Tracy’s review of Trouble in a Stetson (Sequins, Saddles & Spurs #2) by Regina Carlysle
Lola Lamont leaves Vegas with two pals, never imagining they’d break down in small-town Texas. So what’s a former showgirl to do when she runs smack dab into the hottest sheriff south of the Mason Dixon line? Why, jump his bones, of course!
Sam Campbell takes one look at the Vegas Bombshell and knows damn good and well she belongs in his bed. She probably has the words gold digger tattooed to her ass but he’s ready to take what the sexy blonde has to offer. Vowing to protect his heart, Sam rocks her world. Too bad she’s rocking his right back. Sam is more than ready to handle some sass, spunk and sex, but is he willing to gamble on love?
Lola decided, after getting canned from her job as a showgirl because she’s too old (30) and then having her fiancé break up with her, that she’s done with Vegas. Her and her two friends head out to the great beyond to have a grand adventure. The problem: they’re all broke and when the car breaks down in Texas they have no money, nowhere to stay and no way to pay for the repairs on the car. Oops.They head into the Blue Belle Café and meet 3 lovely men. One of those men is Sam Campbell, the local Sheriff. Sam and Lola hit it off right away and when they can’t deny their attraction any longer start a red hot affair. But is it an affair, or something much stronger and longer lasting?
I really liked this story. Lola, for all her hot sexy clothes, was just a really nice person. She was raised in a trailer park and wasn’t used to having a whole lot so was satisfied with the basics. That didn’t mean that she didn’t love her clothes and shoes but if they were all gone, she’d still be happy – she was very down to earth. I really liked that about her. She also knew that she had to work for what she wanted and when faced with being stuck with no money immediately took a waitressing job at Blue Belle’s. I have to admire any woman that’s not afraid to get down and dirty.
Sam was great as well. He was a quiet cowboy which I have a fondness for. He did instantly peg-hole Lola right away as a gold digger and rich man’s arm candy based only on her looks and the way she dressed – which pissed me off, but he learned his lesson the hard way.
Overall a very cute, very hot contemporary love story.
