Before reading this book I tried to imagine what Keely McCay's story was going to be. I wasn't even close. I just love Lorelei James and her characters. Keely and Jack were perfect for each other. Although, they had their share of the requisite hurdles (god forbid love just ever be easy), it wasn't too over the top. I love a strong sexy man and even though Jack was proud to not be a cowboy I felt he still possessed the spirit of one.
Another homerun. One of my favorites of the series.
This is not my favorite Queen Betsy book, but I still loved it. It was a nice, quick read and still had her quick witt and laugh out loud one liners. I just felt it was a little rushed in some parts. Still overall very pleased and as always I am a huge fan. Long live Queen Betsy and Mary Janice!
I really love these books. They are such nice, quick reads that just make me laugh.

Just started, let you know. It's different- the main characters are shady, weird to root for characters with no morals.
