Fiction is just that – fiction. You may pull from your life experiences, stories from others, weird Uncle Zeek or a bar-freak named Bite Me. But in the end, what you have created is a new world which only exists on the pages of your book. Poetry, on the other hand, is all about reality. At least, that’s how it has always been for me. Poetry expresses the angst of growing up, the loveliness of an autumn afternoon, the anguish of death, the joy of a newborn child. If you don’t go for poetry that’s okay. You can hit the “get me outta here-the woman’s nuts” button.

Locking Horns
High school comes back to haunt Alexis “Lexi” Cunningham when she finds herself doing community service in Charles Town, West Virginia at Harlan “Buddy” Beckett’s cattle ranch. Buddy was the school trouble-maker she had no time for. Now she has to make time for him--100 hours of time to be exact.
Buddy Beckett’s favorite fantasy thirteen years ago was arrogant, unapproachable Alexis Cunningham. Much to his delight, she’s gotten herself into trouble with the law and her retribution includes cleaning stalls in his barn. Quite a come-down for the girl who considered herself better than everyone else in high school.
Thrown together in one crazy situation after another, Buddy and Lexi discover that life can toss some pretty big cow pies into the ring--including the big “L” word, Love.

A fun, romantic tale, check out LOCKING HORNS." ~Jennifer, Romance Review Today. See full review here."
Locking Horns" is a fun, fast…….cannot-be-put-aside read.” The Long and Short of It Romance Reviews. See full review here.
Locking Horns was a FIRST PICK from Night Owl Romance
…..loved the comical mishaps that were scattered throughout the story and on numerous occasions I laughed so hard at Lexi's antics. I think anyone who picks this story up will agree that the story was well worth the money spent.
Other great reviews from great authors –
"If you enjoy funny, sweet, and sexy modern romance, you'll love Locking Horns by Marilyn Trent!"
USA Today Bestselling Author
~Susan Donovan
Move over Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Marilyn Trent scores a super 10 in her debut romantic comedy Locking Horns. Lexi Cunningham and Buddy Beckett certainly do lock horns, always have; but two angels-in-residence and a delightful little calf are determined that those horns are intertwined—and right quick. What they do to get this mis-matched couple together is a page-turning romp of pure delight. If you have room in your suitcase for one special romantic comedy this summer, make it this one.
~Barbara Cummings, award-winning author of A Killing on Church Grounds and Fortune's Fire.
"Locking Horns is laugh out loud funny. Sassy and fun with plenty of sizzle'
~Maggie Toussaint,
author of House of Lies
Locking Horns is an outrageously funny, thoroughly enjoyable premier romance. I personally consider it a "don't miss" read and a real keeper! I can't wait for more offerings from this highly talented author. Linda Morelli, My Shelf Reviews
