Every cowboy has a wild side—all it takes is the right woman to unleash it…
All of Logan McCord’s carefully laid plans erupt the day he walks in on his would-be fiancée getting…well, not so carefully laid. Tonight, just once, Logan is acting on instinct. And that instinct is telling him to say “Happy to oblige” to the cute stranger looking for a no-strings fling with a Texas cowboy.
When chef Reese Stephens made her bucket list, she mistakenly thought she had weeks to live. Not that she regrets her one-night-stand with the gorgeous rancher. But she does regret leaving an heirloom watch as a parting gift. Tracking Logan down is easy. Walking away again is another matter. Because Reese’s crazy past and Logan’s battered heart are no match for the kind of chemistry that could turn one night into the start of a passionate lifetime.
Review
BLAME IT ON THE COWBOY is a very enjoyable, entertaining and well-written mix of romance, passion, sweetness and drama, with lots of hilarious moments. Honestly, I would love to know what was going through Ms. Fossen’s mind during her research for this book because she apparently takes her research very seriously. Some of the descriptions were so funny, I found myself erupting into laughter several times, which makes this a winner, in my opinion.
After eight years with his girlfriend, Logan McCord’s next step was to make it official by proposing but that didn’t go so well. Drowning his sorrows in some top-shelf liquor led to meeting a stranger who rocked his world for one night, only for her to turn up in his town a few months later. For a man of his wealth and connections, she could be a problem but he can’t resist her.
Reese Stephens is in Spring Hill, Texas to retrieve an important item she had left with Logan when she thought she was dying, a misconception that led to a bucket list and some of the best sex of her life. However, for someone who never stays in one place long enough to plant roots, she’s not in a hurry to leave Spring Hill and Logan is a big part of that. But her past soon catches up with her and she has to decide if she’ll stay and fight for Logan against the woman who betrayed him, or if she’ll let her past drive her away from what could be her future?
Reese may not be the woman for Logan, but she is what he needs and he’s not going to let her past or the return of his scheming ex run her out of town.
This town is off the chain and these people left me in tears from laughing so hard. With clowns and sketchy characters up to no good, and the entire town up in their business, it felt like you needed a flow chart to keep up, but in a very funny way. And did I mention Reese’s best friend? She needs her own book, stat!
I have been looking forward to this book since I finished the previous one and I can say that it exceeded my expectations. The good thing is it can totally be read as a stand-alone, so I highly recommend grabbing a copy right away!
About Delores Fossen
When Delores Fossen was a child, she used to sneak around and collect fingerprints, hair strands and fibers left by family members and guests. At age eight, she solved a crime. Well, sort of. When someone nibbled off the ear of her chocolate Easter bunny , she searched for clues and soon discovered that her sister had chocolate bunny breath. With that "case closed," Delores believed she’d discovered her calling--she wanted to be a Texas Ranger or FBI agent. But after realizing that she just wouldn't be very good at chasing down bad guys, she opted for a slightly different career path--she creates fictional cowboy cops and other law enforcement officers. Writing romantic suspense is something she enjoys immensely, and it has earned her the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice and Booksellers Best Awards, and she was a finalist for the prestigious Rita.
Married to an Air Force colonel and the mother of four children, Delores has lived in England and all over the U.S. She’s had a variety of careers and jobs: an Air Force captain, a special ed teacher and a rehab counselor. None was as fun or challenging as the time she’s spent as a stay-at-home mom. She still collects fingerprints, hair strands and fibers every time she dusts or vacuums, which isn’t very often.
Any book that can make me laugh out loud is definitely a winner!
Thanks for being a part of the tour.
