Book Description

Publication Date: November 23, 2010

[BookStrand Contemporary Romance] International wine director Lucky Stryker, the "Lucky Lady," is lucky in the boardroom, but unlucky in love. But the last thing she expects is to land in the arms of a cowboy during the Tom Jones Club convention. A hot week with a cowboy in Las Vegas is one thing-eternity is another. Fearing that any woman he gets involved with will leave him-the way his mother left his father-Eric Blake chooses women who are guaranteed to fulfill that prophecy. And Lucky Stryker is no exception. When Lady Luck throws the red-hot dice, Lucky and Eric cash in on a red-hot, sizzling romance. So when their pasts catch up to them, and neither is who they appear to be, they are forced to answer these questions, "Can their hearts keep the promises their bodies have been making?" and "Will they finally get lucky in love?" ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance

Review

Mary's Review from Happily Ever After Reviews

Not only was Lucky and Eric interesting but the whole Tom Jones storyline as well. Mona and the other characters were great to read including the whole Tom Jones thing going on. Kathy did a great job and definitely a great book to read.

From the Author

I would love to introduce you to Lucky Stryker and the Tom Jones Club. In one review, Lucky was described as "not your usual romance heroine." If you've read my first novel, you know that my stories are going to be about the heroine, her inner strength and vulnerability, and the journey to break down the wall she has built on the outside.

Meet Lucky Stryker:

Until that flight to Vegas, I was the girl who looked like a million bucks on the outside, but felt like the poor starving girl on the inside.

Until that flight to Vegas, I was the girl who had no trouble attracting men, but who went home alone.

Until that flight to Vegas, I was the girl who never had a "best friend forever"--never trusting women--or men for that matter.

But all of that changed when I met Mona and THE TOM JONES CLUB.

More About the Author

Kathy Holmes was born in Los Angeles but grew up in nearby Orange County halfway between Disneyland and the beach.

Tantalized by the tropics since Adam Troy set sail on the Kon Tiki in James A. Michener's "Adventures in Paradise," she's traveled to tropical destinations such as Hawaii, Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Asia Pacific. Eventually, she moved to Florida where she wrote and secured representation for her first published novel, REAL WOMEN WEAR RED. She also wrote for Walt Disney World, fulfilling two dreams at once.

Her second novel, THE TOM JONES CLUB, published by Bookstrand Mainstream Romance, begins its journey in Orlando and finds its way to Las Vegas. She credits her step dad for the inspiration because, like a character out of Mad Men trying to quit smoking, he drove the family to Las Vegas to keep his hands busy playing craps. Kathy was seven at the time and remembers doing her homework in the family station wagon while being mesmerized by the neon lights.

Las Vegas is also the setting for her short story VIVA LAS VEGAS, included in the anthology A SHAKER OF MARGARITAS: HOT FLASH MOMMAS, published by Mozark Press.
