown tackled with throughout the story.

2- The vivid descriptions of the small town life that brought this book to life and gave it an added lustre. It is always heartening to see a story bring to life what goes on in small towns such as the one in this story.

3- As I read through this story, I was at first really frustrated with Shiloh's character as she kept swaying back and forth between her feelings for Billy, which always pisses me off when it comes to heroines. But in the end, Shiloh proves that she loves Billy for who he is and does some growing up of her own and stands up for herself in front of her controlling father which earned her my approval in the end.

I disliked:

1- The way Shiloh couldn't make up her mind till around more than half way through the book. It kept my head spinning in circles whilst Shiloh tried to divide her loyalties between the father who had raised her with love although Sam controls her life and she lets it happen; and her husband whom she has a hard time accepting at first.

2- Billy's doggone pride that kept interfering with what was taking place between Shiloh and himself. As feelings continued to intensify between the two, Billy has a hard time accepting the fact that Shiloh's upbringing had provided her with the best of things in life which Billy is unable to provide her with. Sam's interference certainly didn't help matters but I wished at times I could slap Billy on the face to make him sit up and see what he was doing to their relationship with his beloved pride to keep him company by his side.

Billy Bob Walker Got Married Harper Monogram Lisa G Brown 9780061080715 Books Reviews

I'm a Southerner that has lived all over the US and the world with my military hubby of 25 years. What makes us a unique group of people comes through Ms. Brown's books better than any author I've read. She has captured the Southern psyche and mannerisms.

Billy Bob Walker reminds us that people and circumstances aren't always what they seem on the outside. Billy Bob, a young man from the wrong side of the blanket, as well as the tracks, is far more noble and honorable than his priveleged half-brother, Michael Sewell who has had the advantage of the best things and education that money can buy. Everyone in Sweetwater, Mississippi, expects the heroine Shiloh to marry Michael. But as fate or Cupid would have it, Billy and Shiloh fall in love. They have a tough fight ahead of them. Her father, his father (though Judge Sewell has never acknowledged Billy), and Michael all try through hook and crook to keep our cross-starred lovers apart.

I discovered Lisa G. Brown's books through BILLY BOB WALKER GOT MARRIED in a bunch of used books I bought. I loved it so much that I acquired all three of her other books used (SLEEPING AT THE MAGNOLIA, CRAZY FOR LOVIN' YOU and HIGH STAKES which is written under the pen name Dana Warren Smith--all are out of print). I'm wondering when and if she plans to write more. I eagerly await her next novel.
As another reviewer said, I got this suggestion off of a discussion forum. I kept seeing this title pop up again and again on the contemporary romance threads. So I obtained a used copy (it's out of print) and started reading. I won't rehash the plot, as others have already done that, I'll just jump right into my likes and dislikes. The very first thing to jump out at me was how very dated this book is. Billy Bob has a Billy Ray Cyrus type mullet. And because he's blond (the cover picture looks nothing like he's described) an unfortunate image of Joe Dirt, only taller, got stuck in my brain. Very hard for me to think of this backwoods, redneck type as really sexy. Since the author describes the styles of hair and clothes so well, the heroine was dated too. But this was written in 1993 and that's just what you have to put up with if you're going to read a contemporary this old. So, aside from that, I really didn't like the hero or heroine much. She was wishy-washy in the extreme about her feelings for him, and she was so naive in the ways of the world (even for a sheltered debutante) that it was almost laughable. 1993 was not an innocent time period! She was also very immature, but she was only 22 so I can cut her some slack there, it just got frustrating. Now for Billy Bob. This man is so full of pride and stubbornness that it seems like nothing gets through that thick skull of his. It made him seem petulant, immature, and whiny at times. It also resulted in some pretty high-handed, Neanderthal behavior. He expected her to be a virgin, even though he wasn't by any means. Some things were almost more suited to a historical. Again, I felt myself getting very frustrated with the whole thing. The book is long and the conflicts drag on too long.

That being said, I still gave this book three stars. The author does a good job of bringing you into the setting of a small, backwoods, southern town. I liked the general premise, and she did manage to create a fair amount of chemistry between H/h. But the actual love scenes were a let down. I don't need graphic for a love scene to be steamy, but she made Judith McNaught and LaVyrle Spencer seem downright erotic! But the book kept me reading and I finished it pretty quick. There were some beautifully done, touching moments. All in all, this book was just okay. Which was a disappointment, considering the rave reviews I've heard. I probably won't be reading this one again.
This is one of the best romance novels I've ever read--and I read A LOT!!!!! It's a keeper--and I'm currently reading it for about the 4th time. Unfortunately, the author only wrote 3 books then disappeared from the scene. (One book written under another name. I think the title is High Stakes by Dana Warren Smith?). If she by any chance reads this "Please write another book! You are the best!"
