My Review:

 

Cash McGuire is a professional bull rider. It’s a tough life. He’s lucky to spend 8 seconds on a bull. And once he’s off, he’s even luckier if he can get out of the ring without getting gored. But it’s a life he’s chosen and loves. And he sees no end in sight.

 

Until a baby is left on his doorstep. His baby, as it turns out. He takes his daughter, his longtime girlfriend, and ranch hands on the rodeo circuit with him. It’s a challenge, but he’s determined to be a good dad and maintain his ranch and career.

 

Little did he know what bull he would pull and how the ride would end. The bull bucks him and gores him. The man’s lucky to be alive, but his rodeo days are over.

 

One might think that’s enough for one person to handle, but wait, there’s more. Someone is injuring and even killing his livestock, his livelihood. With his injuries, Cash is forced to rely on others for help—something he’s not used to doing.

 

A Bull Rider’s Heart is a wonderful story about determination, dedication, and love. Cash is forced to pivot, and rethink his priorities. But more than that, he finally starts to think about those around him—his daughter, his brother, and his  girlfriend.

 

Betty Derr May has created characters you love, from Cash to Lyndsey, his girlfriend, and Agnes, the ranch cook, who takes care of him (and his daughter) like a mom.

 

She vividly paints the world of a working ranch. She shows not only the triumphs, but the disappoints. May gives us a sneak peek into the back rooms and offices of the rancher, as well as the auctions, and the rodeos.

 

This book won over my heart. I loved the story, the characters, as well as the world May built. The ending is sure to melt your heart.

 

I’m hoping we see more of Cash, Lindsey, and everyone else in their world.

 

My Rating: 5 stars
