This adult read comes from an author with a sense of humour and a flair for the dramatic.Lucky Albright drives into Temptation, Texas with hopes of finding work, but runs out of gas and has an accident involving a new pickup truck belonging to the lady bar owner. Lucky - well, she hasn't been so lucky in life. She's best working on a ranch in comfortable denims but she's desperate enough to take almost any job.Men are being catcalled and pinched by women in the Ugly Stick saloon tonight, for there is a ladies' only strip show and the male dancers are putting on a good turn. Lucky happens to smash some bottles in the stock room while asking for a job. Nobody is hurt so far, but she'll have to pay a lot back from her wages.Then Trent and Isaac meet her. They've inherited their father's ranch and one wants to keep it, the other to sell. There's a lot of on-going work and they can't cope themselves. One lad offers Lucky a job as ranch hand, and matters take off from there, with both brothers fancying the pants off the girl and Lucky, unused to male admiration, determined to be an independent woman.The town gets a five-minute tornado warning and some people cope better than others. My money's on Lucky.
