I loved everything about this book from beginning right up to the very last word. I thought I had already read every book that Carolyn Brown had written, that is until I came across these last few books. If I'm not mistaken...I think these were probably some of her earlier works, but they tie in with all her other books. Although, most of her books can be read as stand alone books.Jodie Cahill is a previous winner of the Professional Bull Riders' gold belt buckle. Just about the time she decides to go back on the road to compete once again, she falls on the ice out back by the barn and breaks her wrist. She has already sent all her entry money in for the events, and is so depressed when they tell her she can't ride until she gets a medical release from the doctors. But they do make her a different offer. Jodie turns them down, but after she thinks about it a little longer, she decides to go a head and become a judge instead. Trouble is she won't be going alone. It seems that she will be traveling with some short, fat, balding free lance sports writer, or she assumes, anyway.Boy is she ever wrong. The man who shows up at her house that morning driving a vintage green mustang, is the complete opposite of what she'd first imagined him to be. What she finds is a man who's approx. six foot three, blonde curly hair, which is a tad to long for her taste, and gorgeous deep green eyes. But he's also dress in expensive, preppy type clothing that looks as if they were taylor made just for him. Her first thought that came to mind was, that he was going to look so out of place in the rodeo circuit. Her second thought was, that it was going to be a long three months.James Moses Crowe jumps at the chance to travel with Jodie Cahill. For years he's been trying to get her off his mind and out of his heart. Now he has the opportunity to do both. It doesn't work. In the course of the trip, they both have to face their own feelings and wonder if, in the end, they will bless or curse the broken road that caused them to run smack into each other.Would I recommend this book? You better betcha' I would, in a heart beat!
