The Granger siblings thought they’d left their ranching days behind, until fate sends them home to Wrangler’s Creek, Texas and into the passionate arms of those they’d least expect
It’s some run of bad luck when Sophie Granger loses her business and gets left at the altar all in one day. Desperate to not appear jilted, Sophie begs Clay McKinnon, Wrangler’s Creek’s smoking-hot police chief, to pretend they’re having an affair. But Clay refuses, leaving Sophie to retreat to the family ranch to lick her wounds.
Hoping to leave his disreputable past behind, Clay moved to Wrangler’s Creek for a fresh start. But that looks unlikely when Sophie’s ex-fiance shows up married to Clay’s impulsive kid sister. Overcome, Sophie resuggests the affair but this time for real. Clay is hesitant. City-girl Sophie isn’t usually his type. But he can’t deny the desire she elicits or his yearning to have her plant her cowboy roots for good.
Review
If you love sweet small town romances served with a large side of humor and drama, then Delores Fossen is your go-to author! THOSE TEXAS NIGHTS has everything you need in an entertaining romance: humor, passion and drama, and is the start to what is sure to be an amazing series.
Sophie Granger may be the princess of Wrangler’s Creek but nothing in her life has been royal lately. Ditched by her groom at the altar and discovering that their company is on the brink of ruin is a double whammy of huge proportions. Apparently being seen as a cheater is preferable to being pitied for being jilted, which leads to an outrageous offer from Sophie to the new police chief.
Clay McKinnon moved to Wrangler’s Creek for a new start and to keep an eye on his sister and even though he turned down the offer from Sophie, the town isn’t done gossiping about them and his reckless younger sister just turned up married to Sophie’s ex.
So much for Sophie’s life plan and Clay’s fresh start. Between them, they have a very full plate to deal with but interfering family and friends and the town grapevine are working overtime to complicate things for them.
I love Delores Fossen’s writing and every time I read a book by her, I can’t help but wonder how she comes up with her stories and characters because they are everything from quirky to crazy but always entertaining. I laughed so hard I was crying and snorting as I read this book and the dialogue and quips were sometimes snarky but always hilarious.
With a delightful cast of secondary characters, a quick moving story line and great dialogue, THOSE TEXAS NIGHTS is a great way to start the year.
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.
Having a sense of humor running through a romance novel is definitely a big plus for me. Thanks for being a part of the tour!
