The idea of a Vegas wedding to a stranger intrigued me enough to want to read this novel right away. Novalee and Dean couldn't be from two more different worlds. Wealthy hotel mogul legacy vs small town hardware store owner's daughter. That in itself had me turning the pages.
I read this book in two days. Let me tell you, with all that I have going on in my life, that is quite a feat. I just couldn't stop. I kept telling myself they can never work out. How the hell can this possibly work? Dean was lying to Novalee, himself, and pretty much everyone around him yet elements of the truth were at the forefront throughout the story.
Schmidt kept me longing for Dean's confession to Novalee about the knowledge of their marriage long before he arrived on her doorstep. Even as I got to the last chapter with tears in my eyes, I had doubts that anyone could survive the pain they had put each other through and come out with a happily ever after.
So, my advice, run, DON'T WALK, to your computer and order or download this emotional thrill ride. You won't regret it.

Novalee Jensen has had a pretty rough life up until now. She's done everything she can to move on from everything that happened. But two years ago, she did something completely out of character for her. And she figured what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas. But apparently that isn't the case for her. Because when her big mistake walks through the door of her bar, she has no idea what to do, or what he could possibly want after all of this time.
Dean knows what he did back then and now is totally wrong. And he knows that the woman he's been thinking about for the past two years might very well hate him, or come to hate him when everything is all said and done. However, he never expected to fall for her. And as time starts to count down for him, fall he does.
This book was extremely unique and very good! I enjoyed the whole plot line. And I adored both of the characters. Although I sorta got really pissed at Dean a lot, but I ended up thinking he was pretty awesome in the end. This book brought a lot of great surprise to me, and I had a wonderful time reading it. It had an alpha male, and a very strong heroine so that made it even better!

I am always looking for fun, interesting and unique contemporary books. For some reason, unique plotlines are a lot harder to come by in contemporary books. (at least the in the ones I have been reading- leave me suggestions if you think I am flat our wrong)Last Call, however, was pretty unique and certainly a fun read.
I really enjoyed it. I loved how strong the main character was. Novalee didn't take anything from anyone. She was a bit too closed off at times, but that was completely understandable because of her past. I really enjoyed this story. As I was reading, I kept wondering how things were going to turn out. It could have gone in very different directions. And the cool thing is that each of the different paths would have been believable. I liked that the book kept you guessing.
Last call is a really fluid read. It just flows right along- I had no problem reading it really quickly. I enjoyed the story. I would have been really mad at Dean, and I honestly don't even know what I would have done if I was in her shoes. But I will tell you think- the two of them do take one hell of a journey together ;) They certainly had a lot of heat. Last Call is a good read.
