5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me want to go to the Rodeo!, January 4, 2003

By	Ronica Rainge "Pinkie2326" (Upstate, New York) - See all my reviews

Rodeo By Roxanne Rustland
Jake Landers has been a cowboy since he was eighteen. The rodeo folk bull riders, bull fighters, clowns, announcers, producers and contractors are like a second family to him. Now thanks to an injury he is in danger of losing more then his chance to compete again.

Buying a rodeo company is his chance to get back into the life he loves. But he needs the former owner's daughter to teach him the ropes. But Jake has a problem the owner's daughter is Kristen Davis and Jake left her standing at the altar waiting for him 10 ten years before.

Now Jake has to convince her to travel with him for the next five months. He has to do this without breaking a promise he made and revealing dark secrets from the past.

This is my first read by Roxanne Rustland Ms. Rustland characters are very believeable Kristen was very strong despite the obstacles she faced being a a woman in rodeo and Jake was a charmer and a great leading man. Kristen is a bit stand offish at first when Jake walks into to her office and announces that he is the buyer of Mid-America Rodeo Company or MRC. As they spend time together Jake's natural charm starts to win her over again and they develop a beautiful relationship. I loved the supporting characters as well. Jake's younger brother Tucker who is eighteen and has a huge chip on his shoulder and Kristen's parents who after all the years realize how much they truly mean to each other Bud and Tina a couple who has been with MRC for years and last but not least Dixie a photographer and Kristen's best friend. There is even a secondary romance between Dixie and Clint a man she has loved all her life I enjoyed their story as well. This book is any all around good read and I look forward to more titles from Roxanne Rustland in the future

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic conflict!, April 23, 2001

By A Customer

Great conflict from the first chapter between Jake, an injured bullrider, and Kristen, a woman who has good reason to hate him. But Jake needs Kristen in more ways than one. Can he charm her into helping him without telling her the truth about their past? The story keeps the reader guessing. A fast, fun read.
