Thank you for having me on your blog today, Dariel.
Cowboy Up 2 is a book bundle featuring best-selling Western Romance authors.
There are six stories about sexy cowboys sure to entertain.
My novella- The Heartbroken Cowboy- begins at a
wedding. Johnson O’Neill and Debra Donahue end up getting drunk as they each
deal with the stress of the wedding in a different way. Since alcohol plays a
big part in this book, I wanted to share with you my top five favorite drinks.
You can weigh in on yours!
#5-Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire Whiskey- It doesn’t
taste like alcohol but still has a wonderful kick!
#4-Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey- A shot of this has a
sweet aftertaste and warms you up!
#3-Abita Strawberry Harvest Beer- Made in Louisiana,
this beer is more fruit than beer. Since Louisiana is the place of Mardi Gras,
they know how to celebrate and this beer is a celebration!
#2-Pineapple Upside Down Cake shot- This shot is
filled with flavor and causes a celebration in your mouth. Sweet and delicious!
#1-Pina Colada- When you drink one of these, you are
transported to a tropical island. Besides the fruit in it is healthy *wink*!
What is your favorite drink and why?? Who knows,
maybe we can find a new favorite!

life-Border Patrol Agents, Equine Therapists, Farmers... Cowboy Up 2 features

The hero of The Heartbroken Cowboy has his own issues. He's a
recovering alcoholic who allows stress to push him off the wagon. But he's
still determined to latch on to the one woman whose secret could send him back
to the bottle.
Johnson O'Neill was a minor character in The Heartsong Cowboy
(Cowboy Up book 1) and while he came off as a grouchy guy, he deserved his own
happily ever after...but not without some work. In The Heartbroken Cowboy, we
learn why he's angry at women and cheer for him to find the one woman who will
give him a run for his money! See excerpt below...

Love isn’t found at the bottom of a bottle…
Love isn’t found at the bottom of a bottle…
Johnson O’Neill joined The
Heartsong Ranch to escape his addiction. One night at a friend’s wedding,
stress causes him to fall off the wagon and into the arms of the woman of his
dreams.
Debra Donahue lost her
husband to alcohol then pulled herself up by her bootstraps becoming a
million-dollar selling real estate agent. One night with a sexy cowboy and a
bottle of whiskey, Debra falls hard.
Can an alcoholic cowboy
and a brokenhearted woman find love despite their fears? Or will the bottom of
a bottle claim another happily ever after?
EXCERPT:
“I don’t drink, but could use a strong one, right now. Not this sissy stuff.” He lifted the glass to his lips, downed the contents, and shoved his now-empty champagne flute away before he leaned in toward her. The smell of alcohol on his breath hinted that he’d already had too much to drink. “Know anyone around here with some whiskey?” The dark sapphire of his eyes chilled her. This was a man used to getting what he wanted. “I’d even share.” His voice deepened and became husky with his offer and she shivered.

“I don’t drink with men I
don’t know.” Debra stuck out her hand. “I’m Debra, and you are?”
The man grabbed another
glass of champagne off a passing waiter’s tray and guzzled the drink in one
swallow. “The name’s Johnson O’Neill. Now about that whiskey.” He reached out
and drew her up to standing then tugged her in close to him. Wrapping his arm
around her back, he moved her body in a slow two-step motion.
Debra gazed into his eyes.
“You don’t have to seduce me for the whiskey.” She stepped out of his embrace
and put her hands on her hips. She frowned.
“That’s not why I drew you
into my arms. You were tapping your foot when I arrived—and I thought you might
like a dance. A pretty woman like you shouldn’t be sitting alone.” He stretched
his palm out again in a plea.
About the Author:
Melissa Keir has always wanted to be an
author when she wasn’t hoping for a career as a race car driver. Her love
of books was instilled by her mother and grandparents who were avid readers.
She’d often sneak books away from them so that she could fantasize about those
strong alpha males and plucky heroines. In middle school and high school,
Melissa used to write sappy love poems and shared them with her friends and
still has those poems today! In college her writing changed to sarcastic
musings on life as well as poems with a modern twist on fairy tales and won
awards for her writing. You can find many of these musings along with her
latest releases on her website and blog. Her stories feature small towns and
happily ever after!
