Title: A
WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE
Author: Lea Hart
Pub. Date: April
13, 2020
Publisher: Entangled: Brazen
Formats: Paperback,
eBook
Pages: 150
Rick
Blakely is enjoying being back on the family’s Texan ranch. After ten years in
the Navy SEALs—and another working through the damage they caused—he’s grateful
his days are no longer filled with chaos and danger.
His peace
and quiet ends the second the new vet pulls up to the ranch. Emily Conner has
driven him up a wall since grade school, and their fights are legendary in
these parts. Fate must be laughing at his expense—something he’ll be discussing
with the man upstairs just as soon as he can tear his eyes away from Em’s very
fine ass...
When Emily
agreed to go out to the Blakely Ranch, she prayed fervently that her former
nemesis was: A) not in residence, B) mute, or C) ugly as sin. Rick, of course,
is none of these things, and she’s torn between wanting to throttle him and
tear off his clothes to see whether what’s underneath is just as hot. Which
will not happen. The man is nothing but trouble.
The town is
taking bets. Rick and Em are either going to end up in jail or in bed. Likely
both. How many bottles of tequila, visits from the sheriff, and family meddling
it takes to get there is a whole other question...

Interview with Lea:
Hey Lea!!
First I want to say welcome to Two Chicks on Books I’m glad you could stop by
for a chat! A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE sounds AWESOME and I can’t wait for everyone
to read it!
For the readers: can you tell us a
little bit about the A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE and the characters?

What are you working on now?
The next book in the Blakely Brother Series that features Weston, the
oldest brother.
Were any of the characters in the book
inspired by people from your real life?
Rick and Em are a product of my imagination, but my grandparents owned a
ranch and I spent a ton of time there growing up. A lot of what I loved about
that life is reflected in the characters.
Who was your favorite character to
write? What about your least favorite?
I love Rick’s mom, Ms. Celeste. She’s a no nonsense, woman and is
inspired my grandmother.
And I’d say my least favorite character to write was Nash. He was a
broken soul who could’ve had another life had he made different choices.
What is your favorite passages/scenes
in A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE?
More weight disappeared, and he let
out a laugh. “Missed the hell out of you Stitches.”
“That’s hard to believe since I
haven’t heard a word from you since you left for college.”
“I knew if I kept in touch, I never
would’ve been able to stay way.”
Confusion clouded her eyes and he knew
the sooner he could manage the overdue explanation he owed her, the
better.
“Now that were going to be around one
another from time to time, I hope we have a chance to get reacquainted and talk
about what happened all those years ago.”
Emily stroked the horse’s nose and
then wrinkled her own. “I’m more than happy to leave the past where it is. I
also don’t know that I’m interested in keeping company with someone who used to
tug my pigtails.” She pulled her long braid over her shoulder and twirled the
end. “You also insulted me within a minute of meeting and told me I looked like
a horse.”
“I can’t believe you remember that.”
“It would be impossible not to, since
it was the first thing you ever said to me. My sweet little-innocent heart was
all but crushed by your mean words.” Emily pressed her hands to her chest and
sighed. “It’s a miracle that I survived the experience.”
He rocked back on the heel of his boot
and let out a chuckle. “You hauled off and punched me in the stomach and then
told everyone I smelled like a stinky cow, so you weren’t crushed for long.” He
lifted her silky braid. “I thought your honey blond hair was the prettiest
thing I’d ever seen, and my horse was my favorite thing, so...”
She blinked. “You trying to tell me
you were being nice?”
“No, since I hated your know-it-all
attitude and prissy ways and wanted nothing more than to put you in your
place.” Sensing a shift in the energy, he leaned in and heard her sharp intake
of breath. “Do you still know best, Emily?”
Her eyes widened…and darkened. Yes. Countless things had
changed in the years they spent apart, but the current of energy they’d always
seemed to share was the same. Maybe even a bit more potent, if he wasn’t
mistaken.
After a long, tense moment during
which Rick seriously contemplated kissing the hell out of that sweet mouth,
Emily smoothed out his shirt and stepped back. “Not as often as I used to.”
“Well, that’s good news.” Maybe he’d
finally get the chance to prove to her that he knew best. About them. He let
her braid slip through his fingers and then traced the small scar on her chin.
“I never thought you’d follow me into that fallen down shack to see if the
ghost sightings were true.”
She lifted her chin. “You suggested I
wasn’t brave enough to confront the apparitions.
Had I known the
floor was all but rotted, I would’ve kept my big mouth shut and stayed home.”
She tagged the lead rope off the tie bar and held it out.
“Live and learn, that’s all we can
do.” He took the rope she offered and felt the mare press her head into his
hand. “Patience, girl. All the good things in life take time.”
Emily gave him a world-class eyeroll
and he threw her a cocksure smile in response, knowing the time he’d spent
getting his mind and soul back together had been worth it. They were two hard
surfaces that ground against each other, creating the type of resistance that
produced a spark capable of ignition.
Friction.
Sometimes it worked in their favor and
other times, not so much.
What kind of research did you have to
do for the story?
There was a fair amount of research done for this book, just like all my
others. I delved into the history of large ranches in Texas as well as which
groups were running drugs through South Texas.
Who is your ultimate book boyfriend?
Mark Frazier – the first
hero I ever wrote.
What inspired you to write romance?
I wanted to change my life and decided that my second act would be spent
doing something I loved. I feel blessed and appreciative that I get to sit down
at my desk every day and weave tales of love.
