I’m starting a new feature on Tuesdays, where I will torture–I mean tease–you with a sneak peek at an upcoming project or post a snippet from a past book. And since you all are NAGGING me for info about a little book called COWGIRLS DON’T CRY, naturally, I’m giving you a tiny peek at…SLOW RIDE 🙂
Enjoy!
SLOW RIDE
Samhain Publishing, November 2010

This was the longest wedding reception in the history of the world. She wished it were over—which truly was saying something, since it was her wedding reception.
Jack leaned closer and whispered, “Stop sighing.”
His warm breath sent goose bumps cascading down the right side of her body. Keely turned her head so his five o’clock shadow scraped her jaw. She closed her eyes and inhaled his familiar scent: cologne, starch on his shirt collar and the underlying hint of his heated flesh.
Jack Donohue. Her husband. She really and truly was married to this gorgeous, sexy, intense man.
Keely sighed again, not out of annoyance, but out of pure pleasure.
He smiled against her cheek. “Now that’s a sigh I recognize.”
“I have different sounding sighs?”
“Uh-huh. You make that one in bed after I—”
“Bringing up sex when we aren’t having any just makes me cranky, Jack.”
His soft chuckle tickled her ear.
“It’s not funny. Why aren’t we rolling around in bed nekkid right now?” she demanded in a fierce whisper. “We are married. Why are we still stuck at the reception? No one would care if we left.”
He eased back to gaze into her eyes. “As much as I can’t wait to roll around naked with you, if we skip out early, your dad will kill me, turning you into a widow before you’ve had a chance to be a wife.” His voice dropped an octave and the possessive rumble vibrated through her in an electric caress. “My wife.”
“You certainly get off on saying my wife.”
“Yes, I do, Keely McKay Donohue. So go ahead and call me a Neanderthal.”
“I would if it meant you’d employ some caveman tactics and drag me off to your cave. Right now?” she asked hopefully.
“God, I wish.”

OMG, you so do not play fair Lorelei! I seriously do not know why you can’t produce a new book a month for me to enjoy. Do you really need to sleep and enjoy your family? LOL! (PS–I so love Keely and Jack, such a great couple!)

Tuesdays are now my favorite day of the week! I can’t even begin to tell you how many people end up on my blog (because of your previous guest appearances) doing a search for “Cowgirls Don’t Cry by Lorelei James”. I guess there are a lot of readers like myself that just can’t wait for your next book! Thanks for the teaser…I’ll take it any way I can get it 😉
