amusing chick lit tale, May 25, 2005
This review is from: Confessions Of A Wicked Woman (Paperback)
Maysfield Sheriff Jack Logan thought his worse two problem are the imminent flood and living down his reputation as a town bad boy during his wild oats youth. He soon realizes he is way off in his assessment when he pulls Stephanie Monroe out of the creek where she sank her SUV. She is in town seeking her runaway business partner..
Jack takes a soaked Stephanie to the sheriff's office where dressed to the part she pretends to be an L.A bad girl. Jack can see through her fake image to the small girl- sweet woman that Stephanie tries to hide. As the townsfolk complain about Stephanie's outrageousness and Jack is forced to arrest her for indecent behavior that even he as a reformed bad guy knows is nothing, they fall in love, but she fled a hometown that is a clone of Maysfield for the bright city lights.
This amusing chick lit tale centers on the premise that Jack was once a bad boy while Stephanie was once a good girl, but both easily sees inside the other to a caring heart. The amusing tale focuses on Jack knowing he should not fall in love with the transient, but does and Stephanie knowing that she should not fall in love with the local yokel but she does. Susanna Carr provides a wickedly hot humorous fun tale.

A gem from page one, June 28, 2005
This review is from: Confessions Of A Wicked Woman (Paperback)
Confessions of a "Wicked" Woman is a charming tale by Susanna Carr.
Sheriff Jack Logan feels in over his head. He has his former bad boy rep to live down and the legend of his father to live up to as sheriff. To top it all off a major flood is coming to his small town of Mayfield. He rescues Stephanie Monroe from a sinking car and all his bad boy ways come screaming back.
Stephanie Monroe is only in this small town to get her business partner back to L.A. On her first day in Mayfield she is tossed in jail. Bad enough her mind keeps wandering to the hunky sheriff. She has her life all planned out and living in a small town is not in her day planner.
Jack and Stephanie are funny, sweet and oh so hot. They both fight this attraction but lord when they give in it's a scorcher.
Susanna Carr writes with such humor and passion in every word. The characters just come alive on the pages. Looking forward to her next book.

Light summer read, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Confessions Of A Wicked Woman (Paperback)
Stephanie is furious with her business partner/friend Venus. Unfortunately for their business, Venus has decided to extend her vacation in her home town of Mayfield, even if it means flaking on their biggest client yet. On her way to retriving the obstinant Venus, Stephanie is caught in a flash flood. Luckily for Stephanie, she is saved by Sherif Jack Logan. The same can not be said of her clothes.
Unbeknownst to Stephanie, the town of Mayfield has passed a city ordinace restricting the type of clothing people can wear, and after her dunking in the flood, Stephanie doesn't measure up. Miscommunication results in good girl Stephanie being mistakenly classified as a bad girl. Stephanie decides to use this to her advantage to play out her fantasies. The object of her fantasies is Sherif Jack Logan.
Sherif Jack Logan is trying to live down his bad-boy reputation and live up to his Dad's reputation, as the former sherif. He knows he should stay away from Stephanie, but she is too much temptation for his wild side to resist.
When Stephanie and Jack come together sparks fly! However, their time together is bittersweet because they both think it won't last. He won't leave his hometown, and she will never go back to small town life.
How will it all end? Jack and Stephanie both seem to want different thing out of life, but their feelings for each other are undeniable. A plot twist involving Venus makes the ending somewhat unpredictable.
I think that this book is a good summer read (or anytime you want something light). There was not as many steamy parts as other books in the Wicked Woman series, but what was there was good (The jail cell scene was definitely worth the read). I don't think I will read this book again, but I'm glad that I did. I recommend it to any fan of ChickLit, especially those who have read and liked Wicked Woman books.
