Excerpt

Gwen climbed over the center console and sat in the passenger seat.

“That was rather efficient.” He chuckled, then adjusted the driver’s seat for his tall frame and got in. With the side mirrors positioned to his liking, he set the truck in reverse and then glanced at Gwen and said, “Feel free to time me.” His drawl was low, rich, and a beat shy of devil-may-care.

Just like that, another unfortunate truth landed like a bug against the windshield. Gwen liked her cowboy neighbor up close even better. But no cowboy, steely-eyed or otherwise, made her pulse hopscotch out of bounds. At least not in years. And not until now. Clearly her return home had her more out of sorts than she realized. Gwen frowned.

“There a problem?” he asked.

“Just realized we should have placed a wager,” she mused. “I could use an easy win.”

“It’s not too late.” One corner of his mouth lifted and hinted that there was much more beneath his brooding exterior.

And now she was intrigued. Bad thing that. Gwen had one priority—healing her injured horse and getting back to competing on the rodeo circuit, not making connections new or old. She eyed him. “What are you willing to lose?”

His laughter was instant and sharp. “I can’t recall the last time I lost a bet.”

Gwen couldn’t recall the last time a cowboy caught her interest so thoroughly. She hummed before responding. “Sounds like you are afraid you’re going to lose.”

“Coffee,” he said. At her raised eyebrow, he added, “The loser gets the winner coffee in the morning.”

Another run-in with her neighbor. Her pulse did that uncharacteristic hopscotch thing all over again. “Deal,” she said and pulled out her phone, opened her stopwatch app and counted him down.

My Thoughts

Cari Lynn Webb is another new-to-me author. I was excited for a chance to "meet" her through reading Falling for the Rodeo Cowgirl. I received the large print paperback copy.

When I was an early teen, we lived in the panhandle of Texas, which is where my best friend introduced me to the love of horses, and where I experienced my first rodeo. Ever since, I have been intrigued with rodeos. Another of my interests is veterinary medicine. Falling for the Rodeo Cowgirl covers some of these favorite topics. Add in a single dad with an adorable little boy, and I'm sold!

I enjoyed watching the relationship between Hank and Gwen grow, even if they each seemed overly preoccupied with their growing attraction for each other from the start.

If you enjoy contemporary fiction, with a touch or romance and a dose of faith, you will want to add this one to your (ever-growing) TBR list.

I received a complimentary copy. These opinions are my own.
