Melissa Keir - Special Guest


Thank you for having me on your blog today. Cowboy Up 2 is a book bundle featuring best-selling Western Romance authors. There are six stories about sexy cowboys sure to entertain.

My novella- The Heartbroken Cowboy - begins at a wedding. Johnson O’Neill and Debra Donahue end up getting drunk as they each deal with the stress of the wedding in a different way. Since alcohol plays a big part in this book, I wanted to share with you my top five favorite drinks. You can weigh in on yours!



#5-Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire Whiskey- It doesn’t taste like alcohol but still has a wonderful kick!

#4-Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey- A shot of this has a sweet aftertaste and warms you up!

#3-Abita Strawberry Harvest Beer- Made in Louisiana, this beer is more fruit than beer. Since Louisiana is the place of Mardi Gras, they know how to celebrate and this beer is a celebration! 

#2-Pineapple Upside Down Cake shot- This shot is filled with flavor and causes a celebration in your mouth. Sweet and delicious!

#1-Pina Colada- When you drink one of these, you are transported to a tropical island. Besides the fruit in it is healthy *wink*!

What is your favorite drink and why?? Who knows, maybe we can find a new favorite!



Cowboy Up 2

Saddle Up with the best-selling authors who brought you Cowboy Up... And fall for Six more Cowboys ready to steal your heart!

Featuring:

Good Ride, Cowboy by Allison Merritt
Sometimes all you need is one good ride to clear your head.

Cowboy in Waiting by Leslie P. Garcia
She’d buried a hero. She wasn’t looking for another. But her cowboy in waiting was far from a hero…

The Heartbroken Cowboy by Melissa Keir
Love isn’t found at the bottom of a bottle…




The hero of The Heartbroken Cowboy has his own issues. He's a recovering alcoholic who allows stress to push him off the wagon. But he's still determined to latch on to the one woman whose secret could send him back to the bottle.

Johnson O'Neill was a minor character in The Heartsong Cowboy (Cowboy Up book 1) and while he came off as a grouchy guy, he deserved his own happily ever after...but not without some work. In The Heartbroken Cowboy, we learn why he's angry at women and cheer for him to find the one woman who will give him a run for his money!





The Heartbroken Cowboy by Melissa Keir


Love isn’t found at the bottom of a bottle…


Johnson O’Neill joined The Heartsong Ranch to escape his addiction. One night at a friend’s wedding, stress causes him to fall off the wagon and into the arms of the woman of his dreams.



Debra Donahue lost her husband to alcohol then pulled herself up by her bootstraps becoming a million-dollar selling real estate agent. One night with a sexy cowboy and a bottle of whiskey, Debra falls hard.



Can an alcoholic cowboy and a brokenhearted woman find love despite their fears? Or will the bottom of a bottle claim another happily ever after?



EXCERPT:


“I don’t drink, but could use a strong one, right now. Not this sissy stuff.” He lifted the glass to his lips, downed the contents, and shoved his now-empty champagne flute away before he leaned in toward her. The smell of alcohol on his breath hinted that he’d already had too much to drink. “Know anyone around here with some whiskey?” The dark sapphire of his eyes chilled her. This was a man used to getting what he wanted. “I’d even share.” His voice deepened and became husky with his offer and she shivered.


“I don’t drink with men I don’t know.” Debra stuck out her hand. “I’m Debra, and you are?”



The man grabbed another glass of champagne off a passing waiter’s tray and guzzled the drink in one swallow. “The name’s Johnson O’Neill. Now about that whiskey.” He reached out and drew her up to standing then tugged her in close to him. Wrapping his arm around her back, he moved her body in a slow two-step motion.



Debra gazed into his eyes. “You don’t have to seduce me for the whiskey.” She stepped out of his embrace and put her hands on her hips. She frowned.



“That’s not why I drew you into my arms. You were tapping your foot when I arrived—and I thought you might like a dance. A pretty woman like you shouldn’t be sitting alone.” He stretched his palm out again in a plea.

In college her writing changed to sarcastic musings on life as well as poems with a modern twist on fairy tales and won awards for her writing. You can find many of these musings along with her latest releases on her website and blog. Her stories feature small towns and happily ever after!

    1. Great to have you here with all those lovely cowboys, Melissa!

      Given the choice I'd only drink champagne LOL but as that's not going to happen any time soon I'll settle for cool, crisp white wine. :)
