Bride for a Night

Patti Berg has done it again with a fast-paced, fun read, full of heart and delightful characters. Indiana Jones has nothing on Duncan Kincaid, a hunk of an adventurer who's quest for a lost treasure has brought him to Sanctuary, Montana. His ex-wife, Cairo McKnight, embarks on an adventure of her own when she decides that her son needs his father. But is Duncan father- material, or the irresponsible adverturer who left her after only one night of marriage? Cairo vows to find out before she takes the step to unite Duncan with the son he doesn't know he has. Duncan and Cairo have great chemistry and heat up the pages with their attraction to each other. Ms. Berg also gives the reader a tender secondary love story between Cairo's free-spirited aunt and Duncan's father, a widower who needs a little nudge to take another chance on life.Thoroughly enjoyable!

Both Cairo and Duncan have made mistakes in their pasts. They both had many issues to overcome in order to put their lives back together and the timing and the way Ms. Berg brings them back together left me laughing and crying and not wanting to put the book down! The secondary characters added so much sparkle to this book without overshadowing the hero and heroine! The attention to detail with the Mayan ruins was wonderful! I absolutely loved this book as much as I have all of Patti's books!

If you haven't read a book by Patti Berg, you've been missing out on one of the best romance authors there are. Her books never fail to make me laugh and cry and fall in love all over again. After reading WIFE FOR A DAY, I eagerly awaited the release of BRIDE FOR A NIGHT. Not only did this fun and touching story meet my expectations, but Patti Berg surpassed them! If you enjoy only the best in contemporary romance and are an Indian Jones fan, BRIDE FOR A NIGHT is sure to end up on your keeper self too.

Adventure seeking archeologist Duncan Kincaid and classic archeologist Cairo McKnight hastily marry in Vegas and share an incredible evening of lovemaking.

He is arrested and while he lingers in jail, a disappointed Cairo annuls their marriage before finding out she is pregnant.Four years and one month later, Cairo feels guilty about ignoring Duncan's efforts to explain his actions and worse yet, hiding his son Dylan from him. Though desperate to save her tour business from going bankrupt, she uses it as a ploy to try to patch up their relationship. Though hurt by her ignoring his pleas, insulted by her offer to serve as a tour guide, and about to make a great discovery, Duncan sees an opportunity to regain the woman he loves. Will he choose pride and fame or a chance for love?Readers of contemporary romance know that Patti Berg provides entertaining tales centering on miscommunication. Her latest tale, BRIDE FOR A NIGHT, is an exciting story that focuses on the need for meaningful dialogues to cement a relationship. The lead couple is an endearing duo though the audience will wonder how Duncan never knew about his child. Still, as with BRIDE FOR A NIGHT and WIFE FOR A DAY, Ms. Berg paints a wonderful story that will please sub-genre fans.Harriet Klausner
