About the book:
Jimmie Joe Johnson has spent
years living up to his hound dog reputation. If he can’t have the one female he
truly wants, then any female will do. When he isn’t off diddlin’ some female,
he’s practicing for pool playoffs, determined to get his pool team to Vegas.
Not only for bragging rights, but for the free trip to ‘Sin City’ and cash
prize that comes along with it.
Baylee Jean Brown has never
gotten over her first and only love, Jimmie Joe Johnson. So when she discovers
the truth about why he really ended things with her all those years before, she
sets out to get her man back. And no other thigh-parting female is going to
stand in her way. She just has to find a way to make him take notice of her,
considering he’d been avoiding her since that day her spell-threatening aunt
(yes, she does come from a long line of witches), threatened to place his
man-parts in a jar on her windowsill.
Avoiding Baylee Jean Brown in
a town the size of Possum Hollow is hard enough, but all of the sudden she’s
dressing sexy and aiming all that female heat in his direction. He tries to
convince her that she’s better off without him, but how can he expect her to
listen to reason when his own heart and body refuse to? Now his man-parts are
in a whole different kind of danger. Not because her aunt might still carry
through with her threat to pickle them, but because he knows no other woman
will ever do.
Recent Praise for His Redneck Girl:
"Irreverent, bawdy,
laugh out loud funny. The most hilarious book I've read in years--maybe ever!
In fact, I'm pretty sure this book is the reason the term "ROFLMAO"
was invented. If you combined Jeff Foxworthy's humor and Jason Stackhouse's
good looks and libido, you'd end up with Jimmie Joe Johnson, one smokin' hot
hound dog and one hilarious read!" -- New York Times bestselling author C.L.

EXCERPT“Hey there, Jimmie Joe.” A hand grabbed my ass through my jeans, giving it a firm squeeze.The cue ball missed the rack completely, bringing about another round of snickers from my teammates. I knew, even without lookin, who that sugar sweet voice and bolder-than-hell hand belonged to. Memories from the past came rushing back. Baylee Jean always knew just how to touch me to drive me wild.I turned to face her. “What the hell...?”My eyes bugged out just like one of them there cartoon characters. And I was pretty sure my mouth was hanging open, too, but I couldn’t say for certain. All my thoughts were centered on the female standing in front of me. My gaze slid down Baylee Jean’s curvy form. Where the hell were her bibs? They hid a lot more flesh than what she was wearing and the last thing I wanted to be at that moment was tempted.“Baylee Jean?” I choked.Smiling, she tucked her hands into the back pockets of the cut-off jean shorts she wore, drawing my gaze back up to the pair of tits ready to burst out of the Bedazzled halter top she had on. Big, round, make-a-man-want-to-nibble-on-them kind of breasts.Her smile widened. “You like? Randi Lynn gave me a few fashion tips.”The words—Hell, yeah! —ricocheted around inside my brain. Instead, all that came out was, “Does your aunt know you’re runnin’ around town dressed like that?”Her smile sagged for all of about two seconds, then it returned full force. She tipped her chin upward. “I’m old enough to dress like I please. And I decided it’s time for a new style.”It had been hard enough avoiding her all these years the way she used to dress. My gaze slid over her again and I bit back a groan. Now, it was gonna be damn near impossible.Bo let out an appreciative whistle. “I like your new style.”The rest of my team, nodding in agreement, stared at Baylee Jean like she was the last beer left in the cooler.“Thanks,” she said and then her gaze slid back to me. “You ain’t said what you think ‘bout my new look, Jimmie Joe.”I was thinking that her breasts would be way too easy to access in that top. And damned if I wasn’t tempted to run my hand up between those tanned thighs and feel the heat I knew existed there.“It looks good on you,” I muttered, trying like hell to tamp down my desire.Her lips parted, drawing my gaze. The tip of her tongue slid out, moving over her lips in a slow, deliberately teasing swipe that had my cock stirring beneath the fly of my jeans.Think of anything but how damn good she looks standing there, I told myself. The only thing guaranteed to come out of my diddling with Baylee Jean Brown was trouble.She reached up to run her fingers back through her long, silky black hair. Not the straight hair I had always seen her with, but hair that had been curled just enough to make it look soft and touchable.“I’ve been dreamin’ ’bout you,” she said with a sexy smile.Damned if her words didn’t send a bolt of sexual hunger straight to my cock. I didn’t wanna hear about her dreams. Didn’t wanna think about her sprawled naked across her sheets period!“Ooh,” Hit Man said with a grin. “Ain’t you a lucky son of a bitch? Havin’ a woman dream about you.”“Most women do,” I replied, shooting a cocky grin to my buddies. Besides, it wasn’t the first time a woman told me she dreamed about me. I couldn’t help that I was the kind of man female fantasies were made of.“Reckon so.” She moved to brush up against me like a cat in heat. “So watcha doin’?”I knew what I wasn’t doing. I wasn’t gonna give in to my thumping cock. And I sure as hell wasn’t accomplishing what I’d come there for—shooting pool.“Gettin’ drunk,” I replied stiffly as I set her away from me. I already had a laundry basket imprint on my ass. I sure as hell didn’t wanna add Callie Rae’s talon marks to my already-tender flesh.“So I can take advantage of you?” she asked, not the least bit deterred in her pursuit. “’Cause I would, you know?” she said, not giving me a chance to reply. And followed that up with another dart of her pink tongue across those glossy lips.Thump. Thump.Hearing her say those things, all grown up and dressed like that was threatening my sanity. With a curse, I tossed the bar stick down on the table and walked back to the bar. “Duffster, you’re up.”“Reckon I ain’t the only one,” he said with a grin as he walked past me.I looked down at the fly of my pants with a groan.“Not gonna take her up on her offer?” T-Bone asked as she reached for her beer.“Hell, no.” I was glad I didn’t have to ask a Magic 8-Ball that question, because I had a gut feeling its response would be—SIGNS POINT TO YES. And there was one big sign doing the pointing right at that moment, just below my favorite GOT BEER belt buckle.The front door swung open and Randi Lynn stepped into the bar.“Well, if it ain’t little Miss Smell-Good,” Skeeter hollered.“Better than smellin’ like a stinky ol’ fish,” she replied with a toss of her long black hair.He sniffed himself with a grin. “You mean my catch-of-the-day cologne ain’t makin’ you wanna strip me naked?”“Only thing I’d be strippin’ you naked for would be a bath.”“You offerin’?”She muttered something under her breath I’d have guessed was a curse or two if she were Baylee Jean. But Randi Lynn’s mouth was about as clean as they come. I reckon their momma had used up all the cursing genes on Baylee Jean.Ignoring Skeeter, who tended to set her off anytime they were near each other, Randi Lynn scanned the room. “Baylee Jean,” she said. “Aunt Callie’s lookin’ for you.”“Shit,” Baylee Jean cursed with a frown. Every bit the girl I remembered. Gotta love a female with a dirty mouth.“She’s drivin’ around town. I cut through the woods to warn you.”“I’ll be right out,” Baylee Jean replied, the frustration clear in her voice.With a nod, her sister turned and disappeared behind the closing door. Baylee Jean’s toe-peeping, red high heels clicked across the cigarette-butt-littered floor as she moved toward the front door. Halfway there, she stopped and turned.I might have had my back to her, but I knew she was looking my way and wanting what she couldn’t have. It was a family gift all us Johnson men had. E.S.P—Extra Sexual Perception. We knew when a woman wanted us.“One of these days, Jimmie Joe,” she said, “you’re gonna be servicin’ me again and only me.”She had no idea how close she was to being serviced right then and there. The second the door closed behind her, air whistled through my teeth.“Holy shit, Jimmie Joe,” Bo said, dragging a hand down over his bushy beard.I reached for my beer, taking several long swallows. Holy shit was right. The button at the top of my fly was about to give in to the pressure beneath it and launch across the smoke-hazed bar.What the hell was going on? Baylee Jean had barely spared me a glance for the past ten years—deservedly so. Now, all of a sudden, she was oozing honey and coming after me like a Bluetick coonhound fixing to tree a coon.My cock twitched. I wanted to be that coon. And despite knowing it was best to keep things the way they had been between Baylee and me, I had to admit I was real tempted to let myself get treed by her. Just once. Maybe then I’d finally be able to get her out of my blood—for good.
