I was watching the live stream of Rodeo Houston yesterday so I definitely have cowboys on the brain and have decided to pull six sentences from Kissing Cowboys. With any luck I’ll be back to writing Buckle Down this week and can have more from that story for you next week.

I’m including the picture I used to model Jacob after in this story.

My First Six from Kissing Cowboys:

“Damn it, Jacob, don’t look at me like that.” JT sat in the dirt, covered with dust. His ankle throbbed. Without even trying to put weight on his foot, he knew his leg was jacked up. “Fuck.”

Jacob Cordero stood propped against the fence, watching him with the beginning of an I-told-you-so grin tugging at his lips.

Things have been really slow on the writing front. The day job has been keeping me super busy but I hope to get back to my yummy cowboys soon. So today I’m going to bring you my six from my most recent release, Old School. Enjoy!

My Slightly More Than Six:

“This place sure hasn’t changed much.”

Levi glanced at Jack. “I think that’s the point. There’s something to be said for the saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.”

“There have been a few changes.” Both Jack and he turned in the direction of Erin’s voice.

If Levi lived to be an old man spending his afternoon sitting in a rocker rambling on about the past, he’d never forget the sight in front of him each and every time. Erin stood in the doorway in a fucking schoolgirl uniform. And not your everyday garden- variety uniform. Oh no. This had to have come straight from Strippers ’R’ Us.

But first a picture of my latest obsession, Garrett Hedlund from Country Strong.

My Six:

Despite every warning sounding through his head, Dane grabbed the younger man by the nape and slanted his mouth over the most delectable lips he’d ever seen. Tyler groaned in response and opened to Dane’s kiss.

The minute Dane got a taste of the man he craved, all his good intentions fled. Hot lust swept through every fired up cell he possessed. An out of control animalistic need roared to life, promising them both a night not to be forgotten. With tongues tangling Dane could hardly think straight. His dick turned rock hard and painful confined in his jeans, while his fingers grabbed onto handfuls of Tyler’s golden hair.

When I sat down to watch this movie I knew absolutely nothing about it beyond what I had seen in the movie trailers and the noticeably absent mention of this movie in any way on Twitter. I figured either it was bad or no one wanted to see it but I made sure not to look up reviews on it because I didn’t want my impression to be clouded.

See the trailer HERE.

A week after I’ve seen the movie and I still don’t think I can tell you whether I thought it was good or bad. There was a hot cast of characters, fun country music, cliches galore, the sexiest male performance I’ve seen in a very long time, plot holes to leave you frustrated and the most messed up set of characters to make you laugh, cry and cringe.

As a writer I did enjoy the messy realism these characters portrayed on screen. I found myself saying more than once “my editor would never let me get away with that.” LOL Still, I got invested in these very flawed characters and was enjoying the movie quite a bit until the end. (I’d think this says a lot about the quality of the acting in this movie despite the script flaws) This might be too spoilery for some but I can’t not say it. The ending sucked bad.

I am at heart a romance writer and crave a happy ending or at least the alluding to one. From the movie trailers this movie looked like a great come-back story. It’s not. I won’t say exactly what happens but many of you can guess. Maybe if I’d had an inkling to how this movie would turn out I wouldn’t be so upset, but I left the theater stunned and stayed that way for quite a while.

I made myself think about it and from a writers perspective the ending made sense to me. Not to mention when you make the kinds of life altering mistakes these characters did it’s only right to show the consequences. We all know life is messy and often not pretty. Bad things happen and many books and movies push a happy ending over logic all the time. But I also know that when your gut tells you that you have to write that hard emotional ending, you’d better come to the table expecting a lot of people to not be happy about it.

In the end, I absolutely do not regret seeing it. Had I not gone I would have missed the absolutely amazing breakout performance by Garrett Hedlund who I’d never even heard of. Had I not seen it I would have not been inspired by this man for a whole new story. Hell, he might serve as writing inspiration for quite some time.

My Favorite line in the movie:

“Love and fame can’t live together.”

The bottom line for me is that when it comes out on video I will be watching it again and maybe again. At least now I know how it ends so I can go in expecting it.

This week’s six is more from that story. Of course after this brief break for a hot football guy, since I think most of the country is gearing up for the Superbowl tonight.

“Where to now?” Tyler fastened his seat buckle and adjusted his hat against the setting sun.

One glance at Tyler’s steady blue eyes and Dane lost his train of thought. How about straight to bed? Dane recoiled at the voice in his head. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel until his knuckles went white. Thank God he’d had the foresight not to say that out loud. Despite the slippery slope of his thoughts, there wasn’t much else he could do to stall the inevitable.

The last couple of days of writing these two have been busy sexoring it up, so I’m going to give you a teeny peek at what they are up to.

My six:

Leaning in, Dane kissed the edge of Tyler’s jaw until their chests heaved.

“Take of your pants, Sheriff. Let me have your dick.” He squeezed Dane’s erection, earning a hiss from the pleasure.

“Stop calling me Sheriff.”

Tyler opened his mouth to respond and quickly shut it. He must have decided the argument wasn’t worth the effort.

“Ok, Dane.”

Yes, I am a Six Sunday Tease.

So… Let’s get to it.

Erin stared down at last night’s receipts and ground her teeth in frustration. She wasn’t just fucked, she was royally fucked. How two grown men acting like a couple of idiotic adolescents for about thirty seconds could ruin a good thing, she’d never understand. For twelve days, five hours and—she glanced at her watch—forty-three minutes her bar had been off limits to all active duty military personnel and her gross income had dropped sixty-nine percent.

She jammed her pencil behind her ear and reached for a fresh cherry lollipop. Times of stress called for sugar and something to stuff in her mouth before she went on a rant to anyone within hearing distance that would likely scorch their sensibilities.

This week’s edition is from my current WIP Buckle Down, which is a follow up story to Cowboy Crush.

When the crowd on the dance floor shifted, Dane caught site of a familiar figure. He inwardly groaned. Definitely not what he needed tonight. He could have looked away, found something else to occupy his mind, but he didn’t. Instead he studied his nemesis, who currently stood bent over the pool table considering his shot. Tonight he’d left his shoulder length black hair free and it fanned over his face in a seductive sway. Dane couldn’t see his eyes but he didn’t need to. The ocean blue intensity of them was impossible to forget. The man had bedroom eyes down to a science and every woman in town panted after him.

Control is his… Until she runs.

Fresh out of bootcamp, Jamie wants nothing more than the weekend fling Dom promised her so many weeks ago. She can’t get the delicious image of what they did in the heat of passion out of her head. What better way to get over it than two glorious days of sex, sex and more sex?

Dom watches Jamie out on the parade deck with certain regret. Going to her now would only lead to disaster. One forbidden night together had ignited a firestorm of need he’d never expected, or had time for. Not to mention a dark side he’d sworn to keep hidden. Better to let her go now than deal with any recriminations from her later. If only he could follow the rules…

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, sex on the rough side and is an erotica title not romance.
