Book Description:
Sunday Cavendish is the woman everyone loves to hate. Independent, outspoken and brazenly sexy, she's clearly the star of the popular soap opera, Born To Be Wild, despite her character's machinations.
But Mary Lisa Beverly isn't Sunday - except in front of the cameras. So when a car practically runs her over in idyllic Malibu, she realizes she needs some time off to escape. Returning home to Oregon, quickly reminds her why she left three years ago. Her ex-fiance and the sister she found in bed with him are now married, her mother barely tolerates her, and she can't remember the last time she had a date. Her father alone is her refuge, that is, until she meets someone off-limits.
When the attacks on her life continue after her return to LaLaLand, Mary Lisa turns to her friends and neighbors, her true family, for support. But she doesn't expect to turn to the last man she ever expected to show up on her doorstep. With the threat of danger lurking in every shadow, Mary Lisa must learn to trust her hometown adversary with her life and her heart.

I LOVED this book!!! Anyone who is a Catherine Coulter fan needs to read this. It is funny, action-packed and full of great interaction between the characters.

I really liked this book, it flowed really well. I didn't want to put the book down no matter how tired I was since I read it mainly at night. The characters really draw you in on what is going on. I would like to read more about Mary Lisa Beverly and Jack Wolfe. Really good!

Mary Lisa Beverly, a soap-opera phenom, runs home to escape whoever is trying to kill her. It kept me laughing. Good read.

Catherine Coulter leaves her FBI and historical writings behind and moves on to a story about a soap opera star. It has both romance and comedy. I loved it!

"Born To Be Wild," a popular soap opera, stars Mary Lisa Beverly as bad girl Sunday Cavendish. When Mary Lisa, who is really a perfectly nice person, is nearly run down by a car, she quickly realizes the incident was a murder attempt. During the ensuing investigation, Mary Lisa falls in love, nearly dies, wisecracks, finds a corpse or two, and staves off an obnoxious paparazzo. Susanna Burney has an appropriate vocal personality for such a light romance/mystery. She sounds likable, good humored, and smart. Largely stinting the laugh lines, she treats the novel's other elements with a bit too much understatement. Her infrequent bursts of sparkle add brief gusts of freshness. Would that there were more of them!
A soap-opera phenom, Mary Lisa Beverly is fun and lovable except to the person trying to kill her. There aren't any hotties in LA of interest, but in Goddard Bay, OR - her hometown - are John Goddard and Jack Wolf and even in the boondocks- bad stuff happens. Embroiled in the baffling attempts on Mary Lisa's life, is alot of laughter and fun --- and ---unexpected results.
Soap opera phenom finds someone out to try and kill her. Two men want to help- a DA and the chief of police.
The story about Mary Lisa Beverly - a soap-opera star - who is fun and lovable, but is being stalked by someone trying to kill her! This book is full of true facts re: soap-operas, old and current, which made the book twice as enjoyable!
This is about a soap opera star who returns to her home town after being threatened in L.A.and how her friends try to protect her.
