Setting: Contemporary Arizona
Sensuality Rating: 8

Y2K complicates Boston PR whiz Tess O'Mara's life when an extra million dollars appears in her bank account. Only after she's spent a chunk of it does Tess discover that it's not the bonus she expected from her fabulously wealthy boss for a job well done. And whoever the money does belong to wants it back--bad. Forced into hiding, Tess heads for Almost, Arizona, to find her brother's old friend and Mel Gibson look-alike, Sheriff Jake McCall. Not your average small-town sheriff, Jake is just the man to keep Tess safe. Or is he? Tess finds her heart is in dire danger of being left behind in Almost with its quirky cast of characters, mysteriously compelling Mogollon cave dwellings, and one very sexy lawman. --Alison Trinkle

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best authors in romance, December 12, 1999

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

On December 31, 1999, in Boston harbor, public relations specialist Tess O'Mara hosts a shipboard party that she has planned, dreamed, and is now executing for the past two years. For the next six-months, guests will sail on a luxurious cruise to celebrate the new millennium. Her boss promises Tess a large bonus. Since he is rich and willing to spend money, Tess expects a generous bonus.

On New Year's Day 2000, Tess checks to see if the expected reward has made it into her bank account. The ATM informs her she has $1,000,000 in her account. Tess is a bit surprised, but since she successfully pulled off the opening Millennium event that will bring in millions to the business, she believes it might be hers.

After spending a large sum of money, Tess calls her brother a T-man who tells her to leave town immediately. He thinks a Y2K glitch has deposited illegal money in her account. She goes to the safety of Almost, Arizona where his friend T.J. McCall is sheriff. The two opposites feel the immediate attraction and begin to fall in love, but must contend with the money launderers who have traced Tess to Arizona. Even if they live, they know she belongs in Boston while he belongs in Almost.

2000 KISSES centers on a Y2K financial glitch that leads readers to a taut romantic suspense. The fast-paced story line contains humorous elements mostly provided by the secondary cast who want the charming lead couple to remain together. Indian mysticism adds a bit of local flavor to the mix. With exciting novels like 2000 KISSES, the sky's the limit for the incomparable Christina Skye.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW - What a page turner!, January 3, 2000

By	CJ Bookreader "cjbookreader" (Texas) - See all my reviews

First book of Ms. Skye's that I had the pleasure to read -- Very timely story with Y2K just happening! Tess is a very successful ad-exec who finds $1M mysteriously deposited into her bank account on 1/1/2000. After a spirited spending spree (she ends up with a baby blue Mercedes Convertable! ), Tess finds out that she's spent someone's money; that someone being a very dangerous group money launderers etc... She has to run for her life, at her brother's recommendation to a little town, Almost Arizona. She ends up with a Cowboy/Sherriff that is Mel Gibson's lookalike (WOW If I could have that kind of luck!).

She finds that she's spiritually drawn to the town through American Indian mysticism & ancient spirits that beckon to her.

Its a really cool story - very imaginitive. TJ McCall is one very sexy man! I read the book in 2 days; couldn't put it down.

Ms. Skye has given readers a rare treat with her new book 2000 Kisses. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining read. Pour yourself a glass of bubbly, kick back and bring the millenium in in style, as Ms. Skye has done with her new book.
