<mrs.featherpicker reviewing>I can understand what some of the neg reviews are about. It IS a tat on the predictable side as far as the characters go. However, looking past some of the obvious innuendo all throughout the story you can see how a family that was so wrongfully torn apart by greed and selfishness can start to came back together. Yes, there has to be the romantic leading man, and the author has him down pat, and the daughter, Rusty is an air head that's way too rich for her own good and that leaves the door wide open for every punch line ever used for that situation. You have to see behind it. The loneliness that each character has in their souls. I mean everyone even down to the pharmacy guy, the friend from the poker game whose wife had passed, Sam, Rusty's father that had to be without his daughter all those years, and not to mention our Hero, Luke! I mean Jeez! Of course his thoughts are constantly horny it seems but he is a man and that's pretty much how their batteries run but still he has heart and loneliness and finds hope in his growing infatuation with Rusty. I chuckled all the way through and even got a catch in my throat a couple times but the story was good. I think Ms.Conrad did a pretty good job with this story. I also love the cover! Before I read it I just thought it was colorful and o.k., after reading it it made great sense and I really smiled then! :)**note** I wanted to add that while I agree with some of the not so good reviews as to the lack of communication between these people, I have actually known people that are like that. Yes, you absolutely want to shake them till their teeth rattle and say "are you even awake to what is going on?" But still, it's still a darn good and funny read. Oh, especially the scene in the kitchen when Rusty mistakenly thinks that Becky (the Vet and Sam's love interest, is the one having an affair with Luke! LOL I can visualize that and laugh till I choke.
