      Darcy Wallace didn’t want to marry Gerald so she stole away from Kansas in the dark of the night. She had her purse stolen in Utah so she only had $10 in her purse when her car breaks down outside of Las Vegas. Well she wasn’t going to let that stop her adventure, she grabs her tote and walks the mile to the city. Romance! Nora Roberts at her signature finest
    • 5/5
      I’ve read this book in the past, more than once. It’s a great story and one of my favorite of the MacGregor stories. I think the narrator did a great job, short book but a great way to pass the time!
    • 4/5
      This is one of my favorite MacGregor novels. All of them are good, but this one has that little something.
      I think the reason I love it because it touches that dream everyone has, about someday hitting Jackpot. Either at a Casino, or through a lottery ticket.
      I loved following Darcy's transformation from the wreck she was at the beginning to the confident woman she was at the end. I smiled when she and Mac bantered, and argued.
      I cheered for her when she decided to take her life into her own hands, and do what she had dreamed about.

      What I liked most, was the romance between her and Mac. In some ways, it felt like an opposite attracts. Darcy is naive and innocent, Mac is cynical and experienced. There were times when I wondered if they would end up together, since Mac kept pushing her away.

      What bothered me was the fact that most of the rocky parts was caused by Mac, and his reactions to Darcy's decision regarding important details in her new life. The reason this bothers me, is because I felt that Darcy just floated along sometimes.
    • 5/5
      Fun. Loved Darcy, loved Mac. Thought they were both very realistic. She was naive but not stupid; he was unintentionally patronizing--it made for good conflict, and was completely understandable.
