Handful of Sky

by Tory Cates

Shallie had to make her way in rodeo, a man's world, and Hunt McIver's help was invaluable to her.

But the man himself remained a mystery. Why would he help a woman whose motives he didn't trust? Yet together they warmed the western nights and built a dream beneath a sky as wide and beautiful as the love they learned to share.

I always look forward to the vintage or ‘old school’ romance prompt. I usually pick up a Betty Neels or a nineties historical, but this time around, I decided to switch it up. I’m not sure how I originally came to own this 1982 rodeo romance, but Handful of Sky by Tory Cates ended up being a nice surprise. When it comes to rodeo, I’m generally rooting for the animals, but Cates made me care about the people and get invested in the leads’ romance, so hats off to her for this one.

Shallie grew up in the rodeo world, and her big dream is to establish herself in the business. Her father and uncle were champion riders, and she now works with her uncle in the family business, contracting to supply local rodeos all over the west. It’s the early eighties and rodeo is clearly a pretty macho culture, so Shallie faces an uphill struggle to be taken seriously as a businesswoman. She perseveres by being calm and competent, without curl-tossing or being ‘feisty’, so I was rather fond of her from the beginning.

I'll think about picking this up again when I'm more forgiving about insta-love.
