When Skye Wright saw flashing lights in her rearview mirror, she figured she’d just charm her way out of yet another speeding ticket. How could she have known that the handsome cop who stepped out of the police cruiser was a Studly Do-Right capable of taming the wild child right out of her?
It took less than two seconds for Sheriff Nathan Thornton to peg the sexy Skye as trouble. Maybe it was the way she shimmied her hips in that I Dream of Jeannie outfit. Or the huge stack of speeding tickets in her bag. Whatever it was, the woman was belly-dancing her way into his thoughts. Now if only she’d belly-dance into his bedroom…

In a lively sequel to her well-received "Good Girls Do", Linz pairs rebellious, flamboyant Skye Wright (the hippie-raised, wild-child sister from the previous story) with gorgeous, by-the-book Sheriff Nathan Thornton and lets the old saying that opposites attract prove itself. This funny romp gets off to a show-stopping start when Nate arrests Skye for speeding and the entire town turns out in protest. From there, the sparks and the laughter continue to fly in this upbeat, fast-paced story as a free-spirited, outspoken heroine and an ex-Marine hero unsuccessfully fight their attraction to each other and ultimately learn that there is more to each other, and themselves, than they had first thought. For all its zingy humor, this effervescent story has a serious side. Linz lives in Naperville, IL.Copyright 2006 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Starred review from November 1, 2006
Skye Wright creates excitement wherever she goes, whether teaching yoga to the high-school football team or instructing senior citizens on the finer points of belly dancing. When she is hauled off to jail by the stern but hunky cop Nathan Thornton, a man with a secret, there is an uproar among the fine citizens of Rock Creek. Life then improves radically for Skye when the lottery ticket she bought as a thank-you gift turns out to be a million-dollar winner. Owen, her quiet, wealthy friend, insists that she take the ticket back, a move not appreciated by his nephew and sole heir, while Skye, in her usual offbeat fashion, decides to buy, restore, and reopen the dilapidated Tivoli theater. Linz, known for her fast-paced, snappy romantic comedies, once again sparkles in this heartwarming, funny tale. And her secondary characters, particularly the generous Owen, Skye's New Age mother, and a kitten named Gravity, as well as Skye's overprotective daughter, Toni, who bites anyone she perceives as a threat to her mother, make an already excellent story exceptional.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
