About the book:

A heartwarming holiday read from USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Brown – Nash Lamont is a man about as solitary as they come. That’s exactly why ranch life in middle-of-nowhere Happy, Texas suits him. So what the heck is he doing letting a beautiful widow and her three rambunctious children temporarily move in? Before he knows it, they’re stringing Christmas lights and decorating the tree… and he’s having the time of his life. But after everything he’s been through, Nash knows this kind of happiness doesn’t last.

 

Kasey Dawson thought she’d never get over the death of her husband. Nash, with his strong hands and infinite patience, is stirring something she hasn’t felt in a long time. Kasey knows the sexy cowboy isn’t telling her everything about this past, though. And she refuses to risk heartbreak all over again. But her kids have a plan of their own: Nothing will keep them from having a real family again-even if it takes a little help from Santa himself.

Excerpt from LONG, TALL COWBOY CHRISTMAS:

Padding out of the room in her flannel pajama pants and an oversized faded shirt, Kasey found Nash washing dishes and no kids in sight.

“Shhh…” He put a finger over his lips. “They just now dropped off for naps. If they hear your voice, they’ll wake up.”

She frowned and pointed toward the dining room. “What is that?”

“Camping out,” he explained.

A white sheet had been draped over the dining room table, creating a tent. Underneath were pillows, books and two sleeping children.

“They’re camping and I’m watching out for bears and skunks,” he explained. “Hungry?”

“Starving. I’m always nauseated at the onset of one of the headaches and afterwards so hungry I could eat one of those bears if you catch it.” She caught a whiff of Italian food. “You cooked?”

“Of course,” he said. “Sit down right here and let me work on your neck. Lots of headaches are stress related and come out of the neck.”

She eased down into a chair and Nash went to work on her temples first, placing his hands on her cheeks so that his thumbs worked on the spots between her eyebrows and hair line. Making lazy circles and increasing the pressure every few seconds, he kept up the massage for a good five minutes before moving around to the back of the chair. He took her neck in his hands, heating her hormones to the boiling point. Rolling it around in his hands, she could feel the tension leaving her body by degrees. Then he began to massage her shoulders, digging his fingers into the knots and dissolving them. The pain in her head dissolved to half strength and her stomach grumbled.

“Now for food. Sit right there and I will bring it to the table.”

Kasey couldn’t remember the last time a man had waited on her.  “God, this is amazing,” she said after taking a bite of the spaghetti he put in front of her. “Did you make the sauce from scratch?”

He nodded. “Just like my cousin Amanda taught me. She married an Italian, and she’s an amazing cook. After eating her marinara, that stuff you buy in a jar at the grocery store is pretty bland.”

“You cook and watch kids, run a ranch—what can you not do?” Kasey asked.

“I’m not real good at talkin’ to most people,” he said.

“That’s not what I see.” She almost groaned when she bit into a slab of garlic bread.

“Oh yeah? And what do you see?”

“I see a man who’s got some demons, but you talk to me just fine,” she told him between bites.

“Well, you’re special,” he replied softly.

WICKED COWBOY CHARM Blog Tour

February 8, 2017

Welcome to my stop on Carolyn Brown’s WOCKED COWBOY CHARM Blog Tour! I’m thrilled to share with you all of the details about this amazing book, including an exclusive Q&A with the author! Enjoy!

About WICKED COWBOY CHARM:

ONE BLIZZARD, ONE BUNKHOUSE, AND A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE . . .

Josie Dawson is new in town, but it doesn’t take a local to know that Deke Sullivan is trouble—in a smokin’ hot package. He’s sweet, sexy, and has charmed just about every woman in Dry Creek, Texas. Well, Josie won’t be next. She’ll keep her distance, even if he is great with babies and makes a mean cup of homemade hot chocolate.

Deke Sullivan really is a one-woman type of guy. He just had to do a lot of looking to find that one woman. Now he thinks he’s found her and he won’t let a strong, sassy gal like Josie slip away. Just when he’s wondering how to convince her he only has eyes for her, they get stranded in a tiny cabin during a major blizzard. If Deke can melt her heart before they dig out of the snow, he’ll be the luckiest cowboy in Texas . . .

Q&A With Carolyn Brown:

Describe yourself in five words.

Organized. Bossy (but only a little bit). Sassy. Loving. Kind (on the days my characters are cooperating)

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received in your writing career?

Write every single day even if it’s only a page and even if it’s bad writing. You can always rewrite something later if it’s not good. The other was to never give up. I had enough rejection letters to wall paper the White House and I mean the one in Washington D.C., not the little one bedroom shotgun house up the street. Twenty years worth of them filed away in a drawer before I finally sold my first book. So keep writing and never give up.

What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve looked up in the name of research – or what do you think the government has maybe flagged you for?

If they come looking for me it will be to search my house for guns, I’m sure. (NOTE: I do have my pink .38 pistol tucked away in a purple silk bag so hopefully they’ll think it’s makeup or jewelry). But if they ever come to carry me away in handcuffs it will be for threatening to blow up spell check. A quick story: I was writing a sex scene and I used the word crescendo but alas I misspelled it and when I was doing the spell check just before I sent it to the editor, it corrected it to credenza. Thank goodness I had a good copy editor! There’s money hidden right beside the pistol for bail so please come get me out of jail if that ever happens.

Which actor/actress would you like to see playing your main characters from WICKED COWBOY CHARM?

If we could get Blake Shelton to do some acting, he could be Deke. And Carrie Underwood would be an excellent Josie.

What is an unknown fact or fun trivia about WICKED COWBOY CHARM?

When I started writing this series, I had no idea that Deke would get his own story but my fans kept asking and so here it is. I really love my awesome fans and here’s hoping that they all love Wicked Cowboy Charm!
