Cody by Megan Crane

4.0

Loved it.

I'm not generally a fan of cowboys or bull-riding but I read and enjoyed [b:Casey|34821400|Casey (American Extreme Bull Riders Tour Book 3)|Kelly Hunter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1491627902s/34821400.jpg|56043220] so I looked out for other books in the Bull Riders series. For the record, each book is by a different author. I lurve Megan Crane's books so this was a no-brainer when I saw it on NetGalley.

Skylar Grey has returned to her father's home in Billings Montana after the death of her fiancé in a car crash two years ago. The middle child, the peacekeeper, Skylar feels like some kind of walking cliche. All anyone ever says or does in relation to her is sympathy foe the death of Thayer. Sometimes she feels like she has ceased to exist as a separate person. At her father's annual Fourth of July party she escapes yet another well-meaning but irritating guest offering their opinions about her emotional state when she opens the door to a cowboy.

Cody Galen is the old man of bull-riding at the age of 30. A walking cliche: the hard drinking, buckle bunny chasing, taciturn loner, Cody knows that this is his last year on the tour. Forced to attend a tour mixer hosted by some local big shot in Billings he is pole-axed by the elegant, calm, 'nice' woman who opens the door.

Whilst everyone around them tells them this is wrong can Cody and Skylar make something real from a one night stand?

Although this was plenty sexy, it was romantic rather than the full on steamy "give me a cloth to wipe my face" sex I've come to expect from Megan Crane's Edge series.

Megan Crane flips the tables with this cowboy, despite his past Cody forges a deep connection with Skylar almost immediately and breaks his own rules about never going back. Skylar, on the other hand, the 'good girl' is more than happy with a no strings relationship based entirely on sex.

I've got to get my hands on the other books in this series, a lot of them are written by some of my go-to authors.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
