Summary: utter cheese, and not to good kind
Review: "She seemed the kind of woman no man could tame, the kind of woman no man in his right mind would want to tame. The kind of woman he had no business thinking about taming."

That about says it all. Read at your own risk, but be careful, your cringeing face may get stuck that way.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Am I missing something?
Review: Another great book from Berg. I highly suggest that you not miss this one. Sam and Jack's story is great with a lot of emotion (laughter, tears, anger) it is great. I read this book while flying home for a visit from England. I had not yet read any of her books but this one made the flight well...fly by. Don't miss it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: touching and sweet, but...
Review: I have previously read Stuck on You, Something Wild and Looking for a Hero. I've really enjoyed Patti Berg's books! They cause me not wanting to put the book down until it's over... It's a great read!

I didn't know to read the books in any sort of order so I was introduced to Jack and Samantha in Something Wild after they met... I really like how Patti Berg overlaps her characters, giving each their own story! This is about Jack Remington and Samantha Jones. Born to Be Wild contines with Jack's sister Lauren and Max Wild. Something Wild is about Max's sister Charity and Mike Flynn, Jack's best friend. Then Stuck on You is about Charity's old friend Logan Wolfe and Scarlett O'Malley!

Summary: This book was greattttt!
Review: I loved this book I was hooked to it the minute I started reading I love Sam and Jack's exchanges with one another Jack giving Sam money for "Charades" and her taking it for her own personal reasons reminded me a bit of my favorite movie Pretty Woman and that made stay up past my usual bed time to finish the whole book in one sitting. I recommand this book to everyone this is the first Patti Berg book I have read and it has made me a fan of her work. I plan to read the follow up stories to see what happens with Mike Jack's best friend and Lauren Jack's sister.

Something Wild is my next book

Summary: touching and sweet, but...
Review: i really liked the first half of this book, but then it went downhill for me. the second half wasn't terrible or anything, but it just dragged. the big problem i think was samantha. that was the first problem. she was just too hardheaded about jack to the point it was insane and unbelievably frustrated. i just didn't believe it. that she would fall totally in love with a man who treated her so generously and only tried to help her (help she desperately needed!), and she still snapped at him and would cut him down. and the idea that he kept coming back for more? uh-huh, just wasn't buying it. but at the same time, Patti Berg has an endearing way of writing and making you still root for her characters, so even that alone wasn't enough to turn me off. This is where the second problem comes in. Lauren, Jack's sister. She was simply ANNOYING! honestly, i could find nothing to like about her. she was flighty, completely self-absorbed, basically the stereotypical heiress - think Paris Hilton. Literally Lauren's big concerns in this book were which dress and shoes to get for a party that was coming up, and she would talk incessantly about shopping (if that doesn't make someone tedious and devoid of enough mental stimulation i really don't know what does!) Also i think it was suppoised to be cute or charming the way she would constantly charge all her several-thousand-dollar-shopping-sprees to her brother Jack, even though Lauren was excessively wealthy in her own right. i hated that! i wondered what kind of person is this?

the first half of this book drew me in a lot, but then the second half let me down with some annoying and one-dimensional characterizations. i did however adore jack! he makes up for a lot.

Summary: Wife for a Day by Patti Berg
Review: I was positively thrilled with this book! It grabs your full attention from the 1st couple of pages and holds it through the entire book! I just couldn't put it down.
Samantha is as down on her luck as you can get. She's had a hard childhood and her adult life isn't much better. Her home is an old, beat-up vw bug, she just lost her Mom and borrowed money from a ruthless loan shark to pay for her moms funeral and burial expenses. She's just been fired from her job as a tailor but before she goes she borrows a sewing machine for one last job for the millionaire rancher Jack.
Jack's fiancee has called it quits on the night of his sister's engagement ball. Jack knows how much his sister has been looking forward to meeting his fiancee and can't bear to disappoint her. So when Samantha arrives with his tux it seems that all of his problems are solved. He hires Samantha to pose as his fiancee for his sisters party. Samantha doesn't feel like she belongs in his world but she really needs the money so she agrees.
Even though it was only pretending they couldn't ignore the "real" sparks that flying between them.
This book has it all! Heartwarming and funny. You feel like you really get to know the characters in this book. The sparing between the two of them will have you laughing out loud through the biggest part of this book.
Read this book, You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't even think of buying it!
Review: This is my first Patti Berg book and I normally wouldn't have picked it up just because the cover was so cartoonish. Lesson: Don't judge a book by it's cover. I'm glad I grabbed it because it made me smile throughout and was a delightful, fun read. It starts out as a Cinderella story although Samantha is a little more direct and outspoken. Jack Remington is a rich cowboy who needs her services for just one night or will that be enough?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book made me Laugh!!!!
Review: This was my first Patti Berg book, but I can definately say that it won't be my last. I found her to be a refreshing writer who writes what she knows about and has characters who are real. Sammantha is an honest to God hard working young women who is just trying to make ends meet. Jack is a rich bachelor who will do anything to make his sister happy, even being unhappy himself. Then Sam comes to Jack's room to alter his tux and wham....the whole thing begins. I can't say that I blame Sam for taking the money to be Jack's wife-to-be when a loan shark is after her. ( I can't say that I blame her for going to the loan shark in the first place....to bury her mother.) I did find that the book "suddenly resolved" the problem of telling the family that Sam is Sam and not the real wife-to-be, but the love story of the two falling in love is enough to make anyones heart miss a beat.
