No Lady and Her Tramp
By Kristie Leigh Maguire & Mark Haeuser

     Beth Ann Dixion is Grapevine, Kentucky's local hair stylist. She lives in a run-down trailer park known as President Park with her husband, Billy Ray. When she wins the church bingo grand prize of $1,000, she knows her prayers have been answered - a means to a better life is sure to be just around the corner. Taking her winnings to the nearest computer outlet, she purchases a state-of-the-line computer. While Billy Ray makes his weekly visits to hang out with his drinking buddies at the Amtrak, she fires up her computer and allows her hands to blaze a fiery trail across the keyboard. Her intent is to create the steamiest romance novel under the alias of Bethany Dickerson. She is convinced she can give the local columnist, Shirley Snodgrass, a lesson in literature refinement that is guaranteed to put Grapevine on the map of fame!

     The writing talent of Kristie Leigh Maguire and Mark Haeuser has been combined to produce a very delightful and realistic novel. The tone, style, and voice are all original and quite wonderfully intertwined together. What I admire most about these two wonderful authors is they were brave enough to give a realistic look at how modern day romance actually happens. Both of these authors have opposite writing styles, but in reading No Lady and Her Tramp, I was unable to pick out which author was writing each memorable scene. This fact alone shows how talented the duo is in creating a dynamic well-oiled writing team!
