Ménage a Blog: Flirting With Cowboys

Pardon me while I unfold my fan ...

Oh, really, have you seen the handsome men about?  <sigh>  Broad, brawny shoulders, chaps on muscular <fans self> thighs, and scuffed boots with spurs.  Lawsy!!!

Of course, as a true lady, you know I've never seen washboard abs, um, I mean a man's unclothed chest, but a girl can dream.   Oh, yes, a girl can dream.  Makes my heart go a'flutter!

We've been flirting all week with the fine ladies and gents wha are participating in Ménage a Blog.  The whole idea is to get as many comments as possible by flirting.  Yes, I said flirting. Merriam-Webster defines flirting as: to behave amorously without serious intent.  Oh, but sugar, I do seriously intend for one of my commenters to win a Kindle. (More on that later.)

But I think the best way to flirt is to give something away, don't you think?  Something you've never given away before.  Something you'd never dream of giving to someone who wasn't really special...

<giggle> More about that later, too.

You might have already visited the other two flirtatious belles who share my, er, ménage.

One is the Queen of Sizzle, Miss Eden Baylee.  Oh, sweetheart, I swan, you'd better have a tall glass of sweet tea with lots of ice in it before you read Miss Baylee's Fall Into Winter.  I'll have my smelling salts ready!  I'm telling you, that book is so hot you have to have asbestos mittens to hold it, and you'd best be perched on a block of ice when you read it.


For the ladies . . .

And the other flirtatious belle is the Queen of Wild Rides, Miss Theresa Ragan.  Oh my  stars!!! Have you read Finding Kate Huntley?  Because if you're not out of breath, you haven't.  The gents will all be in love with Kate Huntley and we ladies are absolutely palpitating over Jack Coffey.  And when they're together, watch out!  Bullets fly, sparks fly, kittens fly . . . <giggle> I made that last part up.

Ahem.  About Much Ado About Marshals, some people have said some ever so nice things about it. 

Ann Charles, author of Optical Delusions in Deadwood wrote, "Full of laughs, sexy scenes, and exciting adventures, this book is like a fun romp through the Old West. . . Jacquie Rogers knows how to entertain!"

Another blurb: "Cole had me by the heart as soon as he described Daisy's eyes. I won't give it away here, but, wow. Totally sigh worthy." That's from Amber Scott, who's on the Menage-a-Blog tour so go to her site and comment to win a copy of Fierce Dawn.  (You'll be glad you did!)

From Judith Laik, author of The Lady Is Mine, "A spunky would-be lady detective and an accidental bank robber keep the mayhem and the laughter coming in this sparkling Western romance."

FIVE STARS! Special thanks to my sponsor for this week's Menage-a-Blog, Detra Fitch, lead reviewer of Huntress Reviews. 
She said: "Author Jacquie Rogers penned a fabulous historical romance and then inserted her own brand of wackiness. As a result, this story quickly grabbed me by the throat, kept me reading long past my bed time, and earned a place of honor upon my Keeper Shelf. Unforgettable! I cannot recommend this title highly enough."

I am also beholden to some other wonderful reviewers:

From Augusto Pinaud: "This is a fun story... Should read!"

From Taylor Lee Writes: "Nancy Drew meets William Shakespeare."
Also thanks to My Eclectic Bookshelf and the uber-talented Caroline Clemmons. (She writes the most delicious western historical romances!)
