Publisher Description
If you like your cowboys sexy, your heroines forgetful and your marriages convenient, this gentle parody of cowboy romances will leave you with a smile on your face and a sigh on your lips. Discover romantic comedy at its best in this captivating tale of a woman who finds her one true love and the cowboy hero afraid to give his heart.
Michelle Garrison is a prolific romance writer whose career is suddenly on a downslide. Her plots are boring, her writing is stale and her readers are fleeing for greener pastures. Desperate to revive her career, Michelle sets out to write a bestseller, and who could make a more worthy hero then a cowboy.
Force-marched to a dude ranch by her editor, Michelle soon finds herself trudging along a mountain road with no memory of who she is or where she's going, but thanks to the quintessential sexy cowboy hero, Michelle is saved. Swept up in her cowboy's arms, even Michelle can see the parody in her own story: "Everything she'd read about cowboys must be true, she thought, almost hysterically. No wonder they made such popular heroes in romances."
This is a revised author’s cut reissue—Cowboy in My Pocket was originally published by Hard Shell Word Factory in 2001
"Kate Douglas bills her romance as a 'gentle parody of contemporary category romance' but in doing so creates a delightful love story that proves there's a good reason why certain plot devices become cliches--they really work on an emotional level . . . the author might have thought she was poking fun, but the romance reader has the last laugh with this sparkling romantic comedy!" --Gerry Benninger for ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE
Customer Reviews
Unpredictable!
Knowing that the hero and heroine will hook up, was no bearing on this book. There was no guessing the plot twists, or the ending.
As a city girl/author named Michelle attempts to gain insight into the Wild West, she gets into an accident and her amnesia gives her bits of false knowledge.
Tag is a cowboy through and through, but as he awaits the actress who is to play the part of his bride, he ignores his more nefarious intents- until he gets to know the strange woman who showed up just in time to pretend to marry him...
Can these two people get over everything that brought them together in the first place? Or is it just too late to change?
