Jordan Valley Roundup
[d-w13163]

5 of 5 Stars Jordan Valley Roundup was my first cowboy romance and my first time reading this author, but it will not be the last. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was so pleasantly surprised that I devoured the book in one day! I was drawn into the story from the first pages, when barrel racer Jessie is injured while competing in a rodeo event. Enter dreamy cowboy, Mich Tanner. When Retta, Mitch’s mother, takes Jessie home to care for her, I walked right into their sprawling Oklahoma ranch and felt right at home. The descriptive writing was that good. Retta hires Jessie to work with abused horses, and the reader suspects that Jessie might be in need of some healing as well. As the romance between Mitch and Jessie unfolded, with hints of buried secrets, I found myself cheering for them, hoping their secrets would not tear them apart. The writing was smooth, the characterization spot on, and I even learned something about the thrills and dangers of life in the rodeo. I appreciated the message of faith and Christian love that were gently woven throughout the story. I look forward to reading more from this author! *I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All of the thoughts and impressions contained in it are my own.
