If you follow this blog, or my website or Facebook page, you'll know that besides books and writing, my other other passions are horses and dogs, and of course the countryside. So when I found out about fellow Brit author Zara Stoneley's latest release, 'Country Affairs' I just had to invite her to my blog as part of her Brook Cottage Books tour. Here's some more about the book.

COUNTRY AFFAIRS
'A great treat for readers who love their books jam-packed with sexy men and horses.' Bestselling author Fiona Walke. It’s time to get back in the saddle with the follow up to the deliciously naughty Stable Mates!
Swapping her spurs for stilettoes and becoming Lady of the Manor is not on loveable, but scatty, Lottie’s life plan. Nor does she have the faintest idea how to rescue it from rack and ruin.But with footballer’s wife Sam on the case, determined to bring glamour to the manor, and fun-loving eventer Rory egging them on, nothing can possibly go wrong, can it?
Todd never forgave himself for abandoning Lottie on a Barcelona beach, but now he’s tracked her down and he’s ready to kiss and make up. With a roving eye and his roguish grin he soon has more than one girl in Tippermere going weak at the knees, but why is he really there?
With wedding plans going awry, unexpected pregnancies and relationships starting to look rocky, will Lottie ever be ready to accept her inheritance and help Tipping House Estate move into the 21st Century?
Let's find out more about the super sexy hunks in her book. Over to you, Zara:
Here come the men! Country Affairs
The great thing about sportsmen
is that you can guarantee they’ll be fit, they’ll probably be pretty
competitive and chances are they will love a challenge. And all the men of
Tippermere pretty much fit the bill – so which one would you go for? (Check out
my pinterest board for pics!)
Rory Steel – is a sexy three day eventer. He’ll
do anything for a dare, is a bit of an adrenalin junkie and is the one man who
is guaranteed to make Lottie laugh. He could be the guy for you if you like a
challenge and having fun, and don’t mind his terriers and horses. Don’t expect
him to sit still for longer than absolutely necessary though, like Tilly the
terrier he’s always got a glint in his eye and is looking for trouble. And bear
in mind his taste in girls might be similar to his taste in horses - he like
them flighty, brave and slightly unpredictable, like Flash.
Todd Mitchell – is an Australian surfer who abandoned
Lottie on the beach in Barcelona. He prefers the surf to the green grass of
Cheshire and is far too tall for the Tippermere quaint cottages. If you’re not desperate for a happy ever
after (he’s not got a great track record), but do like wall to wall fun then
Todd could be the one for you. And you are guaranteed that his fit body comes
with an all over tan (not something you often get with a horse rider), as well
as a six pack! With the exception of Lottie, he’s always had a thing for
perfectly groomed blonds (girls not horses!), but he’s open to offers.
Mick O’Neal - dangerously sexy, deep thinker,
Irish charmer, he’s ruggedly handsome in a dark and mysterious way but often
has a twinkle in his eye. Do you like a guy who’s perceptive and protective?
Mick could be for you, but he’s not been lucky in love and with his damaged
heart might be a tricky customer. A farrier, not a competitive rider, he’s
still a wonderful horseman so steer clear if you don’t like horses and the
country life. But can any girl resist that steady gaze, and those warm, firm
hands?
Dominic Stanthorpe – is a true aristocrat. He’s always
striving for perfection, and has a strong sense of duty. This man is
undemonstrative, but totally loyal and will do anything for the woman he loves
(which can surprise even him). As a dressage rider he dislikes shoddy
behaviour, flamboyance and surprises. If you like control and the best things
in life then Dominic could be your perfect man, if you’re a tantrum type of
girl then he might well be off at a gallop.
Bestselling author Zara Stoneley lives in deepest Cheshire surrounded by horses, dogs, cats and amazing countryside. When she's not visiting wine bars, artisan markets or admiring the scenery in her sexy high heels or green wellies, she can be found in flip flops on the beach in Barcelona, or more likely sampling the tapas! Zara writes hot romance and bonkbusters. Her latest novels, 'Stable Mates' and ‘Country Affairs’, are fun romps through the Cheshire countryside and combine some of her greatest loves - horses, dogs, hot men and strong women (and not forgetting champagne and fast cars)!
She writes for Harper Collins and Accent Press.

Hi Mary, thanks for stopping by. Yes, it is a great cover isn't it - says it all really!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Choccy looks gorgeous by the way x :-)
DeleteSorry not to have replied to your comment earlier Zara. It was a pleasure to feature yo on my blog - and thanks for the compliment on Choccy, I'll tell him. :) He is a real little sweetie, a 'rescue' terrier but the sweetest little character. He had been shut up for two years and had no idea how to react to other dogs and horses but he's slowly getting used to them. Animals are such a joy!
ReplyDeleteJust found out I won the paperback copy in the 'Rafflecopter' - fantastic, thanks so much, Zara, can't wait to read it. Congratulations to Caroline, too!
