This was such an entertaining book with a great cast of characters and hugely funny! ( )

What I really liked is the Jose's story. That's the only part in the book that really amused me. It's definitely over the top (crash AND fire ants AND skunk; got punched for something your dad DIDN'T do; burn your privates AND walk with mustard dropping from your shorts), nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot.
Everything else, alas, is just a standard fluff with a bit of Texan-native American flavor: pleasant, but instantly forgettable.

Я и не подозревала, сколько, оказывается, книг с этим названием :)

Teaser from the review:
Don't let the awful and dull cover fool you and deter you from reading this book; because it's a great, fun read.
This had been my first Christie Craig read, and I would've never picked it up if it weren't for the fact it was free on Amazon (as an E-book, of course). The kick ass name helped things, too, because it reminded me so much of all those movies when you stare at the screen and go all like SHUT UP AND KISS HER!
Well, thank you free e-books, I don't know what I'd do without you. ( )

With many story lines going at one time, this ends up being a confusing read. Yes it is light and fluffy, but a reader shouldn't need a score card to keep straight what story belongs to whom.

When we meet the protagonists it is just after Shala who is trying to help the mayor of the city of Precious Texas encourage more tourism. Shala has gone to a Pow-wow and instead of leaving her extremely expensive camera at the door to possibly get stolen, she takes it with her but does NOT take any pictures. That is against the rules. At the end of the Pow-Wow someone near her takes a picture and Shala is blamed and her camera is taken by Sky, the police Chief and a member of the Pow-Wow. There is a lot of stupid innuendo as to how if she pretty much begs at the end of the week (that is how long they confiscate the camera) and offers to shine Sky's boots she may get her camera back.

Right her is where I would have normally stopped reading and just trashed this book. But I had loved some of Ms Craig's other books and decided to keep going. I'm sorry I did as it wasted hours of my time that I could have spent reading something that didn't make my blood boil. I never realized that I could get so incensed by a man belittling (even in jest) a woman like that. I pout up with it in my historical romance because it is expected that they aren't writing about the 21st century. But upset I was. Yes it is fiction and just a story, but I had expected better from this author.

There is an ongoing joke about mustard and how it is good for b urns...it wasn't cute or funny.

And of course there has to be an ongoing investigation that forces Sky and Shala into closeness. The relationship felt forced and false, the adding of danger, was at best confusing at worst silly. The secondary and tertiary stories were actually more interesting than the main plot. The narrative was OK and the characterizations were just so-so. The best thing about this book was the price. ( )
