This is a fast, funny, sizzling read...I'll definitely be looking for more from talented newcomer Dawn Atkins!

I spent last weekend reading this very sexy anf sometimes funny book by this new author. I enjoyed it very much. I have not been a Harelequin reader in the past but I think I am hooked.. The reason I obtained the book , a girl friend gave me her copy.Good Luck to this new author Best Nancy Jensen

After obtaining an MBA, Lacey Wellington wants to prove to her older brother Wade, CEO of Wellington Restaurant Corporation, that she can do the job. Lacey insists Wade give her no preferential treatment so he sends her to turn around their weakest property, their Uncle Jasper's restaurant- Amazatorium. When Jasper's six foot snake escapes, cowboy Max McLane assists Lacey in rounding up and capturing Monty. Lacey feels out of character as she immediately wants the ranch hand to make love to her and Max feels obsessed to do so though he tries to not give into his feelings. Max is a close friend of Wade and is doing him a favor by watching over Lacey. He hopes that when she learns the truth that he is an accountant and not a cowboy he can persuade her that they belong together in spite of his deception. THE COWBOY FLING is an amusing contemporary romance but requires the reader to accept Lacey wanting to do it on her own, choosing a family property with a "safety net". The story line is fun as Lacey and Max want one another but his fears of how she will react when she learns he is a CPA makes him try to keep his distance. Though written many times before, Dawn Atkins provides sub-genre fans with an amusing romantic romp that will provide several delightfully mirthful and sexy interludes.Harriet Klausner
