Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: October 1, 2006

THE DESERT NEWS
Is Rattlesnake Ranch ready for prime time?

Stop the presses! Miss Hospitality herself, Meredith Bingham Turner, has been spotted bringing her unmistakable decorative flair—and delicious recipes—to Rattlesnake Ranch. Rumor has it she’s visiting her best friend, Karen, and helping to spruce up the Porter homestead. But I think there’s a reason she might be extending her stay: her best friend’s brother, the bona fide cowboy, Bucklin Porter.

Single dad Buck can be as prickly as an Arizona cactus if he thinks that you’re messing with his home—or with the daughter he adores. But even he has to admit that ranching’s been a hard road recently. Domestic goddess Merry might be the solution to all of Buck’s prayers…in more ways than one!

More About the Author

Chris Wenger has worked in the criminal justice field for more years than she cares to remember. She has a dual master's degree in Probation and Parole Studies and Sociology from Fordham University, but the knowledge gained from such studies certainly has not prepared her for what she loves to do the most--write romance!

Her first book, THE LADY AND THE COWBOY, a western historical, was written for beginning adult readers and was sold to Laubach Literacy. In 1998, it was chosen by the Publishers Liaison Committee of the Public Library Association's Adult Lifelong Learning Section as one of the "Top Titles for Adult New Readers."

One of the biggest thrills of her life was receiving "the call" from Susan Litman at Silhouette Special Edition in January of 2004 that they wanted to publish THE COWBOY WAY. Yeee-haw!!

THE COWBOY WAY was released in January 2005. Since then, she has published seven books. HOW TO LASSO A COWBOY will be released in July of 2011.

A native Central New Yorker, she enjoys watching professional bull riding and rodeo with her favorite cowboy, her husband.

This review is from: Not Your Average Cowboy (Silhouette Special Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

When fussy city-gal Meredith meets handsome cowboy Buck, sparks ignite. A classic city versus country romance with a fresh twist, NOT YOUR AVERAGE COWBOY is a great story sporting terrific characters and lots of laugh-out-loud situations. With her second novel for Silhouette, Christine Wenger once again delivers a top-notch read. In fact, if I were you, I'd immediately order a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I AM THE AUTHOR!!!, October 25, 2006

This review is from: Not Your Average Cowboy (Silhouette Special Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

NOT YOUR AVERAGE COWBOY is my second book--the first was THE COWBOY WAY. I just love writing for Silhouette Special Edition because of the "home and family" context. NOT YOUR AVERAGE COWBOY mixes humor with a fish out of water (the heroine) and a cowboy who is struggling to make ends meet, and his little girl who is troubled and desperately needs a mother.

Okay, I'm prejudiced, but I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK, so I gave it 5 stars! I hope you will, too. Give both books a chance!
