Join hot cowboy Levi and quirky author Jodie in a fun short story of heat, cringe-worthy families, and dramas of the heart.

“You’re out of control,” I say as he leads me back to some cryptic place behind the rodeo. “And you love it,” he murmurs, turning to kiss me, his hands wandering, making me thankful in all sorts of ways for a very Texan and very scandalous Thanksgiving rodeo.

When Levi Creed, the sexy cowboy, takes Jodie Ellison home for a true Texan Thanksgiving, she has no idea what kind of rowdy holiday she’s in for. As Levi and Jodie’s families unite for one crazy dinner, Jodie uncovers Levi’s roots. Will the scorching Texas heat unite their already smoldering hearts, or will elements of Levi’s past prove to be too much for the new couple?

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

“Don’t think you’re getting any hanky-panky from me after that comment… You know when I put my special lipstick on, no one can resist, especially not Alvin.” She winks at me. “I’ll show you the color. It’s scientifically proven to be the correct shade to drive any man mad.”

 “I keep a stock of them just in case. This one’s for you.” I glance down as she pulls something out of the pocket in her skirt. It’s a ruby-red lipstick… “It’s not sweet. It’s spicy. Look at the name.” I flip the tube over in my hand and squint to read the tiny writing. Smoldering Sexpot. That’s what the lipstick’s called. Seriously… Aunt Pearl winks again. “You can thank me later when it does the trick.” She nudges me in the ribs, eying Levi.

 And by the way, what’s up with the whole separate bedrooms for you and Levi? I mean, you’re not very good at hiding your sex hair, so if Pam thinks you two aren’t having your own wild rodeo every night in that room, she must be blind.

 My Review:

There are few things like the nerves experienced when meeting the family of the love of your life for the first time, and Ms. Detwiler’s lively tale of a “true Texan Thanksgiving” was far more fun than what resides in my memory banks. This novella was an amusing, quick, satisfying, and pleasantly entertaining read. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series but this one may just be my favorite, I could certainly use a tube Aunt Pearl’s magical ruby red lipstick myself.

A high school English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay’s the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.

She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, and Bob; and their Mastiff, Henry.

Lindsay’s goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she’s done her job.

Lindsay’s hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
