A reclusive introvert and broken bronc rider meet with one goal--saving a former champion bronc being sent to slaughter.
Introverted and insecure, Jody Colton would rather not deal with the world, or the betrayals that come with caring too much. But when she sees Cowboy, the horse stolen from her, in a slaughter pen, she’ll stop at nothing to save him.
Betrayal embittered them both--can love heal the hurt and help them save a horse named Cowboy?
Joe Roberts was on top of the rodeo world until a bronc named Cowboy ended his career. Appalled that the former Bucking Horse of the Year is in a kill pen, Joe plans to say goodbye to Cowboy and move on—until Jody ropes him into a wild plan to save Cowboy.
Neither Jody nor Joe want commitment. They just want to save Cowboy. But when attraction and desperation morph into stronger feelings, can they risk the one thing they both blame for destroying them—can they risk love?
This is a sit by the fireplace on a rainy day type of read.
The broken-hearted Jody and the chivalry of Joe created in-depth characters that I related to immediately. I liked the simple, clear writing that never left me wondering where they were at or what they were doing. The story had a plot twist that kept me reading on to see if they would be able to accomplish their goal and if their relationship would grow and last. I could relate to Jody's extreme introvert flaws, but it made her real. I liked how they worked together on the common goal of trying to save Cowboy the bronc from going to the slaughterhouse and how that came with some interesting complications. This story had just enough romance to make it a sweet read. I really enjoyed it and will be recommending it to my friends.
