Top 10 Reasons to Love a Cowboy @authorkristina #RLFblog
What a Texas Girl Needs Today’s guest post is by author Kristina Knight.—I’ve been a fan of the Cowboys (the football team and the real-life
guys) for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching cowboy movies with my grandfather
and reading Louis L’Amour books once my brother was done with them. I was just a
leeetle bit of a tom-boy. But the reason I loved those old movies and books were
the romantic cowboys themselves – the guys who loved their land and stood up for
what they believed in.I always wanted to meet one of those Old West Cowboys.Without further ado, here are my Top 10 Reasons to Love Cowboys:10. They look good in hats. Cowboys don’t just wear hats for
the fashion statement, hats are a protection from the cold, heat and other weather.
But it takes the right guy to look good in a hat.9. They’re honest. Sometimes to a fault. Cowboys don’t temper
their arguments. Cowboys don’t compromise. They see the world as black and white…and
that is kind of refreshing.8. They’re committed. Whether it’s to the land they love or the
women, cowboys are committed.7. They know how to have fun. Camping under the stars, dancing
at a honky-tonk or just watching a movie at home, cowboys know what they like. And
what they like is fun.6. They stand up for what they believe in. This goes back to
Reason #8 – cowboys have a strong belief system and they stand up for it every day.5. Cowboys look good in Wranglers. Or Levis. Enough said.4. Those grins! Cowboys, in my experience, have a wicked sense
of humor. And no one is immune.3. They know how to drive and ride. Whether it’s a big, black
truck or a big, black horse, cowboys are in charge.2. They’re romantic. No, they may not bring flowers home every
night but a cowboy will never leave his lady wondering where she stands with him.1. They’re a symbol – of what we all want. Cowboys know who they
are, what they want and what they’re willing to do to get that thing. Isn’t that
what we all want?In What a Texas Girl Needs, Mat has a secret that may ruin his
life as a cowboy. . .but it’s a secret he doesn’t know if he can share with Vanessa,
even though he loves her. In What a Texas Girl Dreams, Trick knows exactly what
he wants – Monica Witte – and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win her heart.
Both books are on sale for 99 cents for a limited time – grab your copies before
its too late!(buy links/blurbs/excerpts in separate file)What a Texas
Girl NeedsBlurb:Vanessa Witte is ready to finally claim her life. The middle
of three daughters born into the Witte family – a powerful Texas name – she’s been content to float through
life. Being dumped by her shady ex? A blessing in disguise. Having a one-night-stand
with Matias Barnes? Not one of her more stellar moments. But she’s back in Lockhardt
with a secret and a reason to start fresh: A baby.Matias Barnes knows all about society women – it’s part of the
reason he left his wealthy family behind and took a job on a ranch. He doesn’t like
the endless string of parties, the inane conversation, or the gold-digging tricks
those women have perfected. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting Vanessa Witte.
Mat knows she’s so not right for him, but with her back in Lockhardt, can he resist
her charms long enough to really let her go?Buy Links:

Girl DreamsMonica Witte has life the way she likes it. She comes home to
be babied every few months and the rest of the time she has no strings holding her
back. But after her horse is injured in a rodeo performance, Monica knows it’s time
to come home and face her family – warts and all.Trickett Samuels works best on his own. The large-animal vet
likes his quiet life in the Texas
countryside. When Monica Witte blows into town, demanding a quick fix to her horse’s
big issues, his life is turned upside down. Trickett doesn’t understand Monica’s
need to perform before perfect strangers or why she wants to keep the truth of their
relationship from her family. And the more he gets to know her, the more he wonders
if he can convince this Texas
girl that having roots will only help her soar higher.Buy Links:Amazon http://amzn.com/B00CMVAKUKBarnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-a-texas-girl-dreams-kristina-knight/1115399006?ean=9781440555732iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/what-a-texas-girl-dreams/id644572360?mt=11About the Author

A Little Mysterious Elodie Parkes, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Tell us
about your book, A little Mysterious.Book: A Little MysteriousPublisher: Evernight PublishingGenre: Vampire Romance‘A Little Mysterious’ my November 27 release with Evernight Publishing
was inspired black swans and a man I met in my work. I say met, but it was a fleeting
meeting. I don’t even know his name. The black swan idea has been with me since
I went to Australia on holiday
and saw them, flocks of them swimming in the edge of the ocean in a place near Melbourne. There was also a
tame one that lived on the pond where I was renting a holiday house in Perth.The man who inspired Dhruv, my alpha male in ‘A Little Mysterious’
came into the antique shop where I work. He was gorgeous, so polite, and cool, that
I went to the window so I could secretly watch him walk away down the street.A Little MysteriousHe’d been sent off course…he thought he was lost…until he found
Daisy.His vampire abilities were special. He belonged to an elite group.
Moving home, they are set off course by a storm that lands Dhruv alone, hungry,
and desperate in a strange town.A story of lust, love, and coincidence.Interview with Dhruv and Daisy
Daisy, would you like
to tell the readers about how you and Dhruv met?Daisy: We met on the high street in the café I worked in didn’t
we Dhruv?Dhruv: We did formally meet then, although I took a while to
sat much to Daisy. I liked her as soon as I saw her. That was before we actually
met. I’d seen her around shall we say. I don’t want to give spoilers.Daisy: That’s true, but I wanted you right away. I could hardly
take my eyes off you. When I went up the back of the café and cleared the tables,
I used to stare at you.Dhruv: You did more than stare you sighed over me. I knew it.
I could sense it. I could feel your need and it fuelled mine.He leans across and kisses Daisy, then keeps hold of her hand.Dhruv, Can you describe
when you first knew you were in love with Daisy?Dhruv: You know, I’m sorry but I can’t. It was weird for me.
I couldn’t admit it to myself. I think Daisy loved me right away. Did you Daisy?Daisy: I knew I wanted to make love with you, but I felt such
a strong attraction to you I think I might have loved you right away. Then I knew
the first time we made love, it was sex that turned into making love. For me anyway.
Although I liked him the moment I saw him, in the cafe doorway. I wanted those arms
around me right away.She leans across and kisses
him this time .I better ask another question since now they are starting to get
a little heated.What’s one thing you might
have changed about your story?Daisy: Nothing, since it’s the real story. Although I’ve never
been happy with my name, and that I’m not very tall, Dhruv can tuck me under his
arm. Although things are a little different now since we really got together, but
I can’t tell you that. It would be a spoiler.Dhruv: That’s so sexy Daisy, that I can pick you up and cuddle
you into my body. You’re beautiful the way you are.As for me changing the story, more sex, although there’s loads,
I’m addicted to Daisy now and I find it hard to keep my hands off her. I might have
said a little more about our lives after we got together, but that might be better
in another book.Dhruv, tell us something
about Daisy, how would you describe her in a few words?Dhruv: She’s very pretty, slender, intelligent. I think she’s
kind and generous, and she treats people really well. She’s brave too. She likes
the countryside and water. Starts to laugh and hugs Daisy.Daisy, describe Dhruv
in a few words.Very sexy, giving, clever, thoughtful, a great lover, knows what
he wants or needs to do and goes for it. He’s very creative, and talented artistically.So what’s hot about the
story?Dhruv: The steam rises from the love scenes. I think the way
Daisy responds to me.Daisy: I think it’s the way you talk dirty to me.Dhruv: Do I?Buy links:
