The Cowboy And The Lady Series #3
Texas Blonde
A Lady and the Cowboy Romance (#3)
After the dashing rancher rescues her from certain death, independent, petite Felicity Morrow has to admit she’ll never survive this wild frontier without a man at her side. And lean, mean Josh Logan is just the man she wants. He says he wants a sweet, mild wife—but one searing kiss tells Felicity he’s fooling himself!
After a long day in the saddle, the only thing hot-blooded Josh Logan needs is a hot bath, a warm meal, and a loving little lady who knows her place. But golden-haired Felicity Morrow is as meek as a dang bobcat! The thought of long Texas nights together tempts him enough to give her his name—but never his independence...not even for one unforgettable, sultry, Texas Blonde.

This middle of the road tone is not violent like a 'thriller' but unsanitized (NOT light like a 'cozy mystery'), is unflinchingly adult, serious, and dark.
Humour, romance, family, and compassion balance out the crime part of dear Victoria's unforgettable mysteries.

This review is of “Texas Blonde”, book #3 in the “The Lady and the Cowboy” series by Victoria Thompson. (Zebra/Kensington, October 1987). This review is of the ebook version of the book.
The book begins with the hero of the book, Josh Logan, a rancher, rescuing Felicity Storm, the heroine of the book, from several calamities (flash floods, homelessness, hunger). As they spend more time together, they become attracted to each other, become lovers and decide to marry. .We also learn about their respective histories. However, Josh is determined not to fall in love with Felicity.
Felicity and Josh fall in love, and get married. However, many threats, both internal and external, challenge their happiness.
In the end, the external threats are vanquished, the internal threats are discussed and addressed, and Felicity and Joshua have their Happily Ever After.
Upside: Ms. Thompson has once again written a very emotional book with likable, well-developed characters.
Felicity begins the book as a young woman with a transient lifestyle. She’s looking for security, stability and someone to love. She finds all of these in Josh. I liked the fact that Ms. Thompson gave Felicity a skill-photography-and allowed her to use it. Felicity began the book as a little girl; she ended it as a woman. It was great to see her growth.
Joshua is a slightly unusual hero in that he has white hair (it's a hereditary thing among Logan males). At first, all he cares about is his land. He tries really hard not to fall in love with Felicity, but realizes that things aren’t important if you don’t have anyone to share them with. Josh comes to realize that Felicity completes him and opens himself to loving and being loved.
The storylines take a lot of twists and turns that are very well-written and unexpected.
Downside: Not much, but Ms. Thompson uses the overused “Lack of Communication” trope in “Texas Blonde”. Some of the issues Felicity and Josh have could have been settled earlier had they actually TALKED with each other. However, as I’ve written before, if couples actually talked with each other, romance novels wouldn’t probably exist. So maybe it’s not a bad thing after all.
Sex: Multiple love scenes between Felicity and Josh.Ms. Thompson’s love scenes are not particularly graphic nor erotic.
Violence: Assault, attempted rape, battery, shooting and killing all take place here. The violence is not graphic.
Bottom Line: Readers who like slow-burn romances with a great payoff at the end will find much to like in “Texas Blonde”. It’s the best book in the”The Lady and the Cowboy” series. 4.87 stars.
Heroine: Felicity Storm, 18. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Photographer.
Hero: Josh Logan, 28. Silver/white hair (it’s a hereditary thing), gray eyes. Owner, Rocking L ranch.
Location: Prospect, Texas. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1867-1868.
Tropes: Historical romance. Photographer heroine. Rancher hero. Zebra historical romance.
