Nikki Hunt thought her night couldn't get worse when her
no-good, cheating ex ditched her at dinner, sticking her
with the bill. Then she found his body stuffed in the trunk
of her car and lost her two-hundred-dollar meal all over his
three-thousand-dollar suit. Now not only is Nikki nearly
broke, she's a murder suspect.Former cop turned PI, Dallas
O'Connor knows what it's like to be unjustly accused. But
one look at the sexy-though skittish-suspect tells him she
couldn't hurt anyone. The lead detective, Dallas's own
brother, has the wrong woman and Dallas hopes a little
late-night "undercover" work will help him prove it . . .
Don't Mess With Texas is the first book that I have read by the humorous Christie Craig. Throughout the book I was rooting not only for Nikki to be proven of the potential murder charge against her, but for the secondary characters...Tony and LeAnn to work out their issues as well.
It's truly hard for me to say whose story I enjoyed more...Nikki and Dallas or Tony and LeAnn. However being the good secondary characters that they are Tony and LeAnn were content to remain in the background for the most part.
When I turned the last page of Don't Mess With Texas I was more than ready to not only read more about Nikki and Dallas, but to find out just who, how, and when Dallas' partners Austin and Tyler will be getting their stories!
If you like romantic comedy then Christie Craig should go on your watch list if she isn't already there. (Sandi Shilhanek 7:14pm October 16, 2011)
