About this ebook

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.

The day Logan McCord was going to surprise his long-time girlfriend with a marriage proposal was the day he walked in on her having sex with some clown. He drove the 30 miles from Spring Hill Texas to San Antonio to get drunk and try to forget. In the bar, there is also a pretty woman – so not his type! – also trying to drown her sorrows. They’re both pretty drunk, and she’s the one who suggests one night of sex with no strings attached, no names; nothing but sex. When Logan wakes up the morning after, she’s gone, but she has left him an antique pocket watch, and Logan becomes very suspicious: is she a con artist? What does she want from him? He will find her! Reese Stevens, the mystery woman, has few things left on her bucket list; the hot cowboy was one of them, that’s why she left him her most precious possession: her beloved grandfather’s gold watch. When her doctor tells her that there had been a mix-up in the files and she is not going to die, Reese has to find her hot cowboy and retrieve the heirloom, whatever it takes! BLAME IT ON THE COWBOY is definitely not your run of the mill one-night stand novel! Even if it’s not apparent in my review, the premise is completely outrageous, that I wonder if a lesser author would have made it work, but trust Delores Fossen to pull it off superbly! In spite of the totally over-the-top beginning, it all feels real mostly because the characters are so relatable and complex. Hilarious in places, the story is multilayered and the plot quite complex: there are more twists and turns than a roller coaster ride! And amidst all the shenanigans and the perilous situations, there is an absolutely lovely romance. Ms. Fossen is a true artist, because BLAME IT ON THE COWBOY could have been an epic fail, but it is so meticulously plotted, the characters have such depth, that the whole thing feels real, and the drunken sexual attraction slowly develops into true love in credible fashion, and especially according to a realistic timeline. BLAME IT ON THE COWBOY is wildly funny, suspenseful, but it is the beautiful romance that will melt your heart: entertainment at its finest! This book also features a short story by Ms. Fossen, COWBOY UNDERNEATH IT ALL. It is also set in the McCord Brothers’ world, in Spring Hill Texas, and stars a friend of Lucky McCord’s. Captain Kane Bullock, after 10 years in the Air Force, comes home and finds out that his long-time girlfriend Violet is set to wed another, a High School buddy of his. However Violet’s little sister Eliza is all grown up, and to protect Kane from the shock Violet’s engagement, Eliza has told a little fib, which quickly snowballs… COWBOY UNDERNEATH IT ALL is a totally charming story where insta everything works perfectly. Delores Fossen knows exactly just how far to go, in the precise timeframe given the context and the length of the book, to make the whole thing credible. Obviously, things happen quickly, but no suspension of disbelief is required, as the justifications for the sequence of events make perfect sense. I really enjoyed COWBOY UNDERNEATH IT ALL; it’s a quick read that will leave you smiling! A Book Obsessed Chicks Review Team Selection

I love this author and how she makes me react, be it laughing, crying cursing the characters or swooning at the romantic gestures, she always pulls a strong reaction from me. The plot of this novel was original, while still maintaining the essence of a small town romance. I love how vivid everything was. Fossen's beautiful descriptions combine with her intensely fulfilling storytelling for an unforgettable tale that you can't miss out on. And the characters that step forward to take center stage here were unforgettable as well. The inner turmoil and self doubt that they both feel is so hidden by their public persona that the mix was definitely intriguing. And the chemistry between them? It was off the charts and had me drooling. These were fantastic characters that I didn't just enjoy reading about, but also loved getting to know. I really enjoyed this entire series but this novel was above and beyond my favorite. It can easily be read on its own or as part of this fantastic series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
