Prize Money by Celeste Castro
3.0
Prize Money presents a very interesting western setting, featuring the rodeo world, barrel racing and bullfighting. It was a new kind of atmosphere for me, which intrigued me a lot and made me want to read this book in the first plase. The slow burn romance is between the two main characters - Toma, a equestrian stuntwoman, and Eva, champion of barrel-racing - and I found it very sweet.
The writing style is quite pleasant and smooth, which made me read the novel rather quickly. All in all, though, I think it lacks a solid depth of the characters from the psychological point of view, which made them all look pretty flat and none of them particularly impressed or excited me.
It was my first time reading a book by Celeste Castro, and while I didn't appreciate everything from this novel to the point of giving it a rating higher than 3 stars, I have to say it intrigued me enough to make me want to read more from the author.
