The Ugly Stick Saloon series is back with the fine
folks
in Temptation, Texas. The good humour of Ladies' Night at
the bar is marred when Lucky Albright drives into town and
runs out of gas. She's hoping to ask for some work. By
accident both her truck and the new truck belonging to
Audrey Anderson, the bar owner, end up in a drainage ditch.
Not the start she'd hoped for....
BOOTS AND TWISTERS is light-hearted and can be read as a
standalone. Other characters from the series are present
but the story follows tall, jeans-clad Lucky and a couple
of cowboy brothers. Trent and Isaac Jameson inherited their
father's ranch and are trying to cope with the work
themselves, although Trent has an outside profession.
Grumbling about being short-handed, they are looking for a
ranch hand as they play poker in the Ugly Stick. The mob
of ladies behave differently after watching a male strip
lineup and the men are almost scared.
More than one person takes Lucky for a man, especially with
a Stetson hiding her hair. Trent's not attracted to a
former cheerleader in low-cut everything who smiles at him,
yet when he tries to steal a kiss from Lucky he finds
himself out of luck. This tomboy makes up her own mind.
Isaac is the one who offers the more-than-qualified Lucky a
job as ranch hand. She's determined to take the waitressing
job at the bar as well.
The brothers are far from easy partners. Trent wants to
sell the ranch, Isaac to keep it. Each of them finds the
new cowhand attractive, but will this be just another
source of division? Fit, leggy and muscled, Lucky in a
waitress outfit attracts admiration from bar rowdies;
another source of discord among the brothers.
Myla Jackson's latest outing is a seriously sexy and fun
read, with hardly a wasted word as events move fast and
characters crowd the pages. Not only that, but Temptation
gets a five-minute warning of a tornado a mile wide at its
base, and all chaos breaks loose. BOOTS AND TWISTERS
includes some good tips for surviving the destructive power
of a tornado, from this South Texas author with a ranching
background. If you like romances hot and fiery, with
humour and tough, sassy independent women, get set to move
to Texas.
SUMMARY
Two ranchers are about to get Lucky—in more ways than one. Ugly Stick Saloon, Book 7 Lucky Albright’s unlucky streak is so long and wide that
she’s been run out of one town and it looks like it may
happen again. When she finds herself out of money and out of gas in
Temptation, Texas, a part-time job from the kind owner of
the Ugly Stick Saloon gives her a glimmer of hope that this
time things will be different. Trent Jameson and Isaac Moore have always believed you make
your own luck, but a black cloud of disaster seems to hover
over their new hand. Under a tumbling stack of hay, Isaac
discovers what Lucky’s hiding beneath baggy clothes and a
tough exterior. Enough sexy curves to satisfy both men’s
appetites. But it isn’t long before Lucky’s history starts wreaking
havoc all over town. It’ll take a force of nature to help
the ranchers convince the law, the Garden Club—even Lucky
herself—that now is no time to hit the road. Warning: Hot cowboys meet hot cowgirl, and there’s a whole
lotta shakin’ goin’ on in Temptation. Get your
twist-and-shout on at the Ugly Stick Saloon!
