Thrilled and delighted to shine the Saturday Spotlight on fellow Decadent Publishing author, Krista Ames! Krista's latest release, TAKE ME HOME, COWBOY, is from Decadent's Western Escape line.
Blurb:
Ally Kincaid returns to Freewill, Wyoming, to see her father
after a two year absence. Anticipating a quiet family reunion, she finds
herself butting heads with her father’s foreman instead. The man’s arrogance
and sexy drawl push all her buttons, making her wonder what he’s hiding beneath
his cowboy swagger.
Matt Gentry walked away from the past and shies from the
future. No ties means no one gets hurt…until the boss’s daughter, a hot, green-eyed
blonde, tempts him to break his own rules.
When tragedy strikes, will building tension and pride
destroy their growing attraction or show them the way home?
Excerpt:
“I need to buy that
man an answering machine.” Furious, Ally held the receiver away from her ear,
eyes closed as the phone on the other end rang continuously. “Come on, Daddy,
where are you?”
She was ready to hang up in frustration when the receiver
was picked up and then—by the sound of the loud clanging on the other
end—dropped.
“Circle K,” said the deep male voice rather breathlessly.
“Where in the world were you?”
“Excuse me?” the husky voice asked.
Oh crap, that’s definitely not Daddy. She’d been so
surprised her call had finally been answered, she hadn’t realized there was
nothing familiar about the voice at the end of the line “I’m sorry….” she
cracked. Wow, where did that high-pitched squeak come from? “I’m sorry, who is
this?”
“This is the Circle K Ranch. Who’s this?”
The man’s question held an impressive sexy drawl. Definitely
not a voice she’d ever heard in New York City, and one she’d only be lucky
enough to find in her dreams.
“I’d like to speak to Jesse Kincaid, please.” She did a
mental inventory of all the ranch hands but couldn’t place the voice. And he
obviously didn’t recognize hers either. Must be somebody new her father had
hired since the last time she’d been there.
“Sorry, ma’am, he’s not here. What can I do for ya?”
“When will he be available, please?”
“Now, ma’am, I don’t guess I’m at liberty to say until I
know exactly who it is I’m speaking at.”
God, men could be so arrogant. Why did he need to know who
was calling? A simple answer would suffice.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but this is Ally
Kincaid. Who exactly are you?”
“Well, well, isn’t this a nice surprise? Miss Ally Kincaid.
Did your father know you’d be calling?
She gritted her teeth in frustration. Who does this cocky,
know-it-all cowboy think he is?

Review from Books,Books and More Books:
I’ll be honest, I am a big fan of contemporary western
romances…and books like Take Me Home, Cowboy are the reason. This is my first
book by author Krista Ames and I was very impressed that she put such a
delightful twist on old favorite ~ big city girl returns to her roots where she
discovers love.
This is a very sweet and touching romance between two people
that soon discover an attraction through sexual tension. The author was even
able to turn something that normally completely repulses me -- characters who
keep secrets from each other – into something wonderful. Matt never let his
secret get in the way of his character or his genuine feelings for Ally; you
could feel the very deep emotional connection between the characters.
I could go on and on about this book, but it's better for
you to just go buy it and then read it.
