Why should you download it, you might ask? I know, I know—there are a gazillion free books floating around out there. What makes mine special? We all think are books are special, right? That's why we love them. So let's see if I can come up with a few reasons Asking For Trouble is unique. And, I'll give you some book snippets to keep you interested. (I hope!)
1) My hero is a cowboy who makes his living with a chainsaw.
Only one thing in the state of Texas was louder than the whine of Cole Matheson’s chainsaw—the red-haired demon child he called a nephew. Easing a final cut into the cedar antler of the life-sized moose, he killed the engine, pushed safety glasses up beneath the brim of his weathered tan Stetson, and turned on the ladder to stare down at the baby squirming in his brother’s grip.
“How do you stand that racket?”
The screaming stopped, leaving blessed silence, as the ten-month-old grinned a mostly toothless smile and waved pudgy arms.
“What kind of question is that coming from a man who makes a living with a chainsaw?”
2) My hero uses duct tape to fix his problems—okay, lots of guys do that. But how many use it on a baby?
She
raised her hands, palms out. “I change enough diapers during working
hours—where I’m paid. Go ahead.”
His
pleading look had probably charmed plenty of women out of their panties.
Miranda crossed her legs.
“I
suck at it. Please.”
Drawing
in a breath, she silently called herself a sucker, but finally relented.
“Fine.” Laying Jackson
on his back, she slid down his little blue jeans—and stared in utter disbelief.
Silver duct tape wrapped around the disposable diaper in a diabolical pattern.
Maybe if she had some scissors… Lifting her chin, she met Cole’s gaze and
raised one brow.
His
cheeks reddened. “The diapers kept coming loose and falling off. Duct tape
fixes everything.”
3) My hero proposes with a purple plastic ring.
The
door slapped, and his boots thumped. When she opened her eyes, he was kneeling
before her with his fist held out. Slowly, he turned it over and opened it. On
his palm rested a purple rubber circle with yellow stars stamped into it.
Miranda pressed a hand against her mouth to keep from laughing.
“It came off one of Jackson’s toys, and I stuck it in
a drawer to keep him from eating it.” Cole took her hand and held it tightly
between his. “I love you more than chocolate bars and chainsaws. Will you marry
me and make me the happiest man in Texas ?”
Does Miranda say yes? Download the book to find out. Did I mention it's free Feb. 18-22. LOL Just click HERE.

Brenda and Ally,
Once in a while I have a clever moment. LOL Glad you downloaded. Enjoy!
What a coincidence, Jannine - I came across your book on Freebooksy, checked it out and loved the blurb, so I downloaded it - hours before seeing this blog! Lots of success with it. On my TBR pile and will leave a review.
Thanks, Glenys! Yep, I've been making the rounds, posting everywhere about this.
Any book with chainsaws & duct tape has to be good. :) Got mine.
Thanks, Diane. Enjoy!
Now that's funny....and duct tape DOES fix everything! I have a bad habit of saving blog posts to read a few days at a time, but thankfully I didn't wait too long to grab your freebie. Thank you! :-)
Glad you got it, Leah. Enjoy!
