About this ebook

Nate Grant knows that his eldest brother has the respect, his middle brother has the smarts, and he was left to fight for his own piece of the spotlight. Thus, began his daring, dangerous, and often a little bit crazy foray into the world of rodeo. Now, with his career on the rise, Nate is back in town to do a promotional show at the local Strawberry Festival to land himself a major sponsor. But when he arrives expecting to be welcomed as the hometown hero, he instead finds himself challenged by the only person who could ever make him shake in his boots: Athena Moore.


Athena grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Limited money for rodeo lessons or competitions meant that while she could best the boys, she couldn’t follow them to the big leagues. Watching Nate excel really lit a fire in her britches and after school she began training and teaching young girls rodeo skills. Winning against Nate at the upcoming Strawberry Festival will show the girls (and Athena) that they could do anything boys could—and do it better to boot. 


But promoting the event means Nate and Athena are forced to spend time together. Too much time to keep their tumultuous feelings under wraps. Now, there’s a grudging respect to their relationship and a heavy dose of passion too. But as Nate and Athena get closer, their competition becomes public via a reality show. When the lines between promotion and passion are crossed, they’ll be forced to ask themselves what it is they’re fighting for...and what they’ll lose if they win.


This novel contains sexual content, profanity and scenes with substance abuse.

A nicely written story about two people. Nate and Athena grew up together and competed in rodeos together. It had been a friendly competition between the two of them. But Athena’s mother had health problems that kept Athena from being able to pursue her dreams of a rodeo career while Nate moved on and became a star. Now he is back for a competition that will pit him against the winner of a local competition. He has a lot riding on this, career-wise, including a sponsorship. Athena has been running a training facility for young girls who are interested in learning about the rodeo. Sparks fly between the two when Nate wants to pretend they are in a relationship for publicity and to increase his chances of getting the sponsorship. It seems everything Nate does is for publicity and to make sure he gets what he wants. And although he does try to do some things for Athena, it still is with his career in mind. Can they come to terms and find a common ground? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres. 


The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east. 


Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
