GREAT STORY -- Great story teller [author] --But Adultery????? HuH! takes all kinds!Loved the pic of Lucas [grin] can't really imagine it! And Priscilla, a very determined little lady who worked at living.Pic on back must have been the sister, Jeanette, the little scoundrel.Would like to hear more about Mick and does Jeanette ever really find Robert? Flora was some piece of work! It was so easy to get involved with all of these characters and that makes a great story.I Highly Recommend this book to all mature readers with an Excellent --M but don't look for this kind of guy in real life - he will break your heart.

This book starred one of the most delicious heroes I've seen in ages! Lucas is heroic (in the very best sense of the word), sexy through and through, and downright easy to fall for. Watching two best friends discover their love for one another was a joy to read. Heartwarming, funny, charming, emotional, richly rewarding, and beautifully written. A keeper!

This is a perfect "take me away from it all" book, with the usual Law touch of warm, lovable characters. The hero was adorable.

The Last Man In Town had me smiling all the way through. This is what a romance should be.

In 1860 all the healthy males leave Maple Falls in search of gold except for Lucas Garrett. Sounds like male heaven, but to a weary Lucas it plays more like hell. With one noted exception, every female in town wants a piece of him. Needing a good night's sleep, Lucas turns to the model on proper behavior Priscilla Wentworth for help. He asks her to fake an engagement with him so that he becomes hands off to all the hungry women. She agrees if he finds her a real husband. As he searches for a mate for Priscilla, he treats her like a fiancee. His kisses make Priscilla realize she has found her soul-mate. Though he is jealous of his own actions, Lucas does not realize that he is the right spouse for Priscilla. The humorous story line centers around the antics of Lucas, a renowned philanderer, trying to thwart the advances of an army of women and ultimately legitimize his compassionate relationship with his pretend fiancee. The lead characters are fully developed as their motives are loud and clear. The supporting players add jocular depth that turns THE LAST MAN IN TOWN into a fabulous American romance. Justice will be served if award winning Susan K. Law has another best seller.Harriet Klausner
