A new Harts Of The Rodeo book plus Surprise Contest

Another month, another exciting read from the Harts Of The Rodeo series! I hope you haven’t missed any of the books so far. You can find the complete list here. This month is all about Austin: Second-Chance Cowboy by Shelley Galloway. Earlier, Shelley shared an interview with her main characters so we could get to know them a little better. I think you’ll agree, these two are in for one heck of an adventure when they start falling in love!

Interviewer:  What is your greatest accomplishment?

Austin: Being a different man than my father.

Dinah:  Becoming Roundup’s sheriff.

 Interviewer: What trait is most important in a friend?

Austin:  Humor

Dinah: (looking a little uneasy) Trust and Patience, I suppose. I haven’t had too much time for friends lately.

Austin: Which is why, Dinah, everyone around you needs a sense of humor.

Dinah: Next question, please?

 Interviewer: What do you most enjoy about your job?

Austin: Owning my own business means I’m the boss of me. I like that.

Dinah:  Helping others, especially the kids in town.

Interviewer:  Who do you most admire and why?

Austin: My sister, Cheyenne. She’s raising her girls on her own-and they’re wonderful girls.

Dinah:  My mother.

Interviewer:  Name your biggest regret.

 Austin: Damn, these questions are getting pretty personal. (swallows) All right, here goes. My biggest regret is that I drink too much. I’m working on this though.

Dinah:  That my father didn’t see me become the sheriff. He would’ve really liked that.

 Interviewer: What makes you angry or upset?

Austin: When people think I’m just like my dad.

Dinah: When people underestimate me.

Interviewer:  What trait would you like to change about yourself?

Austin:  I hold grudges and keep everything inside. Shoot-is that two traits?

Dinah: Austin, I’m surprised you didn’t have a whole laundry list.

Austin: Just answer the question, D.

Dinah: All right, the trait I would most like to change is my insecurity. I kind of have a hard time seeing myself as a woman and a sheriff.

Austin: I don’t have any problem seeing you like that.

Dinah: Shut up, Austin.

Interviewer:  What is your most treasured possession?

Austin:  Can’t say that I have one. Yet.

Dinah:  One of my father’s old flannel shirts. If you close your eyes and hug it tight, it smells just like him.

Interviewer:  What makes you happy?

Austin: Coloring with my nieces.

Dinah: My mother’s home cooking.

Interviewer:  Of what are you most afraid?

Austin: Of losing everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Dinah: Of being alone for the rest of my life.

Interviewer:  If they made a movie of your life, what genre would it be?

Austin: Oh, heck…it would have to be just about everything…and just to let you know…my life ain’t even close to being over.

Dinah:  I think my movie would be an action-adventure. Being a sheriff gives me some pretty eventful days, you know…
