Sassy Women Tame Testosterone In Texas!

I loved the portrayal of the strong, sassy, female roles - whose fearless, ‘go get em’ attitudes ( whether at home or in the rodeo arena) had me in awe and taking notes…Lol!
Their shared banter was hilarious (especially to this reader/listener, for whom the ‘Texan’ and ‘Rodeo’ allusions and metaphors proved refreshingly fascinating and new!
The male ‘leads’ were expertly drawn - distinct ‘quirky’ characters with their individual strengths and flaws ( but, at heart, good men with the soundest of intentions…)!
Perhaps, my favourite was the small boy - he was a total delight and so ‘real’ that I suspected the author must, surely, have had just such a child in mind for his character! His cheeky and knowing ability to catch his parents off-guard, along with his irrepressible determination to be both ‘heard and seen’ at all times, had me in stitches - and wishing he were a member of my own family, Lol!
The female narrator has done a fabulous job in bringing all these characters ( male, female, young and elderly) to life! Each ‘voice’ was entirely recognisable and believable - whilst her own was very ‘easy on the ear!’

My only difficulty, re. this book, proved to be my ‘British’ squeamishness as I listened to the graphic descriptions of rodeo riders ‘raking their spurs’ down the sides and into the flesh of the horses and cows - horrific! Of course, I’d selected to listen to this title ( and the whole series), because I love this author’s work) but haven’t, so far, been able to put aside my disbelief that such animal cruelty is still permitted ( and applauded), for ‘entertainment’ and money, within the 21st. Century USA!

Nonetheless, another great story from this esteemed author - and brilliant narration to complement it! Thanks, both of you!
