Last Chance

by Joannie Kay

Samantha is forced to run away from her Uncle`s ranch when she learns he is going to force her to marry the evil Carson Edwards. Melanie, Samantha`s cousin, knows what it is like to live in a loveless marriage, and she insists Sammy make her escape. Sam keeps to herself while on the run, but can`t ignore the gunshots; she finds a naked man under fire, and quickly sends the horse thieves running. Cort thinks Sam is a half-grown boy, and offers `him` a job helping to move his herd to his ranch. Sam knows she shouldn`t accept, but she is attracted to the impossible Cort Hadley. Cort thinks Sam needs a good tanning, and discovers mere seconds before her Uncle rides into camp that his Sam is really a female... who still needs a damn good spanking!!! Of course, Franklin insists there is going to be a wedding, and it is up to Sammy to choose... Carson or Cort! For those of you who like longer romance stories written in the style of the 70`s and 80`s, this twenty chapter western is sure to please.

[D.V. Ant · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a disappointment, however, I read it through to the end. I kept thinking it might improve, but it never got there. The characters were not compelling. In fact, the two female characters were ditzy, at best. It was hard to have any sympathy for them. The male characters were better, but still very shallow.

Although there is spanking in it, it is repetitive and fairly pointless. Yes, the spanking is the point in a spanking story, but, in this case, it was so poorly described, brief, and sparse that it was unsatisfying for the genre reader it purports to be trying to reach.

There were numerous typographical errors, many homonym errors (one that made me laugh for 10 minutes, it was so perfectly, though inadvertently, wrought). Overall, it was very badly edited.

I do not recommend this book to anyone who is looking for quality writing.

Joannie Kay came up with an interesting story in Last Chance. The characters were likeable and the conflicts were stimulating. My one issue with the book was that it seemed to play hard to get throughout the whole novel. A character is threatened with a spanking on every page, but rarely does anything come of it. At first I found myself wishing for more spankings, but after a while I just wished for fewer threats.
