Interesting revelation that Cord had been a rodeo guy. That sounds like an "iffy" kind of life. We lived 9 years in Mesquite, TX, and I never went to a rodeo. I'd probably be too concerned about the safety of the animals and the cowboys to enjoy. Interesting that Cord recognized his stolen bull among the rodeo bulls. In your paragraph about the brand, it sounds like Sam is the one with the small brand in his ear. You might want to clarify. Cord needs to trust Ali to manage on her own. She doesn't need to have someone guarding her all the time. Joyce is so out of place, showing up like that. As Cord says, she embarrasses herself. If Ali truly wanted that lawyer's job back in New York, she'd have skedaddled back there already. I think she'll find her place in Texas. They have lawyers there too. judi

Thank you for the kind review. It has been alluded to before that Cord rode in the rodeo. I have been to many rodeos. My uncle was the first bull rider induction into the rodeo hall of fame.

You're welcome. We were living where one was nearby, but I never went. I didn't think I'd care for it. judi

Another excellent chapter. I am enjoying this story a lot. I didn't see any mistakes, as usual. What kind of problems will happen because of finding the bull. Enjoy your evening. Shirley

Good chapter. Glad to see the police get involved, I was wondering about that. Also, Cord addressed the leaving of messages in a world of cell phones and texts. Sometimes old flames so come back, but I would be careful, that happened in your last book too.

I never happened in my last novel. George was dead, he couldn't come back. Thank you for the kind review.

Come on now. You know I'm talking about Cord and Gabriel's ex girlfriends. There was even had a pizza scene with Gabe, Kate and her kids.
I'm just saying be careful, that's all.

I'm sorry I thought you were discussing only the females. I'd forgotten about Gabe's friend, truly, I had. Only she wasn't a former girlfriend. She lived with one of his friends and when he kicked her out for posing for a porn magazine she attempted to go to Gabe, but it didn't work. She and were never together previously. As for the pizza, it was simply dinner before, it had no other part of the story, this pizza was to show a possibility of compromise. I see it as totally different. Many of my reviewers so it as a interesting idea for compromise.

I love to read your stories, you have figured out what's right and what's wrong, and you stick to your guns, I think that the love between a man and a woman is laced with respect, a man should cherish his woman, and the man be worthy of her respect. Beautifully written my friend, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from Anne Johnston
Enjoyed this interesting chapter. I am glad that the missing bull has been found and hope there is not trouble in them recovering it. Let's hope Cord has got his message across to Joyce and she will not bother them again.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I'm a sucker for these feel good chapters. And from the looks of things, there are more troubles brewing on a couple different fronts with the bull and the ex. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Curly Girly
Another great chapter, Barbara. Stealing a good bull -- I'm sure that's a serious crime, on a par with cattle rustling.
This section describes a horrible woman well --
"We were never good together. There were problems long before I left Houston. For one, you're always angry just like now. We never discussed any problems because of your anger. You never listened. It was all about you and what you wanted. I hated city life and still do. You need to leave. You're embarrassing yourself." He turned and left.
Yeah, she was always too busy yelling to hear what he had to say. Nicely put.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Too bad for Joyce.
"Ali, go to the barn," interrupted Cordero. - I've noticed that Cordero is a bit abrupt. A 'please' here would be nice.
Just and observation: From the time Cordero checked his watch until he said to Ali "I shouldn't have kept you out." could only have been about 10 minutes.
Best wishes.

Cord has been known to be abrupt once in a while. It's part of who he is. At this moment, a please doesn't fit. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from nomi338
I really like the chemistry between Cord and Ali. Joyce needs to come to grips with the fact that she has been replaced by someone who give Cord what he has always wanted, a true companion, one who is not selfish and self centered. The fact that Ali's mom and Cord's mom are oild friend truly helps to seal the deal between them.

This is another exciting chapter, Barbara. You've got lots going on this evening, things that will lead to more chapters. Well done.
One little spag: "they found a seat toward the top of (the) bleachers"
