From small town to boomtown, Rainwater, Oklahoma, is drenched with wealth when a gusher floods the streets with drillers, welders and roustabouts of every description. Jill Jones, the spunky, hardworking wildcat who runs her aunt's hotel, is unprepared for the attention she suddenly receives from the women-hungry men. Despite her attempts to thwart their advances, she finds herself cornered by them on the street one day, until the good-looking Thad Taylor comes to her rescue, arousing both her temper and desire. Believing Jill to be a "street flapper" Thad makes it his duty to curb her wild ways. But Jill wants nothing to do with Thad - until a woman's dead body is found in town. Now, Jill is all too willing to accept Thad's protection...but will she be willing to accept more?

The development of an oil town and romances.
31 May 2003
By Tanya L. Schaub
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this sweet romance from DG. In this story there is a lot going on.
Jill Jones is called a wildcat by the oilmen of Rainwater. This comes from her dumping water on a man who was tracking gunk onto her freshly washed porch of the hotel. Jill comes to Rainwater to help her Aunt whose health is failing. When her brother finds that she is in this wild western town all by herself he sends their close family friend Thad to watch out for her.
This is where a lot of the romance starts but there is also a murderer among them, long held secrets etc... to mention a few things. There is more than one romance happening in this story. I really enjoyed the development of the characters etc...

A good rainy day book

Typical Dorothy Garlock. Once I pick up a book by her I don't stop reading till the book is finished. Even though most of her story lines are similar, she adds just right amount of a twist to make it different. A good read for a lazy day.

The book had somewhat of a predictable plot, but it was an enjoyable book to read. It consists of love and mystery. At times it will make you laugh and then make you cry. I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.
