Cowboy kisses is not for promotion, although we aren't at all averse to telling people about our books. Still, every once in a while, the contributors do need to let folks know what we have available. In my case, the rights to the entire Hearts of Owyhee series reverted back to me Dec. 31, so I'm reissuing the books--re-edited and with new covers. In one case, Much Ado About Madams, I wrote a new ending. Well, more like added-to.
So for this month, I'm hauling out all the books for you to see. Oh, that reminds me that I need to update my author page here at CK. Better get to it!
And don't forget that Friday only (Jan. 9, 2015), Much Ado About Madams is free! If you miss the free day, the book will be only 99¢ the next two days, so still a bargain.
Welcome to 1880s Owyhee County, Idaho Territory! It was a hoppin' place in those days, and I've brought you several fictional adventures, both novels and short stories. These can be read in any order, but here's the chronological sequence:
Hearts of Owyhee #1

5 Stars from Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews: "A story this good can only come from the imagination of Jacquie Rogers."

Low-down on Much Ado About Madams
Oh my stars! Suffragist Lucinda Sharpe can’t believe she was hired to teach a bunch of soiled doves their letters. And what about the handsome brothel owner? Only a despicable cad would engage in such a business.
Blast that woman! Reese McAdams didn’t want the brothel in the first danged place, and now a suffragist schoolteacher is stirring up the works.
Can she reform the Comfort Palace ladies without losing her heart to Reese? Will her secret past ruin her future?
"A romantic trip to the Old West stamped with Jacquie Rogers' special brand of humor. ~ Caroline Clemmons, author of Brazos Bride
"Ms Rogers' clever western romance, MUCH ADO ABOUT MADAMS manages to enrousingly engage her growing readership while reminding us of the difficulties faced by the brave women who tamed the American West. All that, and did I say entertaining!" ~ John Klawitter, author of The Freight Train of Love

NOR Top Pick
CTRR Award
Winner: RttA, Best Western Historical Romance Novel
5 stars from Laron Glover: Need a break? This is a FUN book (seriously--when's the last time you read a laugh-out-loud book?)! Turn off the iphone, kick off yer boots (or Jimmy Choos) and let Jacquie Rogers provide that mini-vacation you KNOW you need!
Low-down on Much Ado About Marshals
Rancher Cole Richards rescues his friend from robbing a bank, but is shot for his efforts, and now is a wanted man. His friend takes him to Oreana to see the doc, but Cole's mistaken for the new marshal!
Daisy Gardner is obsessed with solving crimes just like dime novel heroine Honey Beaulieu. But Daisy's parents insist she marry a farmer. Problem is, she can't be a detective if she's stuck miles from town. What better solution than to marry the new marshal.
Now Cole faces a dilemma few men have to face—tell the truth and hang, or live a lie and end up married. Either way could cost him his freedom.
5 stars from romantchick: Nancy Drew meets William Shakespeare ...hilarious characters, memorable colloquialisms, a clever, engaging plot and fine writing. All of which recommends Rogers' Much Ado About Marshals as everything to do about a charming, well-written romp.

"My biscuits are burning from this scorcher of a book. I will never be able to bake again without a wicked grin on my face.This is the latest installment of the Much Ado series, and it's as explosive as a stick of dynamite." ~reader Karla Eakin

Lowdown on Much Ado About Miners
Cupid’s bullet...
Hired gun Kade McKinnon interrupts a bank holdup and is shot by the teller, Iris Gardner, whose victims have a tendency to be the next groom in town. Will he be the groom this time?
Cupid’s bow...
Iris Gardner, a smart, independent bank clerk, fell in love with Kade when she was too young to know better. So when he walks back into her life and her bank, it's only fitting that she shoots him ... by accident, of course.
Cupid’s blindfold...
Kade doesn’t know Iris’s company is the one who hired him to escort a bullion shipment, and Iris doesn’t know Kade owns the security company, but they both know robbers are on their trail. Which is more likely to be stolen—the silver, or his heart?
"...if you love a good romance set in a fun western setting, and you love to laugh, you will love this book as much as I did!" ~ reader Terry Gregson

Hearts of Owyhee #4
by Jacquie Rogers
Amazon Kindle
FIVE STARS! "Jacquie Rogers writes some of the best Historical Romances on today's market. Not content to simply write a plot and toss in a lot of bed scenes and/or filler, this author adds in subplots, humor, action, suspense, and some endearing strays." ~Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews
"When you read a Jacquie Rogers book, you know you're in for a fast, fun ride!" ~BookwormForever
Low-down on Much Ado About Mavericks
Against the sweeping backdrop of the Owyhee Mountains, Benjamin Lawrence meets the one woman who'll rattle his derby forever.
Ben is a highly respected attorney in Boston, but in Idaho Territory, they still think of him as that gangly awkward boy called Skeeter. When he goes back home to settle his father’s estate, he’s confronted with an outlandish will and a fiery redheaded head wrangler, who just happens to be the sexiest female he's ever met.
Janelle Kathryn O'Keefe, affectionately called "Jake," can out-ride, out-shoot, and out-rope any cowboy on the Bar EL, which is why she was promoted to foreman. She's not at all amused that she has to teach an eastern greenhorn how to work cattle, no matter how handsome he is.
5 Stars from reader Claudia Stephan: "I can't even count the times I laughed out loud while reading this book. What are you waiting for? Give it a try!"

I just downloaded Much Ado About Madams so I could read the alternate ending. I have the full set but with the new covers and such a great price, I guess I could start collecting again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ali. Other than fixing a few typos, it's the same, so just go to the last chapter and there's a little extra.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the "new" Much Ado About Madams... too curious, I want to see the new ending. Happy for you, Jacquie... and I'm really, really, really anxious to read Much Ado About Mustangs. :)
ReplyDeleteI downloaded Much Ado Madams the other day and now need Much Ado About Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteWell I have the first two redos and now can read the MMaMadams again. Have the Mavericks also. Marshals and Miners and I will have all the new covers. They look great!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to check these out! I'm so glad I found you on the Author Explosion. Much Ado About Mavericks is right up my alley (they all are, but I love that her nickname is Jake!!!!)
ReplyDeleteWell heck ya I wanna free copy ;) I just bought the MAAMadams but since I don't have the others in the series, you can pretty much guarantee purchases if I get the free copy of MAAMavericks! After all, who wants to read a series without the ENTIRE series!? ;)
ReplyDeleteThey all sound like such FUN!
