Friends, sass, hot jalapenos&love. They have more than enough of all that in Cadillac, Texas.

Stella's mother wants her daughter married and having some grandkids for her - but her innocent plea for prayer has started a hot mess. Now there is campaign to marry Stella off and even a ball (read barn dance) planned to secure both that and a brand new marriage ministry for ambitious Heather. But what if Stella already is taken?

This one is fun celebration of women's strong headedness, stance and friendship above all. They have foul mouth and are not very gentle sometimes, but they fiercely love each other and are there always to get their backs. Spiced with a douse of Southern charm and attitude, you want fierce friends like these in your posse. 

So why 3 stars? 
I, for one, don´t like when the preachers are described like hot dudes without any real religious inclination. One is not a pastor because of his nice sermons, one is a pastor when he is showing God to others. And Jed here is mostly interested in the (married) sex. 
Second, this is funny novel - but sometimes also catty and downplaying the other women (however you paint them as mean and/or stupid, they are still women). 
Third, the men here are just sexy and loving accessories to the women (one ugly ex is an exception). They are one-dimensional and have no character development.

Still, the sass is attractive. And having some fierce friends myself, i know that they are both force to be reckoned with and a great gift in my life. Toast to friendship!
