The long awaited release of Book 3 in the Oklahoma Nights series THREE WEEKS WITH A BULL RIDER is finally here! AMAZON  BN  KENSINGTON   iTUNES   BOOKSAMILLION   WALMART Because release days make authors crazy, and because Amazon ranks books that have more reviews higher than those that don’t, I’ve decided I’m having a spur of the moment giveaway to thank the first 35 readers who take the time to read the book and post their review to Amazon.com US during release week. What is this special thank you gift? The very fridge magnet Tara sees on Tuck and Becca’s fridge in the below scene in Chapter 4!
