    Hot Cowboys, Proud Heroines @maryjdressel #western #romance #RLFblog

    Mary J. McCoy-Dressel found her niche when she began writing
    in the contemporary western romance genre. More books are on the horizon. She
    dabbles in the paranormal genre and has written two time-travel romance novels,
    which are now out of print.
    She lives in Michigan, U.S.A., and is a mom to two sons and
    a new daughter-in-law. Her career was in education working with children with
    learning disabilities and Title One programs—at the elementary and middle
    school levels. She’s taught creative writing for a college leisure program.
    Besides writing, Mary enjoys photography, reading, going to
    the opera, having dinner with friends, and traveling. Her dream came true when
    she retired and became a full-time writer. Her Double Feature today highlights
    two books from the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight.

    About Heartbreak’s Reward, #2

    Genre Contemporary western romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Rancher Jase
    Carlson doesn’t understand the ache in the hollow of his chest, since his
    ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn’t follow the court rules where
    his children are concerned, which makes him even more pissed off. Harboring a
    bad attitude, he wishes he wasn’t a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a
    quick-tempered, sexy blonde. He can’t allow her tight jeans and sweet smile to
    sway him, even after he’s coerced into spending time alone with her.
    Fighting the torturous battle going on within his own mind and body, he can
    either deal with it—or succumb to the woman who appears to be everything he
    didn’t know he needed.
    In an attempt to
    save her rebellious teen sister from herself—as her guardian, Brenna Page
    leaves everything behind and moves to Canyon Junction, Arizona. When she
    unexpectedly meets a hot-headed cowboy with intense blue eyes and muscles to
    die for, the first thing she wants to do is get away. Since she can’t seem to shake
    him, Brenna wonders if that same grudge-filled cowboy with an attitude is
    someone worth taking on. But still dealing with painful memories, and a sister
    who wants nothing to do with Arizona, the last thing she needs right now is a
    horse ranching cowboy interfering.
    One wrong turn.
    Two broken families. Brought together by chance and need.

    Genre Contemporary western romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Army Ranger Dane Carlson never means to fall in love before
    leaving for another tour of duty, but unexpectedly, he does. While deployed, he
    finds himself being sent home early to the family ranch to make a heartrending
    decision. Little does he know he isn’t the only one making decisions. His first
    priority is to rekindle the flame after losing communication with Gracelyn
    Clark. The woman who owns his heart and has since the moment their gaze
    connects. But, now nothing is the same as when they met.
    The first round of news is surprise enough, yet Gracelyn
    continues to release shocking information detrimental to their future. Can they
    make it work after so few days together seven months ago? Adjusting to many new
    things in his life isn’t easy as it is, so to pull himself back to the man he’s
    become could be the biggest test of all—in order to protect his own.
    Challenges abound even as Dane and Gracelyn come to terms
    with the decisions they’ve made. Whatever tomorrow brings, their only choice is
    acceptance—to take one day at a time and face life as it comes.

    Gentlemen Cowboys with a Touch of Bad @maryjdressel #RLFblog #cowboys

    Cowboy Boss and His Destiny 
    Early days of reading romance novels and women’s fiction laid
    the groundwork for Mary J McCoy-Dressel to take up the pen and write her own memorable love stories
    where love always wins. In her books, whether contemporary, historical, or paranormal,
    you can expect a twist and turn along the way, maybe a tear, a laugh, a bit of arousal,
    and even a little suspense. She loves to write stories with strong family ties,
    lasting friendships, and gentlemen heroes with a touch of bad, with feisty women
    who know how to handle them.
    She lives in the Great Lake Basin area of the USA. Two grown
    sons and an Australian Shepherd fur-baby dog complete her family. Mary loves communicating
    with readers and friends. She also has a mailing list for readers who want to be
    notified of new releases and important book updates. Visit her website for more
    information. Mary is a member of Romance Writers of America.

    Cowboy Boss and his Destiny

    (Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight #1)
    Genre Contemporary Western Romance
    Author Mary J. McCoy-Dressel
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings G, PG, PG13, R): R
    The Lighter side of romance but still sensual and sexy. Warm
    your heart and give your nerve endings a tingle at the same time.
    Tristan Carlson does the best he can to raise his four-year-old
    daughter on his own. His mother remains on the Double Dutch to lend a hand—giving
    him the ability to maintain the ranch, tend to his horses, and keep up his small-time
    ranching magazine. His attractive, new assistant is everything he wants in a woman,
    including her ginger-red hair. But from his experience with women lately, he’s learned
    that some don’t want a ready-made family. This one seems different, and he’s falling
    hard. But, there’s his little blue-eyed girl, and he’ll protect Destiny’s heart
    with everything within him. Until he knows for sure…
    Living the good life in a big city for many years, Nora Trinity
    ends up a statistic after the magazine she works for makes cutbacks. Despite a family
    betrayal from her past that still needs mending, she moves back home to the small
    town of Canyon Junction, Arizona, with forgiveness on her mind. When she is hired
    by a local rancher to help with his ranching magazine, she finds herself profoundly
    attracted to him. The thing is, her sexy boss comes as a package deal, and his little
    girl is immediately drawn to her. It’s not just about two hearts taking a chance
    now—or two people falling in love…
