Summary: This book is HOT!
Review: Sultry Juliet Bridger was fed up with her phony Hollywood lifestyle and being hunted by the tabloids and paparazzi so she dyed her hair and took off on a road trip incognito. When her car breaks down outside of Plentiful, Wyoming, sexy veterinarian Cole Sheridan comes to her rescue and tows her into town. Cole has more important things than romance on his mind, like trying to find a nanny for his five orphaned nieces and trying to keep custody of them so he leaves Juliet at the service station. When a tabloid photographer hoping to get a juicy story steals Juliet's wallet, Juliet arranges to work off her debts at the service station and the local pub. In order to have a roof over her head, Juliet convinces the locals that she's really a kindergarten teacher and gets a job as Cole's nanny. Soon Juliet becomes the darling of Plentiful but she knows it will all end if her new friends find out she lied to them. Juliet and Cole also start a very steamy romance but Juliet knows it's just temporary even though she is falling in love.

The storyline is this book is great. The secondary characters are very well written and interesting. A secondary relationship between Ben, the tabloid photographer, and Juliet's backstabbing assistant adds a different dimension to the story.

This is one book you'll want to be sure to read.

Summary: not awful, but not so good either
Review: The book was somewhat entertaining, I guess, but it isn't great. And it definitely isn't one that I'll ever pull out for a second read. The main problem is that there is just way too much going on in the book. Let's see...you've got Juliet "on the run" with a secret identity, Juliet receiving threatening phone calls, Juliet's problem with the tabloids, Juliet's issue with her assistant, Cole's kids, Cole's vet practice, Cole's parents, and THEN you've got to fit the romance part of the story in there. Which basically leaves you with 8 little plots, none of which are developed very well (since there just isn't enough space for all of it). Plus, I think the whole story was supposed to take place in the span of about 2 weeks. The point is, everything in this book happens way too abruptly. Most romance novels are about quick-developing relationships, but there was something that was just too much about this one. The pace felt so unnatural that I was left turning the pages without any real interest in what was going on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A funny story
Review: Tired of being a tabloid darling, former actress Juliet Bridger has had enough of caviar society that has left her reputation tattered due to her ex husband Garrett Pierce who tried to have her accompany him when he was sent to prison. The star of Amazonia 2087 is bone weary of the paparazzi hiding in hope of catching her indecent. She needs to escape back to the potato salad crowd so she flees into the night.

In Plentiful, Wyoming, Juliet's car breaks down and she loses her wallet. The locals see her as a savior to their beloved veterinarian Dr. Cole Sheridan, who is suddenly raising five little nieces following the death of their mommy. Cole finds Juliet stuck on the side of the road in the sweltering heat though she uses the alias Autumn Leeves. When she meets his five renegades, Juliet finds her heat go out to them. Soon she also falls in love with her benefactor and the kind townsfolk, but wonders how her beloved will react when he learns she is the renowned Amazonia Juliet Bridger.

Fans will enjoy this amusing return to Plentiful due to the antics of the female terrorist quintet. The story line never takes itself too seriously yet has some underlying messages involving children and environment. Cole is the beleaguered Romeo wondering how he went from tending to animals to bobby socks and one gorgeous derriere so quickly. Patti Berg provides a funny story though a subplot involving a friend seems out of place in this warm tale of the bumpkin and the bimbo falling in love.
