Don't Mess with Texas by Christie Craig

Nikki Hunt thought her night couldn't get worse when her no-good, cheating ex ditched her at dinner, sticking her with the bill. Then she found his body stuffed in the trunk of her car and lost her two-hundred-dollar meal all over his three-thousand-dollar suit. Now not only is Nikki nearly broke, she's a murder suspect.

Former cop turned PI, Dallas O'Connor knows what it's like to be unjustly accused. But one look at the sexy-though skittish-suspect tells him she couldn't hurt anyone. The lead detective, Dallas's own brother, has the wrong woman and Dallas hopes a little late-night "undercover" work will help him prove it . . . **Previously published as Don't Mess With Texas

My Review

Nikki Hunt finally gives in to her ex and agrees to meet him at dinner. Her ex-husband cheated on her but she needs money, and she needs it now. When she sits down he is on the phone, and he leaves for a minute. When Jack comes back he tells how happy he is that she came, then his phone rings again. He tells her to order for them, and she does. She waits over twenty minutes before she wants to kill him. He ditched her with the bill that she can't pay for. After paying for a meal she doesn't have the money for, she goes to the store to get what she needs. Nikki can't believe her ex wanted to get back with her and leave her with the bill. She opens her trunk and, sees her ex staring blankly back at her.

Dallas O'Connor, is sitting with his brother when he gets a call about a homicide he figures he will tag alone. When they get to the crime scene some of the other cops are taking bets on if the ex wife is guilty, he puts 20 in that she is. All of the evidence is pull at her. When he walks up with his brother, he pukes on him, not once but twice. He quickly finds himself saying he wants to help her.

I was given this book by the publisher. I Loved every minute Dallas' and Nikki's story. Hotter in Texas pulls you into a crazy story from the first page, and leaves you wanting more and more. Nikki is the sweet girl next door, and Dallas is the ex con. Their passion is crazy from the start! I really love how Christie Craig wraps you in this story. I Highly Recommend this book!!! It has a murder, sex, and drama! Everything a great book needs.
