Hell on Wheels by Karen Kelley will hit book stores in June.
summary found on her site:
No doubt about it: Cody Carlyle is the hottest bounty hunter around with a well-deserved reputation for bringing in the toughest skips. If she’s learned one motto in this business-and in life-it’s this: never turn your back. Never give an inch. And never, ever offer your heart.
Fellow bounty hunter Josh Pierce has had his eye on Cody’s every luscious curve for quite some time. The hunky ex-undercover cop would love to show her that some things are worth believing in, things like the kind of ecstasy he’d happily show her in bed. Hey, fighting this kind of white-hot attraction is just wrong. So why not give in to a little Josh Pierce temptation? Why not share one amazing, toe-curling night of indescribable, head-scrambling passion and then walk away, no hard feelings? But the night they spend together is beyond amazing. It’s sheer bliss. Not that it could ever happen again. Could it?
What was supposed to be a one-time deal is quickly becoming a very tempting habit—one they could stop at any time, of course. Like after the next time. Or maybe next week—no rush. Suddenly, two bounty hunters who never believed in anything are open to everything, scared of it all, and ready to discover what happens when you go after the biggest catch out there… true love…
Something of a mix of standard here… bounty hunter, just one night of hot, steamy, burn the house down sex, scared of love… will be interesting to see what Kelley does with it.
I have her bad boy book out to read! STILL!
And can’t WAIT for Texas Bad Boys. —>
Her site is here and her blog here. Karen Kelley and Dianne Castell are two authors that will be guest blogging during Bad Boy Week! (more info to come!) 
It all sounds like great fun and hopefully we will have some nifty authors come play, answer some questions, do some contests and maybe get a few sneak peaks at upcoming books.
WoOT!
I feel like KK keeps writing the same type of book over and over. I keep reading – or more accurately, I keep collecting with the intent to read – but I’d like to see her do something outside of her little box for once.
What would you say is the book?
LOL I ask because looking them over yesterday, I don’t think I have read one yet. I just have them all!
Did you see the blurb I posted about the ones she is signed up to do? I wonder if those sound different. I think they are more up your alley, as I think they said something about being more on the ha ha side with a dash of paranormal.
I’ve never read KK, so I don’t know if Jay has a good point or not. But this post has intrigued me. Both of these books look great!
She seems to favor stories that feature characters in law enforcement – mainly the heroines, iirc. The heroines also seem to be similar to each other, much the way MJD’s heroines are all kinda the same. It’s hard to quantify exactly, just based on what I’ve read and the blurbs for the others, each story seems very similar to the others.
This is the blurb I was talking about:
from brava authors newsletter:
Karen Kelly has signed up to do three more Contemporary Brava’s. The first one is titled Double Dating With The Dead, a sexy romantic comedy where a psychic and a skeptic stay in a haunted hotel with two sex-starved ghosts. Visit authorkarenkelly.com for future info on her upcoming releases.
Don’t know… I hope to read her BB story next week and would like to try out HoW. Love to hear what anyone thinks who gets a chance to read it 😉
