Romance Contemporary

There seems to be a country song for every mood or problem - - or at least that's what spending time at the Honky Tonk makes you believe. Even newcomers to the bar or country music get caught up in the messages in the songs played nightly from the two jukeboxes. Larissa Morley is the latest owner/barmaid at Honky Tonk -- the place to go for a good time. The place has a lot going for it, not the least of which is the belief that each owner is fated to meet the cowboy of her dreams. Heck it worked that way for the past two owners. The last thing Larissa was looking for was a cowboy, she wasn't even looking for a man. What she was looking for she found in Mingus -- a place she could call home. Her former life wasn't anyone's business. She kept her true identity hidden so it couldn't threaten the new life she discovered with the help of a push pin and a map. Kind of daring to start a new life on a whim, but Larissa is that kind of gal-- independent, gutsy, and driven. Her first encounter with Hank Wells wasn't exactly one dreams are made of. While there was no denying that there was something about Hank, Larissa had a niggling feeling that he wasn't what he seemed to be. Sure, he had roots in Mingus, but he was obviously more at home in Dallas. He as closemouthed about his life as Larissa, and she didn't understand why. Though she was truly attracted to Hank, he made her self-defense alert blare. Little does she know that Hank does have an ulterior motive for being in Mingus. He is puzzled by his inability to gather any information about the current owner of the Honky Tonk. While each one is busy ferreting out information on the other, they decide to enjoy their time together. For Hank, spending time with Larissa is becoming more difficult. His plan never included developing any kind of feelings for her. He is increasingly worried that, once his real reason for being in Mingus is revealed, Larissa is going to be mad enough to skin him alive. The newest story based on the people who live in this little town and socially connect through this Honky Tonk is packed with snappy dialog, salty language, and little twists that make it an immensely enjoyable book. No need to read them all, but you would definitely be remiss if you didn't. Carolyn Brown simply has a way with words. Hell Yeah, come along for the fun.
