I'm so excited to be a guest blogger at Fresh Fiction today. This year is going to be huge for me with three books releasing from Sourcebooks: DYLAN and JESSE, the 2nd and 3rd books in The Secret Life of Cowboys series, and A WEDDING IN PURITY, the 1st book in my new Small Town USA series.

But instead of me talking, why don't I let you read an excerpt for DYLAN?

Dylan Garahan narrowed his gaze trying to focus in the glare of the spotlight, searching the crowd for her face. It was time for the big move in his act...the show-stopper. Where was she?

Jolene would kill him if he messed this up, but he'd made it through the last two nights and would make it through tonight. The redheaded owner of the club should have no complaints about the middle Garahan brother not keeping his word or holding up his end of the bargain. Damn the woman and her tests!

Controlling the urge to turn on his heel and walk off the stage, he dug deep and found the grit to stick it out. Hell, if Tyler could handle this job, so could he. Garahans went down fighting!

Oblivious to the adoring gazes of the women around him, he moved toward center stage, bent, and picked up the coiled rope. He looked up as a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead walked into the bar...right on schedule... but there was something different about the brunette. Maybe it was the blindfold. He struggled not to laugh, but he couldn't keep from smiling, wondering why the cloak-and-dagger bit.

Looping the lasso in his hands, he started the slow circular motion. Getting the rhythm going until it was smooth and sweet, he raised it above his head and locked gazes with the blonde. When she nodded, he let the lasso fly, as the blonde whipped the blindfold off the brunette.

The woman's stunned expression as the rope slipped around her upper body didn't stop him from tugging on the rope and reeling her in. The patrons of the Lucky Star hooted and hollered, encouraging him to pull faster, but he didn't want the little lady to trip and fall on her pretty face.

Glad that the focus of the crowd wasn't totally on him, he gently pulled her toward him. The brunette's gypsy-dark skin, full red lips, and almond-shaped eyes captivated him. The promise of pain-filled death in her dark green eyes, as she struggled against the bonds that held her, had his lips twitching, fighting not to smile.

She dug in her heels, but he used his strength to subdue her. Undeterred, he yanked on the rope. When her eyes widened in shock, he used her surprise to his advantage and reeled her in the last few feet. When they were a few inches apart, he tipped his hat, smiled, and rumbled, "Happy birthday, darlin'."

Her eyes narrowed, and her nostrils flared; Dylan recognized the signs of a fractious filly about to raise a ruckus. Not a problem, he was ready. Wrapping his free hand around her, he hauled her in close, pinning her to him before she could let loose and kick him.

The crowd roared its approval.

"Let me go," she demanded, her sweet breath tickling the hollow of his throat.

Enjoying himself for the first time since he'd hit the stage, he chuckled and bent his head closer to her full red lips. "Why?" His gaze locked with hers. "So you can have more room to do more damage?"

"I don't like being manhandled."

Her vehement protest didn't deter him; he had a job to do and an act to finish. "Well now, darlin'," he drawled, "that's not what your friends said."

Her eyes sparkled with temper, and her willowy body trembled with anger. Dylan's body stood up and said hell yeah! It'd been a long time since he'd had a woman tempt him. The sultry brunette in his arms looked like she wanted to tear a few strips off of his hide...right before she killed him.

Damn, but that turned him on.

Don't you just love a cowboy when he's been knocked flat by a female he just can't resist? Dylan and Ronnie are in for the ride of their lives with sparks flying and tempers simmering.

I know some people do better with the visual, so check out the totally fabulous video COS Productions created for me.

Here's what reviewers are saying:

"In DYLAN, book two of The Secret Life of Cowboys trilogy Admirand gives her readers what they want; hot, sexy Texan cowboys who know what they want and go after it with both hands, sprinkled with love scenes spicy enough to leave them 'hornier than a three-peckered goat'." Fresh Fiction, Diana Troldahl

"Admirand does an excellent job of setting the scene with her amazing flair for scenery and description."4 ½ Stars /Hot -  RT BookReviews, B. Nakia Garner

"This tale has a terrific cast of quirky secondary characters. Combine them with the author's wacky sense of humor and you are in for one crazy ride." 4 Stars, Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"If you want a story that's got heat, heart and a little mystery to keep you guessing, then you need to read Dylan." 4 Books-Spicy - Nymphaea Long and Short Reviews

"I have to recommend this book as it has a multi-dimensional plot and kept my interest." 4.25 - Terri, Night Owl Reviews

DYLAN BY C.H. ADMIRAND – IN STORES JANUARY 2012

There was nothing he couldn't tame...

Dylan Garahan might be an old hand at lassoing fillies, but one night at the Lucky Star club, and he ends up wrapping his rope around someone that even his formidable strength can't tame. She's wily and beautiful... and she's his new boss. Dylan's had his heart broken bfore, but even an honest cowpoke has to wrestle with temptation...

Until he got his lasso around her...

Ronnie DelVecchio might be fresh off the bus from New Jersey, but she's a hard-edged businesswoman and has had her fill of men she can't trust—although she might consider getting off her high horse for that big handsome rancher with a Texas drawl.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

If I was that brunette with a lasso around me I would want to kill the cowboy and my friends that set me up!
(Kathleen Bianchi 8:57am January 15, 2012)

I absolutely loved Tyler's book and I am now looking forward to read Dylan's story. C.H. was the best new author that I discovered last year when it comes to cowboy stories.

Great excerpt. Can't wait to read the book to see what happens

Love the cover for Dylan and watched the video which is colorful and cool. I was hooked on Carolyn Brown's cowboy books and glad I found you today, so I have another author for my favorite genre to read! I'm going to get Tyler and start the series out from the beginning. I'm in heaven and can't wait to get started! Thanks for the contest (keeping my fingers crossed for this one...my birthday's tomorrow), and I want to read all about the "birthday girl" named, Ronnie!

Hi Jennifer - I'm so glad you think so. It's been hard to say goodbye to my Texas cowboys for the next little while to write my new Small Town USA series set in Purity, Ohio.

Thanks for visiting!

Hi C.H.! Loved the excerpt! Dylan sounds like a hot cowboy that knows what he wants and goes after it.

Yep. I like cowboys in stories and in person. I dated a guy who was into barrel racing (going with a pony around a barrel) and watched several polo matches. Thanks for writing about a cowboy I want to meet.

Fantastic excerpt! I was lassoed @ school my freshman yr out in the middle of the open lunch area and I thought I was gonna kill me a cowboy (lol). I do know one thing though, there sure wasn't all the Hot & Steamy going on, he just wanted to know my name. My temper scared him off though. I guess I needed one of your cowboys. Can't wait to read another one of your Fabulous reads. Keep writing, I Will keep reading. Thank You. Margie @ [email protected]
