I fell in love with your spirit, your resilience\u2026your heart. You\u2019re the strongest woman I know, Zoey. And I admire and respect you more than anyone else in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Opinion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>This story follows Zoey and Shane. Zoey is a photographer who is sent to Montana to take pictures at a rodeo but finds herself out of a job when her boss gets a bit too flirty for her tastes. When she confronts him about it, he fires her on the spot. Meanwhile, Shane is a rancher and bronco rider at the rodeo who is addicted to the thrill and wants to ride until he is physically no longer able. Shane has no interest in a city girl from LA being at the rodeo but when a girl goes missing, the unlikely pair team up to help solve the case.<\/p>\n<p>This is a contemporary enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that features cowboys; what is not to love? Like many of Carson\u2019s other books, this is a short and sweet romance that features strong female characters and the men that fall for them. Carson\u2019s writing style flows well and creates an easy to follow story that is easy to get addicted to. If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019ll find yourself turning page after page until you\u2019re staring at the end of the book all in one sitting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, if you like contemporary romances featuring cowboys, small town love, action, suspense, intrigue, and of course romance, then this book could be for you.
