Honky Tonk Hearts Blog Hop!

Gus Rankin owner of
The Lonesome Steer HonkyTonk

Ladies, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking old Gus, owner of The Lonesome Steer Honky Tonk, couldn’t have brought together all the lonely, broken hearts that he did. But I’m here to tell you I have. Not only do I have the pictures of these couples in my office to prove it, but there’s been a whole series of romances written about the men and women who found love at The Lonesome Steer. And just like every one of my couples, each of these romances is a keeper.

The authors of these books have put together a Valentine Blog Hop, an easy way for you to get a sneak peak at every story. Each stop will feature an excerpt that takes place in The Lonesome Steer. And there are prizes to put a bounce in your Texan Two-Step. To be eligible to win, visit each blog link below and leave a comment. The more hop stops you visit and comment on, the more chances YOU have to win a $50 gift card to The Wild Rose Press. In addition, the publisher has provided a second grand prize of a $25 gift card to The Wild Rose Press and a TWRP Mug for a random commenter (sorry, US visitors only for the mug prize). Some of the ladies will also be giving away their own personal prizes. So whatcha waitin’ for? Happy hoppin’!

Nothing But Trouble by Jannine Gallant

First the blurb:

Chase Paladin avoids commitment like a patch of stinging nettles. He's seen how love can trample a man, and he doesn't plan to get hitched—ever. But when Honor Jackson walks into his life, hell-bent on keeping her distance, she turns his convictions inside out.

One look at the too-handsome cowboy with laughing green eyes and a killer smile, and Honor knows he's nothing but trouble. She's come to Redemption, Texas to help an old friend, not to let another man charm her into certain heartache.

But every time she turns around, Chase is there, and the closer they get, the more she fears he'll break her heart. So when anonymous threats make it clear that someone in Redemption wants her gone, Honor is ready to oblige. Only now Chase isn’t certain he can live without her. 

Will two wary hearts take a chance on love before it's too late?

Now the Excerpt:

   Chase sat and took a long pull on his beer. “Maybe not. Do you want to leave?”
   “Why would I want to do that? Just because a bunch of your ex-girlfriends are here—”
   “Only three of them.”
   She ignored his interruption and drained her glass. “I’m drinking vodka for courage. We’re going to sing.”
   “We are?” He glanced to the stage where a cowboy wearing a battered hat and alligator boots stood at the front of the crowd, murdering a Willy Nelson tune. “Guess I couldn’t sound worse than he does.”
   When the last tortured notes ended, Honor pulled him up on stage and flipped through the list. “We need a duet—Leather and Lace. Oh God, I love that song. Do you know it?”
   The way she was clutching his arm and smiling into his eyes, he would have sung just about anything. “I think I can manage.”
   Her voice was pure and beautiful. Listening to her croon the melody put a lump in his throat, and he swallowed against it. He choked out lyrics that asked a question. Could she love a man like him? He wasn’t sure of the answer, and God help him, he didn’t think sleeping with Honor was going to be enough. He wanted more.
   She sang of love and need, giving and taking. Her voice trailed off to hoots and cheers and stomping feet, but her gaze never left his. What he saw in her eyes left him feeling gut punched.
   He dragged in a breath and led her from the stage. “That was something.”
   “Yes it was.”

Nothing But Trouble - The Reviews Are In!

I've gotten some really terrific comments from reviewers for Nothing But Trouble, and I thought I'd share.

From Alberta at Manic Readers 4.5 Stars:

In the way of immovable objects meeting irresistible forces, their goals change, their conflicts are overcome, and they manage to find a middle ground for their romance. Nothing But Trouble is a cute little story, which you’ll enjoy at the beach or lake, or on your way to exotic places.

From Heather at Sizzling Hot Book Reviews 4 Stars:

I adored the the characters in Nothing But Trouble, especially Honor. She's a tough as nails girl, with vulnerability that lingers just under the surface. She's caring and sweet with a lot of love to give. I admired her ability to stay strong in the face of crisis and pain. She's a heroine that you will be sure to love. On the other hand, you won't just adore Chase, you will literally fall in love with this cowboy. He's sensual, sexy, and down right hilarious. He tells it how it is, all the time, and he will never tell you otherwise. He's got this sweetness to him that he tends to hide under his masculinity, and that alone is pure awesomeness. These characters made Nothing But Trouble a fun and lighthearted romance.

From Vonnie at Vintage Vonnie:

This is a classic love story, full of emotion, endearing characters and honesty. It's a keeper, in my opinion. One I plan to read over and over.

A big thank you to the reviewers for taking the time to read my book. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! For the full reviews, click on the links.
