Genre: Clean Sports Romance
The perfect vacation: Rest. Therapy. And miles away from Reid Browning.
At first Eden thinks she's spending three weeks at Broken Hearts Ranch to heal her head. But the longer she works with Kellie, the more she realizes her head is not the only thing hurting. Images from her tour in Iraq stay hidden but not deeply enough, and she knows she will need to forget or heal or both if she is ever going to move on. As a bonus, the ranch was going to be a good opportunity to avoid the dating scene, and men in general. Or so she thought.
As a world class bareback rider, Reid has given his all to rodeo and does everything he can to forget his law degree and the fast paced life he left in Washington DC. That includes the woman he recently met who got under his skin in all the wrong ways. The trouble is, she got under his skin in the right ways too. When he escapes to Texas to support his college brothers in the Lost Creek Rodeo, he couldn't be more surprised to find her there.
Sparks fly and not always the good kind, but when circumstances throw them together and barriers come down, the two just might find a path to healing and maybe even love.
Welcome to Lost Creek Rodeo!
Best friends at a small college in Texas, six cowboys rise to become pro-rodeo stars. Follow Ryan, Reid, Westin, Ford, Eric and Lars in these six swoony sports romances.
My Review 🧡
Getting to know Reid Browning in Chute Boss, it's clear to see why he is the unofficial leader of The Original Six. Smart, headstrong, and focused, not to mention devastatingly handsome, Reid is the whole package. Reid rides bareback in the rodeo, and is feeling the tug-of-war between the tug of his father's world (the very political, corporate America) and where his heart lies, which are his rodeo passions. Though he tends to come across as a player there is a deeper side to this ruggedly handsome cowboy that Eden Cooper seems to quickly tap into, a place few have truly been.
Eden is a character that I deeply admire. A military vet, Eden is fighting neurological damage from her time in Iraq, and is fighting demons from her time at war. The beautiful sorrow between Reid and Eden is expressly poetic and really captured my own heart. Eden is a challenge to Reid, and I love that! She craves and strives to be strong, and doesn't just give into a situation, but fights for what she believes in, and I admire that so much. Seeing two broken people help each other despite their amusingly volatile relationship makes for a charming story that is real and relatable.
I know this is a love story, but I was touched by something much more significant, a stirring reminder to give thanks for those that have fought and sacrificed for my freedom. To those who have served, thank you so much for your service! You sacrifice does not go unnoticed. I also love that the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that is very near and dear to my heart, was mentioned! Such a wonderful institution that needs more recognition! I left this book feeling more patriotic than I have in a long time, and that makes me happy.
The advice that Kellie gives is spot on (she is still my favorite character!) and there were a few pretty steamy moments, but nothing too graphic. It's obvious Eden and Reid are passionate in more ways than one!
I truly adore the Lost Creek Rodeo series so much, The Original Six starting to feel more like family to me, and I can't wait to get to know the rest of the team!
