Asteroid Jazz (Cowboy Karen Book 1) by J. C. Gilbert

It’s a honky-tonk life out on the asteroid belt and not the good kind.

When things go well, life is fine. Find some work, do the job, get paid, and keep flying. But since when did things go well?

It is always a bit risky picking up a job for the Order of Bo, but it’s a tough season, and the pay is good. But what seemed like a simple courier job just got a little bit more complicated. With a missing ship, a shifting rendezvous point, and a system full of misogynistic pigs, Karen and her companion Fluffy have their work cut out for them.

Oh yeah, and then there is the dragon which apparently no one else can see…

Life is not quite fine.

Love space cowboys? Hate the patriarchy? Join Karen and her cat Fluffy for an adventure like no other.

About the author:

A connoisseur of sense and nonsense in equal measure.

J. C. Gilbert is a New Zealand based author and psychologist who loves to write silly and satirical adventures to give people a bit of a laugh and an escape. When he is not writing, he is usually by the sea-side listening to a book or dreaming of his next adventure.

What inspired you to write your book?

I wanted to write something which was sort of Discworld meets Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Karen was originally only supposed to be a writing exercise, but I soon fell in love with the characters and am now pleased that I can give Karen and Fluffy their own series.

Here is a short sample from the book:

“You are a sap. I know what’s going to happen now. You are totally going to ‘pull a human’ and track down this Mirae kid.” said Fluffy.
“You don’t know that," said Karen. "This kid is probably better off without the Alliance anyway. I might just keep this thing. I haven’t decided. Could be worth a lot of money.”
“Oh, yeap,” said Fluffy, unconvinced.
“So, our thief is Alliance? Figures.”
“You don’t like the Alliance? I would have thought they were right up your alley.”
“How come?” asked Karen.
“You know, they have that whole ‘I don’t want to kill you but will if I have to’ thing going on, just like you. And then they inevitably snap and become more lethal than the bad guys. Just like you.”
“I haven’t snapped,” said Karen.
“Give it time.”

  • Rodeo Summer by Jillian Neal

    0 out of 5

    “Summer Sanchez has a plan:
    Get full custody of her little boy from his good-for-nothing father and get as far away from the rodeo circuit as possible. Keeping her son safe is her only priority. She’ll figure out the rest later.

    Until Austin Camden takes her to his bed… Champion bull rider, Austin Camden, shows her just how much she’s been missing. His rugged good looks, whisky-smooth voice and very capable hands set her on fire. He has more bedroom skill than she ever believed could be housed in one man. If she isn’t careful, she may never recover.

    If he plays his cards right…
    Austin will go home with the PBR buckle and Summer, the sexy little spitfire that’s his every fantasy come to life.

    He’ll risk it all…
    To keep her and her son safe when their lives together are threatened. Keeping her sated and making her his forever is just a bonus.

    Can he convince her Camden Ranch is where she belongs before it’s too late?
    He’s spent the last ten years chasing that championship buckle.

    He’s about to discover that the ride of his life will have nothing to do with a bull.
    It’s a no holds barred fight to the finish to prove to Summer that their scorching hot relationship is better than winning any buckle.”

    0 out of 5

    Our Second Chance by Author C.D. Taylor is a tale of forgiveness, redemption, and love. It demonstrates how the power of healing can strengthen the bond between family, friends, and lovers.

    Emily Mills lives a life of opulence and luxury in Los Angeles but can’t shake the feeling that there is something more out there for her. It isn’t the picture perfect life her social circles expect and she knows something is missing. Unwilling to let happiness be a distant wish, she boards a plane to chase her dreams of becoming a lawyer in New York City. It doesn’t take long for her past to reappear with her former best friend from college, Jake Bradford. Knowing the feelings she’s held for Jake all these years, she still tries to convince herself that she isn’t worthy of any sort of love from him. Conceding to a fraction of her desire, Emily strikes a deal with Jake to become steamy friends with benefits. Soon her passionate bond with him turns out to be way more intense than she expects and she finds herself wishing her emotional scars didn’t rear their ugly head and destroy everything she’s worked for.

    Can Emily forgive herself and those who have hurt her in the past to become the person she knows she can be? Or will the roadblocks in front of her cause her to make the decision to run like she’s been doing most of her life? Book 1 of this thrilling new 3-book series will leave you panting for more and cheering for second chances.

    High-spirited horse trainer Jessica Stanson stumbles into the perfect job on one of the most elite ranches in Montana.

Jessica has to prove herself to him on the ranch, and also try to penetrate his armor to get to the man inside. Michael Carven is a man who has left a difficult past behind him, and now works at his dream job raising horses under the Montana sky. But he knows that the past has a way of coming back to him, and soon enough, it does. A wave of violence hits the nearby small town of Riverside, nestled deep in the mountains, as a cunning serial killer preys on the population. Against his will, Michael finds himself both drawn into the case and coming to care for his independent new trainer. And if having a killer on the loose wasn't enough, his two worlds collide when Jessica becomes the only material witness in the case. Before it is over, Michael and Jessica will put everything they know and hold dear on the line to catch a vicious, cunning killer – and to protect each other as well.
