Gutsy Jenna Jay Scroggs crusades to save a horse drawing a carriage in New York City. This is the beginning of her sassy attitude with the handsome blond Texas cowboy in a Stetson with the bluest eyes in the country. Little does she know this gorgeous guy is a bull rider and temporary detective pursuing this little waitress. Beauregard Cates is also owner of the Bramble, Texas "Hen House", a whore house of earlier days turned to a B&B. This is also the reason Beau has for keeping tabs on Jenna.

Because of Jenna's nose being in the wrong place at the right time, both she and Beau are kidnapped by a representative of the townsfolk of Bramble and returned home. The town has other ideas for Jenna. Beau treads lightly with women after being dumped by his fiancé after learning of his Lymphoma Cancer, refusing to take the chance it might come out of remission and return, leaving her alone. Thrown together and made to face her family and friends, Jenna needs to mend fences with her momma and settle her doubts at being different than her other siblings in looks and character. Things get dicey between Jenna and Beau as the secrets of her true heritage and his ties to the infamous "Hen House" come to light. Can Jenna find her roots and Beau take a chance on love?

FLIRTING WITH TEXAS is an extremely entertaining and amusing tale of a feisty little hellcat of a woman. Every turn of the page is an unexpected journey full of humor as well as emotion. FLIRTING WITH TEXAS is the second creation I have had the privilege of reading by Katie Lane but definitely will not be the last. Her writing is stimulating and doesn't allow the reader to put the book down. Even though this was completely different from the last book which was a Christmas novel, this one was equally wonderful and extremely well written.

Book Summary

YOU'RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME, COWGIRL On her own in the Big Apple, Jenna Jay Scroggs can handle herself when trouble arises. But when she tries to rescue a horse, the passionate do-gooder ends up on a runaway Central Park carriage ride with a hunky stranger. With his sexy drawl and well-worn Levis, Beauregard Cates is doing his darnedest to make Jenna homesick for the small western town she's spent years trying to forget. And it's working: She's dangerously close to falling head over boot heels for the rugged rodeo star with hair the color of moonshine. Beau came to the big city to escape his past and live life to the fullest. Yet the leggy blonde with eyes as blue as a western sky causes a real hitch in his giddy-up. So when the well-meaning folks of Bramble plot to bring Jenna home, Beau will need to convince her that she won't ever get Texas out of her blood - or one good-time, ever-lovin' cowboy out of her heart.
