Bestselling mystery author Juliet Bridger is the epitome of success. Her forensic mystery novels and the movies made from them have made her a multimillionaire, and she′s dated - but hasn′t fallen in love with - the same computer whiz-kid billionaire for the past five years. In other words, her life has become dull and monotonous.

To spice things up (and do research for her next book at the same time) she takes a new name and a new life in small-town Wyoming. Once there, she′s surprised to discover that the ′Doc′ in town isn′t some wrinkly old man but young and fabulously stunning vet Cole Sheridan. Suddenly her masquerade starts to backfire - how can she possibly explain her web of lies when she′s fallen in love with the town - and with its vet in particular?

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.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny story
Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2003
Tired of being a tabloid darling, former actress Juliet Bridger has had enough of caviar society that has left her reputation tattered due to her ex husband Garrett Pierce who tried to have her accompany him when he was sent to prison. The star of Amazonia 2087 is bone weary of the paparazzi hiding in hope of catching her indecent. She needs to escape back to the potato salad crowd so she flees into the night.
In Plentiful, Wyoming, Juliet's car breaks down and she loses her wallet. The locals see her as a savior to their beloved veterinarian Dr. Cole Sheridan, who is suddenly raising five little nieces following the death of their mommy. Cole finds Juliet stuck on the side of the road in the sweltering heat though she uses the alias Autumn Leeves. When she meets his five renegades, Juliet finds her heat go out to them. Soon she also falls in love with her benefactor and the kind townsfolk, but wonders how her beloved will react when he learns she is the renowned Amazonia Juliet Bridger.
Fans will enjoy this amusing return to Plentiful due to the antics of the female terrorist quintet. The story line never takes itself too seriously yet has some underlying messages involving children and environment. Cole is the beleaguered Romeo wondering how he went from tending to animals to bobby socks and one gorgeous derriere so quickly. Patti Berg provides a funny story though a subplot involving a friend seems out of place in this warm tale of the bumpkin and the bimbo falling in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is HOT!
Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2003
Sultry Juliet Bridger was fed up with her phony Hollywood lifestyle and being hunted by the tabloids and paparazzi so she dyed her hair and took off on a road trip incognito. When her car breaks down outside of Plentiful, Wyoming, sexy veterinarian Cole Sheridan comes to her rescue and tows her into town. Cole has more important things than romance on his mind, like trying to find a nanny for his five orphaned nieces and trying to keep custody of them so he leaves Juliet at the service station. When a tabloid photographer hoping to get a juicy story steals Juliet's wallet, Juliet arranges to work off her debts at the service station and the local pub. In order to have a roof over her head, Juliet convinces the locals that she's really a kindergarten teacher and gets a job as Cole's nanny. Soon Juliet becomes the darling of Plentiful but she knows it will all end if her new friends find out she lied to them. Juliet and Cole also start a very steamy romance but Juliet knows it's just temporary even though she is falling in love.
The storyline is this book is great. The secondary characters are very well written and interesting. A secondary relationship between Ben, the tabloid photographer, and Juliet's backstabbing assistant adds a different dimension to the story.
This is one book you'll want to be sure to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cute story...
Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2003
Juliet keeps me smiling when she lands in the small town of Plentiful wearing her hot pink tight clothes and never without her Jimmy Choo heels on her feet.
True to another review, there is alot going on in this book. Juliet arrives in Plentiful intending to only stay a couple of days but things happen and she has no choice but to extend her visit.
In this small town, Juliet finds the meaning of what true happiness is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patti Berg does it again!
Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2003
Another entertaining book! As someone else pointed out, Juliet does accomplish a lot in a short period of time. I couldn't do all that in a month. However, the mix of her and Cole was great. Unlike some books I've read the kids don't steal the stage. Cole's desire to hang onto the kids and Juliet's desire to help him is touching. And their desire for each other is hot! And I loved revisiting the characters from "Stuck On You"!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Her Best
Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2003
I know others have loved this book so these remarks are definitely my own opinion. I gave 3 stars because of the flow of the words and the sparkly dialogue. But I had problems staying with the story.
My first problem is with the disguise thing. It was OK if you go for the hooker look My big complaint is the constant bubble gum. It drove me crazy after awhile. It wasn't needed and got in the way of the story. It was like hearing someone use the word "basically" to begin every sentence. Arrgh!
Next, I have a definite problem with h/h meeting and falling into bed shortly. Only to call it for real and everlasting love. 1 1/2 days before sex is pretty much shortly. Lust I can believe in. Not true love.
Editing is sloppy. When Cole's hippie parents arrive, we are told that Joplin re-named herself after her favorite OD'd rock star, Janice. This was corrected to Janis on the next page and not repeated. Then, more toward the end, the twins are mentioned. Huh? I believe the "twins" were triplets. Stuff like that just jerks me right out of any story. No excuse for it. What else do editors have to do but edit?
The whole story takes place in too short a time frame for all that Juliet/Autumn accomplishes. Tending bar at night, nanny to 5 small girls by day. 3 in diapers. And solving everybody's problems while she's at it. Painting Joe's Gas and Bait Shop in her spare time. Having hot sex with Cole whenever. All this in 3-4 days and without breaking a nail or chipping her pink polish. As far as I could tell, she only slept one night in the whole book. Wish I could do that.
I enjoyed the crazy villaness. She was pretty obsessive. Sort of reminded me of Ursula the sea witch in "The Little Mermaid". But she gets a nice comeuppance at the end.
I know there was at least 1 previous book set in Plentiful, Wyoming. I haven't read it. It doesn't really matter as this book stands alone. Even though characters from the previous book are here. And they are characters. Which is as it should be in a small town. Characters help the story move along.
A lot of stuff happens in this book. Too much, I think. The malpractice thing could have been left on the editing floor. It didn't really advance the plot.
I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me but these are my honest opinions. I'm glad I read the book but it won't be going on my keeper shelf. But I will read future Berg books.

What a fun book. This book should be read on a warm summer day while lounging by the pool. Or a winter day by the fire. Or any day in between. Cole and Juliet's story is a feel-good story. The dialogue is fun, the awakening of the heroine as to who she is underneath the rich facade, the animals in their lives, and the darling girls are terrific. Even the sleuths are darling. This is a must read book.

I thoroughly loved the idea of the multi-millionaire author/slash movie vixen running away from her world, and learning to find out who she is with the help of a stressed out veterinarian and his five newly-orphaned nieces. This was just a quick, fun read and I look forward to more in this line.
