Shala Winters has been hired by the city of Precious, Texas to help bring in tourism to this small, dying town. Unfortunately, somebody doesn’t want her here…and they’re willing to kill her to prove it.
Sky Gomez is the lawman of Precious and it’s his job to keep her safe and out of trouble. But when she breaks cardinal rules of his tribe’s pow-wows on her first day in town, he confiscates her camera to keep her safe. It doesn’t matter that she has the cutest backside of any woman he’s seen lately, he also doesn’t believe the crap his foster father is spreading around town that Shala is Sky’s soul mate. Sky isn’t sure if the spirits talking to his foster father are real or convenient excuses from an old man wanting his son settled down.
When bullets start flying and dead bodies start appearing, it becomes clear that he’s got to work hard at his job to ensure the safety of his town---and Shala’s safety, too. With Shala and Sky so focused on her safety, will they drop the safeguards from around their hearts? Will true love be allowed to bloom, or will it be another conquest for the king of love-em and leave-em?
Wow, wow, wow! Christie Craig has hit an out of the park homerun with this one! I loved this story from start to finish and couldn’t put it down. Shala is truly all that and a bag of chips. She’s sexy, talented, smart and witty as can be. Her sense of humor lines up with mine so when she decides to zing you with a comment, you’ll know you’ve just been zinged.
Sky is a lean, mean, small town cop and a crime-fighting machine. While he respects the old ways of his people, he doesn’t totally believe everything about the spirits. He left the big city behind to return home and be closer to his foster family. With his dad spouting off around town that Shala is his soul mate, he can’t get a moment’s peace anywhere. Then the bullets start flying and things don’t ever look like they will calm down.
Don’t forget a naked man using douche in a bathtub, a man in a pink fuzzy robe and mustard on a penis and you’ve found a town you’ll never forget. Hilarious hi-jinx, steamy sex and a bit of a mystery thrown in for good measure. Can’t wait to see what Christie Craig dreams up next.
