I think it's rare for an author to get photos like this, but Harlequin was featured on 20/20 a few years ago and MAVERICK WILD was one of the cover shoots shown.<br />

I missed the show but I was sent a link to their site that had photos and highlights. I wish I could remember the model's name! <br />

The woman in this shot is the cover director--clearly the woman is a genius--and I'm thinking this must be close to the final shot because it's looking a whole lot like the finished product!<br />

She and Ira Danvers survive off the land allowing tales of Mad Maggie to proliferate and protect her. When she finds a cowboy who's been left for dead in a blizzard, nursing him back to health opens her up to a broken heart. She can't have her cowboy and her privacy too. Garret Daines is a hard man to forget. Even his dog Boots tries to put the two together while cattle rustlers and her brother try to insure she isn't around to spoil their plans. </span><p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Tahoma,Arial;font-size:85%;" >Stacey Kayne gives us one of those tales of the best and worst of the old west. Honorable men like Garret and the Morgans are the kind of people who helped a young nation survive while despicable men like Gideon and Nathan only worked for their own power. This is a well-constructed tale filled with the flavor of the wildness of Wyoming. We get to see the beauty of being a cowboy and rancher in an untamed land through Garret's eyes as Ms. Kayne builds this man into a rarity in any time period. </span></p><p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Tahoma,Arial;font-size:85%;" >The relationship between him and the complex woman sometimes called Maggie, sometimes Grace, sometimes the endearment Magpie and sometimes Mad Maggie is powerful. Ms. Kayne presents well the fact that not everyone bases their relationships on what they see on the outside or what they can get out of them. The growth of Maggie's personality is a well done thing. Many readers may envy her the seclusion of the mountains! </span></p><p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Tahoma,Arial;font-size:85%;" >I hated to put this book down. There's suspense throughout with the hardships and villains who'll stop at nothing to get what they want. The romance of Garret and Maggie is always fragile as the solitude of the mountains constantly calls to her. This is a great read, easy to get lost in as Ms. Kayne weaves this tale into one that won't let us go. </span></p><p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Tahoma,Arial;font-size:85%;" ><b>Overall rating</b>: <img src="http://theromancestudio.com/images/5hearts.gif" border="0" /><br /><b>Sensuality rating</b>: Very sensual </span></p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Tahoma,Arial;font-size:85%;" ><b>Reviewer:</b> <b>Dee Dailey<br /><a href="http://theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/mountainwildkayne.htm">The Romance Studio</a><br /><br /></b></span>Stacey Kaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557616652275742668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615251205569499157.post-62020434585478711312009-09-12T14:51:00.000-07:002009-09-12T14:54:16.407-07:00Interview and Book Giveaway!Today I'm hanging out at Sapphire Romance Realm.

Fear for her life led her to flee and now this is the only way she knows to survive. Even to protect the sanctuary of her location, she knows she cannot leave a man to die in the snow, especially one of the few men to ever show her kindness. She must help him and with no other choice she brings him to her safe haven. Garret Daines can’t believe the beautiful woman nursing him is the one known as Mad Mag. She touches him as no woman has before and he knows he would do anything to keep her safe and in his life. Maggie has lived in her shell for so long that she is not sure how to react to this man who shows her kindness. Maggie’s past has not been filled with friendly people and now that past is coming back to haunt her and Garret may be the only one who can save her.</p> <p>Stacey Kayne will keep you on the edge of your seat as the plot for Mountain Wild unfolds. Maggie was a fantastic heroine. She had been dealt a bad hand in life and turned it into a winning one. Strong and very capable, she was a perfect match for Garrett. We met Garrett in a prior book and he grew into a sexy and compassionate man. It is these qualities combined with Maggie’s that allowed them to survive and thrive. Mountain Wild tells the story of two people who find each other under unusual circumstances and wind up with a love that is unusual in its intensity. Stacey Kayne’s books just keep getting better and better. Don’t miss this one. Be sure and pick it up and be prepared for entertainment at its best.</p></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Five Stars!</span><br /><br />Reviewed by Debby<br />Read full review at: <a href="http://cataromance.com/?p=2308">CataRomance</a>Stacey Kaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557616652275742668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615251205569499157.post-18982987792558968542009-06-27T13:46:00.000-07:002009-06-27T13:53:53.693-07:00Five-Book Review for MOUNTAIN WILD!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.com/2009/06/mountain-wild-by-stacey-kayne.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioriicRVYgyUyA0im82pM5n9wHtGh0iXIkFQCLWO6J44W9h2a0QsxtcG2-Haw4h7-NJB6gLrChyphenhyphenQEOjANzitXZkFubAkncQ5n8sEvrqycHjbU7dXTZED_yoReDUSFrHvHkFGls1wKvKe8/s320/LASR-5bookReview.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352112641571139842" border="0" /></a>"Garret Daines calls the wild and resilient Mad Mag of the mountains “My saving Grace”. She has always thought of him as her fair-haired Viking to be admired from afar. Theirs is a compelling story that surrounds the reader with a flood of emotions.<br /><br />In the blink of an eye thirteen-year-old, Margaret Grace’s (Maggie’s) life is changed from being the much-loved, pampered daughter of a wealthy father to being a person on the run to save her life. With harsh lessons learned from Ira, a reclusive trapper, Maggie survives and becomes Mad Mag dressed in a stinky bearskin coat, hat pulled low over bushy black hair and a hostile attitude that sends most people scurrying away from her.<br /><br />When she pulls the unconscious and wounded Garret Daines out from under a snowdrift, her world changes. Reluctantly, she hauls him and his dog Boots to her secret home in the mountains, knowing she is going against Ira’s teachings and making herself vulnerable.<br /><br />Stacey Kayne creates a riveting story with descriptions that make the reader shiver in the snow, shudder at the sadistic cruelty, and sizzle with the love scenes.<br /><br />Ira, the trapper that appears only once in the story is a major influence in the action. He taught Maggie to depend on no one but herself and to keep moving because she is a target standing still. The antagonist, Nathan Strafford, whose “death would have been a favor to gentle society” in Maggie’s opinion, is the epitome of a deranged person ruled by insatiable greed. Many other characters embody the best and the worst characteristics of humanity as they influence the lives of both Maggie and Garret.<br /><br /><em>Mountain Wild</em> bustles with happenings we expect in a historical western but it also has startling twists that make the reader catch her breath and rush along reading to get Maggie and Garret out of precarious situations.<br /><br />Stacey Kayne touches the senses and satisfies the heart with her poignant style and captivating characters.

Can she trust the love of one man enough to stop being afraid and allow herself to be bound to him, to be moored by those all too often fragile ropes of love and trust, family and loyalty? For Garrett it means finally understanding that life without those bonds is only a shadow of a life. But is he willing to take an emotional risk that will sacrifice his independence and saddle him with obligations for the uncommon woman he’s come to love.<br /><br />Stacey Kayne has written a sizzling western romance with a cowboy hero that will make any woman’s heart flutter and a heroine whose inner strength will have readers rooting for her. Memorable characters, an adventure-filled plot, authentic dialog and emotional punches combine to make this western romance a super read. The opening scene alone will have your heart pounding with excitement.
