This review is from: A Cowboy And A Kiss (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I admit to not being much of a fan of the cowboy stories, but Dianne Castell's talent for writing them is quickly changing my mind. If you have not read a Castell book, this is a perfect place to start.

Sophie Addison is a reserved financial attorney from Reno who makes her way to Tranquility, Texas to do a favor for her best friend, Sunny Kelly, a Reno showgirl: sell her recently deceased aunt's old saloon, the Smokehouse, so Sunny can settle some debts.

However when Sophie gets to Texas, she has an accident that leaves her without any memory of her previous life and is soon convinced that she is Sunny Kelly. Only instead of wanting to sell the saloon, she sees it as a great opportunity to help out a lot of people in town, especially the women of Tranquility.

The only thing standing in her way is the hottie cowboy Gray McBride who wants the Smokehouse saloon sold so he can build a bigger firehouse in its place and make good on a promise he made to the town if he was elected mayor, as well as a personal one he made to himself for his family. There's no way he was going to let this blonde, sassy showgirl get in his way.

Only sparks have a way of flying whenever those two are around each other, and as determined as they both are to succeed in their own mission, it becomes obvious that falling in love changes everything. Especially when the real Sunny shows up and Sophie's memory returns.

This book was sweet, funny, and sexy - a wonderful heartwarming story with enough heat to warm up those cold winter nights. Dianne Castell writes so wonderfully about small towns and cowboys that it sure does sound tempting to find one - the town AND the cowboyd. Each of Dianne's books gets better and better. I can't wait for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars She had me grinning by the second page., November 16, 2004

This review is from: A Cowboy And A Kiss (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Dianne Castell has written one smart, sexy and fun story.

She had me grinning by the second page. With a bump to the head a city lawyer thinks she a sexy Reno showgirl. She lands in the small Texas town Tranquility into the arms of hunky rancher Gray McBride who is running for mayor. Sophie/Sunny thinks she inherited a rundown cowboy bar. With the cast of broken down cowboys and pregnant barmaid she decides to keep the bar going. But Gray wants it for a new firehouse and it is part of his plans for being mayor.

It was fun watching the heat grow between Gray and Sophie. Dianne Castell writes with humor and warmth for her characters. I would buy any story penned by her.

Dianne has another winner here on this her latest release. This is a must read for those wanting a neat storyline and a fun read. Sophie Addison gets a bump on the head and ends up thinking she is Sunny the showgirl , who instead of trying to sell the old saloon as a favor to a friend instead endeavors to keep the saloon going. Now bring Gary McBride, who is running for mayor and making his priority to shut the saloon down into the equation. Sparks and chemistry runs high between the two. Making this a sexy, fun read. I look forward to more books from this author as I have enjoyed all her books to date and feel she only gets better with each release
