BLP REVIEW ~ TRACY
Not for the first time in recent weeks I picked up a book not fully realising that it was further into a series that I hadn’t looked at yet…. but, as usual, that didn’t affect my thought on the story.
Cupid’s Cowboy was a fairly quick read that I was really looking forward to from the blurb but I was kinda disappointed that it didn’t quite live up to what I was expecting….
Don’t get me wrong, in the main it was a decent read but I just didn’t fully feel the connection between Jase and Leigh apart from the initial spark that was obvious and then again the first time they actual came together (pun intended!!) although things did pick up in the latter part of the story.
They spent so much time apart, with no communication – Leigh dithering about what she should do career wise, whether she wanted a relationship with the sexy singing cowboy all while working on things for her new signing but not keeping in touch and Jase feeling sorry for himself, let down and about to give up on his long term dream – I wanted him to be stronger in his belief of himself!!
When they were back in contact suddenly it seemed like all was right with the world and their issues were forgotten but I really liked how things turned out for them and the epilogue was fun.
For me, this was a 3.9* but for longstanding readers of Becky McGraw I’m sure it will be a hit!

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Broken Seal (Sleeper SEALs #10) by Geri Foster
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
Broken SEAL
Sleeper SEALs Book 10
Geri Foster
Release Date January 23, 2018
The Sleeper SEALs are former U.S. Navy SEALs recruited by a new CIA counter-terror division to handle solo dark ops missions to combat terrorism on U.S. soil.
Garrett Mann is burned out. Eight years as a Navy SEAL can do that to a man – especially when he’s been on one too many missions where he has lost too many of his buddies. At thirty-five, he has been fortunate not to be the next Navy SEAL with his name on the wall. Still, he can’t refuse a former commander who enlists him for one last assignment on a secret project.
Doctor Haley Kingston skills will keep her alive, but only one man can save her after she is kidnapped from the hospital where she is working. Haley’s code of ethics as a doctor leaves her little choice but to help the injured leader of a terrorist group. Unfortunately, those ethics won’t be able to save her, or thousands of others, should the terrorist leader live.
Haley will have to trust the last man on earth that she wants to see – the one that broke her heart. Garrett has his own problems. He will have to face his worse nightmares – see the one he loves in danger and realize that his dog tags may be the next ones given to her. Garrett will be pitted against foes determined to stop him at any cost. Can he save the woman he has always been afraid to love before she is executed? Or will his nightmares come true, and this mission will turn out to be his last?
Each book in this multi-author branded series is a standalone novel and the series does not have to be read in order.

About the Author:
For as long as she can remember, Geri Foster has been a lover of reading and the written word. By the seventh grade she had worn out two library cards and had read every book in her age area of the library. After raising a family and saying good-bye to the corporate world, she tried her hand at writing.
To her surprise, she won a couple of contests, hooked up with a really great critique group and her writing career was well on its way. She spent several years studying her craft and developing her voice.
Action, intrigue, danger and sultry romance drew her like a magnet. That’s why she had no choice but to launch her published career with action-romance suspense. While she reads every genre under the sun, she’s always been drawn to guns, bombs and fighting men. Secrecy and suspense move her to write edgy stories about daring and honorable heroes who manage against all odds to end up with their one true love.
To keep the serious side of life at bay, Geri likes to write sexy short stories for her fans. In the Women of Courage series, Geri explores the deeper, darker nuances of life and relationships in small-town mid-century America.

Excerpt:
They’d only walked a short distance when he decided it was silly to pretend like they weren’t both there.
“What do you do for a living, Ivy?”
He glanced at her over his shoulder, saw her reticence in responding.
“I’m just curious. I don’t have any plans to continue stalking you once this hike is over.”
She sighed. “I’m a vet. Work at the pet clinic in West Yellowstone.”
“Is that right? Take care of kittens and puppies?” He hadn’t meant that as an insult, but the way she crinkled her nose proved she’d taken it as such.
“I’m not saying that’s a bad thing at all,” he hastened to explain. James was a huge fan of both types of pets. Probably because they had a couple big dogs at the ranch and at least half a dozen barn cats at any given time.
Ivy shrugged. “I know. It’s just not where I plan to end up. This is a short-term gig. I specialized in school. My field of study was large-animal care.”
James stopped walking, and Ivy was almost next to him before she realized. She pulled up short. “You mean like horses and cattle?”
She nodded. “Yeah. I love horses.”
A big smile split his face. “So do I. My family owns a ranch in Compton Pass, Wyoming.”
Her face brightened. “I know where that is. Saw the exit for it after every holiday when I drove back to college.”
“Oh yeah. Must mean you went to Colorado State. We’re on the way.”
“Yeah. Always wanted to stop in Compton Pass. Seems like a really nice place.”
