Romance Contemporary
Reese Hudson meant to destroy mementos from her last failed
relationship, not burn down an outhouse and incur the wrath
of a sexy park ranger. When the judge rejects her offer to
pay for the structure and sentences her to rebuild it—with
the hot ranger supervising—she embraces the challenge to
take control of her life. Park ranger Wade Baker wants nothing to do with the rich
city girl, no matter how tempting he finds her lush curves.
She’s too much like his ex-fiancée, and if he’s learned
anything, it’s that women like Reese don’t fit into his
world. And he sure as hell wants no part of her big city
life. Reese may not know a hammer from a screwdriver,
but she’s working hard to prove she’s not just some pampered
princess to be toyed with. And damn it if Wade doesn’t
admire her tenacious spirit. If only they got along half as
well outside the bedroom as they do in it, there might be a
chance for them after all…

I have to admit the tempo of the music is a key to movement. Beethoven's fifth is a great way to clean house to. I used to work as a custodian in a library.

fresh air and the little one's laughter! (Saundra Warren 12:16pm March 21, 2016)

Since I'm professional chamber musician, I do have to say that music is one of the most important parts of my life, and I'm extremely lucky that Wisconsin has the best classical music public radio station in the country (check it out: WPR.org, and click on the link for WERN). Having said that, I want you to know that I will be forwarding this posting to one of my best friends who, like me is a professional chamber musician, but who also happens to be the fiddler in one of the best local bluegrass bands in Madison!! Many thanks for the post, and for the contest!! (Lynn Rettig 1:02pm March 21, 2016)
Music helps me get motivated and doing things. It makes me feel alive and come alive! (Terri Rinko 1:33pm March 21, 2016)
I can't seem to do anything without listening to music, I love having something going on in the background but if it's a TV show or movie then I'll get distracted and watch instead of what I'm supposed to be doing LOL (Kelly Donovan 1:34pm March 21, 2016)
I love music. It makes my day better. Now when I am concentrating, I do not hear music in the background. So occasionally, I do nothing but listen to the music. (Phyllis Lamken 1:55pm March 21, 2016)
I grew up playing both violin and piano, and composed music reflecting my mood. As for productivity, I can't drive to Steppenwolf or I speed! It would be productive if I drove a race car though! hee, hee I drive to Mowtown quite well. I like to garden to any music. And to sleep I like various nature sounds to slip into sleep! (Betsy Pauzauskie 1:57pm March 21, 2016)
Classical music (Elois Lloyd 2:55pm March 21, 2016)
I have to have music on lightly in the background. The type changes from day to day though. (Nicole Kuiper 3:05pm March 21, 2016)
Old time rock and roll relaxes me and I can get more work done (Jeri Dickinson 3:05pm March 21, 2016)

Music really gets me going and moving! I love to listen to music when I am cleaning because it is upbeat and makes the boring and annoying tasks slightly more fun! (Lily Shah 4:00pm March 21, 2016)
I love listening to music, I hope to one day learn how to read and play the piano, guitar and drums. I always play music that's fits the mood that I'm in. One thing can't do is listen to music while doing my assignment for class and reading books it's a distraction. (Cassandra Hayes 4:07pm March 21, 2016)
I love working to music, but definitely see where you are coming from, with distraction (Bri Wignall 4:58pm March 21, 2016)
Since I am retired productivity and I live in different worlds but good music does brighten my world. My mood dictates the genre; some days it's the blues but maybe the next is cajun zydeco. Anyday is a good day for Elvis. (Nancy Sorrels 5:12pm March 21, 2016)

I love music, but I don't necessarily need it to be productive. Recently, I started listening to audiobooks where I had avoided them before. It's nice to be able to "read" and be productive at the same time, but I still prefer reading a book myself. In the end, it's caffeine first that gets me going and secondly, seeing progress. (Terrill Rosado 6:04pm March 21, 2016)
Getting/being really mad about something can really get me busy. Having my feelings hurt by someone will kill any desire to get anything done. (Lisa Downs 6:20pm March 21, 2016)
I'm a former voice major so music is very important to me. I've been singing since I was very little and when I was about 6 or so I used to think that in the summer, when the windows were open, a talent agent walking down the street would hear me and rush in our house to sign me as the next Shirley Temple. (Sandy Pochapin 6:56pm March 21, 2016)
I always workout to music. It makes the time go by faster! (Lori Raines 7:17pm March 21, 2016)
I make playlists for plot development, typically songs that beg to be included by creating pictures in my mind. As for actual writing, bring on the classical. I have a large Classical music playlist, it's what I play when I really get into the zone.
I use high energy stuff for the treadmill. I love guitar and banjo, so I'll have to try your bluegrass idea. Thanks for the tips. They are both generous and helpful. (Lonzine Lee 7:53pm March 21, 2016)
I need quiet when I write--sometimes my music choices just keep interfering. I wish I could work to music--I love listening and playing it. (Danielle Hammelef 8:00pm March 21, 2016)

I think music sometimes helps drown out other sounds that I would find annoying otherwise. (MaryAnne Banks 11:01pm March 21, 2016)

I know f I am doing housework or working out I get more done with fast old school rock (Def Leopard, Van Halen, Aerosmith) (Anita Miller 11:33pm March 21, 2016)
My grocery shopping goes faster with fast & upbeat music, And slower with the slower love songs. (Jolynn Rood 11:56pm March 21, 2016)

Thank you for letting not only USA to enter your giveaway. It nice to see a author who cares about her fans who aren't only from USA. (Emily Stemp 1:45pm March 22, 2016)
Music uplifts me, and I find it makes the most mundane chores go much faster. When my husband is out in the evening, I put on some classical music, which makes a perfect accompaniment to a good book. (Deb Philippon 2:07pm March 22, 2016)
I get more done when I'm listening to music. It can be loud while cleaning but I tone it down while reading. (Cheryl Hastings 4:17pm March 22, 2016)
I still like that old time rock and roll, it helps me get thru all my chores as I sing along (Jeri Dickinson 6:05pm March 22, 2016)
I've found that using the right *sort* of music makes a difference to ow good my production is-- the music needs to be appropriate to the material I'm writing. (Mary Ann Dimand 7:27pm March 22, 2016)
Strangely for someone who loves music I seldom listen to it while working, perhaps music is too important to me to have the distraction of work interfere. (John Turner 7:54pm March 22, 2016)
lol, Reese sounds like a woman after my own heart. I have been trying to deal with "separation anxiety" for quite a few years now. I was married to the love of my life (for 32 years), had 3 beautiful daughters (who are now in their 30's and finally pumping out grandkids), but as time went by, I grew up, but my husband didn't. He forgot that "sex, drugs and rock and roll" was our past routine and I finally had to cut the chord. It has now been 3 years (today as a matter of fact) since our divorce and I am still feeling like I am floundering. Maybe Reese has some answers for me...or, at least some distraction! (Melody Kaufman 9:21pm March 22, 2016)

Certain types of music makes housework easier, but I want silence while driving. (Anna Speed 1:13pm March 25, 2016)
Music changes my productivity. I'm online all day and while I'm working, sometimes I 'fall out'. Meaning, I dose off. But when I put on my headphones and play my favorite songs that NEVER happens.

We love music when doing house work. The book sounds interesting, thanks (Deb Pelletier 10:06pm March 25, 2016)
I noticed many years ago, the effect that music has on my productivity, attitude, and outlook. I used to listen to the radio when I was trying to get things done, but found that I stopped too often to change the station. (I'm a station changer in the car, too.) So I started listening to my records. I soon learned that the tempo, words, loudness, sentimentality, etc, all played a part in how much I accomplished. It's kind of funny, because a number of years ago I made a bunch of bluegrass CDs for my dad, and realized that I work really well with that music, but I had to play it only when I was the only one home. I learned that what works for me can drive others nuts, and what works for, say, one of my children, all adults now, can drive me nuts. Music is a very personal driver.
