WICKED COWBOY CHARM Blog Tour











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 . . .

Excerpt:
Josie could hardly take her eyes off Deke’s strong arms as he carried a pile of wood the short distance from the box to the fireplace. To have those arms around her, to cuddle up next to him on one of those bunk beds—she shook her head to get the picture out of it and reached for the tin box of matches on the mantel.
“How many do you need?” she asked.
“Just one,” he answered.
“Confident, aren’t you?”
“Not confidence, just practice, ma’am.” He got the fire going with the first one.
“Impressive,” she said.
“We’ll get it warmed up in here soon enough.”
Josie sat down on the sofa facing the fireplace and took stock of the little cabin. A set of bunk beds covered the wall to her right. A doorway into a bathroom was to her left along with crudely made bookshelves with about a hundred well-worn paperback books. A deck of cards was in the middle of a card table with a couple of folding metal chairs on either side. A second table was fitted into the small corner from the end of the bunk beds to the wall and another oil lamp had been placed in the middle of it.
“We’ll survive,” Deke said.
“Who are you trying to convince? Me or you?” Josie asked.
“Both of us. It’s better than freezing to death in our vehicles. Lord, I wish I would have turned around and gone right back home when the first snowflake hit,” he answered.
“Me too.” She threw one arm over her head and groaned.
“Top or bottom?” Deke asked.
“Well, now that depends on lots of things,” she said before she thought.
Deke whipped around, his eyes big as silver dollars. “What did you say?”
She blushed and quickly covered her blooper. “I don’t care. I could sleep right here. Maybe I’ll wake up to find this is all a dream.”
“Okay then, I’ll take the bottom bunk. Rascal gets restless if he’s not sleeping right beside the bed on his blanket or else on the foot of it. And darlin’, if you wake up and find this is a dream, don’t leave me behind.”
“No way, cowboy. You are stuck with me for the duration of this damned storm.”
“And you, darlin’, are stuck with me.”

Review of Christmas with an Angel: A shorty story by Debbie Mason

Brief Summary: 

Michael Gallagher returns to Harmony Harbor for the holidays 8 Years after he left. Now after ending his engagement with a girl from a prominent family he is back in town hoping to move on and do what he wants to with his life instead of what his family wants. What he doesn't plan on is his running into his old High School flame Shay Angel and her family. Will old feelings return or will what happen in the past be too much to move on from? 

My review: 

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is the 6th book I have read of Debbie's and the 2nd in the Harmony Harbor series. I have always enjoyed reading Debbie's books so when I was giving the opportunity to read this short story I jumped at the chance. This book picks up where the last book ended and helps you understand Michael better and why he acts the way he does and why he has changed from his high school days.

If there was one aspect of the book that I did not like was that I felt this book was rushed and that the story was not as developed as her previous book the Harmony Harbor series. I think this book could have been better if she would have just made it into a full book. For instance i felt like the ending left you hanging and wanting more from the story. The story wasn't resolved.

I am interested to see if she does more with this couple in future books or if this is all we will see of them. Can't wait to read the next book.

Review of Mistletoe Cottage by Debbie Mason


Brief Summary 

Sophie DiRossi left Harmony Harbor with a broken heart and a secret that no one could ever find out about. However life does not always go as planned, so when Sophie and her daughter lose their home to a fire she is forced to return home. With her daughter in tow she sets out to build her life again with a new job at the local mansion and put the past behind her. 

Liam Gallagher, a local firefighter never thought he would see the girl from his past he once loved so long ago. So when Sophie Gallagher returns to town unexpected he makes it his mission to show her that he is the one for her. But will things end happily ever after like he plans when his and Sophie's secret are revealed? 

My Review:

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is the 5th book of Debbie Mason's that I have read and the 1st in her Harmony Harbor series. I think that Debbie did a great job in this book developing the characters of both Sophie and Liam but also other characters  and building a great back story to explain why their lives had turned out the way they did. As you read the story you learned more and more about Sophie's past and also Liam's and what led them to who they were today.

In addition to developing great characters Debbie also did a great job of setting the scene. Debbie really made you feel like you were in Harmony Harbor and part of the town. By having the story set in a small town of Harmony Harbor it helped add to the story because the small town feel made sense to the story. What I also enjoyed about this book was all the twists and turns in addition to the romance that she included in the story. The twists and turns added to the story because you never knew where the new twists and turns would lead and how she would end the book. As you read the book it was hard for you to put down because you want to find out the answers.

Can't wait to read more books in this series.
