A FAMILY FOR THE BULL RIDER is a study on dysfunctional families. The Morgan's have quite a history of issues and at the center of these issues is the patriarch Josiah. When his first wife left many years ago Josiah was left to raise his sons and it seems as if he ruled with an iron hand. But the more we learn about the Morgan men the more enlightened we become to their true personalities and their hearts. Even when conflicted because of personality clashes -- these Morgan's have deep rooted connection to each other.
So when Josiah is facing life saving transplant surgery the son who has been so distant is summoned back into the fold. It is Jack's kidney that is the perfect match. Kind of ironic wouldn't you say.
In A FAMILY FOR THE BULL RIDER Tina Leonard sets out to tell us a story about a very intricate family tree whose branches are somehow coming together under one roof. This reunion is not altogether met with joy by all the Morgan's. But Josiah is not giving up without a good fight. He has a lot to live for.
Here's where the search for family comes into play. Josiah has an open offer -- one million dollars for each of his sons that comes back to the ranch for a year. Jack has no wish to leave the bull riding circuit. He has no need for that million. But then he gets reacquainted with Cricket. Cricket had been attracted to Jack for a while and realistic that no one would ever tame this wild man. The very fact that Jack was willing to give his kidney was a look into his heart. Perhaps he wasn't untouchable.
Cricket was totally out of her wheel house when dealing with the likes of Jack Morgan. But her relationship with his family was solid. Spending time with Jack would lead Cricket on a route that no one would ever expect. Jack definitely didn't fit her dream of a prince but he was going to give her an experience that would last forever.
Life and love are never simple. In A FAMILY FOR THE BULL RIDER Tina Leonard is pretty brutal and honest about this difficult family. The reader will quickly get invested in this cast of strange characters. Strong, vital, interesting and stubborn. Getting to know the Morgan's is a treat. A FAMILY FOR THE BULL RIDER is not dependent on any previous story. Tina Leonard has an entire series starring the Morgan's so if you are hooked just look them up and enjoy.
