The River Nymph
by Shirl Henke
ISBN: 9780843960112

What happens when a beautiful lady gambler faces off against a professional card shark with more aces up his sleeve than the Missouri River has snags? A steamboat trades hands, the loser forfeits his clothes, and all hell breaks loose on the levee.

Lately I've not been in the 'mood' to read...I hit a burnout for a bit after reading several really great series books by the same author.
(You know what I'm talking about...I'm sure....when you read a really great series and you have to 'let it lie' for a while after you finish to savor the story and re-live it in your mind for a while before transporting to another time and place.)

I, Like Susanne, am on vacation right now, and only just this morning read the first two parts of 'Nymph'. So far, the story has me hooked wanting to know what is going to happen between Mrs. Raymond and Mr. Daniels tomorrow. Does she get his riverboat as winnings? Or does she not have the winning hand...and walks away in defeat only to have Mr. Daniels pursue her on an intimate level. Hmmmm...Keep reading, and we'll find out!

A bit of a backfire in Mrs. Raymonds face, it seems.
I'm still hooked and am anxious to read tomorrows excerpt! This is one that I will definitely check out at the library when we get back home from vacation.

Day 4 and it still seems cliche.
But then that's generally my beef with most Western novels.
