#HumpDayHottie - Sleeping Bear...shhhh

It's raining today. The dark skies combined with the melody of rain and distant rolling thunder make for a perfect sleep/nap day.

Grandma always said it's best to let sleeping bears lie.
But can we sneak up on one to watch?

Tuesday Teaser - Perfect Ride (Ridden Hard #1)

Sqeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

When my friends Eva and Shiloh got together 

and the result was a hot m/m contemporary romance,

 I knew I HAD to have it. 

I guarantee you won't be able to put this novella down.

Likable guys with real emotions.

Professional bull rider Garrett Anderson lives for the next town, the next trophy and his next ride. When he rolls into Sheridan, Wyoming, the last thing he expected was to meet a cowboy like Cole—a man who corrals his heart and leaves him aching for the kind of love he’s been missing.

A bull tender on the PBR circuit Cole Richards secretly longs for a lover but wasn't prepared for Garrett’s passion or the longing their one brief tryst kindles.  After he is shot and recovering in his hospital bed, Cole can only watch Garrett’s disastrous ride afraid it could be his last. Heartbroken when the battered and bruised bull rider leaves town, Cole knows better than to hope to see him again.

Attacked again and knee-deep in trouble, Cole wants only Garrett at his side. But can his bull rider trade fame and fortune for a lifetime with his one perfect ride?

Excerpt:

“There he is.” Cole put a foot up on the lower slat of the fence and rested his arms on the upper. “Take a good look at him while he’s standing still. You won’t see him like this in the ring.”

He eyed the bull with respect. He stood out from the rest of the top ten. Spitfire was big, over sixteen hundred pounds of pure, cream-colored power, topped with foot-and-a-half long horns. The way Spitfire eyed him and began to dig at the ground like he wanted to test the limits of the temporary fence sent a shiver up his spine. He’d have to be careful with this one. He gave Cole a sidelong look and studied the man as he watched his bull.

He liked the sandy-blond stubble dusting the man’s chin and cheek. Liked the way his lips were wide and meaty and showed a bit of wear at the edges, betraying either late-night trysts or the tendency to chew on them as he worried. Garrett voted for the latter. Oh, he could picture Cole bent over taking it from another man easily enough, but the thought made him instantly jealous, so he squelched the notion. With nowhere to set his still full plate, he perched it on the top of a post. 

“You keep a pretty close watch on him?” Cole nodded. “He’s a rebellious one. An escape artist, too. A little too smart for his britches. Someday he’ll end up in the slaughterhouse if he’s not careful.”

Garrett laughed and slapped the dust off his thigh, the motion garnering Cole’s attention. The heat of Cole’s gaze flushed him warm all over. He couldn't help but engage in a little appreciation of his own. His tongue wetted his lips as he took in the round curve of Cole’s ass, his narrow hips, up his wide, work-chiseled chest, and finally his face. The man’s gaze blazed hotter as Garrett brushed his hand closer to his groin. 

“That’d be a waste if you ask me.”

Cole swallowed and snapped his attention back up, his eyes shining. “Yes, it would be. A real shame.”

A Favorite Military Series

The newest release in the LOST AND FOUND series by J.m. Madden is live at Amazon and B&N. EMBATTLED HOME (Lost and Found #3) deals with PTSD, so just wanted to give you a heads up. I believe J.M. Madden handles it well. Her series about wounded warriors has been acclaimed by veterans and their families from the beginning. I think my readers also will appreciate her realistic approach to Military Romance, she's a wonderful writer.

Here's the link for the new book at Amazon

I love these stories! If you are new to the series, get the first book FREE and FOR A LIMITED TIME the next two are only 99 cents each. J.M. says they're "stand alones", but if you like to read a series in order...
