Enjoy an excerpt:
He snagged her hand and lifted her arm above her head in a fluid motion, maneuvering her into a dance spin that landed her in his arms. Her dress whirled against his thighs, and she found herself aligned with solid muscle from chest to hip.
“Bad enough you left me on the trail, walking away on the dance floor is just plain rude.”
A push on his chest proved ineffective, so she leaned back. “I prefer to choose my own dance partners.”
“I prefer to choose the way I get down a mountain,” he countered.
“A gentleman would accept my apology and let it go.”
“I never claimed to be a gentleman.”
Something in his tone reminded her of that kiss in her tent. Her gaze shifted to his lips. As she stared, his head lowered. Her breath caught and her pulse skipped, but he bypassed her mouth to rest his cheek against hers. She barely contained a sigh of disappointment as the scent of cedar boughs and citrus assaulted her senses.
“I knew it. You enjoyed that kiss as much as I did,” he taunted softly.
His breath—or was it his lips?—brushed the sensitive skin under her ear. With a conscious effort to gather her raging emotions, she pushed harder against his chest. He only allowed her a few inches and kept their bodies swaying to the music.
“What are you doing?” she whispered. “You don’t even like me.”
“I’m just trying to get an honest response,” he explained.
“You want honest? You took advantage of me. I was still half-asleep and—”
He laughed, a low, deep chuckle that stirred something in the pit of her stomach.
“If that’s what you need to believe.”
“I don’t need to believe anything.”
“And just a minute ago, when you thought I was going to kiss you—”
“I did not—”
“—you weren’t the least bit disappointed?”
“No.”
“So you did think I was going to kiss you.”
“I didn’t say that!” Exasperation raised her voice. “If you’d just let me finish.”
A hint of a smile played on his sensual lips. “By all means.”
“No, I did not think you were going…to…”
He’d lowered his head again. She pulled back; he followed, until their lips were a mere inch apart. “Do you now?”
“I…no.”
“Do you want me to?”
The seductive whisper made her shiver. Yes. “No.”
But she’d hesitated a fraction too long

Thanks so much for hosting me on the blog tour!
ReplyDeleteReaders: how long have you been reading romances?
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing the excerpt.
DeleteThe Colorado Trust series sounds really good. I've added it to my TBR list.
What is your favorite book in the series and why?
Of course I love them all...Joel and Britt were the first book I ever wrote (and then re-wrote 10yrs later)...but my favorite is the last one, Dare to Trust. There's something about Jordan...and I had a blast writing Sass and Rocky, because I we had a pet raccoon for one summer when I was a kid. :)
DeleteI enjoyed the excerpt. TY
ReplyDeleteI think I'll enjoy this book. Thank you brown_angel123at) yahoo)dotcom
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the excerpt, and make sure you enter the contest via the rafflecopter (if you haven't already). Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCool book and excerpt. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cali--good luck in the drawing!
DeleteLove, love, love these book covers! The colors really pop.
ReplyDeleteI started reading romance novels in college and then fell off. I started reading them again last year.
The romance genre has changed a lot since college. LOL! Mostly in a good way. So much variety, so little time to read all of the goodies.
Thanks so much, Skeeter! Yes, lots of changes. What's great about so much variety is there's something for everyone. I totally agree on the so little time. I don't get to read as much as I'd like.
DeleteThanks for coming by--have a great day!
A Park Ranger, huh? YUM.
ReplyDeleteYes, Joel is YUM. Hope you enjoy! :) Thanks for stopping by.
