Book Review: All’s Fair in Love and Rodeo

 

Finding Love Through Grit and Grace…

Samantha “Sammie” Abel, formerly of the Buckin’ Babes reality TV show, always wanted to be known for more than her beauty. The new Grit and Grace Rodeo Roughstock Company, founded with her friends, is her opportunity to prove she can compete in a male-dominated world. She just needs to secure their first rodeo contract. Nothing stops her—not an oops pregnancy, sexist demands or the unexpected arrival of her baby daddy intent on winning the same bid.

Professional bull rider Alec Neisson knows he can’t compete forever. The youngest in his wealthy ranching family, he’s always been determined to step up and prove he can run the family’s lucrative bucking bull program. As a favor to his grandfather, he heads to Last Stand, Texas to prove he has what it takes, never dreaming his family business opportunity will pit him against the woman he’s tried but failed to forget.

Only one can win, but when Alec discovers Sammie’s news, more than his career is at stake, but he needs to woo Sammie and gain her trust.




My Review

This is a sweet and charming read. Despite not experiencing Sammie and Alec's first time together, I still felt the chemistry between them. 


Sammie shows that even being pregnant, she is still a "girl boss".  Instantly, I warmed up to Sammie and liked her a lot. Despite me not being pregnant, I found myself hungry while reading this book due to all the food craving that Sammie had. 


The way that Alec cared for Sammie is very evident. He is gentle and protective of Sammie. I like that he did not pressure her but supported her. The romance is not very physically featured in this book, but it is still strong. Not even romance book had to be open door romance. 


This book was a very, quick read for me. Engaging characters and a good storyline. I will continue this series with the next book.
