GUEST BLOG: CAROLYN BROWN

Good morning and thank you for the recent awesome review on Darn Good Cowboy Christmas. When my fabulous editor, Deb Werksman, called me and said that yes, she did want a Christmas book for this season I was very excited because I love writing about the holidays. Raylen had been sitting on my shoulder and talking to me about his story ever since Pearl and Wil met at the Longhorn Inn over in Henrietta. And then I saw a carnival setting up outside of town and figured out that’s where Liz had lived all her life. Now I had a hero with roots running deep into the Texas soil and a heroine with wings. With those odds could they ever have a happy-ever-after?

How does a carnival inspire a story about cowboys? Well, in my line of work, most anything can bring on an idea for another cowboy romance. It’s a major malfunction in my brain called acute cowboymyopathy and there is no known cure for it. Antibiotics don’t help and chocolate only slightly deters the disease. One thing does pacify the symptoms and that’s writing stories about sexy cowboys and the sassy ladies that capture their hearts, but I have to keep writing story after story or it recurs.

Someone asked what inspired me to write so many books or series about cowboys? It’s sanity, darlin’. I rather enjoy being viewed as a sane person and if I’m not writing that white van with no windows or markings keeps driving up and down my street.

Seriously, the day that Beau Luckadeau (Lucky in Love) came to visit my imagination I fell in love with writing about cowboys and have been ever since.

It all started like this: Husband I were riding down the road one beautiful summer day and I saw a cowboy standing on one side of a barbed wire fence and a pretty lady on the other side. Their body language said they were having a big argument. By the time I got home Beau was already pestering me to tell his story and Milli Torres had her hands on her hips telling me just exactly how it really happened. I told them repeatedly that I wrote sweet historical series and contemporary single titles and their story was much too hot to keep in the confines of a sweet romance book. Beau told me that he didn’t give a Texas sized hoot what I had written. But what I would write would start a brand new career in cowboy romance. Milli wanted me to write about all of it: fights, arguments and even the scene in the hay barn during a thunderstorm—everything that happened that finally brought them to their own happy ending.

So I wrote. After all, it was just one book, right? And I didn’t even have a publisher so it might never sell. I sent it to Deb Werksman at Sourcebooks and she called me a few weeks later with an offer to buy the book. But she wanted me to make it into a trilogy. I remember telling her that Beau was the youngest son in his family and all the other brothers were married.

To which she answered, “But he has all those sexy cowboy cousins.”

Slade (One Lucky Cowboy) popped right up and agreed with her and Griffin (Getting Lucky) said she was definitely right.

I was bitten by acute cowboymyopathy before I’d finished that first trilogy!

I was ready to do another series before I even got the Lucky series done and was really grateful that Deb bought the Honky Tonk series: four books about an old bar down in Palo Pinto County, Texas. It’s a place where cowboys show up for a cold beer, a little two-steppin’ and flirting. When it was written the new Spikes & Spurs series was already shaping up. It started out to be a trilogy, worked its way into a four book series and is now up to seven books. Seems like those cowboys and spicy ladies just keep coming through the door of my imagination with no end of characters who want their stories told and I’m loving every minute of it.

So tell me what inspires you to read a good cowboy romance? Is it that they touch your emotions and make all your senses tingle? Is it their swagger, their drawl or the way they treat their women?

At first I thought this was a story about two strangers just meeting through Madame Eve’s dating service but was pleasantly surprised when it took a turn into something else. This one’s about reconnections and dealing with lost loves. I won’t give the plotline away because that would spoil a really nice story about two people finding one another and what turns out to be true love.

Both of these characters are likeable, the setting is exotic and the sex scenes hot. I thought the pacing was just right for this short read and the conclusion more than satisfying.

At a gentleman’s club, Lea dances as SiNN, her body bared and vulnerable to her male partner, her features hidden behind a mask.

Not on the watch of U.S. Marshals Jake Gabriel and Toby Quinn. Commanding and decisive, Jake not only wants Lea’s safety, but to have her naked and yielding beneath him.

Determined to prove her worth as a budding archeologist, Genisse Braxton vows to solve one of the world’s greatest mysteries–to find the location of the lost city of Zerzura. Unfortunately, no man dares take the risk of escorting the resolute young scholar across the open desert. But on her way to Egypt, Genisse engages in a daring deception–she will switch places with Mildred Whimpelhall, who is traveling to meet her fiancé.

Cynical adventurer Jim Owen will do anything to escape the dark secrets of his troubled past. Betrayed by the woman he loved, scorned by proper society, he agrees to carry out a danger-fraught task: escort Mildred Whimpelhall across a lawless desert to her intended. But Jim is about to learn that “Mildred” isn’t exactly what she seems . . . and the dangers they face together are eclipsed only by an even greater peril: falling in love, against all reason, with another guy’s bride . . .

She’ll do anything to get to the lost city of Zerzura. She’ll even pretend she’s the fiancé of an officer stationed across the desert near the city. So what if she has to travel with a rogue to get there?

This is a smashing adventure that I greatly enjoyed reading.

In other words, she was too adventuresome to please her parents; boarding school didn’t help. Ginesse seems born to bad luck. She really needs a protector, but you’ll never convince her of that.

The author takes these two headstrong people and throws them into the middle of the desert alone together on a journey that includes bandits, weather challenges, and scorpions. Ginesse almost drowns. The action is non-stop, which makes the story fun. My favorite part is the fact that the two characters are drawn to each other, but neither desires a relationship. The author uses this conflict to spice up the story with disagreements, misunderstandings, and just general stubbornness on the part of her characters. It works well.

The story is set in the late 1890s and the cross-culture mix of Victorian attitudes and the crude desert life make this tale interesting. Travel is by camel, so the author uses the slowness of travel to enhance the tension between her two characters very effectively.

I had not read anything by this author before, but I’ll be looking for her work now. This book impressed me enough it is going in my personal library. It’s a rollicking good tale with outrageous characters and I recommend it to all.

When a man with mint-green eyes steps from a lake and offers to rescue Danii’s dog in exchange for three days of total obedience, it’s obvious he must be either joking or crazy. She must be the crazy one, though, because somehow, she ends up saying yes.

Being a police officer, she usually knows how to handle the crazies, but when it comes to Heketoro, she’s the one being handled. Each day their lovemaking becomes wilder and Danii discovers exactly how far this man can take her. Though the tattoos drawing themselves on his body make it clear he’s not quite human, to Danii what’s more important is their burgeoning love for each other.

To Heketoro, what’s important is one last ritual of love needed to break an ancient curse that prevents him from returning to his world. But as the time draws near, his enemies return and threaten to destroy him by using his only weakness — Danii.

Three Days of Dominance is a story full of heat, passion, and intrigue. Author Cari Silverwood has managed to create something unique in the paranormal genre, combining elements of BDSM with fantasy. The result is something that is refreshing, although certain elements fail to reach their full potential.

The heroine, Danii, is a police officer who has no problem standing on her own. Her job isn’t easy, so she turns to alcohol to dull the pain she experiences. Fortunately, happiness exists in her life in the form of her companion and dog, Killer. One day while walking Killer she finds herself in a spot of trouble. To her shock, a man offers to help her in exchange for three days of obedience. Thinking he’s a bit confused and out of sorts, Danii agrees, although she has no idea what exactly it is she’s signed on for.

Several elements of Three Days of Dominance ensure a reader will keep turning the pages; namely the hero, Heketoro. He seems to exist at the lake where Danii encounters him, but ultimately he is a mystery. As
his story unfolds and you learn of his history the book takes on a paranormal/fantasy edge. At this point Danii has to reconcile her feelings for the strange man she can’t stop thinking about, decide if she believes he is what he says he is, and choose whether or not she wants to help him. These portions of the story are heightened by sizzling sex scenes that erotic romance fans are sure to enjoy. Creighton, Theodore, and Gary Jones. “Selection or Self-Selection?

Never fear, however, as the chemistry between Danii and Heketoro is explosive.

While there are many positive things to state about Three Days of Dominance, there are negatives as well. First and foremost, there are scenes within the book that, at first glance, appear to serve a purpose. However, they are never fully explored or utilized to the fullest extent. For example: the reader is told on numerous occasions that the ceremony that must take place to return Heketoro to his realm is very dangerous and could put Danii’s life in danger. There is a lot of build up to the actual scene, in which the reader is informed Danii will have to show absolute obedience. Yet when the scene arrives, it’s extremely hot but disappointing. Likewise the ending leaves much to be desired. While the Danii and Heketoro have their happily for now, their journey begins anew. Perhaps Three Days of Dominance is part of a series, which means readers will discover what occurs at a later time. Considering the genre and source material it is worth noting that, while the book does resolve the primary conflict in Three Days of Dominance, the ending appears to be the beginning of a new story.

The technical aspects, such as writing, pace, and style is solid. Ms. Silverwood has a lovely voice and an ear for dialogue. The interaction between her characters feels very organic and her sex scenes sizzle. As an added bonus her world build is fascinating and she’s laid the foundation for a very compelling series if she decides to take Three Days of Dominance beyond one book.

I would recommend this novel to fans of erotic fantasy with BDSM elements, particularly those who enjoy stories involving magic and mystical creatures. If you’ve not read Three Days of Dominance this just might be the story you’re searching for.

She has issues with one of her father’s reindeer, and her sarcasm with that animal is fun to see. I like listening to her ‘inner dialogue’ about David as she becomes closer to him, and loved her combination of sexiness and innocence.

David White is an interesting hero. He writes children’s books, and he’s one hot hunk. His only fault was agreeing to the television show in a moment of weakness, after his girlfriend left him. I love David’s sense of humor, and his willingness to believe in the unbelievable, and accept Holly for who she really is.

There are some fun parts to this story, as Holly and David become acquainted and learn that things aren’t always what they may appear to be. I loved that, just as things were heating up between our lovely elf and her hot hunk, big brother shows up to take Holly back to the North Pole and her family. The rest of the story is delightful, and I was surprised at the things David was willing to do to try and contact Holly to see if there was really something there to build a relationship on.

Do Holly and David have a happy ever after? Check out Far From Silent Night, and add some wonderful holiday warmth to your life.

Shane has always been the joker of the Dillon clan, but he does it to hide the scars from his childhood. He has never shared what the years away from the pack with his mentally unstable mother were like. As he starts to fall in love with Eve, he finds himself unable to ignore the nightmares that haunt his nights.

Eve has always sensed there is more to Shane than he shows the world. As she tries to find out what lies beneath the surface, she sees the dimensions of his personality and attempts to help him deal with the wounds that resurface. But an argument leaves them at odds, and Eve in the path of danger.

Can the Dillon cousins protect their mate when the sadistic killer terrorizing them gets Eve in his sites?

Eve has always been drawn to study wolves. At first it was a satisfying way to aggravate her stickler parents but then she realized she had an almost supernatural bond to the beautiful creatures. That attraction is becoming clearer as she gets closer to the Dillon clan. Her reaction to both Noah and Ethan already feels natural but she isn’t sure there’s room to love three more. Lucky for her the men are sure and very much enjoying convincing their mate.

Book four in the Great Wolves series is primarily about Eve and Shane. Shane’s back story is very interesting and the way Ms. West wove his past into the present was truly clever. Shane has good reason to feel like an outsider and uses humor to mask some deep-seated pain. It will take the love of his mate along with his family to heal the scars that no one can see.

When Shane’s Need was set to be released, readers were treated to another unexpected surprise. Author Kiera West isn’t as new a writer as we all thought. The very talented Melissa Schroeder is the author behind this pen name. This fact might have been true in earlier times, but as couples are opening up more, males are getting diagnosed with infertility for sale viagra at an alarming rate. The well known medicine of this kind is http://cute-n-tiny.com/cute-animals/pretty-kitten/ viagra online samples; both this medicine is under the control of some branded company. These treatments include: Vacuum pump treatment for impotence: viagra wholesale uk This form of treatment is considered when all other forms of treatment are tried and failed. In this part of the online viagra industry there are no requirements, just that you fit what the client is looking for. She chose to take on a new persona when she crossed into writing paranormal. I think it’s safe to say it has been a successful venture. This reader hopes it will be a while before we have to leave Passion, Alaska. There are an awful lot of hot and sexy shifter groups making themselves known during the present crisis. Wolves, Leopards and Bears, Oh My!!

One of the Dillon clan that hasn’t had much face time in the other three books, brother to Shane and Rand, is Max. He does make an tantalizing appearance in book four. We also get a peek into Rand and Max’s personalities while Eve is creating a connection with Shane. There’s a part in this book where Eve is needing comforting and walks into Rand’s room and simply cuddles up with him on the bed. It was a very sweet and touching moment. When Shane, and later Max, joins them it gets really HOT really fast!!

If you haven’t had the chance to read the first three books in this series it isn’t too late to start now. They are all short stories that focus on Eve getting to know one of the men but due to the back story of the evil threatening them all, they really aren’t stand alones. Each story is well developed and adds to the overall plot. The characters themselves have been fun getting to know. With so many people involved in a single relationship it’s nice to focus on each man one at a time.

Put on your cuddle duds and join me for this fantastic journey into the paranormal and the deep woods of Passion, Alaska. It’s cold but there are plenty of furry HAWT men around to keep you warm!!
