Dynamo attorney Alexis O'Hara is quite proud of herself.  She's tied her future all up in a fancy bow and nothing can go wrong now... can it?

109 years after her death, sexy, sensational, sweetheart Sunshine has her chance at pairing up a couple.  Before she can go onto the Big Picnic in the Sky, she must put one more notch in Miss Alotta's bedpost book.   Sunshine's specialty in life was older men.  They loved her sweet, youthful innocence mixed with the naughty tricks she could teach them when they came to her room at Miss Alotta's brothel - Alexis and her older groom should be a cinch!!

Sunshine is now working her ghostly nights at The Maiden Falls Inn, which is no longer a brothel, but is now an exclusive  honeymoon hotel.  To get that last notch, all Sunshine needs to do is help Alexis and the man of her dreams find bedroom bliss in her old room...

Alexis has joined up with her husband-to-be, Vincent Cathardy, in historic Colorado at The Inn at Maiden Falls to sign their prenuptial agreement that will assure her a family, financial security and the professional future she's always dreamed of.  Of course, the wedding will take place while they're at the inn.  What Alexis hasn't planned on is Vincent's attorney being none other than Dylan Greene. Dylan was the love of her life and he deserted her back in law school just before graduation.  Unlucky in love, Alexis is determined to view Dylan's presence as nothing more than Vincent's lawyer.  Planning with her heart has brought Alexis nothing but pain; her future from this point will be made with her head.

Dylan is planning to take a few days away from his family law practice to help out his new client, Vincent Cathardy.  Dylan is planning to show up, finalize the pre-nup and serve as best man for this wedding of convenience.  At least that was the plan until he saw who the bride-to-be is - Alexis O'Hara.  Dylan's only true love and time has not eased the depth of his feeling.

Vincent Cathardy has an agenda all his own with his proposal of marriage for Alexis.  She's young, she's beautiful, and she's the perfect wife for a top-notch executive lawyer like himself.

What Alexis hadn't planned on was the rush of feelings she thought were laid to rest years ago, and the strange events that seemed to keep throwing Dylan in her path.

Can Alexis convince Dylan to leave her heart alone so that her perfectly planned future isn't messed up?  Will Vincent's plans be carried out as he thought?  Dylan still loves Alexis, can he help her find the girl he knew all those years ago and keep her from throwing away the life she's so painstakingly built for herself?

Heather MacAllister has penned a witty, rousing romance that's simply sizzling from the first page!   Filled with well-developed characters, loads of secrets and spicy hot scenes, CAN'T BUY ME LOVE has something for everyone!!  Ms. MacAllister has outdone herself with this new chart topper!!   I really enjoyed this read; it was fast, funny and very endearing.  I loved getting to know Alexis and identifying with her feelings and fears.  This heroine is easy to understand and to get to know.  The hero is red hot sexy and solid; he knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it.  He won me over right from the start and kept me looking for the next sensual moment with him.  Thank you, Heather, for this sensational new addition to my keeper shelf!
