Charity Wilde didn't come all the way to Wyoming just to be saddled with some cowboy! The leggy showgirl only wants a quiet time with family before she heads back to Vegas. So why do Mike Flynn's emerald eyes make her knees go weak? Fame is just around the corner -- and Charity wants to be a star...not a rancher's wife!Upright Mike has his own reasons for not wanting to get involved with this Wilde woman. But reason takes a back seat to passion -- and the sparks flying between them are about to start one hell of a blaze! Their life goals are too different for this to work -- unless a showbiz beauty and a sinfully gorgeous cowboy can somehow find another dream that includes them both. Something like...love perhaps?

About the Author

Always a romatic, Patti Berg spent her childhood dreaming about being whisked away by a knight in shining armor, a devil-may-care swashbuckler, a sheik on a shiny black stallion, or a broad-shouldered cowboy with a Stetson tilted low on his brow. Now she spends her days making up stories in which her heroes do whatever she wants them to. It's almost as good as a dream coming true, she confesses.

Currently working on her next book for Avon Books, Patti hopes she'll have a long career sharing her dreams and fantasies with others.

USA Today bestselling author Patti Berg started writing in fifth grade. That first writing attempt turned into a play that she and a couple of friends produced as a puppet show for hospitalized children. Years later, in 1994, Patti’s dream of becoming a published author came true with the release of her first book, ENCHANTED. 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!"

Patti, husband Bob, and their very big Newfoundland dog named Riley live in Missouri!

At the end of BORN TO BE WILD, we found Max Wilde discovering his sister had been found. In SOMETHING WILD, Charity Wilde, takes some R&R from Las Vegas' bright lights and heads to Wyoming to see Max, his wife Lauren and Jack and Sam Remington. She never expected to meet up again with Mike Flynn, the pastor who married Max and Lauren and whom Charity snubbed at the wedding reception. But meet again, they do, and when they do the sparks fly.
Mike, a widower for 6 years & now the manager of Sam's ranch (and still a minister), has no intention of ever getting married again. Charity, out to prove to the world that showgirls can indeed be virtuous, has no intention of getting involved with any man. These good intentions are quickly put to the test with the help of Satan. But this Satan is a mustang bent on spiriting away two beautiful & quite expensive horses Jack planned on giving Sam as a gift. Mike is adamant about catching and taming Satan;Charity is just as adamant that some wild things should never be tamed. What ensues is a battle of wills and desire. Mike and Charity develop deep feelings for one another, yet neither is willing to take the final step and make the ultimate show of trust and sacrfice.
SOMETHING WILD is a great follow-up to BORN TO BE WILD. The plot is fresh and very much believable; the characters are endearing and sympathetic. There's humor laced with poignancy as the hero and heroine battle their own personal demons as well as one four-legged one. The book left me eagerly anticipating the next one, Logan Wolfe's story. (Logan is Charity's friend in Vegas).
For Valentine's Day, treat yourself to SOMETHING WILD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing sequel
Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2002
They first met at the wedding of his brother, but neither Charity Wilde nor Mike Flynn felt any sparks. Both went on with their lives with Charity returning to Vegas in her efforts to become a headline showgirl and Mike to run his ranch.

They meet again when Charity returns to Wyoming on a family visit at the Remington Ranch. This time an attraction engulfs both of them, but neither desires the unwanted feelings. Mike remains racked with guilt over his deceased wife and his caring for Charity increases his feelings of inadequacy. Charity's situation is a bit simpler as she does not want to give up her dream of stardom. Not even Cupid could hope to bring this couple together.

SOMETHING WILD is a sequel to the fantastic WIFE FOR A DAY. Though the story line is as amusing as the latter novel, it lacks the social teeth of the first book. The tale is fun, engaging the reader through the two obstinate lead characters who want love and their dreams, but neither knows how to grab and hold onto the feelings. Patti Berg is quickly becoming a sure shot to provide strong entertainment for romance readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story!
Reviewed in Canada on September 17, 2003
Cute tale about Charity Wilde, she has unfulfilled dreams about wanting to be a Las Vegas Showgirl... that is until she meets the very handsome Mike Flynn. He's a rancher/minister (and widower) in Wyoming. The energy between Charity and Mike is incredible, but is it enough for her to want to give up her dreams?
This story was great! It kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages as fast as I could read them so I could find out if they get together or not. This was my 3rd Patti Berg book and I like how she repeats her characters and gives them their own book! Major kudos to her for that!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Five Stars

For those of you out there who like romantic fiction but whose sensibilities are alerted by the preponderance of premarital bumping and grinding, this book is for you!
The characters are believable with understandable frailties -- nothing too extreme or exotic -- and the author manages to craft a story that's not, in the words of my good friend, "too cartoony." The story reprises some characters from the books Wife for a Day and Stuck on You, but this particular story somehow achieves a more realistic and sensitive story, although it does contain its share of whimsy.
The story concerns Chastity Wilde, Vegas showgirl, and Mike Flynn, a "cowboy preacher" whom she meets whilon a visit with her brother at his in-laws' ranch in Wyoming. Of course, the story itself is a classic case of "opposites attract," with the aforementioned twist of (gasp!) religious values as well as (ack!) a woman who has more on her mind than hooking up with a great guy. The character of Chastity in particular is well-drawn, moving gracefully through an (*passing out*) impressive learning curve as all good round characters should.
I removed one star simply because I find Mike Flynn's personal crisis slightly -- just slightly -- over the top. He's mourning his first wife and dealing with some irrational sense of responsibility for her death. He's a sensitive man, of course, but he's also intelligent, and I found it hard to imagine that someone would carry around such a load of unjustified guilt for such a long time without figuring out what a waste of energy it is.
While this book has prequels, I think it stands fine on its own. I enjoyed it more than I did its predecessors, and anyone yearning for a sweet story and (finally!) a couple who waits for holy matrimony really ought to check it out.

Charity and Mike are as different as they could be. Charity is a not so successful virgin Las Vegas Showgirl, Mike is a minister, ranch hand, cowboy. What more can you say. Charity goes to Wyoming for a family visit and runs into Mike Flynn and the sparks fly for both of them. Their story is a rollercoster ride of laughs as well as touching moments. You will see some old friends Lauren, Max, Sam, and Jack from other Pattie Berg Books. The nice thing about that is you don't have to have read Berg's other books to understand or enjoy this book. A must read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought at all...

I like Rachel Gibson and Susan Elizabeth Phillips books and so Patti Berg was recommended as an author I'd like - she just hasn't hit the mark for me.
The book has quite a strong religious tone and Minister Mike is judgemental of both himself and those around him (including horses!). Mike's wife had died some six years before but he was still blaming himself for her death and when you found out the reason for his rationale, my first thought was "how immature...".
I found the heroine to be shallow and quick to jump to conclusions - it was a bit ridiculous when she was working as a showgirl but flounced off in a huff if it was assumed because of her career choice she would be asked to take her clothes off to win a dance role. A showgirl in Vegas dancing fully dressed???
To be honest I was really disappointed with this book as I thought I'd found a new author, after this effort I couldn't be bothered trying any of Patti Berg's other titles.
