Olympic medal winning figure skater Leah Fitzpatrick, dubbed “The Ice Queen”, is on the downslope of her career when she finds herself roped into a joint promo gig on the professional bull riders’ tour. She’s paired with “The King of Rodeo”, Brady Parrish, and although his looks could stop traffic, she’s got a future to worry about that doesn’t leave room for knocking boots with the sexy rider. No matter how hot he is.
Brady is at the top of his profession. He’s living the good life, and has no idea anything is missing until the cool Leah comes along. He sees something in her that hints at an underlying fire, and sets out to prove her nickname wrong. In the midst of their steamy affair, he falls hard. Blindsided by the potent combination of Leah’s beauty and vulnerability, Brady is determined to melt “The Ice Queen’s” heart.
This was definitely one of those stories where
I had my notebook open, ready to take notes.
I have read a few books by Cassandra Carr, and it’s no secret that I
love her writing. Well, suffice it to
say – I could not put this book down. My
page of notes? Blank. *Sigh* But that’s what happens when you are
so engrossed in the story that you can’t stop reading for even long enough to
write down a few key sentences. I don’t
even have a heartwarming or clenching quote for you!
This is book two in the Buckin’ Bull Riders
series. Book one focused on Conner
(dreamy Dom cowboy) and this book focuses on Brady Parrish, The Rodeo
King. Yeehaw ladies, you do not want to
miss this one!
In this book Brady is on tour, and his
promoters have decided it would be a good idea to pair him up with “The Ice
Queen”, figure skater Leah Fitzpatrick. They
were right, it was an excellent idea! I
was a little unsure how this would play out – a bull rider and a figure
skater? But have no worries, because
Cassandra totally made it work. Let
royalty reign! (Get it? Ice Queen, Rodeo
King….ba-da-dah!)
Brady is the fun lovin smart mouth cowboy that
you got a little bit of a tease of in Impact, and he hasn’t changed. And he’s even picked up on a few of Conner’s
more dominant traits, which I think worked out just wonderfully for everyone
involved. And I mean Brady, Leah, and me
(or you) as the reader. Ok, and as
Cassandra as the author. Brady is smokin’
hot, and he is not about to admit defeat.
Leah is a bit gunshy, the product of some
haughty parents who parade her around like a prized poodle. But there is a warm woman in there, she’s
just been hidden for too long. I really
loved how Brady was able to see through her tough-girl exterior and get to the
heart of the matter.
