Interview With Author Shantal Sessions

.

What inspired you to write this book?

While my son and his wife lived in England, they had talked to several British people who fantasized about coming to the American West to experience the landscape, ride horses, or even drive an old truck down a dusty road. And that was it! I dreamed up a guy who wanted to escape the expectations of high society and breathe free in the mountains of Colorado. Of course, he falls in love with a rodeo queen!

I’ve also wanted to write a sweet, swoony, wintery romance for a long time. I adore Christmas, so it was an absolute no-brainer to try my hand at writing a love story that unfolds during the holidays. I tried to create iconic holiday festivities and events wherein my characters would have breakthrough moments. It was a joy to think about what I love about winter and Christmas, and weave a little holiday magic into a what I hope is my sweetest, swooniest romance yet.

Tell us about your main characters. What makes them tick?

Isabelle Pomeroy: The leading lady in Christmas with the Cowboy. If you’ve read Caught by the Cowboy, you’ll know she is Emmy Jo’s best friend and the reigning Miss Rodeo Colorado. She is the daughter of a rancher and has spent her life working with animals. As a veterinarian student, she has helped many of the poorest ranchers in Primrose keep their animals healthy. She is the golden girl of this small ranching community, smart, sweet, talented, and hardworking, but never takes time for herself (yes, James figures this out;) She’s a bit of an over-achiever because her love language is helping others. It’s no wonder everyone in Primrose adores this small-town girl. She spent the last year touring the state as Miss Rodeo Colorado, and comes darn close to winning Miss Rodeo America. But her tenure is over and she’s anxious to come home to her family for Christmas. Helping at her family’s ranch is a welcome distraction from the heartache left by a handsome Brit who left without so much as saying goodbye.

James Davenport: The leading man in Christmas with the Cowboy. He’s a Brit, dashing and handsome. As an aristocrat with a law degree from Oxford university, he’s destined to spend his life working as a solicitor in father’s London law firm. Except he can’t stand the thought of being strangled to death by all the family and social expectations. He needs to breathe free. He visits his former Oxford flat mate, a lawyer in Denver, and begins building a life in Colorado, trying to become a true-blue cowboy.

The more enamored he becomes with Isabelle and the West, James can’t digest the idea of living in London for the rest of his life, and stays in the States. There is one emergency trip back to London last summer, but he’s been in Primrose since then (unbeknownst to Isabelle). His father reminds him often that he’s a spoiled prat who doesn’t have the luxury of “finding himself.” There are too many family responsibilities to take such a selfish view of life.

And that’s just a taste of the tension that awaits you in Christmas with the Cowboy.

Caught by the Cowboy

.

A Cowboys and Tiaras Romance Book 1

.

A disillusioned rancher, a runaway rodeo queen, and two old flames who could burn them both…

.

After his father lost their ranch in a high-stakes poker game, Will Hawkins fought for his job as general manager at the Hayfork River Ranch. With his inheritance now in the hands of a California billionaire, he’s determined to make sure it doesn’t get developed into luxury ranchettes and shopping centers. And try to forget about the woman who betrayed him and broke his heart.

Emmy Jo Jackson is hiding from her ex-fiancé and a raging social media storm. As a rodeo queen vying for the state title, it’s only a matter of time before he finds her and tries to take revenge. She seeks refuge in the Hayfork River Canyon where she hopes the beautiful vistas and wide-open spaces will allow her a chance to steel her resolve and train at the ranch for her upcoming pageant.

Will is resigned to his life and bent on not getting distracted by another pretty heartbreaker. Emmy Jo is determined not to let a grumpy cowboy who’s easy on the eyes derail her from chasing her dream. Except spending time together on the ranch weakens their defenses, like a rail fence coming undone, and pretty soon they’re both questioning their previous notions. When their pasts come-a-calling, can Emmy Jo and Will round-up the lies and see them for what they are? Or will the love that blossomed on the ranch be lost forever?

Praise for Shantal Sessions–

.

“Caught by the Cowboy combines the charm of a rodeo queen, Emmy Jo, with the rugged allure of Will Hawkins, a ranch manager who should have been the heir. Both have their guard up, but the chemistry between them is electric as they move from antagonists to swoony kisses. The wit and banter as Emmy Jo and Will challenge each other leads to some hilarious outcomes.The author includes a gorgeous ranch that I’d like to go visit, as well as authentic rodeo details. Add their despicable exes causing more havoc, and you’ve got a book you can’t put down. Recommended.”
~Jen Peters, award-winning author (Black Rock Ranch series)

“Sessions does a great job of pulling the reader into life on the ranch and shows the dedication it takes to become a rodeo queen. Caught by the Cowboy is a captivating, authentic, small-town romance that will keep readers turning pages well past their bedtime.” ~Jill Burrell, Author of the Best-selling Finding Providence Series

“Caught by the Cowboy is everything a sweet romance should be–complete with vivid characters, flirty banter, and sizzling chemistry.” ~USA Today Best-selling Author Kimberly Krey (Sweet Montana Bride Series)

“The chemistry between Will and Emmy Jo is palpable, as their blossoming relationship forms the heart of the story.

Weaver
