Hello, readers. My name is Kara Cochrane. Elaine told my and my husband's story in her book Her Kind of Man. She got a new review last week, a wonderful review. The reviewer said, 'The author did a great job of pulling me into the story, emotions and all.' You can read the whole review at http://juliesbookreview.blogspot.com/2012/07/elaine-cantrell.html?showComment=1342991898073#c5808076132893185602 Elaine said you'd leave a comment for Julie, the reviewer, she'd pick one name on Friday and send that person a free PDF copy of her latest book Never Trust a Pretty Wolf.
Today, I 'd like to share a picture of my red dress with you. Red is one of my favorite colors because it makes me feel happy. LOL. It doesn't hurt that red makes my eyes look bluer and suits my hair and complexion. Here's the dress. I just love it. It has a pretty cutout on the back.
Ross insisted that I buy the dress to wear to a party at my sister's house. I really didn't want to go because at the time Kelly and I weren't getting along too well. You see she stole my fiance Brandon from me and then married him. Here's an excerpt to tell you about that party.
By the time Ross finished the afternoon milking, the
temperature had fallen to several degrees below zero, and the weather report
called for snow. Kara had turned up the heat and lit a fire in the living room,
but the house still felt chilly. She heard the back door open and shivered as a
cold gust of wind blew around her ankles.
“Ross? Come and have some
coffee to warm you up.”
Ross washed his hands at the
kitchen sink before he kissed her. “It’s bitter cold out there.”
He sat down at the kitchen
table and waited for Kara to fix his coffee. She set it in front of him and took
a seat beside him. “It’s too cold to go out tonight. Let’s skip Kelly’s party
and stay home.”
Ross ignored her as he
cradled his hands around the warm cup. “What did you buy to wear?”
“I got a red jersey dress,
but didn’t you hear me? It’s too cold to go out.”
Ross hesitated. “If anyone
besides Kelly was giving the party I’d agree with you, but, baby, you have to
go to this one.”
“But, Ross, I don’t want to
go.” She set her coffee on the table with a thump. “Kelly stole her house from
me. I don’t want to go there as a guest.”
Ross’s face tightened. “What
you don’t want is to see Brandon and Kelly happily married, right?”
Kara recognized a kernel of
truth in what he said, but she’d die before she hurt him by admitting to it. “I
can’t lie to you. It hurt when she took Brandon, but I’ve got you now. Things
are different.”
“How are things different?”
Kara drew circles on the
table with her finger and refused to face the emotion flaring in his eyes. “Well,
you know. We’re married now. We’re making a life together.”
“Sit on my lap,” he directed
as he took her hand and pulled her around the table. “I like the idea of
sharing my life with you.”
“Aren’t you afraid your
mother will see us cuddling again?” Kara teased.
“No.” And to emphasize his
point he kissed her.
Kara rubbed his shoulders. He
did have great shoulders. “I haven’t thanked you for what you’re doing to the
house.”
“I want it to be nice for
you. It may not be what Kelly has, but I want you to be as proud of the house
as I am of the cows.”
Kara kissed the side of his
face. “I did mean to ask you about something.”
“What, honey?”
She settled herself more
firmly against him and nuzzled her face against his. “Don’t you think we should
add one more bedroom too? If we had a boy and a girl, we’d need three bedrooms.
Then what would you do for an office?”
She felt the muscles in his
shoulders and thighs go rigid. “You’re not…?”
