This book made my laugh out load, it made me cry and it also made me facepalm when the MCs where ridiculously stubborn.
Sterling is the rookie in the pro league of bareback bronco riding.
Shooter is the 3 time WC in bareback bronco riding. He is also a legacy with all that entails.
They meet the first time after the NRF in Las Vegas and let me tell you they start out hot. What they don't know then is that a couple of months later they will be rivals that somehow turn into lovers. Because these 2 have chemistry.
I love the fact that I went through all the emotions when reading this book. I laughed and giggled many times. Luckily for me I was home alone because otherwise my sanity would be in questioned. Mostly because I talked out loud when one of the characters did something stupid or whenever Shooters dad entered the page. I don't know what it is about parents being stupid that get me so mad.
And yes I cried multiple times, that I did. Something about how Ashley writes certain scenes just hit me in the heart and I felt the hopelessness and dejection the characters felt, mostly Shooter. I think parts of his story resonates with me on a personal level and it hit me that everyone doesn't have the support they need to make certain decisions. And yes I am being vague not to give spoilers.
Looking forward to the next book.
