#RomanticIdea by @BarbaraWDaille and #Excerpt from Cowboy in Charge


Summer #RomanticIdea –Tina Gayle blog - Barbara White Daille CIC 7-19-16





Tina – thank you so much for hosting me at your blog today.



And Readers - thank you for stopping by to visit.



I’m especially honored to be here because Tina is the originator of this Summer #RomanticIdea event!   


Here’s my suggestion for a romantic idea to enjoy:

As I love chocolate, any idea that involves the sweet treat is something I can really get behind. J My recommendation is to buy a box of your significant other’s favorite chocolate (or other candy) and present it to him or her along with the following plan: you each eat one piece of chocolate and then, to work off the calories, take a walk in the park. Do this on a romantic moonlit night, and you never know what might happen!




Excerpt from Cowboy in Charge



Jason and Layne’s reunion is as rocky as their past relationship. Though this snippet from their story doesn’t include chocolate, from their perspective, it’s definitely both sweet and bittersweet…



She stopped beside the truck and waited for him to unlock the passenger door. He kept his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Her heart started to thump.

“You still fit up against me,” he said, “as if we were two puzzle pieces linked together.”

“We’re a puzzle, all right,” she murmured.

He moved to stand in front of her. He reached for the lapels of her jacket, holding them closed, protecting her from the breeze. “I always did enjoy a good puzzle.” He tugged gently, bringing her a shade closer as he dipped his head.

His mouth was cold from the air around them, minty from the plastic-wrapped candy he’d taken from the dish beside the cash register. She wondered if he’d done that deliberately, taken the mint with the knowledge he intended to kiss her. The thought that he might have wanted…might have planned…might have looked forward to just this moment sent a pleasurable thrill racing through her.

“Still cold?” he murmured against her mouth. He slid both arms around her, holding her against him, warming every inch of her, outside and in.

They stood in the parking lot, in public, in view of her friends, the way they had done all over town during their dating days, and somehow she didn’t care. She let him kiss her, and she kissed him, too.

And she wished they could go back to those days and start all over again.



From the cover of Cowboy in Charge, July 2016



TIMING IS EVERYTHING



Single mom Layne Slater thought she'd seen the last of Jason McAndry when he chose the rodeo over her and their unborn son. Now Jason's back in Cowboy Creek and just as handsome as ever. But Layne can't give in to those feelings again. She has to protect her children…and her heart.



Jason wants to try to make up for the pain he caused when he left. The least he can do is help Layne while he's home. Before long, Jason realizes he's finally ready to be the husband, father and man his family deserves. But can Jason prove to Layne that this time, their love is forever?
