"engaging low key Kentucky romance"
With his thoroughbred Silk Purse running in the upcoming
Kentucky Derby, trainer Cole Early needs a place to stay
in the Louisville area for about two weeks, but nothing is
available even as far away as Indiana. He rents a
bungalow from a local glass artist Lulu Flannery, who has
doubts about allowing a stranger on her property, but she
cannot refuse the fee. Cole and Lulu meet and are attracted to one another, but
she knows nothing will come of it as he will have a choice
of so many glamorous women. However, Cole knows she is
the one for him that he has waited to meet her seemingly
forever. Besides hoping to win the first leg of the
Triple Crown, the bigger prize is winning Lulu's heart. FAST AND LOOSE is an engaging low key Kentucky romance
that uses the backdrop of the Derby to set the time and
place, which in many ways steals the show. The lead
couple is a wonderful pairing as he knows she's the one
for him while she assumes "King Cole" as the press calls
him can have any female he desires so why her. Fans will
enjoy this lighthearted romp while wondering whether Silk
Purse wins the race. Harriet Klausner

SummaryThoroughbred trainer Cole Early needs a place to stay while
his horse is preparing for the Kentucky Derby. With
Louisville booked solid, he snaps up the snug little
bungalow his real estate agent miraculously finds.
Glass artist Lulu Flannery has agreed to rent out her house
for Derby, but quickly begins to worry. What if her boarder
is someone like that rowdy "King Cole" person who keeps
popping up in all the places she seems to be? A guy like
that could really mess with a girl's feng shui.
But it isn't Lulu's feng shui that Cole is interested in.
Especially after he discovers she's the mysterious woman
whose house is filled with such sensual indulgences. What's
a guy gotta do to bring the passion out of the
self-possessed Miss Flannery?
