Cora Recommends: Wedding Bands by Ev Bishop
If you’ve finished The Cowboy Inherits A Bride and are looking for your next must-read book, pick up the newly released Wedding Bands by Ev Bishop. The first book in the River’s Sigh B&B series, Wedding Bands is a story about rediscovering lost love and second chances.
Wedding Bands (book 1):
Ditched by her high school sweetheart, Callum Archer, on the night they’re supposed to elope, Jo Kendall casts out on her own, brokenhearted.
Over the years, Jo reels in a life she loves, centered on the outdoors, fishing (favoring a lucky wedding band lure), and her fine dining restaurant—a life that crashes away when her husband and business partner cheats her, leaving her bankrupt and alone.
Then her uncle dies, bequeathing Jo and her sister, Samantha, his rural property. Jo returns to Greenridge, determined to build a new business and permanent home—without the help of a man. Unfortunately Samantha wants her inheritance in cold, hard cash and hires a lawyer to get it for her, a lawyer who turns out to be none other than Jo’s long-lost love, Callum.
Jo’s fledgling plans—and her heart—are at risk once more.
If Jo can fight her insecurities, she might end up with a wedding band that doesn’t come with a sharp hook. But should she risk everything she’s worked for, yet again? Before she can decide, she needs to know: can a lost love truly be reclaimed?
You can buy Wedding Bands in eBook here:

Cora Recommends: Her Perfect Cowboy by Trish Milburn
The “Cowboys Last All Night” box set, featuring my Cowboys of Chance Creek series prequel novella The Cowboy Inherits A Bride doesn’t release until Monday, Jan 12. If you need some heartwarming cowboy romance to keep you occupied until then, check out Trish Milburn’s Blue Falls, Texas series.
Blue Falls, Texas is a fictitious western town that serves as the backdrop for each of the stories. The first book in the series, Her Perfect Cowboy, is a tale of opposites attract when rugged rodeo promoter Liam Parrish crosses paths with frilly India Pike. Can they overcome their differences to find a happily ever after? You’ll have to read it to find out.
To give you a feel for the series–and the author behind the series–Trish Milburn has agreed to answer a few questions. She’s also offering a prize for one lucky reader!
What is it about cowboy novels that you find intriguing?
I grew up watching old westerns on TV. They were on a lot on Saturday afternoons. I like the idealized cowboy — strong, proud, hard worker, protector, at one with the land. There’s something romantic about this American icon.
Where did you get your inspiration for Blue Falls, TX?
I visited a good friend in San Antonio, and we drove out through the Hill Country of Texas. It’s pretty out there, and there are lots of small, cute towns. So Blue Falls is inspired by the real towns of Fredericksburg, Gruene and Marble Falls.
What do you think it is about cowboy novels that keeps them so popular?
The things I mentioned above. They’re the embodiment of what it means to be a uniquely American hero, men we associate with vast stretches of the American West. I think the image of a cowboy calls out to something primal in us, a connection to the land and to a simpler life.
What is your favorite cowboy movie?
Wow, that’s a tough question. Some favorites are Lonesome Dove, 3:10 to Yuma and Tombstone. I really need to go back and just have a weekend of watching old westerns.
The quintessential cowboy question–John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?
Oh, you and the hard questions. Both are certainly classics, but I’ll admit a slight preference for Clint Eastwood. And it seems like his son is following in his father’s heartthrob footsteps.
Interesting side story — my uncle who lives in Arizona used to drive a tractor-trailer for a living. Once, years ago, he hauled a load of cattle for John Wayne’s ranch.
Thank you, Trish! As a special treat, Trish is offering an autographed advance reader copy (ARC) of book 4 in her series, The Doctor’s Cowboy, which doesn’t release until March 2015. To enter The Doctor’s Cowboy giveaway, simply comment on this post and answer the following question: what’s your favorite cowboy movie and why?

Her Perfect Cowboy (Book #1 – Liam & India)
Having the Cowboy’s Baby (Book #2 – Logan & Skyler)
Marrying the Cowboy (Book #3 – Pete & Elissa)

Release Day: The Marine’s E-Mail Order Bride!
Today is the release of The Marine’s E-Mail Order Bride! This novel is book 3 in my Heroes of Chance Creek series. Here’s an excerpt:
The first time their hands brushed as they walked, she felt a little thrill. The second time she wondered if that touch was deliberate. She slid a glance under her lashes at the man beside her only to find him looking back at her. That heart-stopping smile curved his mouth once more and her breath caught in her throat. Was he flirting with her?
Their fingertips touched again and just for a second—a space of time so short she thought she must have imagined it—his fingers tangled with hers and gave her a little tug. She bit her lip as a jolt of desire ripped through her.
Get your copy now! Best of all, there’s no need to wait for the next book in the series. Book 4 in the Heroes of Chance Creek, The Navy SEAL’s Christmas Bride, is already available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. Why not get both books and treat yourself to some steamy military romance today?

A New Year and a New Release
Next Tuesday is the release of the next novel in my Heroes of Chance Creek series, The Marine’s E-Mail Order Bride. Here’s a small sample:
“It’s nice to meet you, Zane,” she forced herself to say and held out her hand to him.
Zane took it, shook, but didn’t release her.
“Nice to meet you too.”
His hand was strong, his palm and fingers rough from work. His voice was low and masculine. Sexy. She wanted him to keep hold of her forever…
