"Look out, world! There's a new cowboy in town."--Carolyn Brown, New York Times Bestselling Author for Tangled in Texas Rough and tumble, cocky and charming, Joe's everything a rodeo superstar should be... And he's way out of Violet's league. Violet Jacobs is fearless. At least, that's what the cowboys she snatches from under the hooves of bucking horses think. Outside the ring, she's got plenty of worries rattling her bones: her young son, her mess of a love life, and lately, her family's struggling rodeo. When she takes business into her own hands and hires on a hotshot bullfighter, she expects to start a ruckus. She never expected Joe Cassidy. Joe came to Texas to escape a life spiraling out of control. He never planned on sticking around, and he certainly never expected to call this dry and dusty backwater home. But Violet is everything he never knew he was missing, and the deeper he's pulled into her beautiful mess of a family, the more he realizes this fierce rodeo girl may be offering him the one thing he never could find on his own. "A sexy, engaging romance set in the captivating world of rodeo."--Kirkus Texas Rodeo Series: Reckless in Texas (Book 1) Tangled in Texas (Book 2, coming February 2017)

Reckless in Texas

Lover of Romance 

Reckless in Texas was such a powerhouse of a read, and this book completely swept me away. I couldn't believe that I had waited so long to read this book. This has been on my TBR since 2016!! And even though I love me some cowboys, I am not sure why it took so long to pick her up, but I saw this one available on my library catalog (and yes I know its in KU) but didn't realize until after I had grabbed it from my local library. From the first moment, I was completely swept away by this story. There was something so balanced in this book and normally most angst romances just aren't like this at all. There was this light balance of humor that was so well done. I was really drawn into the relationship dynamics of this story. We have both characters that are athletes of sorts, and I liked that this one wasn't the typical cowboy romance. We have a hero that basically plays with BULLS haha not a risky sport at all. But I loved his relationship with our lady. They definitely get into it, but I fell like all the way through the story we get to see these hidden depths to the characters that are just hidden so much of the time. We also see them learning to rebuild trust not only in each other but in themselves and their decisions. 

I am definitely seeing why so many readers fell in love with these books, and you can bet that I will be reading more of this series.
