Going For It

by David Bishop, Carly Bishop

From the moment Jess Hawkins entered reporter Signet Jensen's life, Signet knew she was in trouble. The daring rodeo star challenged her to investigate her own boss, putting her career - and herself - on the line. And Jess challenged her on a much more fundamental male-female level.

Even as Signet gave in to the passion between them, she knew it could never last. Her past had proven she didn't have the guts to live with someone who went for the glory. The sexy cowboy was addicted to the quick fix of winning...but did he have the strength to stick it out for the real hard work of love?

[Tiff · Rating 3 out of 5]

A rodeo type romance with a very stubborn woman. Not a bad read.
