Customer Reviews

Just one kiss changes everything -- very highly recommended

Bounty hunter Max Gardner follows a lead for his quarry, Richard Carmichael, to Serenity, Wyoming. There he reaches a dead end, unable to locate either Richard or his sister. But he does meet Reagan McKenna, a beautiful red headed widow with two teen daughters. Their banter proves they have nothing in common except mutual desire. Although Max will soon move on, they can't seem to resist growing closer in the short time they will have together. When Max introduces himself to Reagan, he describes his job as "acquisitions." Seems appropriate since he can't possibly let the rumor mill learn either what he does or whom he seeks. Yet the more time he spends in Serenity and with Reagan, the more he wants to stay. Just one kiss makes him want all the things he's previously rejected, like permanence, picket fences, homework, a home.When her brother unexpectedly arrives while she and Max cuddle on the front porch, Max knows he must tell Reagan the truth. But he doesn't know how he can possibly tell the woman that he loves that he's here to arrest her brother. As he gets to know Richard the following day, flying kites and chatting, Max's dilemma only becomes more complicated.THAT WOMAN IN WYOMING is an engaging read, written with an excellent understanding of teen girls. The characters are richly developed remaining with the reader long after the last page is turned. Indeed, the rock climbing, determined daughter adds a realistic and entertaining flair to the novel, underscoring the difficult decisions parents must often make, and the mistakes they often make. Very highly recommended.

Great storytelling

Bounty hunters Max Gardner and Donovan Reed fail to find their target Travis Carmichael, but learn his sister lives in Serenity, Wyoming. The partners are surprised that they did not know Travis even had a sibling, but since the loser is supposedly close to his sister Ronnie, Max concludes she must be just like her brother, who uses friends like disposable diapers. Angry with their boss for not informing them about a key fact that is where they should have begun, Max still persuades a reluctant Donovan to go ahead on his vacation with his new wife Holly.While Donovan goes on to Cancun, Max travels to Wyoming where he literally runs into Reagan McKenna in the town's city hall. As Max becomes acquainted with Reagan and her teenage children, he begins to reassess his values, as he wants them in his life until he learns that Reagan is Ronnie.THAT WOMAN IN WYOMING is an enjoyable relationship romance that brings to the reader more than just a Hometown, USA story although those Harlequins are usually fun to read. The tale provides the audience with solid characters who care about one another, even a sad sack like Travis. Readers will enjoy this warming novel because Sherry Lewis makes her audience feel right at home with Max and Reagan's extended family.Harriet Klausner
