Book Description

May 15, 2001
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. Romance author Michelle Garrison is on a mission to learn more about the American West. Her books are no longer selling and her editor has given her an ultimatum--learn what cowboys are really like, then write the next bestseller. Tag Martin is desperate for a bride. If he doesn't marry before his 40th birthday, his grandmother will sign away the deed to the ranch he's worked and managed for his entire adult life. Coop Jones has been Tag's sidekick since Tag was barely kicking. Almost 80, he's been pining for the love of Tag's grandmother since she was only 17. An avid romance fan, he's concocted a fantastic plan to stage an MOC--a marriage of convenience for the uninitiated--in order to save the ranch for Tag. Lenore Martin at 78 is a widow with a mission. Get that grandson married and his hard-headed cowboy sidekick to realize she's not too old to romance. There's sizzle left in the old gal yet. Add a little amnesia, a few white lies, a flop-eared dog, the requisite white stallion and a love too hot to handle, and you've got a rowdy romp on the wild side with COWBOY IN MY POCKET.

Review

Love at first sight endures in this magical adventure that will leave the reader entranced between alternate gasps of pain and sweet connection. The language is especially poignant when describing the appearance and inner embrace of both the land and its struggling, determined ranchers. One can feel the magic that has drawn so many adventurers out west, where the roads and grassy ranges seem limitless and the heart is free to shed its false veneer. Enjoy every page of this wonderful, funny, and endearing novel, which is sheer delight coming from this writer's talent. ~ Viviane Crystal for The Write Lifestyle

Kate Douglas CAN write. Her dialogue is spiffy and the book is so full of clichés it's funny. Ms Douglas has dreamed up some fabulous characters also, including Michelle/Lee Stetson and Tag, of course, but also the foreman, Coop and grandmother Lenore... now there is a real love story. Coop and Lenore have been in love for over 60 years... unrequited. ~ Judith Rippelmeyer for Romance Reviews Today

Kate Douglas has written a category-type romance to redeem with laughter some of those trying experiences authors have with editors. Take a look at this goodhearted dig at every Western romance cliché on the books, up to and including the love scene on horseback. It's worth a chuckle or two. ~ Lynn Coddington, "Romancing the Tome" Contra Costa Times

More About the Author

I've been married for almost forty years to a terrific man who puts up with the idiosyncrasies of life with a writer. We raised two really great kids who are now wonderful adults with terrific spouses--and they've produced six grandchildren for us. ALL perfect, of course!

I currently write for two Kensington imprints with my long-running Aphrodisia erotic romance series Wolf Tales (which includes the Sexy Beast anthologies I-VIII) and the new erotic Dream Catchers series, as well as The DemonSlayers series from Kensington Zebra and coming in 2013, a new series called Spirit Wild. This one will follow the lives of the second generation of Chanku shapeshifters, beginning with Lily Cheval's story in TO LOVE A DARK WOLF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parody or Not? Your Choice, November 29, 2001
By 
Pam Ripling (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cowboy in My Pocket (Paperback)
Either way you'll be delighted with this romantic comedy from Kate Douglas. This book traipses lightly through all the romance novel cliches, from amnesiac-bride to cowboy-hero-desperate-to-save-the-family-ranch, yet manages to satisfy both the hard core romance reader and pundits alike. Sexy, bouncy and maybe even a little rowdy, COWBOY is an entertaining, quick read you won't want to miss. If there is a sequel in the works, I'll be the first to buy it.
