A Tall, Dark Cowboy by Mackenzie McKade, Ellora's Cave
Lacy Mason's dream job didn't include waiting tables at the local cowboy bar but because of a very sick daughter, doctor's bills, tuition fees, she needed money so that was what she was doing. One night the most sexually appealing cowboy walked in the bar in the form of Wyatt Anderson. Lacy was done with cowboys, but what would one night of passion hurt? Until one night turned into more and Wyatt not only became a sexual release for her at night but a rock to lean on during the day.
Wow this book was so much more than sex. I found this book to be hot and sexy but also a deeply emotional story beneath. I must admit the cover of this had me looking twice at this book, and now with that new zoom feature at photobucket, "oh my those abs". Wyatt was just the sort of H I like in book. He's a cowboy, strong, sexy and a sweetheart. And Lacy was a strong h too.
New to me author- Mackenzie McKade is a new to me author. She took an erotic book that could have been about just sex and added lots of elements to make an outstanding storyline. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books by her.
First full length e-book- This took me a little longer than a print book to read because I get a lot of my reading done in bed just before I go to sleep or just before I get up and the only place for me to read e-books is my pc. The other thing I found difficult is that I'm so used to having the books right beside me as I'm writing the review and can easily look up correct spelling of names and such. I have other full length e-book novels that I'll try in the future and I'm sure any difficulties I find is because this is a new concept which I'll just get used to. I found some great advantages to reading an e-book too. I don't have to set the book aside when answering the phone or IM. When I read an e-book I only have one page on the screen so I can find my place easier. I can adjust the writing size to what is comfortable for me. With a print book I need both hands, one to turn the page and one to hold the book. But with an e-book I have one hand free to say eat.

This one
is on my to be bought list. I am looking forward to reading it.
Sounds very good
I take it I can get it in print, too?
If I could put an eBook on my iPod, I'd wouldn't mind having an eBook but right now, I don't think I can. I may look for this one in print.

Ebooks....
One plus for ebooks is the instant gratification...and I tell you that is a HUGE plus, since my eTBR rivals that of my paper TBR.
A minus for ebooks is when I go outside with my kids or to the park, I am slightly wary of taking an electronic device out that could get easily damaged. So usually I will take a paper book.
Glad you are enjoying exploring the ebook world!
This book looks like a book I would enjoy....
Take Care,
Tammy

I hope you all find this book in either ebook or print, either way it will be well worth it.
Tammy- I think there can be a whole list of pros and cons in the ebook vs print book debate like ebooks can't be traded but I find some ebooks to be cheaper
