Can they set aside their differences to save their livelihood?

Kenzie Wallace can’t believe Jesse Singer’s gall. He blames her for nearly bankrupting his family’s rodeo stock company!

So Kenzie takes a job with his biggest rival, determined to put Jesse out of business.

They work hard at their rivalry until an outlaw rodeo circuit threatens the sport—and the livelihood—they both love.

To save the rodeo, they have to join forces, even though Kenzie would rather ride her rankest bull than work with Jesse.

But as resentment gives way to respect, the real challenge is resisting the heat between them.

The arena’s not the only place hearts are pumping. If they want a shot at love, they better get their lassos ready. It’ll be a wild ride.

This is a no-spice romance, perhaps with closed-door or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved.

Title:  Her Rodeo Rival’s Return
Series:  Singer Pro Rodeo Romance #1
Author:  Rebecca Crowley
Published:  July 28, 2026
Publisher:  Harlequin Special Edition
My Rating:  4 stars

Her Rodeo Rival’s Return begins the Singer Pro Rodeo Romance series with a couple who really, truly hate each other.  Based on their own experience and opinion, they might be right about what caused the hatred… or both be so wrong it’s painful.  It really depends on a point of view.  Yet they can both agree on one thing: their love for their chosen profession/sport.  The rodeo is life and career for them both, and when a nasty, cruel new outfit shows up on the circuit, they’ll set aside their differences to work together… but only so far, and very reluctantly.

I enjoyed Kenzie and Jesse both individually and as an eventual couple.  Oh, they’re both stubborn as mules, deeply believing that only their version is the right one of what began this whole thing between them.  And they don’t back down from each other, or from a cruel owner who cares little for the employees or the animals of their operation.  Their story is well-written, emotional, intense, and full of wit, sarcasm, and danger.  If you like your enemies-to-lovers romance full of banter and heat, then you’d enjoy Her Rodeo Rival’s Return.
