I loved how Tricking Christmas is filled with humor, rodeo, and romance. Truitt Lucas is a calf roper is so funny and rendering. He's an alpha male who also has a soft side.
But Jolee Judson fascinated me the most. What a trick rider! She's talented, sweet, and a go-getter. The kind of woman I strive to be.
There's a smooth mix of rodeo, ranching, and farming with games and family fun. Shanna Hatfield makes me laugh. I can see perfectly what the characters are doing. Her descriptions leads me into the theater of my mind with clear anticipation.
This rodeo series is fantastic. I've read every book!
Will an innocent offer of help lead two obstinate hearts along the road to love?

Jolee Judson is living her dream as a trick rider on the rodeo circuit,…
Lisa Jordan caught my attention on the first page. She has a sweet author voice that flows into her characters. Have you ever read a book that keeps you up into the wee hours of the night?
Redeeming the Cowboy kept me up! Way too long. Bear Stone is the kinda cowboy, an ex-bull rider, who I'd want working my ranch. He's smart, willing, and patient. Persistant too. Qualities I like in a hero.
Then there's Piper Healy. An artist who lost her grandma and her way. She fights to keep her grandma's art shop going. I love a strong female character who is independent, but not so much she can't let a love in. Piper is my favorite character in this series because she's so kind, gracious, and and forgiving.
Bear and Piper make such a wonderful couple. I didn't want the story to end.
Five years ago, bull rider Bear Stone lost everything. His best friend. His fiancée. His career. And Piper Healy, his best friend’s wife, never forgave him for the rodeo accident that killed her husband. Now they’re working together to save his family’s ranch. But can this cowboy choose between his last chance at the rodeo…and the woman he’s falling for?
