I really liked this book, I thought the main characters were fun though each had their own reasons and troubles to contribute, and at times it felt that there was a little too much of that, whick is the reason that his book got four stars (Dylans tortured hero bit was a bit much at times) but I loved the interaction between Kitty and Dylan and the secondary characters.
If you're looking for a book that will easily carry you to someplace else for a few hours, this is it.
It's a lovely romance novel, that will keep me entertained when I read it again.

amusing romantic romp
9 Jan 2002
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The entire country believes FBI Special Agent Dylan Matthews is a hero due to his recent rescues of damsels in distress. When Dylan returns to his hometown of Hot Water, California after an eight-year hiatus, the Feds inform the media he needs some R & R. However, the press spreads unconfirmed rumors that Dylan is going to marry one of the women he saved.
Though she hates the job, Kitty Wilder runs the family business, the Burning Rose brothel. All Kitty ever wanted is a conventional lifestyle with a normal job, a loving husband, and a few kids. Though her neighbors will always consider her a wild Wilder, Kitty plans to break with her family heritage and retire as the town's madam in about five weeks.

Though her neighbors will always consider her a wild Wilder, Kitty plans to break with her family heritage and retire as the town's madam in about five weeks.
Eight years ago, a drunk Kitty and Dylan got "married" Heritage Day style. She officially registered their nuptials and the duo is legally married. Dylan returned home because a background check revealed his marital status. Though he planned to straighten out the error, Dylan soon finds he wants to remain married to Kitty even though that might break his family's heritage of upright good citizenry.
Once the reader accepts the premise that the FBI missed the fact that Dylan is legally married on previous background checks, fans will enjoy this amusing romantic romp. The story line unabashedly keeps the humor at high levels throughout the novel. Kitty and Dylan are a joy to behold as their banter and love end family traditions. FIRST COMES LOVE shows that Christie Ridgeway is a first class author.

Endearing characters and perfect comedic timing
28 April 2002
By Desmond Chan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Though FIRST COMES LOVE can never match her Wish You Were here, Christie Ridgway manages to escape the thin premise of her plot with her endearing characters. Set in Hot Water, California, FBI agent Dylan Matthews returns to his native land to investigate the marriage scam that tied him down to Kitty Wilder more infamously known as the brothel madame. Yet when he meets her, Dylan finds her innocence beguiling and Kitty is a simple girl who goes for mini-vans and yearns to be accepted without associating herself with the Wilder woman especially her mom Samantha. He faces his own quandry as he apprehends the guilt of not having saved his best friend's wife. Their wounded hearts bounds them together but will that last? With perfect comedic timing and scinitllating pitch, Christie Ridgway pulls off her contemporary romance with laughter and fun. Her characters are real and flawed and bounces along well with the spirited and sprightly narration of Ridgway.

A Fun Read With Great Characters!
16 Jan 2003
By Kristi Ahlers
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a fun read and I loved the characters. The idea of small town life and how a past can follow you was easily understood. The hero was totally likeable since he did not want to blow his own horn on his work that he has done for the FBI and he really looked at his heroine not as a "local call-girl" but as a person and made one of her dreams (the mini van) come true in a very special way. The chemistry between the two main characters was hot and it was fun reading about these two unlikely people falling in love with each other. For a good laugh and a fun romance pick up this book.
