This book was steamy hot, with two very likeable characters who were just perfect for each other, yet they had trouble believing it. I mean, who falls in love in just one week's time?

Bethany Dodson, the heroine, was a 30 year old virgin and the daughter of a well known millionaire businessman. Her parents wanted her to marry some creep for some business purpose and not because she loved him. Bethany had a lousy childhood, the only child of two selfish and uncaring parents, and the impending marriage to a man she didn't love was the last straw. She just wants to get away from her family, start a new life, and do all the things she couldn't while being the trophy daughter of a world famous businessman. If she could convince some poor unsuspecting man to marry her, she would have a new identity, and then she could finally get on with the life she'd like to have.

While attending a bachelorette party in Las Vegas, Bethany encounters the hero, Jack Johnson, in a bar. The sexy cowboy is drowning his sorrows over a broken engagement. Due to a stipulation in his late Grandfather's will, Jack needs to get married in order to claim his inheritance. He'd like to use the money to rebuild the ranch he lives on with his brothers and sister into the profitable Dude Ranch it once was. If he can find someone to marry him and stay married to him for a period of at least three months, he can claim his inheritance. Hmmn...Bethany wants a new name and a place to get lost. Jack needs a wife for a little while. While sharing a bottle of tequila, maybe these two could strike a deal? It doesn't hurt that they're wildly attracted to each other. But what will happen if that attraction turns to love? Will both of them end up hurt?

I just loved reading this one! It moved along so fast I read it in half a day. There was lots to like about this one. I like how the H/H met--they had a funny encounter in a hotel bar, and ended up married in a quickie Vegas style ceremony. There was lots and lots of funny and sexy dialogue between Jack and Bethany, and once Jack took Bethany's virginity, of course she turned into a romance novel sex-kitten! Lots and lots of steamy sex scenes between Jack and Bethany! But that's not all the book was about. There was an actual story that developed as Jack and Bethany realized they were falling in love with their spouse, yet afraid to admit it to themselves or each other for fear of getting hurt. Jack's brothers play an important part in the book, especially moody older brother Heath whose wife left him on their wedding night, and whose story is told in the follow-up book, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy". There is actually a country music theme to these books, including the titles, and the song that Jack and Bethany first danced to in the bar, called "Must Be Doing Something Right", which they consider 'their song'--very sweet. If you're looking for a sweet, yet very sexy and downright erotic romance about a very likeable couple, "Tequila..." will definitely satisfy you!(less)

"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" is the lead novel in Cara North's 'Country Music Collection' where the title of each book is also the title of a country and western song. This was my first western read by North and I enjoyed the story of a woman running away to take control of her life and finding love at her first stop.

Bethany has had it. Her parents have always equated love with credit cards and shopping sprees, but never really cared about her. The final straw wa...more

For those of you who like your erotic-romances to have a solid romance in them, then this is a great book to read! I don't mind erotic romance books that have tons of sex...they're fun to read ;) but sometimes, the romance angle lags behind. That doesn't happen in Cara North's "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" (by the way - fantastic title!). This is one erotic romance book where you can get the erotica and the romance all in one, which makes it a fun read.

This is the first novel in the “Country Music” series, and it’s a cute, sweet, erotic love story. Before I tell you what it’s about, let me warn you. The version I read was published by Mardi Gras Publishing in 2006. If typos and grammar/punctuation errors bother you, then be prepared. This novel contains hundreds of them. Yeah, an editor would have been a blessing for this novel. No doubt about it. Hopefully, that won’t keep you from enjoying this entertaining story.

Bethany Dodson is desparate to escape her wealthy father and fiance. She has decided that marriage is the best way to start a new life, and she plans to find a man in Las Vegas, ply him with alcohol, and lure him into a wedding ceremony. When she meets Jack Johnson in the hotel bar, she decides to spend an evening with this vitally attractive cowboy before carrying on with her plans. Unbeknown to Bethany, Jack is also in Las Vegas to find a spouse. In order to gain his inheritance, he must gain a wife and remain married for three months. The two head to Jack's room, but he hits the elevator button for the floor that lets them off at the wedding chapel. Not realizing she is playing into his hand, Bethany goads Jack into going through a wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, Jack and Bethany share a passionate night together before heading to his ranch in Montana. As they settle into a routine at the Johnson family ranch, Jack and Bethany each begin to realize that there is more between them than a great physical relationship, but they are both afraid to hope for more. Jack is upfront with Bethany and tells her why he married her so readily, but she doesn't reveal all of her secrets. For the first time in her life, Bethany learns what it is to be valued, and she pitches in and makes a place for herself on the ranch. Just after Jack and Bethany open up to one another about their deep feelings, the secrets she has not shared threaten to derail their relationship.

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off is a cute but misleading title for this book. The name suggests a racy, risque heroine, which is not true of this story. Only with her husband does Bethany does shed her inhibitions and give her fantasies full rein. Although this was a very steamy book, the story was all about the tender romance and love that developed between Jack and Bethany. Their blossoming relationship was touching, and satisfying to read.

My god was this book ever dumb :-/ The characters were dumb, with an extra special mention to the dumber than dumb heroine, the various situations these people got themselves into were really dumb and the story itself was just plain dumb. Apart from the cover and the title this book is bad stuff.

Apart from the cover and the title this book is bad stuff.

If you’ve seen the Kutcher/Diaz flick “What Happens in Vegas” you’ve pretty much got the gist of the story, the only difference is that the movie was hilarious and this book is anything but.

The heroine is a ditz who’s trying desperately to escape her control freak parents so she decides to get married to change her name by tying the knot in Vegas with Jack the complete stranger. She’s another one of those 30 year old virgin panty soakers who says and does stupid things every time a sex scene rolls around. Out of nowhere she also gets a backbone and can run a complicated ranch business by looking at a few spreadsheets –riiight. Ms MBA is supposed to be book smart but I don’t know how someone can be book smart when they come across as TSTL too many times to count. She has sex with stranger Jack and forgets the condom –so does he and he’s been around the block lots of times (‘cause that’s an attractive feature to extol to someone you’ve done the horizontal mambo with only the second time ---ew) all because of the “passion” that’s just not there if you ask me. She’s the kind of broad who stamps her feet in annoyance with her hands on her hips like a two-year old when things don’t go her way.

Some of the stupidest scenes include Ms Straight Laced going out not only commando in public but also in a tight sweater set without her bra on and she’s apparently booby girl –she feels so self-conscious about that and her general figure too and but she does it anyway. Totally unbelievable the way the story was set up. Another was this non-stop insecurity between the h/h constantly asking the other after sex “Did you like that? Tell me that you liked that baby? You liked that right? Tell me what you like?” hot and heavy panting surrounding all these scenes. Makes you want to holler “YES ALREADY! She/he liked that for friggin’ sake! Their eyes were rolling up in the back of their heads because you're such a god/goddess(!)” –pukeishly idiotic.

There are lots of annoying stereotypes in this story too: slutty best friend sleeps with heroine’s dad, skanky mom whores around and doesn’t love TSTL heroine, women are too complicated and they run hot and cold for nothing, I love you but I just met you, I revel in playing Betty Crocker/Pollyanna/Molly Maid even though it’s completely out of character based on what the author wrote, I wonder what our babies will look like (**gush gush – spew spew more like it**), hero has sex with a virgin gets all possessive/protective (you’d think you were reading a medieval the way he was going on), sweetheart this sweetheart that right off the bat but they barely remember the other person’s name, and I could go on and on.

So if you like stereotypical idiotic stories where just about everyone has a Look at me I am dumb sign plastered on their forehead in neon lights, then you have a good story here. As for me, it’s been a while since I’ve come across one of these “gems” but I have and it’s now the newest addition to the ol’ cootie-shelf.

This was a nice, modern-day romance with neat characters that fell in love as the story progressed. It was a fluke that the two main characters, Jack and Bethany, ran into each other in Vegas. Both were there looking for a spouse for different reasons. They married and thought it was a temporary fix for both their personal problems and fell in love. They both learned about each other and grew up in the process.

I think supposedly I got the non-typo version of the book, but there were enough errors and things that I was seriously bugged.

OK. </grammar geekiness off>

I had read a bunch of great reviews of the book. I then read the book. I then wondered, was I reading the same book as everyone else? I mean, usually my tastes fall in line with other people's, but not this time.

After reading other reviews about how fun and sexy this book was, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Everyone was so right! I loved Jack (and his brothers too). He tried so hard to be intuitive and understanding of Bethany. Gotta give the guy points just for effort - LOL. Heath's story is definitely on the to buy list now.

That pretty much sums this story up.. ;-D
I liked the book no kidding! Although the plot didn´t sweep me off my feet there were many hot and steamy sex scenes...admittedly without them the book would have been rather short.
But Bethany and Jack, the two main characters were likeable and amusing although Bethany seemed to be a bit selfish at times and wasn´t very considerate about Jack´s feelings but nonetheless the two w...more

This is a delightful romp. The characters are well written, interesting, and fun to hang out with. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would love to hear what happens with Jack's two brothers and his sister. I sure hope there will be sequels.
