March 15, 2008
Librarian Bonnie ONeal Schwartz Purdy has come to Dallas in 1895 as president of the Lone Star Ladies for Decency and Decorum. Promoter Cash McCalley is in townto stage a fight between Gentleman Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons, something the Lone Star Ladies deem neither decent nor decorous. As leader of the esteemed womens organization, Bonniescivic obligations must come first, even though, in spite of being twice burned, she cant shake her annoying attraction to the great-looking, fast-talking Cash. Once again, Gentry creates a wildly witty storythats chock-full of loveand laughter. For readers who enjoy humorous historical romances featuring feisty females, such as Nancy J. Parras A Wanted Man (2002).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
