BOBBIE FAYE’S WHACKED-OUT, NO-GOOD, REALLY SUCKY, HOT MESS OF A WEDDING - by Toni McGee Causey

Spew warning!

Anyone NOT familiar with Toni McGee Causey’s Bobbie Faye series should be forewarned with those words before picking up any of the books… otherwise you may end up mopping up your beverage of choice off your Kindle screen like I did the first time I ventured into Bobbie Faye territory and trust me, snorting fluids up your nose from laughter isn’t always a good thing!  That said, all hail Ms. Causey, because while her contribution may be a short story in an anthology, she doesn’t disappoint!

Who is Bobbie Faye?  If you have never heard of Bobbie Faye’s adventures, do yourself a favor and check her out and her wonderful creator, Toni McGee Causey.  Bobbie Faye is Louisiana’s own one-woman Natural Disaster and she really doesn’t even have to try.  She shoots better than most men, has a dysfunctional family that puts most of ours to shame…only hers is a bit more complicated, and she has an amazingly awesome group of err, ‘diverse’ friends.    In my opinion, one of the best aspects of the Bobbie Faye series is the Southern culture undertones and setting weaved throughout the stories…whether it’s taking in the rivalry of an LSU-Bama football game or running from the law in the Bayou. 

Yet another amazing wonder about this series and the awesomeness of Ms. Causey as a writer is her ability to cross genres.  The Bobbie Faye books aren’t strictly romance, while they do contain romantic undertones.  They also aren’t strictly mystery either, although there is a good amount of crime solving involved… with a good twist of Southern thrown in.  And perhaps my favorite component of this entire series that ties it all together in greatness is the fact that there is a huge dose of humor to be found that makes the books not only a fast read, but so enjoyable it leaves me wanting more and more.

So far, there are three full length novels to the Bobbie Faye Sumrall Series and I would recommend reading them in order.  Book one is ‘Charmed and Dangerous’, followed by ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Guns’, and book three is ‘When a Man Loves a Weapon.’  Ms. Causey’s latest release and short story is a follow up to ‘When a Man Loves a Weapon’. 

There is a wealth of more information about the Bobbie Faye series, as well as book trailers to be found at Ms. Causey’s website.  If you enjoy laughing out loud while you read, I strongly recommend checking out these books… just keep a box of tissue handy and remember, spew warning!
