Leave a comment to enter to win one of two copies of Lucky in Love!
Hello. Thank you for inviting me to visit your site today. I’m delighted to be here.
Lucky in Love, the first in the Lucky Trilogy, hit the bookshelves last week. One Lucky Cowboy, follows it on November 1 and the finale, Getting Lucky, has a publication date of January 1, 2010.
I’m very excited about the sexy Luckadeau men and the feisty women who locked horns with them in the three books. It’s been said that behind every successful man is a woman standing in the shadows. The ladies in the Lucky Series are definitely not shadow women. They are right out there in the limelight with the successful men. They are sassy and prone to having temper fits instead of vapors. How about a peek at the hero and heroine in Lucky in Love?
Beau stopped dead in his tracks, not three feet from the stranger who turned out to be a feisty woman instead of a short man. Her brown eyes flashed as much anger as danced in his steel blue ones. She’d jerked her hat off in the middle of the tirade about Jim getting mad about the bull, and hair as black as the bull grazing in the pasture had fallen down to the middle of her back. Her lips were full and sexy and her eyebrows arched in pure rage. A tingle on the nape of his neck said he’d met this hell cat somewhere before, but he damn sure didn’t know where.
He might be a sucker for dark hair and big, brown eyes, but no one was cutting his fence and using his prize bull without paying stud fees. To be threatening him on top of her stupidity was adding insult to injury, and Beau wasn’t in any mood to explain to this upstart female that the Bar M was his ranch now, not Alice Martin’s.
He pointed his finger at her. “Don’t you lie to me. You’ve cut this fence and thought you’d take advantage of my prize bull. That bull is worth a whole pasture of those ignorant cows and I don’t let him breed nobody’s cattle for free. Not even Jim’s — even though he’s my neighbor and friend. Either that or you’re lying your way through an attempted rustling.”
She slapped his finger away. “Get back on your land. And don’t point at me or yell at me again. I didn’t cut the fence, but I’m damn sure going to repair it so your horny bull won’t be on Lazy Z ground again. And I am not a cattle rustler.”
She shoved her hand in the pocket of her tight blue jeans and hoped it didn’t burn a hole right through the denim. Just touching him brought back memories she’d buried and long since tried to forget. It all went to show just how damn fickle her body could be. One touch and she was a melting pot of passionate hormones again.
“You ain’t repairing a thing. I’ll fix the fence as soon as I get my bull back in my own pasture.” He turned abruptly and stomped back to his three wheeler, crawled into the seat like it was a saddle and started toward the fence. Where had he seen her before? When she touched his finger, desire shot through his body like he’d only known one time before. But that wasn’t possible. That had just been a drunk man’s dream that set him firmly on the sober wagon for all eternity.
She pulled a .22 rifle from the sheath fastened to the side of her saddle and before he had gone ten feet, she fired twice, dusting up the gravel in front of him. That got his attention.
He growled deep in his throat. “You stupid bitch. You could have killed me. Put that gun down right now.”
There was no way that spit fire of a woman had been in his dreams. Maybe in his worst nightmare, but damn sure not in any sweet dream like he remembered when he thought about a night in paradise with a lady named Amelia.
“If I’d wanted to kill you, you’d be dead. And if you want to be dead, you just tell me what part you want shot first and where you want to drop and I’ll make it as painless as possible. And don’t you ever call me a bitch again. You get a warnin’ the first time but the second time I just let my anger have its way.”
Do you like to read about feisty women who aren’t afraid to stand up for their rights and state their opinions? Does that excerpt make you want to find out if Beau was ever stupid enough to call her a bitch again?
Lucky in Love—in stores September!
When hunky rancher “Lucky Beau” Luckadeau accuses spitfire Milli Torres of stealing his prize bull, she promptly shoots at him, triggering a feud that only gets resolved when they discover they share a steamy hot memory from a night long ago…
It was a night of passion that has always haunted Lucky. The mysterious beauty he seduced at a cousin’s wedding disappeared. He’s always been lucky at cards, lucky with cattle, and lucky with land, but he’s never been lucky in love.
Now Milli Torres has come to southern Oklahoma to help out on her grandfather’s ranch. A cut fence and a big, mean Angus bull in the pasture are bad enough, but then she looks up and sees Beau Luckadeau. Great God Almighty, how did he get from Louisiana to Ardmore, Oklahoma, and what in the hell is she going to do if he recognizes her?

I can’t wait to see read this book! Now more than ever…
Do you like to read about feisty women who aren’t afraid to stand up for their rights and state their opinions? Heck yes! We are raised in the OK/TX area to be feisty. We are all trying to earn our Superman tattoo!
Does that excerpt make you want to find out if Beau was ever stupid enough to call her a bitch again? I know if he’d have called me a bitch, he’d not be standing when he finished the sentence! I wonder where Carolyn Brown would have gotten the idea. Hmmmm, Momma WHERE did you get the idea? *laugh*
This author is MY MOMMA and I’m sooooooooo proud of her for realizing her dream of being a romance author. She’s one amazing woman and she earned her Superman tattoo a long, long time ago!

I love to read about feisty women ~ especially if they have a good looking cowboy to be feisty at! Speaking of feisty… I helped my Dad put a roof on our house this summer. The one thing that really ticked me off was when I would have to admit that I just didn’t have a man’s strength for a certain task. Us women have to give birth for pete’s sake… we should’ve at least been given equal strength to a man. It’s good some of us gals are mean enough to keep them guy’s in line most of the time though. :0)
Does that excerpt make you want to find out if Beau was ever stupid enough to call her a bitch again? I don’t think Beau is quite that stupid. LOL I’ll tell yall ~ my Mama wrote this book and I KNOW where she got this bitch thing. Amy who posted before me is my sister and I called her a bitch ~ ONCE!!!! My brains are still rattling around from her trying to shake them out my ears. In the past few years I have called her a bitch a couple times ~ just funning around… but as the word came out of my mouth I was already RUNNING!!!! :0)
I have read this book and it is wonderful! Milli could scare the slime off a toad’s a#@ with her temper. And Beau ~ oooo baybee!!!! Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Mama ~ I’m proud of you for all of your writing, but mostly I’m proud of the fact that you raised us girls to have a set of balls of our own. Now you can be proud cuz we’re passin’ that along to our girls. Don’t the world turn ‘round!?!
