Briar Creek's quaint shop windows, cozy homes nestled in snow, and neighborly residents are what Christmas dreams are made of--for everyone except Grace Madison. She left her hometown years ago to pursue a writing career. But when her father's death leaves his bookstore empty, Grace must return to face why she fled Vermont in the first place: Luke Hastings, who still heats her up like a shot of smoky whiskey on a cold winter's night. 

Grace is back, and Luke is worried. How much has she changed as a bestselling author in the big city? What memories will she stir up? And was the choice he made five years ago the biggest mistake of his life? Now, with their past, present, and future rocking around the Christmas tree, it's time for Grace and Luke to face the music . . . and the mistletoe.

Psychologist Ellie Simpson is about to get a healthy dose of sex therapy. Leaving her cheating boyfriend behind, she has everything she needs for a quick rebound: Vegas, plenty of champagne, and a proposition from the sexiest man she's ever seen. As her handsome stranger helps her ring in the New Year-over and over again-Ellie finds herself blissfully losing all of her inhibitions. 

Attorney Matthew McPherson is good at making women lose things, like their minds and underwear. With his athletic build and soulful eyes, he doesn't need to use his powers of persuasion or famous last name to get a woman into bed. But when morning comes, Matthew finds Ellie is the only woman he can't bear to leave-ever. It's enough to make him wonder if what happens in Vegas really has to stay there.

Free-spirited activist Skylar Davis is out of money and out of options. After using up her trust fund trying to save the world, she hides out in Christmas, hoping the kindness of friends will help her forget the reckless actions of her past. All goes well . . . until she comes face-to-face with one of her mistakes: the town's gorgeous young mayor. 

Ethan O'Connor likes his life drama-free and predictable now that he's about to make the move from small-town politics to the Colorado State Senate. Then Skye blows back into town, as impulsive and passionate as he remembers. If word ever got out about their night together-the night he's never been able to forget-the scandal could cripple his career. Yet as he starts his campaign, Ethan finds that, like the town of Christmas itself, he can't get Skye out of his head . . . or his heart.

Kristen Ashley grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana, and has lived in Denver, Colorado, and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multigenerational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland, and Kristen grew up listening to the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Whitesnake.

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

What’s better than Christmas? Christmas and Cowboys. Contemporary romance stars Emma Cane, Jennifer Ryan, and Katie Lane join together for a holiday anthology to remember.

“The Christmas Cabin” by Emma Cane Sandy, recently diagnosed with MS and abandoned by her husband, is determined to make Christmas special for her five-year-old Nate. While they’re trooping through the woods to cut down their Christmas tree, a snowstorm arises, and a mysterious old ranch hand points them toward an abandoned cabin. Little do they realize, the ranch hand also guides cowboy Doug Thalberg to the same place…

“Can’t Wait” by Jennifer Ryan
Before The Hunted series, Caleb and Summer had a whirlwind romance not to be forgotten...
Caleb Bowden has a lot to thank his best friend, Jack, for - saving his life in Iraq and giving him a job helping him run his family’s ranch. He also introduced him to the most incredible woman he’s ever met. Too bad he can’t ask her out. You do not date your best friend’s sister. Summer and Caleb share a closeness she’s never felt for anyone, but the stubborn man refuses to turn the flirtatious friendship into something meaningful. Frustrated and tired of wishing to be happy, Caleb tells Jack how he feels about Summer. With his friend’s help, he plans a surprise Christmas proposal she’ll never forget - because he can’t wait to make her his wife.


“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Katie Lane
Alana Hale is tired of irresponsible beach bums whose only plan for the future is catching the next “awesome” wave. So when she tries her luck with an internet dating service and ends up hitting the Responsible-Sensitive-Man jackpot, she wastes no time accepting Clint McCormick’s invitation to spend the holidays on his family’s ranch. But when an unexpected blizzard strands Alana, she’ll be forced to find refuge in the arms of a womanizing rodeo cowboy who knows how to take the chill off a cold winter night. Now Alana will have to make a choice between the man who heats her blood and the man who touches her heart. Or will she? Mistaken identity will give Alana the man of her dreams and a very “Marry” Christmas.

Interview with Emma Cane

 

 

A Tasty Read: Thank you for taking the time to stop by A Tasty Read to chat about Cowboys and Your Upcoming Release, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A COWBOY

 

Emma Cane: Thanks for having me, Lisa!

ATR: So, your upcoming Holiday Release is an Anthology with Katie Lane and Jennifer Ryan. Do you find sharing a release with other authors makes it less nerve racking?

 

Emma: Well, it’s certainly fun, talking about shared twitter promotions, as well as visiting each other’s blogs and interviews. But I imagine an author is always nervous when a new book comes out. We just want our readers to enjoy it!

ATR: Your Novella, THE CHRISTMAS CABIN, is a Valentine Novella. Have we met these characters before within any of the Valentine Series Novels?

 

Emma: They’ve been in every book, but since this story is a prequel, you don’t need to have read any of the others to enjoy it. I call this my “historical” novella, set in the 1980s—ha!—because it’s the story of how the parents of my main characters met. Their children are the heroes and heroine of A TOWN CALLED VALENTINE, TRUE LOVE AT SILVER CREEK RANCH, and the February 2014 book, THE COWBOY OF VALENTINE VALLEY.

ATR: Since this is a Holiday Anthology, what are some of your Holiday Traditions? Favorite Foods? Christmas Carols?

 

Emma: Oh, we love the holidays around here. One tradition is that my tree decorations are only gifts or handmade crafts. I still have the gift tags my kids made in nursery school, now used as ornaments. Since my kids are grown, it’s extra-special to see their little scribbled names on those tags. My favorite thing to do is bake about twelve different kinds of cookies with my kids and give them away as gifts. We play a lot of Christmas music while we bake, our favorite being “John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.” It’s not Christmas without Reese Bars, Seven Layer Bars, Cut-Out Cookies, and fudge. You might sense a chocolate domination theme…

ATR: What are you writing next for The Valentine Series?

 

Emma: I have back-to-back books coming out in February and March: THE COWBOY OF VALENTINE VALLEY, about a former Hollywood bad girl arriving in town and the cowboy who tries to tame her; and A PROMISE AT BLUEBELL HILL, about a presidential wedding in town where a Secret Service Agent squares off against a flower shop owner. 

ATR: Why Cowboys? What about them do you find the readers like the most?

 

Emma: I think readers really appreciate the honorability and honesty in cowboys. They’re men who work with their hands, who know how to fix things—manly men. And cowboys are always thought of as loners. What woman doesn’t want to bring joy and companionship to that kind of man?

ATR: A Huge Congrats on the New Release, and Since the commenters are sharing What They Want for Christmas, why don't you tell us What YOU want for Christmas?

 

Emma: All right, this will sound really hokey, but I’d love to have all of my kids home for the holidays. That would be the best Christmas present, but it can never happen, because my son always has to work around the holidays. Ah well, I get to see him other times of the year!

ATR: Since this is A Tasty Read Book Reviews, do you have a recipe to share or a Tasty Book Recommendation for my readers?

 

Emma: I have a great recipe to share, and so easy! These get devoured first off my Christmas Cookie plate.

 

Emma Cane’s Reese Bars

1 c. peanut butter

Sweet Holiday Romance

Hunk for the Holidays

Have you ever been caught up in a situation where someone assumed you were someone else, when you were really the last person they would want to associate with??  Well...that is there James Sutton finds himself a few days before Christmas, standing in front of Cassie McPherson, beautiful, sexy, and looking for her escort for the night.  What's a man to do?

Cassie thinks that this amazingly sexy man is the escort she hired to be her date for the annual Christmas Party.  Never before has she felt an instant attraction to a man as she does with James, so when the mistletoe is hanging and the drinks are flowing, what's a girl to do?

Cassie and James fall for one another, hook, line and sinker, but what will happen when Cassie finds out that her "James' is none other than James Sutton of Sutton Construction, the company trying to put her company out of business. 

I really enjoyed this Holiday Romance.  It was sweet, funny, sexy and laugh-out-loud funny!  The second James and Cassie set eyes on each other,  it's MAGIC!!  Their chemistry jumps off the pages, with sweet tender words and then smokin' hot love makin, you can't help but love these two together.

I found this book so funny in some parts, especially when Cassie tries to make things better between her and James and she just makes things WAYYYYYY worse.  Haha..you will have to read to find out what I am talking about.

This is a great Holiday Romance and one that I HIGHLY recommend.  It will definitely be a romance to read over and over each year around the holidays!!
