Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Theodosia Worth is a Boston intellectual who has nothing in common with wild-west tough guy Roman Montana. Fate nevertheless thrusts the two of them together on a wild romp through nineteenth-century Texas when Theodosia travels south for a job interview, and along the way concocts a scheme to bear a child for her barren sister. Beset by hordes of potential papas who answer her advertisement requesting the sexual services of a man who closely resembles her Harvard-professor brother-in-law, Theodosia hires Roman as a bodyguard. Although disqualified from siring his employer's child because of his apparent lack of intelligence, Roman is a wily sexual tease who quickly teaches the cerebral Theodosia a lot about emotions and desires she never knew she had. These two are a particularly implausible match, and most of their adventures are predictably plotted and unsurprisingly resolved. But Paisley (The Barefoot Bride) keeps readers enaged by eschewing melodrama in favor of comedy, playing up the zaniness of this oddball couple for all it's worth.

Advertising for a man to father the baby she intends to bear for her childless sister, Theodosia Worth hires Roman Montana to be her bodyguard against the onslaught of applicants and finds that he is more concerned with saving her from herself.

Another Winner for Paisley!!!!!,
By "kctgreat" (Massapequa, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heartstrings (Mass Market Paperback)
A somewhat naive and beautiful genius and her wise-cracking parrot head west in search for the perfect sperm doner and finds love instead in a tall, dark Cowboy. This is a great book...very funny and filled w/ sweet emotions. I recommend all of Ms. Paisley's books. Do yourself a favor and read them all! You won't regret it...Paisley's the best.

This review is from: Heartstrings (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a joy to read again and again. I highly recommend this book one of the best I have come across in the last couple of years. If you like humour, wit and romance this is the best book for you.
