"A passionate and funny story with quirky characters."

Best-selling novelist and movie star Juliet Bridger is fed up. She's tired of society parties, quasi friends and the ever-present paparazzi. Her ex-husband is in prison for fraud, and between speculation about her involvement in his schemes and crazy stories in the tabloids, Juliet needs a break. So, she disguises herself and takes off, ending up in Plentiful, Wyoming. Tending bar and becoming temporary nanny to five little girls is definitely a change of pace for Juliet, but she doesn't count on falling for sexy Dr. Cole Sheridan, the girls' guardian and Plentiful's resident veterinarian.

In AND THEN HE KISSED ME, Ms. Berg returns to the town of Plentiful. Her hero and heroine are extremely easy to like, and we are reacquainted with the Tuesday Morning Sleuth Society. I fell in love with the little girls. The quirky characters throughout the story round out a sexy, funny tale of love, passion and family, small-town Wyoming style. A good read.

Summary

She's the blonde bombshell who once starred in a string of low-budget films and is now a jet-setting, bestselling author. But one too many bites of caviar, menacing phone calls from her jailbird ex, a tabloid photographer hot on her heels, and nasty gossip about her life send Juliet over the edge. Disguising her identity, Juliet runs...straight into the arms of Cole Sheridan, a small town vet with troubles of his own.

With a malpractice suit hanging over his head and his bohemian parents and their band of old hippie friends about to converge on his home, the last thing Cole needs is one more snag in his orderly life. But when he spots the raven- haired beauty with the curvaceous body stranded along a lonely stretch of highway, he hitches her car to his and tows one more complication his way.

He thinks she's quirky; she thinks he's sexy but cantankerous. She's hiding something; he wants to push everyone away -- until the chaos of Juliet's life catches up with her in Plentiful, Wyoming. Once more she's ready to run...and then Cole kisses her!

That's when the trouble really begins.
