Her First Rodeo

by Kelly Papyrus

Making its way across the biggest arenas in the Southwest, the Diversity Rodeo spotlights the unique talents of cowboys and skilled horse riders of Native American, Latinx, and African American heritage. For some cowboys and cowgirls, its a chance to showcase talents they've practiced for a lifetime, like bucking-bronco riding and barrel racing. For others, its a rare chance to step outside the expectations of traditional culture and discover who they really are.

Carmen Ramirez starts the rodeo as a traditional Mexican horse dancer, her dream of racing horses competitively made impossible thanks to her strict parents and their rules. but as she continues to get to know the other riders on the circuit and learns more about herself, her desire to set her own path grows stronger. Encouraged by new friends and the potential to become a champion, Carmen thinks she might be ready to take on her own road to rodeo stardom.

4.5 Stars for Her First Rodeo (audiobook) by Kelly Papyrus read by Valentina Ortiz produced by Bryant Street Shorts.

This was a interesting story. A romance is sparked as a young woman steps out on her own into the world of Rodeo. She meets her man and finds her career in one fell swoop.

I listened to this audiobook on Scribd. I enjoyed the way the MC grew into herself and began to change her view of the world as she found her strength while appreciating her heritage. There's a bit of spice but not much... Like 1 or 2 chili pepper's worth! ;)
