Synopsis: Prepare for the ride of your life this summer in Marcella Bell's bold, uplifting romantic debut.

At thirty-six, undefeated rodeo champion AJ Garza is supposed to be retiring, not chasing after an all-new closed-circuit rodeo tour with a million-dollar prize. But with the Houston rodeo program that saved him as a wayward teen on the brink of bankruptcy, he’ll compete. And he’ll win.
Enter Lilian Sorrow Island. Raised by her grandparents on the family ranch in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Lil is more a cowboy than city boy AJ will ever be. It shows. She’s not about to let him steal the prize that’ll save her ranch, even if he is breathtakingly magnificent, in pretty much every way going.
The world watches on as reality TV meets rodeo in a competition like no other. In front of the cameras, Lil and AJ are each other’s biggest rivals. Off-screen, it’s about to get a whole lot more complicated…
A Closed Circuit Novel

My Thoughts: This was fun! I've not read many books that feature a rodeo element to it, so I really enjoyed that aspect of it. I also loved the deliciousness of AJ and Lili competing for this rodeo prize, they both need the money to save something that's important to them. They are bitter rivals who turn into something more. It's just fun, a very fun book.

The romance was very much a slow burn, which I kinda liked. They took their time. I mean, they had a lot of things to get past when it came to each other.

I liked this a lot and can't wait to check out more from this author. I enjoyed my time reading this one. If you like cowboys and rodeos, I'd definitely say read it.
