Bride for a Night: Amazon.ca: Patti Berg: Books

Product Description

From Library Journal

Wed on a whim in Las Vegas and deserted the morning after, archaeological tour guide Cairo McKnight has nothing to show for that night five years later except an annulmentDand a precocious son who's the image of his adventurer father. But now Cairo needs Duncan Kincaid's help, and when she finally tracks him down deep inside a Montana cave, they are forced to deal with their continuing attraction to each otherDin spite of the past. The well-matched protagonists are complemented by a trio of wonderfully memorable secondary characters (including a quirky aunt in search of a relationship, a wheelchair-bound widower with a magnetic personality, and an energetic four-year-old with a genius IQ). The sassy dialog and well-handled sexual tension in this funny, fast-paced romance is sure to please Berg's (Wife for a Day) growing readership. She lives in Folsom, CA.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite the nice bit of reading material!!!!, Nov 14 2003

While I'm not much for archaeology myself...i did find this book to be very interesting and easy to read. Can't say I blame Cairo for the path she took the first four yrs. of Dylan's life...others may tend to disagree. Duncan was a virtual threat to himself for most of his life..until Cairo stepped in and changed it all for him!

This wasn't a terrible book, but I did think the humor was pretty lame and silly. I love romantic comedy, but this just didn't fit my own sense of humor, and the plot struck me as awfully familiar, like this was like pretty much every other romantic comedy from Avon.

This review is from: Bride for a Night (Mass Market Paperback)

I didn't have any high hopes for this book at first due to a prior experience with this author. I'm not a quitter and rarely give up on reading a book once I started it, but I had to put down "Wife for a Day" after 2 chapters. I couldn't sympathize with the heroine therefore I couldn't get into it.

On the other hand, I really liked this book's heroine and hero. I was always intrigued by archeologists exploring the secrets of ancient history. The hero and heroine of this romance is a pair of archeologists. They were married five years ago. On the night of their marriage, the hero Duncan left his wife to go to Egypt for an archeological find. He ended up in jail and the heroine Cairo annulled their marriage. She was also pregnant and had his son, which Duncan never knew about. She had also gave up exploring and started a tour business. After going through a near fatal accident, Cairo wanted to give his son a chance for having a father. At the same time, she needs to employ a tour guide and Duncan is the perfect person for the job. The story begins when she follows Duncan into a cave in which he's exploring in search of the city of gold. Typically, we see the pair falling in love again and also the problem of revealing to Duncan the presence of his son. Aside from this main pair, there's also a romance between Duncan's crippled father and Cairo's aunt, which I think could be more developed but overall an interesting change from the main storyline. I really enjoyed this book.

I did not buy this book, and for that I am extremely glad (...) My friend lent to me this book and Wife For A Day and I read Wife For A Day first because it sounded like the book... Read more
