Funny, sexy, and sure to appeal to the huge audience of
country music fans, this new trilogy features the Honky
Tonk beer joint and its succession of lovelorn owners.
Serving two counties, one wet and one dry, the Honky Tonk
is the gathering place for every hothead, thirsty rancher,
and lusty lady looking for a good time. Owner Daisy O'Dell
vows she'll run the place until they drag her cold dead
body through the swinging doors. That is, until the day
Jarod McElroy walks in, looking for a cold drink and a
moment's peace from his ornery Uncle Emmitt.
The minute
Jarod sees Daisy, with her hot looks and smart mouth; he
knows he's met not only his own match, but Uncle Emmitt's
as well. Now, if only he can convince her to come out from
behind that bar and come on home with him…
Good Morning everyone! Today is my first blog to kick off the brand spanking new Honky Tonk Series, with I Love This Bar. Let me hear your thoughts! Carolyn Brown (Carolyn Brown 7:55am June 3, 2010)
I loved the 'teaser'. Can't wait to read more. (Mary Preston 8:20am June 3, 2010)
If this as delightful as Getting Lucky, I can't wait! Blessings, Marjorie (Marjorie Carmony 8:36am June 3, 2010)
Carolyn what an amazing book. I loved your snippet from it what a way to meet- a bar slip. I would have been so embarassed I probably made a quick exit blushing! (Susan Lathen 9:07am June 3, 2010)
My first thought would be that it was definately a dream, because things like that don't happen to me!! lol Sounds like one screamin' hot book!! Can't wait to read it!! Great job, and good luck!! (Peggy Roberson 9:19am June 3, 2010)
Thanks for the comments ... and it could happen ... Daisy didn't think it would or could but it did and it sure put some kinks in her routine! Happy reading, Carolyn Brown (Carolyn Brown 9:39am June 3, 2010)
I would think, pinch me but not too hard. Is this for real? I like the part about her heart. It raced. I like the pacing in the exciting parts, the sentences are short as the action flies. (Alyson Widen 10:10am June 3, 2010)
Hot damn! :-) I'd be hooting and hollarin' if this foxy dude fell on me.
Sounds like a wonderful story, Carolyn. Can't wait to read it. (Carolyn Hughey 10:31am June 3, 2010)
Your book sounds intriguing. To answer your question, if I found myself flat on my back with Jarod on top, I would wrap my arms around his neck and give him a wild kiss, then get up and run for the hills:). (Robin McKay 10:34am June 3, 2010)
It looks like I have a new series to read this year. As for your question about Jarod on top of me on the dance floor, I would enjoy it. (Leni Kaye 11:16am June 3, 2010)
Loving your comments! That Jarod is one sexy chunk of eye candy, isn't it? Chigger, one of the quirky characters in the book, refers to him as sex-on-a-stick! Carolyn Brown (Carolyn Brown 11:22am June 3, 2010)
Cool, looks like a new series to pick up. I like the tight writing and the characters are intriguing. yummy!!!! (Valerie Bongards 11:35am June 3, 2010)
Carolyn, I loved the preview of I Love This Bar. I am looking forward to reading it and the rest of the series of books. If a hot looking man fell on top of me, I am so shy that I would behave like Daisy O'Dell did. (Cathy Phillips 11:47am June 3, 2010)
Sounds like a GREAT series and i think I'll go get one. I have yet to read your work but I will soon. (Vickie Hightower 11:51am June 3, 2010)
Gotta Love those Hot Rednecks! (Mary Lynn Hayes 11:55am June 3, 2010)
Hi Carolyn, Congrats on the new release and series. If a cowboy fell on top of me I would wonder how did I get so lucky. There aren't that many cowboys where I live. (Jane Cheung 1:37pm June 3, 2010)
Congrats on your book and series! Give me a cowboy anyday!!! :) (Colleen Conklin 1:41pm June 3, 2010)
I'm back again ... Love that you are all excited about a cowboy series! Carolyn Brown (Carolyn Brown 2:08pm June 3, 2010)
Congrats on your new series! I can't wait to read it! (Gail Hurt 3:37pm June 3, 2010)
This book sounds great! Going out tonight to get it! I have already marked when the others come out in my calendar. (Kelli Jo Calvert 4:00pm June 3, 2010)
I enjoyed the excerpt! It gave me a good laugh. Now I will have to read I LOVE THIS BAR to see what happens. Great job! (Rosemary Krejsa 5:01pm June 3, 2010)
Great excerpt! If a cowboy fell on me, I'd go soak in the nearest hot tub and then call up my chiropractor. Do I sound Californian or what? :) (S Tieh 5:38pm June 3, 2010)
I think if I happened to find myself under a yummy cowboy I'd forget the rest of the world and I'd be totally immersed in what it feels like to have his weight on me, what he smells like, what color his iris is ... (Sue Ahn 5:49pm June 3, 2010)
OMG! That's awesome! (Joelle Beebe 6:37pm June 3, 2010)
I love this idea. It is about time that someone did a series on some sexy rednecks. (Cindy Olp 6:41pm June 3, 2010)
Looking forward to reading the series. Davis, OK. I was born & raised in Stratford, OK. Small world. (Pat Wilson 6:58pm June 3, 2010)
Thanks for sharing!!! (Brandy Blake 6:59pm June 3, 2010)
This Texan has to read this series. Every book sounds terrific. Congratulations and I think your readers do to "hog wild" over your books. Who could blame them? (Gladys Paradowski 7:36pm June 3, 2010)
I love this bar - I love this book - want to read it! Please count me in! (Brenda Rupp 8:07pm June 3, 2010)
Hello Carolyn, Please enter me in your fantastic contest and please let me know when I am a winner too! May God bless you with success. Cecilia (Cecilia Dunbar Hernandez 8:15pm June 3, 2010)
I loved the preview and I love cowboy books. Cannot wait to read this one. I have enjoyed the books of yours that I have read and have several on my tbr. (Pat Lieberman 8:46pm June 3, 2010)
If I slipped and a cowboy like Jared landed on me, I think my first reaction would be, "Oof!", and my second one would be, "Hot Damn! I'm FINALLY getting lucky!"
Anyway, the excerpt was great, but even without it, I'd be putting this set on my To Be Bought list just because of the titles!!
Later,
Lynn (Lynn Rettig 8:47pm June 3, 2010)
I'm just wondering exactly what kinda bar has men with no shirts...my imagination is running WILD! Rawrs... (Marianna Gizzarelli 8:59pm June 3, 2010)

Looks like a fun read and I love the cover. Can't wait to read it. (Teresa Ward 11:02pm June 3, 2010)
I would be thanking my lucky stars if he fell on me! I would have taken my time to get up off the floor too!! (Barbara Hanson 5:12am June 4, 2010)
Wow, let me step into that bar and slip on some beer! (Joanne Reynolds 6:22am June 4, 2010)

Bless your hearts for continuing to leave comments for me! Jarod does have that affect on a woman ... Daisy sure had trouble resisting his southern twang and good looks! Carolyn Brown (Carolyn Brown 3:59pm June 4, 2010)
After being sure he wasn't married-- wondering if he carried protection and Yeehaw, was that a 3 cell flashlight in his pocket or what? (Lisa Richards 6:40pm June 4, 2010)
