Publisher's summary

When history professor Alison Carter became a consultant to the film version of the Wild West legend she’d dedicated her career to researching, she couldn’t possibly have known that she would not only get a front-row seat to a full-blown Hollywood circus but would innocently witness something that would put her life in peril. Nor did she expect that a tall stranger in a cowboy hat would turn the movie — and her world — completely upside down.

A. J. Gallagher didn’t crash the set in dusty Arizona to rub elbows with Hollywood’s elite. Unable to ignore ghosts from the past that refuse to stay buried, A.J. came to put an end to the false legend that has tarnished the reputation of his family. But when he confronts Alison, sparks fly. And when Alison is targeted by ruthless criminals, suddenly she and A.J. must face the intense attraction that threatens to consume them—and survive the danger that threatens their very lives.

Critic reviews

"[Brockmann] is one of the superstars of romantic suspense.” ( The Dallas Morning News)

I could see this book made into a movie

This was such a great story. I enjoyed it all the way through and didnt want to put it down. It is a great comedy romance book. I caught myself laughing out loud then rewinding it and listening to it again to laugh again. I like how the story is told from the view of each character and the fact that it has a male and female narrator made it more fun. This is a chick lit but a fun laugh out loud romance. Worth the credit and I will be telling my book buddies about it.

Very enjoyable read

Heart warming, funny, and a little sad at times. I loved this book. I do believe in ghosts.

Loved it...

I bought it on a whim but I came to enjoy it very very much.

Kept Looking Back for This in My Library. Love It!

I was sure this was Nora Roberts and couldn't understand why I couldn't find it in my library. I read this quite a while ago but have to add a review now (I did few if any reviews back then) because I LOVED IT. It reminded me of the story of Wyatt Earp serving as a Western expert on a movie shoot. The main character is the grandson of a character in the movie who was supposedly an outlaw, but he really wasn't -- and the grandfather periodically appears to the grandson -- usually at very inopportune times. The hero of the movie was the bad guy in real life -- a wife beater -- but the true story is not known. Of course there's a beautiful member of the movie crew for the grandson to fall in love with and further plot complications provided by some gangsters -- I think they're gunning for people in the movie due to an outstanding debt. It was a wonderful read!!! One of my favorites! I can't believe I attributed it to the wrong author but have it straight now. I've read a lot of Suzanne Brockmann and a lot of Nora Roberts, and I have to say I usually prefer the former, with the exception of the Eve Dallas series (but I'm totally hooked by Troubleshooters too so -- dead heat).

A Western Telling with a Twist

I listened to this on audio. A male and female narrator were used to tell the story. Both of which were familiar to me. I enjoyed the back and forth of the voices. This is a little different story. AJ approaches the film set of a movie being made about his great-grandfather's life. Allison, the author, has it all wrong and AJ is there to set the record straight. Allison pretty much ignores him because she has documents from the late 1800s and early 1900s to prove her story. AJ has a secret weapon, his great-grandfather's ghost, who follows AJ around pointing out all the mistakes.

This was a fun read.

Original and gripping

Amazing original story that pulls at your heart strings and makes you laugh and cry whilst holding your interest continuously.

Enjoyed this story very much, but the narrators...

The story includes romance, intrigue, filming on location stories, and mystical happenings. The overall story is fun and interesting, but the narrators almost made the story stressful to listen to. While they are usually pretty good (see other books they narrated), they put too much stress in the narration of this book. Too bad.

Wrong male narrator

An okay story except for one major thing!

Patrick Lawlor's voice is all wrong for this story. He uses the same excited-juvenile voice for all his characters. I kept expecting him to say "Pa! Barney! Aunt Bea made pie!"

Not for Me!

I decided to try this book because of the 4-star reviews. Well, I learned that Susan Brockmann fiction is definitely NOT for me. I've listened to a ton of audio books and this is by far my least favorite listen of all. Instead of an interesting story, you'll have to listen to one graphic sex scene after another. Lots of gratuitous language. The male narrator's voice was gratingly gravelly and cartoon-ish. Conservatives beware of the strong liberal undercurrents. Take out the sex and foul language and there's not much left. Certainly not what I consider quality entertainment. Like I said, not for me.

Painful

The narration, almost made this book painful to listen to. The story was pretty bad also.
