Summary: Cute story!
Comment: Cute tale about Charity Wilde, she has unfulfilled dreams about wanting to be a Las Vegas Showgirl... that is until she meets the very handsome Mike Flynn. He's a rancher/minister (and widower) in Wyoming. The energy between Charity and Mike is incredible, but is it enough for her to want to give up her dreams?
This story was great! It kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages as fast as I could read them so I could find out if they get together or not. This was my 3rd Patti Berg book and I like how she repeats her characters and gives them their own book! Major kudos to her for that!

Summary: I Loved This Book!!!
Comment: Charity and Mike are as different as they could be. Charity is a not so successful virgin Las Vegas Showgirl, Mike is a minister, ranch hand, cowboy. What more can you say. Charity goes to Wyoming for a family visit and runs into Mike Flynn and the sparks fly for both of them. Their story is a rollercoster ride of laughs as well as touching moments. You will see some old friends Lauren, Max, Sam, and Jack from other Pattie Berg Books. The nice thing about that is you don't have to have read Berg's other books to understand or enjoy this book. A must read.

Summary: Almost Five Stars
Comment: For those of you out there who like romantic fiction but whose sensibilities are alerted by the preponderance of premarital bumping and grinding, this book is for you!
The characters are believable with understandable frailties -- nothing too extreme or exotic -- and the author manages to craft a story that's not, in the words of my good friend, "too cartoony." The story reprises some characters from the books Wife for a Day and Stuck on You, but this particular story somehow achieves a more realistic and sensitive story, although it does contain its share of whimsy.
The story concerns Chastity Wilde, Vegas showgirl, and Mike Flynn, a "cowboy preacher" whom she meets whilon a visit with her brother at his in-laws' ranch in Wyoming. Of course, the story itself is a classic case of "opposites attract," with the aforementioned twist of (gasp!) religious values as well as (ack!) a woman who has more on her mind than hooking up with a great guy. The character of Chastity in particular is well-drawn, moving gracefully through an (*passing out*) impressive learning curve as all good round characters should.
I removed one star simply because I find Mike Flynn's personal crisis slightly -- just slightly -- over the top. He's mourning his first wife and dealing with some irrational sense of responsibility for her death. He's a sensitive man, of course, but he's also intelligent, and I found it hard to imagine that someone would carry around such a load of unjustified guilt for such a long time without figuring out what a waste of energy it is.
While this book has prequels, I think it stands fine on its own. I enjoyed it more than I did its predecessors, and anyone yearning for a sweet story and (finally!) a couple who waits for holy matrimony really ought to check it out.
