About COWBOY RESURRECTION
Marketing
hotshot Monica Kaur has put her big-city life on hold to help bail out her
brother’s failing business. Now she’s got three months to plan and promote a
rodeo, the first her tiny hometown has ever seen.
To ensure
the rodeo’s success, Monica enlists a local hero, a rancher’s son who’s made a
name for himself on the bull-riding circuit. Problem? She can’t stop
daydreaming about the cocky bastard—and all the things she longs to do to him
out behind the chutes.
Professional
bullfighter Dean MacKinnon is home helping his family while his father fights
cancer. Haunted by bad memories, jaded by love, Dean finds escape in a
no-strings-attached go-round with brainy, sexy Monica, whose close-knit
Sikh-American family would sooner run him out of town than see her with a
notorious rodeo Romeo.
In private,
Monica and Dean play as hard as they work. But as the rodeo draws near, that
clean break they promised each other is getting more and more hung up in the
rigging.
Warning: Contains rope
play, motel nooners, a blue-eyed charmer with a taste for kink, and a
brown-eyed princess with a taste for cowboys.

Excerpt:
“Careful,”
he said softly. With sure, swift movements, he hooked one arm around her waist
and rested his other hand flat against her back, helping her gain her center of
balance at once. She wavered a little bit, but his stance was solid, as though
his legs were rooted in the earth like trees. Her skirt had ridden up just a
little and she was straddling his thigh.
Sudden
heat flared up wherever her body was touching his—her chest, her back, her
waist, her hands. A powerful, greedy ache grabbed hold of her between her legs.
She didn’t move.
Neither
did he.
“Miss
Kaur,” he whispered. “Are you all right?”
They
were standing so close together that Monica could see the faint brown freckles
on his cheeks, the crinkles that formed at the corners of his blue eyes when he
smiled.
“Call
me Monica,” she said.
“Monica,”
he murmured, “are you all right?” His mouth, framed by that short, dark beard,
was wide and luscious, as tempting to her as an oasis in the heat.
Monica
wasn’t a fool. She’d watched videos of him in the ring. Dressed in his gear and
cowboy hat, Dean was fast as a cat and completely fearless, putting himself
between angry bulls and fallen riders again and again and again. In the most
famous incident, a rider had gotten hung up in his rope and Dean had taken a
hoof to the femur while cutting the man free. Dean was fearless.
His
local legend went back much further. Back in high school, he’d been Oleander’s
very own cowboy Casanova, a football player and weekend bullfighter more
handsome than a movie star. Some of the women who’d known him in school had
told her stories about him that had left her blushing. When he’d gotten
married, they’d cried enough tears to fill the aqueduct. Mystery shrouded his
eventual divorce. Monica couldn’t dig up the dirt even though she tried.
And
there were dozens of fan sites dedicated to the hotness of Dean MacKinnon. From
Dean’s Queens, a group of gay cowboys
in San Francisco, to Jailbait No More,
a small army of young women who showed up at his events wearing T-shirts that
said Hey, Dean, I’m Finally 18. Dean
MacKinnon lived in an all-you-can-eat buffet of willing sexual partners.
Up
close, Monica saw the truth. Those fans weren’t wrong. The man was a bona-fide
sex god.
He
grinned as though he could read her mind. “Are you all right, princess?”
Temporary
insanity was her only excuse. Months without sex, and her body was like a bull
bucking in its chute. No brain. No logic. No words. All go.
“Don’t…call
me that,” she whispered, staring at his mouth.
She
leaned forward, tipped her head and, eyes open, pressed her lips against his.
Rachel's Review~
Cowboy Resurrection is in a series of standalones. This is book 2, but you can start here if you want.
Mia Hopkins writes a wonderful tale. Her words flow and her sex scenes are steamy.
You don't need to be a cowboy loving, rodeo junky to read this. Just as long as you like your book boyfriends sweet and sexy and so good in the sack, then this is for you!
Monica isn't your typical American girl. She's very traditional and her heritage means everything to her family...so she does what her parents want, even though she's 32.
Dean...he's a cowboy. Ok, he's a bullfighter ( or rodeo clown, if you will ) and he's home because his dad has cancer and Deans helping out on the family ranch.
Well, Monica and Dean are forced together to work on a rodeo and it's not only sparks that fly.
Great short story.

See what people are saying about COWBOY RESURRECTION:
“Wow, wow, and wow…The love that blossoms between [the hero and
heroine] is unrushed, genuine, true. *sigh* I loved this book from start to
finish and highly recommend it, and not just for fans of western romance.”
—Goodreads review, 5/5 stars
“The writing is excellent, the emotions leap off the page, and
the sex is downright earthy…This is a feel-good romance with a strong, career-minded
heroine, a swoon-worthy working class hero, a great setting and lots of
lovingly detailed sex.”
—Jill Sorenson, RITA-nominated author of romantic suspense
Check out the first book in The Cowboy
Cocktail series, COWBOY VALENTINE!
Forget
chocolate and flowers. This homegrown honey is all the sweetness he craves.
Small-town
life is nothing but a waiting room for eighteen-year-old honor student Corazón
Gomez. Work and school leave little time for love, but with a full-ride Ivy
League scholarship and a one-way ticket out of the boondocks, who needs it?
The
answer appears on Valentine’s Day when her old cowboy crush ambles into the ice
cream parlor where she works, inviting her to go on a late-night ride in his
truck. For the first time she wavers between staying on the straight and
narrow, and going off-road with the handsome heartbreaker.
After
four years working on ranches all over the country, Caleb MacKinnon is back on
the family farm helping out his mom and brothers while his father fights
cancer. The one bright spot: smart, funny, and wickedly sexy Cora.
From
the start, they both know this blazing-hot love affair can’t last. But when
autumn comes and Cora has to leave for the East Coast, Caleb must find a
solution to keep himself—and his heart—from falling apart.
Warning:
Contains hard, cherry-poppin’ sex in a pickup truck and a cowboy charmer who
talks dirty in two languages.
