Cowgirl Crazy Blog Tour + Review

cowgirl-crazy-FB-newrelease-header2  
NEW RELEASE by Amazon bestselling author of the Texas Trouble series! COWGIRL CRAZY (#2, Cowboy Way) 


Cowboys are a different breed... They work hard, play hard and love harder. It's all about the ride, until the right woman makes them fall. 

  cowgirl-crazy-cover  

BLURB: 
Twyla Taylor is one frustrated cowgirl. She's not winning at barrel racing or in love. She's spent ten years nursing a crush on her brother's best friend, Ryan Easter, who thinks of her as no more than his little sister. When Twyla catches Ryan with yet another no-good buckle bunny, and calls him out, he tells her to get a life, and that is exactly what she decides to do. One that does not include a buckle-bunny-chasing cowboy with a bad attitude, or an overbearing older brother. Ryan Easter is one frustrated cowboy. He's winning every night at bronc riding, and has a different woman in every city. Mostly so he can keep his best friend's fiery little sister, and his desire for her, at bay. Since she grew those proud little breasts of hers, and mile-long legs, Ryan has had to fight his attraction to her. If her brother knew what he was thinking, he would kill Ryan, if her daddy didn't first. Ryan valued the surrogate family the Taylor's provided him with too much to ever go there with their youngest member. His diversion techniques work like a charm, until one night he pushes her too far, and Twyla takes off. Ryan knows he has to find her quickly and apologize, or face his best friend's wrath. He finds Twyla in Dallas and decides she's definitely gone cowgirl crazy. He barely recognizes her, because his barrel-racing tomboy is wearing makeup that looks like it was put on with a putty knife and she's working at a bar which borders on a cowgirl strip club. When she isn't serving shots off of her stomach, she's shaking her round ass for any man with a dollar to shove into the waistband of her barely-there shorts. Twyla refuses to leave with him, and Ryan knows he better make his final arrangements, or come up with another way to convince her and fast.  

HOT (18+) EXCERPT from COWGIRL CRAZY... 
Ignoring her comment, and what had to be her obvious discomfort, Ryan stepped forward, leaned over her to balance his shot glass about two inches under her navel. Heather always put it at the base of her ribcage, so a little would spill into her navel, but Ryan put his lower. Her muscles contracted, as the cold glass touched her skin and heat zinged through her as she thought about him licking her up to the glass, before taking the shot. The amber liquid sloshed in the glass, and he frowned. “No spilling, Twy, or there will be consequences.” His eyes met hers and his pupils were dilated almost as large as the blue irises. His breathing came in short spurts, and she could see his pulse pounding at the side of his throat. The look on his handsome face said he would relish delivering those consequences. “By the time I’m done, I’ll really need that drink.” A shiver worked itself up her body from her toes, and the glass wobbled. She gasped and contracted her muscles to steady it. Agitation bristled through her. “Why don’t you just have the damned shot then, and get on with this?” That’s what she really wanted. His hand clamped on her ankle, and he grinned. “Patience is a virtue, darlin’. Slow is not always a bad thing, and I’m about to teach you that, and a lot more.” His voice was heavy with anticipation, and his sensual threat was punctuated by his tongue making a trip around his lips. Her eyes followed it around and heat sizzled along her nerves to singe her at the apex of her thighs. Maybe this is why all those bunnies she saw leaving his trailer were smiling. They must have had the patience he was talking about, and liked that Ryan was slow as a turtle in his lovemaking. Twyla wasn’t sold on it yet, but deciding to try to find the patience he asked her to have. She a huffed a breath then relaxed and uncurled her fists. What the hell did she know about all this, anyway? She was green as grass at this, he knew what he was doing. Had done it many times. Too many. “Get on with it, then,” she grumbled, settling her focus on keeping that shot glass steady on her lower abdomen. Ryan’s dark head appeared in her line of vision, and Twyla gasped. His eyes met hers over the plane of her tummy, and were filled with mischief and purpose. His hot breath tickled her thighs when he warned, “Keep it still, Twyla. No spilling.” He slid his hands, behind her calves, and under her thighs to hold her hands at her sides, then turned his face to plant a wet kiss on her inner thigh. His mouth latched there and he sucked, while his tongue swirled on her skin. Fire zipped up to her core, her muscles contracted, and Twyla whimpered. The glass wobbled and she knew right then she was in big trouble. ___________________________________________________

My Review:




 Ryan Easter and Twyla Taylor have secretly loved each other for 10 years.  Twyla hasn’t been so secretive in her affection for Ryan.  Zach, Twyla’s brother and Ryan have always been protective of her and scare away any guy that shows interest in her.  They have been doing the rodeo circuit together for 10years. One day Ryan and Twyla get in another fight.  He is trying to push her away so that he doesn’t have to deal with the way he feels for her.  He feels like he owes her family for helping him when he was younger.  Twyla has had enough with it and decides she is done with the rodeo and decides to go live with her friend in Dallas.  To start living her life and doing what she wants instead of what everyone else wants.  Zack tells Ryan to go get her and bring her back, so he goes to Dallas to see what Twyla is doing there.  He doesn’t like what he finds and thus starts their journey.  I really liked this book.  This book was a little different than the first book in this series.  They have known each other for a long time and have been fighting feelings for each other for just about the whole time.  It took her leaving for him to realize that he didn’t want to fight those feelings anymore and wanted to prove how much he loves her to her.  The book takes some turns I wasn’t expecting but loved.  The ending was fantastic.  They really love each other and would do anything for each other.  The book was an emotional rollercoaster.  I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.  After reading the first two books in the series I went and book the set the novella is in.  It is about Cord and Hope.  I love how all the characters are in all the books.

His skin was velvety smooth over his rock hard shaft, and he tasted faintly of salt and muskiness. Pure male. I cupped his balls in my free hand and looked up to see him staring down at me with a look in his piercing blue eyes that told me this was exactly what he'd had in mind. Over and over, I swallowed his cock, loving the sound of his moans as I inched him closer and closer to release.
I felt his hands tighten in my hair, sending delicious pain skittering across my scalp. Looking down at me, he licked his lips and grinned. "Slow. I want this to last."
Controlling my pace, he fucked my mouth slowly and methodically, and I licked and sucked every glorious inch of him.

Hour Glass Blog Tour +Review

 

Title: Hourglass

Authors: K.S. Smith & Megan C. Smith

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

  hourglass cover 
  HG SYNOPSIS   

Best friends since birth, Brooke Reid and Savannah Prescott, spend their days working together at top fashion magazine Hourglass, while enjoying all that the Denver nightlife has to offer – but sharing a man – no way.

One of Denver’s most eligible bachelors, Luke Wellington, can have any woman he wants and he knows it. Putting his player skills to the test, he destroys a friendship and makes two women fall in love with him as he sits back and enjoys the best of both worlds.

Brooke Reid is a woman looking for her happily ever after, and the day she literally ran in to him, she thought she’d found it. Charming, charismatic, a true gentleman – what more could she ask for? Things are going perfectly until her best friend struts in the elevator and claimed his lips right in front of her.

Savannah Prescott is interested in one thing, having a good time with every single man Denver has to offer. Being tied down is too much of a bore for her free spirited ways. Or so she thinks, but when her best friend starts dating her Friday night fling, she realizes she may be ready to turn in her game card and settle down into a real relationship.

When both girls come to the realization that they are after the same man, it means all-out war. Best friends until the end, or at least until him.

HG TRAILER   

HG EXCERPT   

Finally! I thought to myself, taking Luke’s face between the palms of my hands and laying an earth shattering kiss on him right in the elevator for my best friend to see. “I’ve been dying to introduce you to my…” Releasing Luke’s face I looked to my left and then to my right. “Where in the hell did she go?”

Glancing back at Luke’s panic-stricken face, I tried to figure out why Brooke had bolted. What in the hell is wrong with that woman? Wrapping my arms around Luke’s neck, I kissed his cheek. “You look like you’ve just seen a ghost. What’s wrong?” As he was shaking his head no, I pulled my arms from around his neck and placed them at my side.

“Nothing, today is just really busy. Do you know by chance where her office is?”

Confused, I scrunched my eyes together. “Who, Brooke?” Luke nodded. “Well of course I do, Luke, that’s my best friend, the one I’ve been dying to introduce you to.”

His face turned white as a sheet. “Shit” he mumbled under his breath.

I stepped out of the elevator on the ninth floor and walked with Luke toward our parking spaces, he was clearly shaken as beads of sweat were now lining his hairline. “Luke, you’re sweating and I’m not even wearing a revealing top, are you sure you’re okay?” He nodded again. What is wrong with everyone today? I’m dealing with Brooke’s disappearing act, and Luke seems to have swallowed his tongue. “You better be because I’m not in the mood for another rain check tonight.”

Winking at him, I hopped into my car and then took off for my photo shoot. I picked up my phone to dial Brooke as I zoomed through traffic. Her cell went straight to voice mail, so I called the office and got the same thing, voice mail. Trying her cell one more time only to be dumped into her voice mail box for the third time, I conceded. “Brooke, what happened to you in the elevator? I wanted to introduce you to Luke. Isn’t he gorgeous? I’ll be out at a shoot all day, so we’ll have to catch up later. In the meantime, Google Lucas Wellington, his pictures are to die for, but nothing compares to the body under those clothes, and most importantly, his huge you know what! Let’s do a quick dinner tonight, my place. I’ll pick up takeout on the way home, and we’ll have Carl sneak us into your new condo for a tour. We’ll have to wrap up early though; I’m planning on having Luke as my dessert. Love you.” After I hung up, I cranked my music up as loud as it would go and sang along with Katy Perry and Juicy J, making up my own lyrics to their chart topper, Dark Horse. “Her love is like a drug, Luke was tryna hit it and quit it. But Savannah is so dope Luke messed around and got addicted”

 

  HG REVIEW 
     

This book is about 2 best friends Savannah and Brooke, and a boy.  Savannah works as a photographer and the famous Hourglass fashion magazine 2 years.  Brooke has just finished up an internship and wants to work and Hourglass.  Savannah has been having a regular Friday night booty call with Luke for awhile now.  All it is sex, or is it.  After interviewing at Hourglass on Friday Savannah and Brooke go out celebrating.  The next day Brooke needs to let off steam so she takes a drive.  While on her way she gets into an accident her car is okay but the other guys needs to be towed away.  His name is Lucas and they wind up spending the morning together.  Brooke can’t wait to talk to Savannah about this great new guy she meet.  Savannah learns on Monday that she got the job and has a date with Lucas what could be better.  She starts work the next day and soon learns that she and Savannah are seeing the same guy.  Savannah shakes it off and tells her that she will stop seeing Luke and for Brooke to go for it, as it looks like they really like each other and for her its just sex or at least that’s what she thinks at the time.  Savannah realizes that maybe she really does like Luke and it wasn’t just about sex after all.   She decides to go to New York and help out a friend for the week.  The fun starts when she gets back.  Luke is at the airport to pick her up and tells her that he misses her and he likes Brooke but it just isn’t the same as how he feels about her.  Mean while he is still going out with Brooke and has told he thinks he may be falling in love with her.  Will the girls realize they are being playing and dating the same man?  How long can Luke keep this up?  What will happen when they girls realize what is going on?  I really liked this book it was different for the others books I have read.  I loved Brooke and Savannah.  They have a great friendship and love each other like sisters.  I liked Luke at first until I found out he was dating both girls and messing with their friendship.  He know all the right things to say with out it seeming like he was up to something.  I really liked what happened after the girls figured it out.  Instead of just getting mad and yelling at him they came up with a way to get back at him.  The ending was wonderful.  I was really happy that the girls got a happily ever after, after the mess they went through with Luke.  I would love to read more about what happens between the girls and guys.
