Jake Landers is a rodeo cowboy and that's all he’s ever done--until a bull riding accident left him limping instead of riding. Buying a rodeo company is his chance to get back into the life he loves and lives for, but he needs Kristen Davis, the owner's daughter, to teach him the ropes. Sounds like a pretty easy task for a cowgirl charmer like Jake. The only problem is he left Kristen at the altar groomless about ten years ago.
Kristen took a break from college and work to help out her father’s rodeo company before heading back to Texas to begin the top executive job of her dreams. She hadn’t counted on her father selling the place from underneath her, and making her part of the deal. She absolutely couldn’t be in the same room with Jake, much less toe-to-toe, hip-to-hip, even cheek-to-cheek working together. It just wouldn’t work. Even though her mind was over Jake, the cowboy that broke her heart, her heart forget to fill that emptiness and still trembles when she is in the same room with Jake.
But Kristen will do anything for her father and her ailing mother, even if it is travel with Jake for the next five months. And Jake? Well, Jake just has to keep his word and not let secrets from the past bubble over because he’s still in love with Kristen.
Ms. Rustand will take you on the ride of your lifetime in Rodeo! Sexual tension crackles when Jake and Kristen come alive on these pages, and the entire book is set in the exciting backdrop of the sport of rodeo, which the author has depicted real-to-life. Kudos to the author for serving up older secondary characters in a love story that only time can heal. If that isn’t enough to get you to order this book, spice up your read with a mystery that keeps you wondering just who is trying to sabotage the rodeo company.
