O Bed! O Breakfast! Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

When the queen of the tabloids, Juliette Cadbury, decides to film a movie in Fort Rosalie, Mississippi, local Tourism Bureau executive Mary Dell Hoskins is given the unenviable task of setting up a whirlwind inspection tour of the town's three bed-and-breakfasts, only one of which can win the right to host the outrageous actress and her hunky actor boyfriend during their three-month location shoot. All genteel hell soon breaks loose as a local ladies' group organizes a protest against the "Hollywood morality" of the live-in couple, and the competition among the quirky bed-and-breakfast owners takes on a life of its own. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and all sorts of people fall in and out of love as Hollywood's fast-lane meets Deep South hospitality.

Having read several other books by Robert Dalby, I was anxious to read this one and was not disappointed. Being from the south, it is like reading about my own home town.

1.0 out of 5 stars An insult to my intelligence
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2005
I picked this up to read before heading to a B&B on vacation.I don't know what possessed this author to write this particular story, but it certainly wasn't any knowledge of the movie or hospitality industries. The characters, who spout platitudes right and left, are barely 2-dimensional stereotypes. The title is cute, but don't be fooled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge this one by its cover.
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2002
Don't be fooled by the silly title or the droll cover of this book, for inside its pages is a real treat. There is a movie being made in the small town of Rosalie, MS and the owners of the three local bed and breakfasts are all vying to play host to the famous actress who will portray the starting role. As they each woo her in their own way over the course of one weekend, they are up agaist a band of conservative old bitties who form the "casserole patrol" to picket and protest against the film being made. In the end, each player gets their due and the Hollywood actress learns a thing a two about the way things really are in the South. This book pokes fun of the sterotypical Southern characters we often see and is all the more entertaining for it. I would recommend it as a quick and very light read to fans of Southern ficion.

If you are looking for a serious novel, this one is not for you. However, if you are looking for a well ploted story with great adult humor and full of fun, this is exactly what Robert Dalby delivers.
