Fun and flirty Laney gives her life a complete makeover after her career and love life go down in flames. "Smart, sassy, hilarious." (New York Times best-selling author Claire Cook) After Laney Delaney gets unfairly booted from her designer job at a bridal boutique and catches her fiancé cheating, she drowns her sorrows in a Frosted Cowboy cocktail-and locks eyes with a sexy stud, Tom, at the bar. And then she meets hot fireman Jake and tepid-but-nice fireman Mike. Faced with a life full of fresh possibilities, Laney embarks on a new career path while stumbling through the L.A. dating scene. Laney is on the verge of reinventing her life and finding her true passion. But the journey is full of embarrassing bumps, hilarious mishaps and wrong turns. Can Laney find her way and learn to believe in herself-with or without a sexy hunk by her side? "A sweet, funny tale." - Publishers Weekly "The perfect escape from life's monotonous treadmill." - Readers' Favorite (5 Stars) Cheers! Keep tabs on the Happy Hour RomCom Series: Book 1 - Frosted Cowboy Book 2 - Love on the Rocks (with Salt) Book 3 - Tequila Slammer Interview with the Author What was your inspiration to write Frosted Cowboy? In a writing class, the teacher had us pull an adjective and a verb from a hat. I got frosted and cowboy. "What the heck am I going to do with that?" I thought, so I just wrote, "'I'll have a Frosted Cowboy,' I said to the bartender." I wrote two pages and turned it in; my teacher loved it and wanted more. So I developed it into the story of a woman whose Plan A didn't work out when she had never even considered a Plan B. At the time, my own Plan A was failing, and I had never really considered a Plan B. My story is nothing like Laney's, but I wanted to see where her story would go. As you'll see in the book, the Frosted Cowboy cocktail plays a part in Laney's story-and I even include the recipe for it at the end! It seems your book could fit into several genres. How would you categorize it? Laney Delaney is a lovable heroine who finds herself in ridiculous dating and work situations, so I'd categorize it as chick lit or romantic comedy. There's a light-hearted romance and of course some sex, but I wouldn't say this is a sexy romance novel; more a romcom. Anyone looking for love or could use a laugh will enjoy this book! How is Laney's story different from other chick lit? Wait, are you saying a chick lit heroine who catches her fiancé cheating on her and then loses her job and has to start over again isn't original?! I'm kidding of course. What sets Laney apart is she's sassy, yet not cool. I liked the idea of a fashion designer who was talented and creative, but not very fashionable. She's a fish out of water, but doesn't know how to jump in the pool, or even if she wants to. In business and in love, she's searching for her true passion and struggles to reconcile what she thinks she needs with what she thinks she wants. Do you have any more books planned? Yes. I don't want to say too much because I'm a bit superstitious, but I'm in the early stages of writing a book intersecting present-day lives of people who share a past. There might be a love triangle. And a little sex. And hopefully a lot of laughter. Thanks for reading!… (plus d'informations)

Frosted Cowboy is a romantic comedy story. Laney is thirty two and returning to the dating scene. She had been engaged for five years and had been dating him for two years before they got engaged. They were together seven years till he cheated on her. Now she has to learn to navigate the singles scene again. To weed out the good guys from the losers. ( )

What's a girl to do when her life is suddenly turned upside down, and she is faced with reinventing herself?

Frosted Cowboy is an entertaining chick lit tale that follows thirty-two year old designer Laney Delaney's journey of self-discovery and finding true love.

Author Charlene Ross weaves an enjoyable chick lit / romantic comedy tale set in Los Angeles that engages the reader to follow Laney on her journey of self discovery. There are enough drama, romance, crazy antics, and hilarious trials and tribulations that Laney encounters on her journey that will keep the reader in stitches.

I really enjoyed the witty dialogue and Laney's snarky sarcasm and dry sense of humor, she's a flawed woman who is realistic and easy to relate to. And when you add in the dramatic twists and turns surrounding the trials and tribulations that Laney encountered in the dating and professional areas of her life, you get a woman whose journey had a lot of crazy over the top mishaps, wrong choices, and poor decisions that had me shaking my head, but I couldn't help but cheer her on as she strived to pick up the pieces of her life and find her true self.

Frosted Cowboy is a fast-paced and lighthearted chick lit tale that is so much fun to read, it will make you laugh-out-loud, and leave a smile on your face.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book from the author / publisher in exchange for my honest review and participation in a virtual book tour event hosted by Chick Lit Plus Blog Tours.

Frosted Cowboy is an entertaining story of a 30-something woman, newly single and feeling restless with how she defines herself. This story details the adjustments she is either forced to make, wants to make, or inadvertently makes, as the result of "living life." Through these changes, the main character (Laney Delaney) moves from the plateau she's maintained for too long, to a new plain; one of personal growth, self-acceptance, and a newly-divined sense of satisfaction. I hope the author shares Laney's next steps in life, as Laney is no longer the person she was on page 1; and her journey made for an interesting read.

NOTE: I won and received an eBook copy of Frosted Cowboy through LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. The author's publisher sent the download link to me on a timely basis; in fact, by the end of that same month (Oct 2015). So, the delay in posting my review is all on me. ( )

I absolutely loved this book and the characters. From the moment I started reading "Frosted Cowboy", I didn't want to put the book down. As I was reading the book, I could picture what was going on in my mind. Laney's ups and downs in her personal live and business one too. Her struggles that make her a stronger person. She tries to be hopefully and positive, but at the same time worries and doesn't want to be hurt again, which does cause her to have some trust issues, but at the same time, she wants to choose love. She definitely isn't afraid to speak her mind. This book has comedy, romance, and is very entertaining. I did not want the story to end and I'm hoping that the story will continue and will flourish.
