Stuck with You
He wasn't about to be hog-tied!
Wyatt Logan, champion bull rider, isn't ready to settle down. But from the moment he spots Charity Webster's cute little behind stuck in his aunt Nora's doggy door, he knows he's going to end up eating dust.
Then came the snow...
And Wyatt kisses his single life goodbye. Trapped by the storm, he and Charity have to keep warm somehow. And there's a lot to be said for body heat.... Not even the comic antics of Nora's maniacal neighbor disturb their idyllic love nest. But when the snow melts, Wyatt's dreams turn to slush. He's finally lost his heart--to a woman who has no intention of committing.

Someone gave this a rating of 2 on Booklikes. Unfortunately, they didn't leave a review so I can only guess as to what they didn't like.
I know what I didn't like.
Ok, you have the h - a feminist who is housesitting for her mentor. She grasps that the belongings are a) valuable and b) not hers.
And then you have the H. The best description I can come up with is immature idiot. It's his aunt's house. He's an only child and a commitmentphobe. He travels around the country riding bulls. He's stopping by for Thanksgiving. His aunt is in Maine, and apparently is hooking up with an old boyfriend. She and his father are attempting to set him up with the h.
Then there's the nosy, paranoid neighbor...and the aunt's dog. Mostly all the dog does is bark conveniently when the neighbor is snooping around, but he does get plastered on some wine that a certain doofus left within his reach.
During the course of the H and h being snowbound (because a blizzard conveniently takes out the power and leaves them stuck indoors), the back door has to be repaired (I'd love to know how the H got a piece of plywood in a vintage mercedes - they're big but not THAT big) due to the h getting stuck in the doggie door, a pile of wood in the garage gets burned (turns out it's an unassembled piece of furniture intended for a former president), 2 antique crystal goblets get broken (the dog), red wine spilled on an antique carpet, the neighbor manages to drop a limb from an oak through the roof in auntie's bedroom, a hole is shot in the wall in said bedroom, a column supporting the balcony roof is dislodged (neighbor again), the pipes in the sprinkler system (only in that bedroom) freeze (actually, I wondered if they weren't damaged from half a tree falling through the roof)... Oh, and auntie's bed (presumably antique) destroyed by the limb. Now, granted, much of the damage was attributed to the lunatic next door but the H's careless disregard for things (why did he have red wine in the living room next to that carpet in the first place, and he was TOLD the dog would go after wine).
The neighbor needs to be locked away in a padded cell - for his own safety at least.
The H pulled one on the h at the end, promising to switch rodeo events until she got preggers, then retiring or...something. The event he was switching to wasn't a bit safer than bull riding.
Do I see this one lasting for long? Not really. Sooner or later, she'll get tired of waiting for him to grow up. Also, I dislike interfering family members. If the H hasn't found himself a girl, and the h doesn't want a man, leave them alone.
It was funny, but it would have been a lot funnier if I didn't find the H's shrugging at the damage so grating.

4 Stars! ~ This is a hilarious story about Charity who is house-sitting for her dear friend and benefactor, Nora. A matchmaking scheme has Nora's nephew arriving for Thanksgiving. Wyatt's arrival is fine with Charity, she'll just go on home, but when Nora leaves a message that she won't make it back for T/G and could Charity please cook Wyatt dinner, Charity feels bond to comply, after all Nora is her financial backing in her bookstore. A snow storm blows through surrounding the house in five foot drifts and taking the power with it.
Well .. you can imagine the problems that all the closeness and lack of furnace heat can conjure up .... add a nosey sleuthing neighbour who is convinced that Wyatt and Charity have murdered poor Nora .. and Nora's wine loving Scotch terrier named MacDougal ... now this is a hilarious and delightful combination!
A laugh out loud read all the way!

One of the reason why I love Vicki Lewis Thompson's book is the fast and funny written plot. There's also weird incident, in this case, involving the weirdo neighbour who read too much mystery novel. Too much imagination will kill you, and others as well apparently.
I do love Charity and Wyatt first meeting, that embarassing moment; the way they reacted to each other, the way Charity seduced Wyatt. :D
