Millionaire rancher Jack Remington hadn't expected trouble when he flew to Palm Beach for his sister's engagement ball. But his girlfriend called it quits and now his sister is anxious to meet the woman who's captured his heart. Then, a beguiling, flame-haired enchantress breezes into his hotel room with a tux and a seductive smile, and Jack's sure his troubles have come to an end. All he has to do is hire the beautiful tailor to be his fiancee—for just one night.

Samantha Jones is sure the sexy cowboy is out of his ever—lovin' mind. She's never been to a ball, never worn a fancy gown, and has no idea how to act like a socialite. She can't possibly pose as his wife-to-be. But trouble's been following Sam for too many months and the money Jack's offering is something she can't refuse. There's only one problem—their pretend kisses make her feel something very real—and there's the possibility that just one night will never be enough.

Product description

From Amazon

Setting: West Palm Beach, Florida, and Wyoming, present day
Sensuality rating: 7

Samantha Jones's life just can't get much worse. Freshly fired from her tailoring job, she's living in her ancient VW bug, owes a loan shark thousands for her prostitute mother's funeral, and last--but surely not least--is staring at a big ol' hunk of a millionaire cowboy dressed in nothing but a black silk thong who wants her to pretend to be his fiancée for the night. (Okay, maybe that part's not so bad.) Jack Remington--the big ol' hunk in question--isn't having a great day, either. The airlines lost his luggage, including the tuxedo he needs to wear to a party for his beloved baby sister's engagement to a polo-playing playboy; his fiancée called off their engagement; and the tall, buxom woman with wild, red hair standing in his hotel room holding his new tux has just told him maybe his underwear need to be altered! Only an author of Patti Berg's caliber can turn this inauspicious beginning into a match made in heaven. Jack's sister is so happy to see him finally settling down that he just can't bring himself to tell her that his wealthy, successful fiancée dumped him and the woman with him at the engagement party is a fraud. So Jack makes Sam an offer she can't refuse--pretend to be his fiancée for just a little while longer and he'll pay off her debt to Johnnie Russo, West Hollywood's toughest creditor. But Sam and Jack both find their make-believe romance too easy to believe and too hard to let go. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll root for this seemingly mismatched couple to make theirs the love of a lifetime. --Alison Trinkle

Since that time, Patti has had numerous other novels published, many of them landing on the USA Today bestseller list and winning awards.

Patti has been called "one of the best spinners of tales the genre has to offer" by Affaire de Coeur magazine and "an exceptional voice in the field of romantic fiction" by Romantic Times. The Dallas Morning News calls her books "Excellent!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous romantic comedy....A Must Read!
Reviewed in Canada on February 18, 2002
I was positively thrilled with this book! It grabs your full attention from the 1st couple of pages and holds it through the entire book! I just couldn't put it down.
Samantha is as down on her luck as you can get. She's had a hard childhood and her adult life isn't much better. Her home is an old, beat-up vw bug, she just lost her Mom and borrowed money from a ruthless loan shark to pay for her moms funeral and burial expenses. She's just been fired from her job as a tailor but before she goes she borrows a sewing machine for one last job for the millionaire rancher Jack.
Jack's fiancee has called it quits on the night of his sister's engagement ball. Jack knows how much his sister has been looking forward to meeting his fiancee and can't bear to disappoint her. So when Samantha arrives with his tux it seems that all of his problems are solved. He hires Samantha to pose as his fiancee for his sisters party. Samantha doesn't feel like she belongs in his world but she really needs the money so she agrees.
Even though it was only pretending they couldn't ignore the "real" sparks that flying between them.
This book has it all! Heartwarming and funny. You feel like you really get to know the characters in this book. The sparing between the two of them will have you laughing out loud through the biggest part of this book.
Read this book, You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book made me Laugh!!!!
Reviewed in Canada on October 3, 2000
This was my first Patti Berg book, but I can definately say that it won't be my last. I found her to be a refreshing writer who writes what she knows about and has characters who are real. Sammantha is an honest to God hard working young women who is just trying to make ends meet. Jack is a rich bachelor who will do anything to make his sister happy, even being unhappy himself. Then Sam comes to Jack's room to alter his tux and wham....the whole thing begins. I can't say that I blame Sam for taking the money to be Jack's wife-to-be when a loan shark is after her. ( I can't say that I blame her for going to the loan shark in the first place....to bury her mother.) I did find that the book "suddenly resolved" the problem of telling the family that Sam is Sam and not the real wife-to-be, but the love story of the two falling in love is enough to make anyones heart miss a beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Story - Quick Read
Reviewed in Canada on December 12, 2003
I have previously read Stuck on You, Something Wild and Looking for a Hero. I've really enjoyed Patti Berg's books! They cause me not wanting to put the book down until it's over... It's a great read!
I didn't know to read the books in any sort of order so I was introduced to Jack and Samantha in Something Wild after they met... I really like how Patti Berg overlaps her characters, giving each their own story! This is about Jack Remington and Samantha Jones. Born to Be Wild contines with Jack's sister Lauren and Max Wild. Something Wild is about Max's sister Charity and Mike Flynn, Jack's best friend. Then Stuck on You is about Charity's old friend Logan Wolfe and Scarlett O'Malley!

Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2002
I loved this book I was hooked to it the minute I started reading I love Sam and Jack's exchanges with one another Jack giving Sam money for "Charades" and her taking it for her own personal reasons reminded me a bit of my favorite movie Pretty Woman and that made stay up past my usual bed time to finish the whole book in one sitting. I recommand this book to everyone this is the first Patti Berg book I have read and it has made me a fan of her work. I plan to read the follow up stories to see what happens with Mike Jack's best friend and Lauren Jack's sister.
Something Wild is my next book

3.0 out of 5 stars A light cowboy romp...
Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2001
My first Berg novel. Samantha, the homeless, in-debt to a loan shark, outspoken, living in her VW bug title character is a hoot. The romance and wooing scenes could have been more spicy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Light Romance....
Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2001
This is my first Patti Berg book and I normally wouldn't have picked it up just because the cover was so cartoonish. Lesson: Don't judge a book by it's cover. I'm glad I grabbed it because it made me smile throughout and was a delightful, fun read. It starts out as a Cinderella story although Samantha is a little more direct and outspoken. Jack Remington is a rich cowboy who needs her services for just one night or will that be enough?

Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2002
Another great book from Berg. I highly suggest that you not miss this one. Sam and Jack's story is great with a lot of emotion (laughter, tears, anger) it is great. I read this book while flying home for a visit from England. I had not yet read any of her books but this one made the flight well...fly by. Don't miss it!

This was the first book I have read by this author. It had a funny great beginning, although I admit it slowed down some towards the end. I still recommend it and I intend on reading some of the other books by this author.

Loved it! Characters were sweet and sexy. Seemed to go well together. I had actually read the 2nd book of this series first so I knew some more things than I should of. Didnt ruin it though. I gave it 4 stars because it never resolved something and now I'm left wondering. Dont want to say what for spoilers but I'm a little annoyed about it. Other than that, loved it!

This is the second Patti Berg book I have read and I truly liked it. It is a "Pretty Woman" book. Poor woman, rich man. She has street smarts and he is larger than life. The secondary characters are great. Truly a good book to cuddle up with on a lazy day. I recommend it
