Amarillo by Morning

I loved Cal. He is a free spirit, and Serena is his match. Good series.

Cal McKinney is a carefree live for the moment rodeo man. Cal loves the rodeo and had no thoughts of settling down until he met boot designer Serena Davis. Serena wants Cal to be the spokesman for her boot company, but Cal has different ideas. Cal agrees to be the spokesman, but only if he can become a partner in the company. For Serena her boot company is everything and she has no intention of letting Cal have a piece of it. Cal has no intention of going away and he plans to get Serena to change her mind. Meanwhile, Cal wants to see Serena on a more personal level. They are both attracted to each other, but Serena has a secret that keeps her from getting close to anybody. Cal not only has to break down the wall Serena has around her business, but also the one around her heart. This is a good addition to the Crystal Creek series. I must admit that I did become a bit aggravated with Serena. Cal proves that he will stand by her and love her, but she still insists on pushing him away. If Cal wasn't so determined and hardheaded he might have lost Serena. This book also has brief appearances by characters from previous books. Lynn's story (White Lightning) is up next and I look forward to reading it.
