Book Tour for Cowboy Heat Anthology (GIVEAWAY)


Who doesn't love a group of sexy and rugged cowboys.....  Today I'm bringing you a whole bunch of them all in one anthology, Cowboy Heat edited by Delilah Devlin.  Keep reading to get a taste of these stories and hear from one of the authors, Cheyenne Blue, as she discusses the rush of polo in all it's forms.  Make sure to leave a comment on this post for the chance to win a $10 Amazon GC and fill out the form below for the chance to win a slew of other great gifts too!

When I lived in the UK, I once attended a polo match.  It was in Sussex, at the very swanky mansion of a well-known media mogul.  For an afternoon, I mingled with the super rich, let my sandals sink into manicured lawn while I sipped French champagne, and watched the grooms, riders, and polo ponies perform.  Polo is definitely a sport for the rich.  Expensive and highly trained ponies – two or three for each rider – and a whole fleet of staff.  Visible money, more money than I’m likely to see in a lifetime.  
The match itself was fascinating.  It was incredible to see the horsemanship close up and admire those ponies—those shiny, pampered ponies, with their speed and sense of the game—do their stuff.
The Australian sport of polocrosse is a world away from the manicured lawns of Sussex.  The game is a fast and furious blend of polo and lacrosse, using a net instead of a mallet.  The players are bush people. If you can sit a horse you can have a crack at it, but the best players are as skilled as any professional polo player.  Most of the horses are stock horses, but they are skilful and speedy, and love what they do.  Polocrosse is played on dusty arenas in the middle of nowhere and there isn’t a champagne flute in sight.
Polocrosse is the inspiration behind my story “Cowboy Downtime” in Cowboy Heat.  Traditional cowboy downtime usually involves the three Fs: flirting, fighting, fucking.  So when Jack challenges Mel to a bet, you just know which of those three Fs the winner will choose.
