RwA PaRtY TiMe- YEHAW! Cowboy Time

By Vivian Arend

Rocky Mountain Angel
Six Pack Ranch, Book 4

Sometimes even Angels must learn to fly…

Allison Parker needs a convincing excuse to come home to Rocky Mountain House. A hopelessly romantic reason that won’t let her mother suspect the truth—that Allison has discovered Mom is keeping a terrible secret from the family.

Gabe Coleman is struggling with two of the roughest parts of ranching: dealing with his bull-headed mule of a father, and making enough to pay the bills. When his old friend Allison offers to help him develop his ideas for organic ranching—in trade for pretending to be her fiancé—it sounds like the perfect set-up.

Yet the deception leads them in an unexpected direction, where their shared daily hells are erased by nights of heavenly distraction. It’s not supposed to be real, but once the gates are opened, there’s no denying they’ve found in each other a little bit of Paradise.

To break free of the past and face the future, though, will take more than temporary pleasures. It’ll take putting their hearts on the line.

Warning: Tortured hero with a guardian-angel complex, grief-stricken heroine willing to sacrifice everything for family. Break out the tissues, this trip to the ranch is a heartbreaker on the way to the HEA.

~~  Amazon ~~

Yes, Book 4 is up for preorder at Amazon (hopefully B&N soon). Today’s winner will get a PRINT ARC of ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEAT. Signed by me– I’ll save you one from the Samhain signing taking place today. The print book isn’t out until October, so you’re getting a treat! ;)

To be entered to win– tell me what part of ranching you’d MOST like to experience. Or if you’re a country gal– what’s your favourite chore?

Never lived on a ranch but I did live in the country when I was a youngin’ and I always loved feeding the chickens. They were easier to catch when they were eating.

Hmm, never been on a ranch either but grew up in rural England, which sure is different from the San Francisco area where I now live. :-) I wouldn’t mind getting to ride horses every day, I would definitely be in better shape if I lived on a ranch!

I’ve never had a Ranch, so that could be a fun expierence. I have lived on a farm, though. We raised pigs and chickens. There is defintly nothing better than an egg from the garm. Much better than the grovery store.

I grew up on a dairy farm so I’ve been around farm animals but we never had horses so i guess lerning to take care of and ride a horse. Might be fun.

I would love to work on a ranch. I love all the animals. I would like to try a cattle drive on horse back. Maybe delivering a new born calf. Sounds like very hard work.

Baking the fresh pies to put in the window and making lemonade or ice tea for the hot ranch hands!

ZOMG can’t wait to get my hands on Rocky Mountain Angel. You write some damn fine cowboys.

I’ve recently moved country. So far, feeding the neighbors goats is fairly fun- except they get this really creepy look in there eyes…

I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I would love to be able to experience the animal care with my daughter. I have never been interested in ranching until my daughter began talking about her love of animals. I think she would love that aspect of ranching.

Since I love to garden, I would enjoy have more space to grow more food. I’d love to be able to grow almost all the fruits and vegetables that my family would eat!

Hanging out with the ranchhands :) I’ve been on a horse before, and it was fun, but honestly, all of it seems like a lot of hard work!
