When Lucky Tyler helps a beautiful redhead out of a bad situation, he is upset when she disappears without a word of thanks. Eventually he finds her and talks his way into her hotel room and her bed. In the morning she is gone. Lucky needs to find her. Overnight, someone torched his family's business and he is the main suspect. The redhead is his alibi and he needs to find her fast. But when he does track her down, Devon Haines refuses to come forward and be interviewed. Now Lucky will have to use all of his charm to get her to cooperate.
I first read this book 20+ years ago and really liked it. I thought I'd revisit it and listen to the audiobook. Colleen Marlo does a good job as the narrator of this story.
The story itself felt dated. Lucky comes off as obnoxious and self-centered. He is a jerk with white-knight syndrome. He feels he has to save the damsel in distress. Lucky also has a hair-trigger temper that he can't seem to control. But Devon was worse. She was a so-called feminist that would fight for women's rights, but wouldn't stand up and tell the cops that she had spent the night with Lucky and was his alibi. Why??? Well, she couldn't tell him. We had a whole scene with her saying she couldn't tell Lucky why she couldn't come forward. I wanted to scream. When she finally does tell him the reason (but doesn't fully explain), it just sounded ridiculous. Too much melodrama for me but I did enjoy the way they figured out who had actually set the fire. My rating: 3 Stars.
