Overview

"Quirky, touching and fun!" -- New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Andersen

Welcome to Precious, Texas, where fistfights serve as dinner theater and fire ants rain from the sky. The locals are usually very friendly, if a bit eccentric. No pictures please, or you may find yourself a guest of the county morgue....

Photojournalist Shala Winters already had her hands full bringing tourism to this backward, podunk town, but her job just got tougher. Pictures can say a thousand words, and one of Shala's is screaming bloody murder. Now she has to entrust a macho, infuriating lawman with her life -- but she'll never trust him with her heart.

Trusted or not, Sky Gomez isn't about to let a killer get his hands on Shala's Nikon -- or any of her more comely assets, for that matter. Her mouth might move faster than a Piney Woods roadrunner, but all he can think about is how good it must taste...and how she'll never escape true love.

BONUS CONTENT:

In the back of the book, get a sneak peak at Christie's newest contemporary romance, DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS, due out from Forever Books on September 1st!

AND you'll also be introduced to Shadow Falls with the first few chapters of BORN AT MIDNIGHT, Christie's YA paranormal series written as C. C. Hunter! BORN AT MIDNIGHT is currently available wherever books are sold and the second book in the series, AWAKE AT DAWN, will be released on October 11th.

New York Times Bestselling Author Kerrelyn Sparks
Christie Craig will crack you up!
Publishers Weekly
Craig (Divorced, Desperate and Deceived) turns her latest smalltown romance into a delightful comedy of errors. Hired by the mayor of Precious, Tex., to do a PR shoot that will draw visitors to the tiny town, photojournalist Shala Winters dodges burglars, would-be assassins, and vandals while tangling with sexy police chief Sky Gomez, who doesn't want her taking pictures of Native American rituals and turning Precious into a tourist trap. Sky doesn't believe in soul mates, though his foster fath

Romantic Times
An exciting, fast-moving story with wonderfully intriguing characters, an interesting mystery, plenty of sexual tension, drool-worthy men and a large dollop of humor. The main characters are great, but it's the secondary ones and their relationships that make this story special. -- 4 1/2 stars

    Very funny at times. Loved the hospital portion with Red and Veronica!

    Loved this book, although predictable at times with the comedy, it was very funny. I laughed out loud several times for a few minutes as it went on for a couple of pages. Loved the writing in this book. Keep it up Christie! Please, write faster!

    not as good as her other works.

    i like mx craig's books (even if the electronic versions are often riddled with mistakes) but this was her weakest effort. Sky Gomez is weirdly contradictory (he's going to stay away, he can't stay away!) that comes off less conflicted and interesting and more like choppy storytelling. Shala Winters is boring mess, she has no personality but for some reason everyone loves her. craig relies way to much on common romance tropes which become repetitive and irritating - how many times can he touch her cheek or lift her chin with two fingers? turns out in this book, too often. secondary plots kept me reading, which is why this is two stars and not one. i hope her next effort is less disappointing.

    Loved it. Had me at "hello".

    Fast moving and interesting from page one. Real characters that you like and understand. This girl certainly knows how to write an "intimate" scene. Will definitely read more by Ms. Craig.

    Loved this book!

    "It says in the brochure...." (the most hysterical line in the book) I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down! Read this in one day. Happy ending, although I came up with my own conclusions, I would have loved to have read about it. Great book!
