Well, aside from the enduring message of Dr. Seuss in Oh The Places You’ll Go I’ve been re-reading some of my favorite romance novels. This happens a lot when I’m nearing the final stages of a first draft, it gives my mind a treat, but lets me focus on my own characters. It’s sort of like having chocolate without the calories.
It’s no surprise I have brides on the brain since my daughter’s engagement, so in the past weeks I’ve returned to the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts. The series always puts me in a happy ever after mood (and now it adds a boost of wedding planning mood too).
Being in a ‘bridal’ mood, I was instantly excited to learn Kathy Carmichael has a new book out: My Southern Bride
Part of her Texas Two-Step series, this book has all the things I enjoy in Kathy’s writing. Packed with humor, tenderness, and loads of romance, (the hunky cowboy hero is fabulous too) My Southern Bride is a wonderful addition to the series.
From the back cover: A freak Texas Storm leaves Lori Palmer trapped with her worst nightmare: hunky rodeo cowboy Monty Joe Nelson, who knew her before she reinvented her life.
Injured by the storm, Monty Joe is forced to rely on Lori to care for him and his farm. But he doesn’t trust Lori now any more than he did before she supposedly became a ‘better person.’
For Lori, proving herself less-selfish by juggling a barn full of demanding animals and one cranky cowboy will be easy. Tripping into an intimate moment with a man who can’t return love… that will ruin all she’s worked to become.
