Summary: Patti Berg does it again!
Review: Another entertaining book! As someone else pointed out, Juliet does accomplish a lot in a short period of time. I couldn't do all that in a month. However, the mix of her and Cole was great. Unlike some books I've read the kids don't steal the stage. Cole's desire to hang onto the kids and Juliet's desire to help him is touching. And their desire for each other is hot! And I loved revisiting the characters from "Stuck On You"!

Summary: choppy, too much going on
Review: As the other "honest reviewers" have said: There is WAY too much going on in this book. The "sub-plots" don't hold together well either. I was left with a host of unanswered questions:1. When does this woman SLEEP?
2. Why is Cole attracted to her anyway - the description of her sounds VERY "hooker-like".
3. Why did she just slam the door in Nicole's face, she should have called the police on her and pressed charges.
4. Why do we get to hear about Scarlett's pregnancy, but never get to hear about the birth. (why bait us and then leave us hanging??)
5. How long a time span are we talking here for these two to "fall in love"? It seemed like about 3 days.
6. Why is Cole so easily forgiving of all her lies? That just wouldn't fly with me. Especially for someone in charge of his kids.
7. What about Ben? - also a bad subplot.
8. Why did Juliet have to work so long at the bar just to pay off a lunch? Wouldn't a few hours have sufficed? Didn't she make any tips she could've paid it off with? I was pretty disappointed in this book. However the author is generally pretty good and I'll still give her a try with the next book she has to offer.

Summary: Not Her Best
Review: I know others have loved this book so these remarks are definitely my own opinion. I gave 3 stars because of the flow of the words and the sparkly dialogue. But I had problems staying with the story. My first problem is with the disguise thing. It was OK if you go for the hooker look My big complaint is the constant bubble gum. It drove me crazy after awhile. It wasn't needed and got in the way of the story. It was like hearing someone use the word "basically" to begin every sentence. Arrgh! Next, I have a definite problem with h/h meeting and falling into bed shortly. Only to call it for real and everlasting love. 1 1/2 days before sex is pretty much shortly. Lust I can believe in. Not true love. Editing is sloppy. When Cole's hippie parents arrive, we are told that Joplin re-named herself after her favorite OD'd rock star, Janice. This was corrected to Janis on the next page and not repeated. Then, more toward the end, the twins are mentioned. Huh? I believe the "twins" were triplets. Stuff like that just jerks me right out of any story. No excuse for it. What else do editors have to do but edit? The whole story takes place in too short a time frame for all that Juliet/Autumn accomplishes. Tending bar at night, nanny to 5 small girls by day. 3 in diapers. And solving everybody's problems while she's at it. Painting Joe's Gas and Bait Shop in her spare time. Having hot sex with Cole whenever. All this in 3-4 days and without breaking a nail or chipping her pink polish. As far as I could tell, she only slept one night in the whole book. Wish I could do that. I enjoyed the crazy villaness. She was pretty obsessive. Sort of reminded me of Ursula the sea witch in "The Little Mermaid". But she gets a nice comeuppance at the end. I know there was at least 1 previous book set in Plentiful, Wyoming. I haven't read it. It doesn't really matter as this book stands alone. Even though characters from the previous book are here. And they are characters. Which is as it should be in a small town. Characters help the story move along. A lot of stuff happens in this book. Too much, I think. The malpractice thing could have been left on the editing floor. It didn't really advance the plot. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me but these are my honest opinions. I'm glad I read the book but it won't be going on my keeper shelf. But I will read future Berg books.

Summary: A cute story...
Review: Juliet keeps me smiling when she lands in the small town of Plentiful wearing her hot pink tight clothes and never without her Jimmy Choo heels on her feet. True to another review, there is alot going on in this book. Juliet arrives in Plentiful intending to only stay a couple of days but things happen and she has no choice but to extend her visit. In this small town, Juliet finds the meaning of what true happiness is.

Summary: Good for a relaxing read but be prepared to be overwhelmed
Review: Patti Berg's second book on the town of Plentiful, Wyoming is good for light reading and it is quite enjoyable. I agree with some other reviewers who said she crammed quite a lot of information in this one book and everything seems to have happened within a few days.
There are quite a number of things that are underdeveloped and on hindsight, the book feels like Patti Berg had thrown everything AND the kitchen sink into the story and strung together the ones that stuck.
Juliet, for example, is a former B-grade actress and famous for 7 slasher movies, had the heroine of software game Amazonia modelled after her, is a famous mystery novelist, and can work as a bartender, as well as repaint a gas station and be a nanny to five girls including a set of triplets, after the previous 14 nannies quit. She was also estranged from her dad and could not make amends in time before he died, her tycoon of an ex-husband is in jail for embezzlement and her assistant has been betraying her for years.
Cole, the hero, is a vet, who was brought up by hippie parents and whose sister died leaving five orphaned girls. He is being sued for malpractice after a mare died giving birth to a foal. His parents, who were in Tibet and did not bother to come back when his sister died, want custody of the girls, and his father is currently in his 17th month of keeping silent, part of a five-year pledge not to talk.
I hope you get what I mean when I say she has crammed a lot of details and character developments, mostly unnecessary, in this book. Those things aside, like I said earlier, this is an enjoyable read. I recommend renting or borrowing the book instead of buying it.
