review 1: I wish I had read this sentence from the book description BEFORE I started reading this book: **It’s “Groundhog Day” meets the modern day Old West!** Oh my, I had to stop and scratch my head, go back and reread the first chapter, scratch my head some more. Thought I got a bad book somehow. I finally went to Amazon and read a couple reviews and found out it was kinda like Groundhog Day!!! Once that puzzle was solved I enjoyed the book immensely and can't wait for the rest of the series. You have another winner on your hands Ann! And how much do I love that it's set in my state of Nevada? A LOT!
review 2: Ann Charles is one of the 'not enough' people in this world that truly understand the meaning of the phrase: "Don't take life too seriously. No one gets... more out alive".It's Christmas eve, and Montana (Monty) is closing up the bar after hosting the party for the locals - as traditionally has been done for ages by her family. While discussing things with her cousin, Buffalo, Monty's ex-boyfriend and Las Vegas police Detective, Joel, shows up to let her know her murderous ex-husband has escaped from prison...and she's on his list of visits to make.Monty begins to have sensations of Deja Vu as events play out. It seems like things have happened before and she knows what Buff is going to say.I have to admit, when events started to re-play as the evening 'reset', It took me a bit to figure out what was going on. AHA! Groundhog's day! I always enjoy Ann's sense of humor, and how she creates characters who are flawed - and they know it. To me, this makes them easier to relate to. I was pleased to find out this is just the beginning of the story for Joel and Monty. I hope to see more about Buff too! less
