"Cathy McDavid did an absolutely fantastic job of describing the horses, the rodeo, the events, athe skills for riding and the tie down roping, and so much more! With a bit of a "broken" family to keep you guessing what will happen next, this book is sure to be a good addition to your Harlequin book collection." — Jodie M from Goodreads.com
