I enjoyed this book in the "Women of Character" series. The characters are complex and well developed with interesting lives and problems to solve. The heroine, Tye, is a rodeo rider who among other events, rides bulls. When the bull she's riding drops dead literally on top of her, she loses the lower half of one leg. The book does a great job of dealing with her self esteem, anger, depression and adjustment to having to live with prosthesis. The hero, Jake, was her teenage sweetheart who she left when she was 17, in order to do rodeo instead of marry him and settle down.  Jake had to give up a college football scholarship in order to take over his father's business and become the head of the family at 19 after his father lost both legs in a car accident and a subsequent stroke.The story is interesting and well written. The plot revolves around the characters and their relationships to each other, misunderstandings, old anger, and unresolved issues that have been years in the making. I wasn't totally sure how the book was going to turn out until the last chapter.Heat factor moderate.
