This book by Kane was one of my keepers-not a reprint. It was a wonderful read. Loved the story line and Kane is a good storyteller.

An angry mob has come after Gambler Gabriel Donovan, accusing him of a crime he didn't commit. As they hang him from a nearby tree, he takes his last breath and regrets the way he wasted his life. But his death is short-lived when the Devil makes a bargain with him. He'll give Gabe two months of life in exchange for the soul of the crook who should have hanged in Gabe's place. Gabe quickly agrees to the deal and heads to Regret, Nevada, a town where his former friend is known to pass through regularly.

Maggie Benson is desperate. The restaurant her father bought her is failing because she is a terrible cook. The townspeople refuse to eat there because they fear she will poison them. Maggie is running out of money, and her young son isn't happy living in town. When Gabe comes to town looking for a job, she gives him room and board if he'll help her in the restaurant. As they work together, they begin to have feelings for each other. But Gabe knows the clock is ticking on his relationship with Maggie.

This was a cute historical romance with paranormal elements. I loved seeing Gabe turn his life around and try to figure out a way to stay with Maggie and her son. This is a good story for anyone who needs a light read. My rating: 4 Stars.

What a fun combination! A cowboy fantasy with humor all over the place. Our hero(GABE) is an anti-hero but so charming you'll root for him to overcome all the bad luck that has followed him to his own hanging. And any guy who's a better cook than the woman(MAGGIE) running a "restaurant" serving terrible food is likable and oh-so-charming! When the fantasy spoof comes into play you'll love the little unexpected twists at the end and a cute sub-plot with a gal named Sugar who is anything but sweet!
