Her unbridled passion for life makes you feel refreshed as sift through all her exploits. Nathan starts off hardnosed and relentless but soon it is easy to see what kind of charmer he can really be. The combination of these two, makes him the Yin to her Yang. He is able to see past her jubilant exterior to the frightened woman within. As well as her seeing through his gruff outer shell to the compassionate being he really is. This is a novel truly not to be missed. Reviewed by Joyce Copyright © 2006 CK2S Kwips and Kritiques.

In Rock Creek Skye Wright detests authority figures so when Sheriff Nathan "Studley Do-Right" Thornton stops her for speeding she acts nasty towards him. He takes her in when she fails to produce the proper paperwork. The belly dancer takes this as an affront and that Nathan flaunted his authority. In her mind he initiated an act of hostility towards her that she plans to insure he will regret, which he does even before they reach the station as protestors wanting the belly dancing mommy go arrive too. Nathan is attracted to the wild woman though he does not want to care as he never moved past a personal tragedy involving his Annie. Adding to his discomfit is that he likes her four year old daughter although she is an apprentice bad girl too. Between the two Wright females, Nathan wonders what is right about his life if he lets them go. Skye, to her shock, feels the same way about the straightest person she ever met, but she believes her Studley still has Annie exclusively inside his heart. One thing is for sure Cathie Linz makes a case that opposites attract with this lighthearted contemporary romance starring two likable individuals who see life 180 degrees apart. The lead couple is a fun pairing though their conflict is minimal while the return of the eccentrics from GOOD GIRLS DO adds to the overall humor of the tale. Harriet Klausner
