While delivering a business jet to Aruba, Hannah Lamont found herself quickly looking for a place to land when the jet’s engines quit. Shortly before she ran out of fuel, she found a small island with a small runway and managed to land with practically no space to spare. With a hurricane on the way, Hannah finds herself working alongside the handsome guy that owns the airport, Buck Shanahan. Since the island doesn’t have a government – everything is decided by playing poker, Hannah is amazed at how smoothly the preparations worked. Feeling comfortable at the island, Hannah considers staying until the morning where she wakes up to stare at the island’s lone alligator, Buster. Now can Buck convince Hannah to stick around or will Buster insure that Hannah will take off and never return?
This is an absolutely funny book and while the above description sounds somewhat lame, it’s because I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone that might read it. You might want to skip this book if you hate poker, because Texas Hold’em is critical to the plot. However a knowledge of poker isn’t required in order to understand what’s happening. And if you’re a writer, you won’t believe one of the points of view that Sue used in this book. I’m still shaking my head. So if you like romantic comedy, poker and quirky characters, you’ll love this book.
