Finished for Review: Showdown at Southfork by Celia Yeary

Title:  Showdown at Southfork; Wayback, Texas Series
Author: Celia Yeary
Catagory: Contemporary Cowboy
Word Count:  98 pages
Heat Level: Sensual
Published by:  The Wild Rose Press

Blurb: Marla Ellington inherits an abandoned town on ranchland near Wayback, Texas. When she arrives to claim her property, and finds Cody Matheson sitting on the porch of the dilapidated honky-tonk, her temper flares hotter than her pistol. Anger blazing, she settles in for a showdown.

Cody’s only goal for the week is to win the bull-riding event at the Saturday night rodeo. But when Marla receives an anonymous threat that forces her to leave town, Cody finds himself smack-dab in the middle of a mystery. ’Course, catching a criminal and lasting eight seconds on a bull are easy compared to winning the love of the feisty, strawberry-blonde beauty who wants nothing to do with him. Now it's his turn for a showdown.

Sunday Words of Encouragement November 8, 2009

Our Pastor reminded us today the God WILL do a New Thing in us! The enemy wants you to focus on your past, your mistakes, your guilt. God wants you to forget the past and focus on letting Him transform you and do a new thing in you! IS 43:18-19

A Verse for today:
2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Pray for strength to forget the past and courage to trust in being a new creature.
