Tougher in Texas is a contemporary romance novel written by Kari Lynn Dell. The novel is the third entry in Dell's Texas Rodeo series. Like its predecessors, the novel is a Western romance featuring characters who are very involved in rodeo. The male protagonist, Cole Jacobs, is a rodeo producer who has Asperger's. The female protagonist, Shawnee Jacobs, is hired to work his rodeos as a pickup man (a rider on horseback who helps protect the rodeo competitors).[1] Dell's son was diagnosed with Asperger's in kindergarten, and she envisioned her hero as an adult version of him who was not diagnosed until adulthood.[2] Publishers Weekly lauded Dell's character development, finding the hero to be "a most appealing and believable protagonist".[1] BookPage agreed that the characters were well-developed, and noted that "the rodeo setting rings with authenticity and vibrant color".[3]Tougher in Texas was a finalist for a 2018 Romance Writers of America RITA Award for Best Long Contemporary.[4]Notes1. ^1 {{citation|title=Tougher in Texas|newspaper=Publishers Weekly|url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-4926-3200-9|accessdate=April 3, 2019}} 2. ^{{citation|last=Dell|first=Kari Lynn|title=Tougher In Texas: The gift of Understanding|newspaper=BookPage|date=August 1, 2017|url=https://bookpage.com/behind-the-book/21666-gift-understanding-romance#.XKUmZZhKi70|accessdate=April 3, 2019}} 3. ^{{citation|title=Dislike at First Sight|last=Dyer|first=Lois|newspaper=BookPage|date=August 1, 2017|url=https://bookpage.com/features/21669-dislike-at-first-sight#.XKUqVphKi71|accessdate=April 3, 2019}} 4. ^{{citation|title=Kari Dell's Tougher in Texas is finalist for RITA Award|newspaper=Cut Bank Pioneer Press|date=March 28, 2018|url=http://www.cutbankpioneerpress.com/cut_bank_pioneer_press/news/article_5aa80868-320c-11e8-9d16-0f3ac6a30051.html|accessdate=April 3, 2019}} 2 : American romance novels|Contemporary romance novels |
