Move over Peyton Place!

What can I say? I lived in a trailer park for about three years and the comings and going of the many individuals weren't quite as spicy as the characters Kristie and Mark developed, but they were close. I could see the old football hero Billy Ray Nixon and his buddies hanging out at the Amtrack catching a brew each evening after work an discussing events of no substance. Reminded me of "Married with Children." Al and Peg Bundy make a comeback.

Billy Ray's wife Beth Anne decides it is time to get out of her everyday life and buys a PC. She is bound and determined to right a best seller so she can get out of her rut of cutting hair and being the main contributor (not by choice) to the Grapevine Gazette. The writer for the Gazette has a true axe to grind with Beth Anne and takes every opportunity to embarrass her at every turn. Well, Beth Anne is taking it no more and enters the world of cyberspace. Billy Ray thinks its an old Star Trek re-run.

What she doesn't realize is she is starting journey that will not only shake-up the entire town of Grapevine, Ky and the coming and goings of most of the residents, her research and writing is really going to spice up her marriage in ways neither of them even imagined in high school. They just thought they were having fun.

WARNING! This book is not PG rated. It is hot and steamy with more sex (at times) then the law allows. Not only to Billy Ray and Beth Anne re-ignite passion in their relationship, after Billy Ray sneaks a chapter out of the trailer (Beth Anne warned him to stay away from HER computer) and reads some excerpts to his buddies down at the Amtrack ( on a dare), Beth Anne's writings have a profound effect on them and their wives.

If you like a book filled with sex (Linda Lovelace would have a "hard' time keeping up), revenge, espionage (trailer park style), gossip (move over Barbera Eden-Harper Valley), feuding neighbors (yeah, Hatfields and McCoys), I guarantee, you will not be disappointed.

Think that sums it. Need to take a cold shower now.

Second Chances: Love Lost, Love Found gets a new look!


I am happy to announce that my novel Second Chances: Love Lost, Love Found has a brand new cover. The handsome model on the cover is the internationally famous romance novel cover model Jimmy Thomas! I don't know about you but I sure would give him a SECOND CHANCE!

Book Blurb:
Jane Porter's world is turned upside down when her 'almost fiancé' Mike Farley goes off the deep end and marries the beautiful and fiery Samantha Jo Smith, a girl he met just a few short weeks earlier at the Wild Horse Saloon in Casper, Wyoming. Jane goes into a deep depression but in her heart-of-hearts she can't deny that she still loves Mike.
Samantha soon realizes that her hasty marriage to Mike was a mistake. She can't forget her dreams of becoming a country and western superstar. Mike can't forget about Jane.

Through it all, Mike's mother Liz and Jane's father Jim come closer together as they struggle with the mess their children have made of their lives and the day-to-day struggle of running their neighboring ranches.

What will Samantha do? What will happen to Mike? Will Jane have a second chance at love? Will Jim and Liz realize it is never too late for love?
Find out in Kristie Leigh Maguire's Second Chances: Love Lost, Love Found. Set in rural Wyoming, Second Chances is a sweet contemporary western romance that will warm your heart. One reader stated, "I read it through in an evening, and felt as if I had spent that evening with 'salt of the earth' folk." Another reader said, "I loved the double, no triple, second chance. It was a very sweet ending."

Why do we need romance novels? Authors have answers

By Joyce Lamb, USA TODAY


Happy Valentine's Day! Today is all about love, love, love. And not just for people, but also for romance novels. (Isn't that why we're here, after all?)

We asked authors and readers some questions about the importance of romance novels in our lives and, boy, did they respond! Every hour on the hour today (continuing at 10 a.m. ET until 6 p.m.), I'm going to post what they shared — and you can share your feelings, too, in the comments. Warm fuzzies for everyone! You might also want to check out the story I wrote in today's Your Life section of USA TODAY about why we love romance novels. You can find it here, too. And, stay tuned to HEA for our announcement later today of the winners of the #HEA140 tweet contest.

HEA asked romance authors: Why do we need romance novels? Authors' responses are listed with the title of their most recent or upcoming release.

Cindy Gerard, Last Man Standing
"Shortly after 9/11, I asked myself this same question. What was I contributing? How could what I did possibly be relevant in the face of a nation in mourning. A nation in crisis. For some time, I couldn't bring myself to write. It seemed so trivial. But then a dear author friend of mine pointed out what should have been obvious. Now more than ever, the world needs validation that good wins over evil. That there can be happily ever afters. That love heals and love gives strength. So I started writing again ... about strong men and women overcoming the worst life could throw at them. And I know now that I'm providing not only entertainment, but a service, if you will.
 

A FREE Valentine's Day Gift for YOU!

In honor of Valentine's Day (the day of love), I have made my hot romance book, Affairs of the Heart: Desert Heat and Cabin Fever (Two award winning titles under one cover) as a FREE download for your Kindle. This book is listed for $6.50 but it is yours for FREE today and tomorrow. All you have to do is click on the link and download it.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Kristie Leigh Maguire - Award Winning Indie Author

http://www.amazon.com/Affairs-Heart-Desert-winning-ebook/dp/B0073YEF2U/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1


Kristie Leigh Maguire has combined two of her award winning titles under one cover in Affairs of the Heart: Desert Heat and Cabin Fever. Desert Heat was named Romance of the Year and Kristie Leigh Maguire was named Best Up and Coming Romance Author of the Year by the Affaire de Coeur Magazine. Cabin Fever placed in the Top Ten in the Preditors and Editors Poll.

From the blistering sands of California’s Mojave Desert to the glittering neon lights of Las Vegas, Marcie Treyhorne sweeps you away into a world of sex and passion in Desert Heat. Marcie’s adventures continue in the mountains of northern Nevada in Cabin Fever. Enter Marcie's world...if you dare!

Marcie's story is that of a happily married woman who fights the attraction between herself and her new boss. Can one woman truly love two men at the same time? Can one woman enjoy physical and emotional bonds with two men? Maguire gives us the answers.

Secondary plot twists add to the suspense as Marcie's life becomes more and more entangled with her two loves, Steve and Jim. Her climatic decision comes down to physical desires and emotional well-being played against spiritual considerations and the stability of a long-standing marriage. Her decision may surprise you.

Kristie Leigh Maguire pushes the boundaries between romance and erotica, giving her readers heart-pounding sensual sensations within a dynamic plot.
