"Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity" by Rachael Anderson

NEW RELEASE and GIVEAWAY
Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity
(Meet Your Match Book 3)
by Rachael Anderson


Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity is the third book in Rachael Anderson's Meet Your Match series. Also available: Prejudice Meets Pride (read my blog post), Rough Around the Edges Meets Refined, and Meet Your Match (The Complete Series).


  
This book blast and giveaway is brought to you by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.


Description
Home from college for the summer, Samantha Kinsey steps into her role as nanny for her two favorite little charges. But when she finds herself playing chauffeur more than playmate, her summer outlook quickly turns from fun to bleak. That is, until she drives the girls to a family-owned ranch and meets Colten McCoy - a genuine, hard-working cowboy, who’s as set in his ways as he is handsome. Although he claims he doesn’t need any fun in his life, Sam’s determined to help him find it. But she’ll soon discover that cowboys are about as easy to train as wild mustangs.
Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity is about an adaptable girl and a not so adaptable guy. It’s about learning to accept people for who they are and realizing that sometimes who they are is exactly who they should be.

Praise for the Book
"Loved it! Another great clean romance from author Rachael Anderson." ~ Inspired Kathy
"I really enjoyed this one! I've been looking forward to this story for awhile now. I was excited when I saw that Rachael was writing a series, I love a series like this where we can see favorite characters get their own books and stay in the same setting that we fell in love with in the first book." ~ Kathy
"This was such a fun book, but it also had some depth to it. I enjoyed seeing the dynamics between the characters and seeing them encourage each other and compromise and sacrifice for each other. The further I got into the book, the harder it was to put it down. It was great to become reacquainted with characters I loved from other books, one of the great things about reading a series. And reading this makes me want to go back and reread the others in the series." ~ Karen

"Prejudice Meets Pride" by Rachael Anderson

EXCERPT and GIVEAWAY
Prejudice Meets Pride
by Rachael Anderson


Prejudice Meets Pride is the first in Rachael Anderson's new Meet Your Match series. Coming soon: Rough Around the Edges Meets Refined and Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity.


Prejudice Meets Pride is currently on tour with I Am a Reader, Not a Writer. The tour stop here today for an excerpt and a giveaway. Please be sure to visit the other tour stops as well.


Description
After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off with the offer of a dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin Grantham, her handsome new neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.
Fun, compelling, and romantic, Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn’t afraid to show him that he doesn’t. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.

Excerpt
“This box is getting power, so it’s not a power issue.” Kevin was at the control box, checking it out. “Are you sure you programmed it right?”
“Yes,” Emma said crossly. Did she really not come across as someone with a brain? “I do know how to read instructions.”
A hint of a smile appeared on his face. “I’m sure you do.” He paused, as though trying to think of another reason her sprinklers weren’t working. “I’m assuming you turned on the stop and waste valve, right?”
Emma bit her lip. He’d assumed she’d done that, which meant any intelligent, logical person would understand what he was talking about. But Emma had no idea what a stop and waste valve was or why she’d need to turn it on. She’d never rented a house with a yard and didn’t know much about sprinklers. The house had water, why didn’t the yard? It didn’t make sense.
The corner of Kevin’s mouth pulled up, and he shook his head as though he couldn’t believe Emma was that clueless. He scanned the garage once more then strode forward and grabbed a rusted, metal T-shaped tool that hung between two nails. He carried it out into the front yard, squatted down, and pried off a green lid in the front corner of the grass. Then he plunged the end of the tool down, fiddled with it for a moment, and turned it slowly to the left.
Emma watched in fascination. So that was the stop and waste valve. Huh.
A spurting noise sounded, and little black tubes popped up all over the front yard, spraying a small amount of water only a foot or two in diameter. The girls squealed in delight, but Emma frowned. That wasn’t right.
“What the—” Kevin spluttered, jumping off the grass and onto the driveway. His hair and shirt were drenched, and no wonder. A tall fountain of water shot from the ground in the far corner, landing in the place where he’d just stood.
