Heiress turned bounty hunter Chantal Worthington is chasing down a serial rapist who has skipped bail. He's also the man who attacked her best friend years before. Unfortunately, bounty hunter Luke Coleman is not above using Chantal's leads to go after the same guy. Which was one of my problems. Luke didn't do much work on his own, he was too lazy, instead he just followed Chantal around to find the bail jumper. Not particularly honorable. Chantal told Willowby she was from North Dakota, then the next page that she was from South Dakota. I'd think he'd be smart enough to pick up on that. Also, I've noticed in many books that have a couple pretending to be married, often on their honeymoon and well-off, aren't wearing any wedding rings. This would never fly.
HELL ON HEELS

I just read Hell on Heels by Carla Cassidy. What a fast-paced story, it's one you won't be able to put down until it's finished. Can you imagine a socialite beoming a bounty hunter? It happens in this story, and there's a hot Cool-hand Luke, too, only it's Crazy Luke this time. Enjoy!
Couldn't put it down!

I really enjoyed reading this book! It had me hooked right away and I couldn't put it down until I was finished reading it (luckily, I was at the airport with a delayed flight). Great story, cute scenes with Chantal and Luke - especially this one particular scene, but I won't spoil it for you. It's a must-read.
entertaining battle of the sexes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Bounty-hunter Chantal Worthington prefers to keep her work separate from her upper crust social life though the heiress knows that cannot always be possible. Her latest skipper to chase down is a case in point. Her target wealthy Marcus Willowby heir to Willowby Whiskey fortune was arrested for raping his dates; a decade ago he got away with raping her friend Belinda Carlyle. The evidence is overwhelming as Marcus videoed his predatory activity so he skipped the state of Missouri. Chantal vows to bring the predator to justice. Bounty Hunter "Crazy" Luke Coleman is on the trail of the jumper and refuses to allow a claim jumper steal his case especially someone in designer heels. They both realize that Marcus is in Mexico so they head south battling one another every step of the way. Chantal is a strange mix as a socialite bounty hunter who always gets her man. The story line is amusing as Chantal and Crazy Luke (not the wrestler) battle one another from the first moment they clash over who was bringing in a skipper and never slow down until the final lip lock confrontation. Though overall humorous the glimpse at what rape has done to a victim is handled deftly and compassionately. Carla Cassidy provides an entertaining battle of the sexes with the bounty being love.
