HE'S NO PRINCE CHARMING
A new Southern Fried Fairy Tale from LuAnn McLane!
At sixteen, Dakota Dunn was America's Pop Princess. Now twenty-five, she's all grown up-and definitely washed up. She decides to head to her parents' lakefront retreat in Tennessee, fixing to write songs and transform her image from squeaky clean to kickin' country.
Turns out her folks have handed things over to sexy, if cranky, cowboy Trace Coleman - a former bull riding champion benched by injuries. He's none too happy about Dakota's arrival - and makes no secret of it. But though Trace is rough around the edges, Dakota feels a pull of attraction she can't quite shake. For all his brooding, Trace has an animal magnetism that may just lead Dakota to dig in her heels and hold on tight...

Don't enter me--I already HAVE RC!
Good morning, LuAnn! I'm really enjoying He's No Prince Charming so far. I haven't read Redneck Cinderella so I'm not sure how spicy it is, but HNPC seems a little spicier than your other mass market releases. Is this a new trend for you or am I just imagining it?
ReplyDeleteCongrats and goodluck!!!
ReplyDeleteJoni
This sounds like a fun read, as all your books are. Congrats. I loved the excerpt, what a fun opening!
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody! Yes, Lisa it's a little bit steamier than my other mass markets. And this one isn't in first person because I needed to have Trace's point of view in this book. I was worried that the humor would suffer but so far readers have said it has made them lol :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Keri! I'll be there and it will be nice to have the sale for Linda's store. I'll be at the KYRWA booksigning at the JoBeth in Lexington October 31 and at the Kentucky Book Fair in Frankfort Nov. 7th
ReplyDeleteEmmanualle, thannks so much! I hope you like Trace Coleman... he is one hot cowboy but with a vumnerable edge that makes a girl want to hug him :-)
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way DeNita is going to have a very fun announcement about a fan club just for my readers. I am so excited! (we will have to create a handshake) hahaha
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - stay tuned for the fantastic fan club news - btw, save your receipts for the book to get some exclusive goodies - hint, hint nudge, nudge, say no more....
ReplyDeleteHi, LuAnn.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your opinion on book trailers? Do you think they help in book sales?
Thanks,
Tracey D
Oh, the fan club sounds like fun. I'm looking forward about the announcement.
Ohhh, I love your books and I'm so excited to be able to celebrate a new one with you. I'll be heading out over the weekend to get myself a copy!
ReplyDeleteHow much of your characters are pulled from people you actually know. Like do you have crazy relatives (like who doesn't) that you mold into fun secondary characters?
'He's No Prince Charming' - well I hope not. Where would be the fun if he was? Can't wait to read this. Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteNow this sounds fun. I mean who doesn't love a brooding sexy cowboy?
ReplyDeleteGroovy cover by the way. How much say do you get in your covers? And how many books do you plan in this series, so many come to mind. Bet you can't help but have a blast thinking up story lines!
Good luck with the book and I know it's going right on my to buy list!
Just leaving my email in case I get lucky. I forgot before.
