The rodeo queen  Cover Image Book Book

The rodeo queen / Marcella Bell.

Bell, Marcella. (Author).

Summary:

The rules of being a rodeo queen: no creases, no boyfriends, no mistakes. With more crowns to her name than hairs on her head, Sierra Quintanilla knows the rulebook inside out. And with Closed Circuit, the reality-TV-meets-rodeo-tour competition, back for a second season, she's ready to play her part to perfection. But no one is actually perfect. And nothing is more dangerous to a rodeo queen than desire... As a teenager, Diablo Sosa was sentenced by a judge to attend a Houston youth rodeo program. Now an attorney at law, Diablo spends his days seeking justice. He would never have returned to the arena but for his old mentor, so why does the pounding in his blood feel like a homecoming? Or perhaps that's down to Sierra, the hostess, who shines brighter than the studio lights. From Houston to New Orleans, from Miami to Las Vegas, Sierra and Diablo wrestle with a connection that could cost them everything--or else lead them right to where they're meant to be....

Publishers Weekly Review

The Rodeo Queen : None

Publishers Weekly

Bell does not disappoint in her second Closed Circuit romance (The Wildest Ride). Latina rodeo queen Sierra Quintanilla, the public face of Closed Circuit Rodeo, has worked hard to perfect her flawless persona of femininity and innocence for the audience. She's convinced herself she's happy and thriving--but a dance with "the devil," Diablo Sosa, makes her realize just how much she's missing. Black Latine Cowboy turned attorney Diablo walked away from the rodeo arena due to fatigue and frustration with rodeo culture's whitewashed cowboy mythology. When his father figure, Henry "Old Man" Bowman, the owner of Cityboyz, an after-school program, asks him to compete on Closed Circuit to promote the program, however, Sosa does not hesitate. Sierra and Diablo could not be more different, but there's no denying their attraction. For Sierra, though, being with Diablo would mean risking her perfect image--and her job. Meanwhile, Diablo's love for the rodeo is again challenged when a bigoted fellow contestant tries to destroy the competition. Bell brings the diverse world of competitive rodeo to life with vivid details and enhances the slow burn, opposites attract romance with chemistry and banter. Readers will be captivated. Agent: Helen Breitweiser, Cornerstone Literary. (Dec.)
