My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle - just finished this one and it was great and very funny in places.

Answer 2

Luann McLane has a great set of books about finding love in unexpected places!  

They make you laugh and cry and go through a whole range of emotions :-)

Here they are in order. (Although each book is about a different set of characters)

1. Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots

      Jamie Lee Carter is a Southern Belle from the dark roots on her hair to her bare feet. She has been secretly in love with her brother best friend all her life but the only way that Griff Sheldon sees her is as her brother little sister, or so she thinks. That is why when she makes a pact with her best friend to "spice up her love life" and Hollywood producer Parker Carrington shows in Hootertown she sees the perfect chance to fulfill her pact. That's when things start getting interesting, with a little competition and jealousy. This is a small town romance and in this little town everything is possible. LuAnn McLane has mastered a romantic comedy full of charm and sass! The characters are real, refreshing and so charming! This is another favorite, she did a great job in combining the heat, sparks and sexiness of a romance with the charm and sass of a comedy.

2. Dancing Shoes and Honky Tonk Blues

     Abilene thinks it a mean joke when her brother signs her up as a contestant for a new reality show called Dancing with the Rednecks until she hears about the $50,000 grand prize. That kind of money would really help her Kentucky family out. Why, there might even be a little left over to finance her own dream, not that she minds waitressing. Tall and gangly, Abliene has two big left feet, and she's more than a bit intimidated by her tall, dark, and brooding celebrity dance partner. Rio Martin isn't happy about being involved in a spoof. He was hoping his appearance would be good publicity for his chain of dance studios. So the two do not get off on a good foot, but Rio is not immune to the leggy blonde who is too naive to realize she's a beauty. It's her spunky, down-home personality, though, that wins him, and the reader, over in McLane's comical and poignant modern-day rags-to-riches romance

3. Trick my Truck but don't Mess with My Heart

     Rumor has it that Candie Montgomery is to blame for her twin sister's broken engagement with Nick, the hot auto repair shop owner. But how can she be the other woman without even knowing it? Now, she needs an insta-boyfriend to put a lid on the gossip. Damage control comes in the s**y form of Tommy Tucker, who was supposed to be a quick fix. But Candie might just be in for the long haul...

4. A Little Less Talk and Alot More Action

      Macy’s chance for love is slipping from her fingers. College football coach Luke Carter has a penchant for hot-bodied babes, not curvy hairdressers like Macy. And some big-time schools may be luring him away. Then a country singing star’s hair emergency turns into a big break for Macy.

Making it in Nashville boosts Macy’s confidence, but when Luke interviews for a job at a local university, she’ll have to put up or shut up—or lose him forever…
