All is fair in love and rodeo.

As the second woman in history to qualify to ride rough stock professionally, McKayla dreamed of making a name for herself. Trailblazers allowed nothing to get in their way, and neither would she.

Fresh off an injury, Wyatt returned to the arena with a vengeance, focused on winning. As a champion on the rise, there was no room for distractions. Not even the woman who bucked like a bronco between the sheets.

Their one-night stand turned into a heated rivalry. Who will win the title? And at what cost to their hearts?

Review:

Rodeo Rivals is a fun, little steamy novella. As such, their romance is pretty short and sweet, but Jayne does a great job of introducing her characters and creating a connection between the two. There’s a good conflict with the rivals element as McKayla tries to make her mark in a male dominated field but Wyatt proves himself to be a real stand up guy all around. Supportive and respectful (with a good dose of dirty talk) in the bedroom and out. I do wish we got a little bit of an epilogue tho (or maybe another story in their world :)) because I enjoyed them so well together and want more.
