Utopia Miner is tired of hunting gold and caring for her three adopted fathers. Living in a Rocky Mountain mining camp is holding up her dream of becoming a saloon girl. If only she could learn the essential skills of singing, dancing and kissing, she’d be on her way to a glamorous life. When Utopia discovers she’s the prize in her three fathers’ marrying scheme, she sees benefits in going along with the courting contest. She now has a kissing teacher. And wow, what a teacher. One starter kiss from Lance and her body’s sweating in places it never had before. Lancelot Jones wants to turn in his life-risking marshal’s badge for a much safer job as a reporter, but the newspaper wants articles as proof of his qualifications. When his editor sends him to a mining camp to get the scoop on a courtship contest, Lance discovers the privilege of covering the story hinges upon chaperoning the bride-to-be. He soon finds himself ensconced in Utopia’s innocent charms and demanding saloon girl lessons. In short order, chaperoning the bride-to-be becomes risky business.

My favorite genre is fantasy, because who doesn't want a little magic in their lives? (Lisa L. 11:38am November 7, 2015)
I've never read a humorous Romance novel. It would certainly make it somewhat interesting. Good for you! Thank You (Lorraine Bromley 8:50am November 14, 2015)
My favorite genre is science fiction, because of the make-me- go hmmm! ideas. But I do read anything and everything, and some of my favorite books are not science fiction. (Deb Philippon 10:37am November 14, 2015)
I have so many favorite genres. In no particular order:

Favorite genre? Urban Fantasy but in truth I read just about everything. It just depends upon my mood. (G. Bisbjerg 1:48am November 15, 2015)
My reading habits tend to go a bit all over the map as they say. I always love learning something, so when you came here today, I was jumping for joy!! To pick a favorite genre, how can you narrow down learning, when you have so many favorites?? I read Romance to Historical Romance to Biography to Historical. The main thing for me is that I love to learn something from reading. In between, I love to be entertained, when my reading load gets to heavy, and it tends to be heavy after a while. Your latest book sounds like a wonderful read, and I've put it on my TBR list. It should make great reading for my upcoming Fall/Winter reading. Thank you for coming today and letting us know about your latest book. I will also keep my eyes peeled for the rest of your series!! (Peggy Roberson 7:20am November 15, 2015)
