Handbags, Books...Whatever guest author Lynda Rees - A Handbag of a Cheerful Color and her book The Bourbon Trail

This mint green purse is a favorite of mine because it’s a cool, cheerful color, has just enough bling to not be boring, and weighs almost nothing when empty. I hate heavy bags because of my bad shoulders and back.

This one is a charmer.

THE BOURBON TRAIL, BOOK 9 OF THE BLOODLINE SERIES of romantic suspense novels about horse country, rural Kentucky where thoroughbreds and bourbon are essential parts of the culture.

When her wealthy distiller lover is murdered, Eva Roberts and her dad, Tony Rizzo, are suspects. Their possible involvement hinders her daughter, Chloe’s love affair with beau, Deputy Leo Sanders, in charge of the case. The killer hungers for new blood, and looks their way.

 “I tell you, Leo, it was hilarious watching Gavin and Mom together. Immediately taken with her, he vamped into flirt mode. She was impressed and went all sensual and seductive. You should’ve been there. I could hardly keep from laughing aloud. I expected one of them to spread tail feathers and do a mating dance any moment.” Chloe slapped her leg laughing. She and Leo watched over Cy and his friends crawling through a huge maze of brightly colored obstacles and tubes. Loud children’s music piped from the walls, and garlic and onions ruled the air.

“Everyone deserves a chance at love. Eva’s a vital woman. I can imagine her dating a handsome gentleman. It might be good for her. Our parents are people too, you know.”

“I’m all for it. If she’s involved, she has less time for meddling worrying about my love life. I have nothing against her having a fellow. Dad moved on years ago. He’s remarried with twin monsters consuming every free minute of his life.”

Sour rumbling in her gut sprang to life. It always did thinking of Dad and his new, improved family. Everything was about them now. He only had time for the obligatory, occasional, distracted phone conversation with his oldest daughter. Chloe resented being tossed out like yesterday’s child.
