Ok, so I'm always starting some of these series books in the wrong order. I read this first when it is the 2nd of a 2 book series it seems. I will be reading "THE TAMING OF ELIZA JANE" next for sure!
The moment Rebecca steps off that stage and Adam is there to greet her, you immediately feel the web of attraction between them. (that's how good Shannon's writing is).......The biting words shared are all part of an elaborate dance that we the reader can feel, won't last for long. Rebecca is determined to let her hair down (so to speak) and cut loose in this wild west town ( held in check by a Sheriff *ADAM*that has somewhat of a reputation of shoot first ask questions later)...HIs deputy Will is newly married to Eliza Jane and is constantly running off to be with her so Adam figures it's time for him to maybe take a nice sweet wife like Rebeccca. Boy is he in for a surprise when she starts dressing in the clothes her aunt left her along with the "house of ill repute"....Yes, she is now not only a madam, but a virginal one at that! Dare she ask Adam to be her first??...........
Of course Adam doesn't like her revealing clothes or the face paint-especially not the looks she gets from the men! When she asks everyone to call her Miss Becky he about comes unglued. Well, it seems our 'Miss Becky" has a good reason to be incognito,(the suspense) and between the bible brigade, Eliza's liberated women and Adam's bumbling courtship, oh, and Will's bubble baths with his wife........this story actually has a lot of story(if you know what I mean) I was never bored and the laughs, tears and oohs and ahhhs made this a very enjoyable book for me. The romance rates high in this one....and the sex is sweet, never overdone nor smutty. Yes, the 'other side' of this dangerous sheriff .........is......"sigh"......and tha't's sooo sexy.
Great Job! Gotta read the first one now...........
