Sammie Carpenter understands how a uniform influences behavior. Wearing her Army fatigues puts her in the mindset of a soldier and donning her Class-A Uniform always helps her shift into Captain Mode. So what harm could come from her dressing like a saloon girl and strutting through the streets of Tombstone? She didn't know how to flirt to save her life, and she wasn't getting any younger.
When she met the lonesome stud cowboy, Jimmy, she knew he was the one. So why was their communication always so awkward? Couldn't he see that she was interested in him? No matter how hard she tried to win him over, she couldn't seem to get him to see past his first impression of her. But Sammie didn't give up easily. Somehow she would make him see that they were meant to be together, but how can she do that when all of her plans keep falling apart?
You can read an excerpt of the book HERE.

MY REVIEW
First Impressions is not the first book I have read by Michelle Sutton and I sure hope it won't be my last! I thoroughly enjoy Michelle's writing. Michelle writes stories that are closer to reality than a lot of Christian fiction. The edginess of the story makes it believable. I am not a big fan of unrealistic "everyone is perfect" Christian romances so this book is just perfect for me. I loved the two main characters and found them easy to relate to... like people I could actually know in real life. First Impressions is a well written, fun, and quick read.
This is the first book in the Tombstone Treasures series and I look forward to the next book coming out. I would definitely recommend ALL of Michelle Sutton's books!
